MASTERCOIN VS BITCOIN - First Speculation thread ever

[passo]

when will the homepage work again?

I'm assuming you mean the distributed exchange. This is software you will have to download. I'm told it's ready for linux and macs late next week. Windows shortly after.

There is already a homepage up and running. mastercoin.org.

i mean mastercoin.org   I have tried to acces it for a week but i get "server not found" every time.

SInce bitcoin already has value, it does not seem very clear why there is a need for a whole new altcoin to serve as collateral. Is there some technical problem that made it impossible for bitcoin itself to be used as collateral?

This is not the real mastercoin, do not invest in this.

Bitcoin doesn't support the distributed exchange or smart property or betting or all the other cool things mastercoin allows.

But it does, the whole point of the mastercoin project is that such things can in fact be done using the bitcoin blockchain.

So far I have not come across any technical problem/glitch that necessitates a whole alternative currency to serve as collateral instead of bitcoins themselves serving as the collateral.

Derivatives are by definition derived from something. MSC's worth isn't derived from anything. Therefore it isn't a derivative, and since it doesn't have nearly the network advantage Bitcoin has, its just another crapcoin, only marginally more crappy than the others due to the fact that it also bloats the blockchain.

Not true, Mastercoins worth is derived from the bitcoin block chain and the features made on it through the protocol 

What an idiotic thing to say.

MSFT is moved on NYX's exchange, that doesn't make MSFT a derivative of NYX.

Mastercoin is moved on Bitcoin's blockchain, that doesn't make Mastercoin a derivative of Bitcoin.

The two examples don't analogize. Mastercoin makes use of Bitcoin's allowed functionality to add functionality and value to Bitcoin, MSFT just exchanges shares through NYX.
