Also add my new upcoming currency "piCOIN" - the slogan will be "There is enough pi for everyone" or "Because pi tastes better than bits"

You could start a whole website tracking all the crypto currencies that aren't bitcoin.

Call it "Shitcoin.com"

Let me see if I got this right ...

Bitcoin is one electronic currency. Namecoin, IXCoin, IOcoin, etc is a different electronic currency, is that right? Just like if Bitcoin is the equivalent of USD, Namecoin could be the equivalent of EUR and IXCoin could be the equivalent of GBP?? Is my interpretation of this correct?

Not correct.
Bitcoin: money.
Namecoin: DNS.
IXCoin: 'little Fred wants to get rich' scam.
IOcoin: it could be fun to make a new chain, so lets do it - maybe Fred wants to buy some IOcoins too Smiley

LOL!

Agree:

Bitcoin: Money
Namecoin: DNS

However (and i dont care if Fred get rich or not):

IXCoin : Money (just like bitcoin but matures quicker, by the way I'm not fred)
IOcoin : Money (i didn't realize its a whole new block chain?)

If every random stream of hash values is money in your eyes, I am happy to sell you a bunch of those. And I have a very big depot at /dev/random Wink

Money is about trust. All those FredCoin miners did it only to get some bitcoins from Fred. No one is keeping FredCoins because as soon as Fred runs out of his subsidizing money it will be game over for FredCoins.

I don't see why Fredcoins wont be accepted as an alternative crytpo currency?

I agree, money is trust. I trust bitcoin, and since Fred coin... sorry - IXcoin is built in the same safe way there should not be a problem. I couldn't care less is Fredie gets rich.

Also.. whats up is I0coin? should we not all be shouting about that too then? whats so different about it?

The trust lies in the 2.5 year old block chain.

If Satoshi would have done like Fred - "I pay you all 5 times your electric bill for generating some random hash values" - a lot of people, like today, would have mined for his money. But as soon as he runs out of money, everyone would have stopped too and the project would be declared dead.
So what makes bitcoins different to FredCoins is that initially no one was payed to do it, people found it usefull (or fun) and only after some years then they started to value bitcoin with USD.

AFAIK you wont be paid mining IOcoins, at least until Fred weights in with his money. Apart from this, it is the same.
And by reading some postings in this very forum, I think they serve an additional purpose. A lot of miners don't understand difficulty and the fixed supply rate. So they can be happy mining some trillions of FredCoins / IOcoins, at least until they realize that it was just wasted electricity. And that means more for the bitcoin miners, but don't thell them Wink

That's fair enough I suppose. I do hope for alternative crypto currencies. I think they would be good for Bitcoin and the community.


Imagine if all we had was the dollar, no EUR, GBP, FRANC ect.

Kudos to fred for copying it. I also like the idea that it matures quicker.

BTW Fred uses a unique genesis block and chain.

I assume tonight's new I0coin also has this. What is different about I0coin. I cant find any information. Is it just the same?

Well, if you are a fan of alternative block chains, make your own. Will take you only a few minutes.

1) Download bitcoin or xicoin source.

2) Define a new genesis block
https://github.com/ixcoin/ixcoin/blob/28b781f6390173dd31d771c4e061468256758dfe/src/main.cpp#L1515
Don't forget to start with some message like "To see the farm is to leave it"

3) Change the has hash of the genesis block to whatever you made it in (2):
https://github.com/ixcoin/ixcoin/blob/28b781f6390173dd31d771c4e061468256758dfe/src/main.cpp#L33

4) Optional step: get yourself more money: change the value of a single block
https://github.com/ixcoin/ixcoin/blob/28b781f6390173dd31d771c4e061468256758dfe/src/main.cpp#L639
Fred wanted 96 per block, instead of 50. Pro tip: make it a few thousand at least, miners will be happy

5) type make

6) Huh
7) profit!!!
