Uh oh, the altcoin wars...

By the way, there's a lot of confusion around zerocoin: http://themisescircle.org/blog/2013/08/22/the-problem-with-altcoins/

Although that article is correct that there can only be one dominant unit-of-account, it is not true that we don't find utility in other assets, e.g. gold, silver, stocks, options, etc..

The article is correct that no altcoin has yet created a feature set that was differentiated enough to make such a claim.

The article is also loaded with strawmen and incompletely-explored-partial-truths.

The nitty-gritty details matter.

Why not Namecoin?
