Dear Altcoiners,
One of the main problems with all cryptocoins in existence is their high value fluctuation. These fluctuations make them attractive as investments or trading opportunities but not as money. For Bitcoin, this problem will start to disappear when the valuation of bitcoin is over 100 billion Dollars, and probably will become irrelevant when bitcoin valuation will exceed 1 trillion dollars because the larger the behemoth the harder it is to make it dance. But we are not there yet. For all other cryptos the problem is even worse.
So how to overcome this problem? We need to create an altcoin that will have built-in in its protocol several new features:
- Generate an initial amount of coins to attract interest from miners, for instance 1M initial coins. - Once this level is reached (or a large % of all coins mined), the protocol switches to a new regime: from coin mining to coin monitoring. - Coin monitoring means that the protocol should check with a given frequency (for instance daily) several independant internet nodes to find out the equivalent price of the coin in dollars (could be in other currencies, gold, etc). These internet nodes should be well known exchanges. - Adjust the supply of coins to keep the value of the coin constant relative to the dollar: if people are buying the coin, then every owner will see an increase in his coin ownership, if people are selling the coin, then every owner will see a decrease in his coin ownership. - There should be a built-in voting mechanism to allow to add new internet nodes, remove old internet nodes.
Possible names for this coin: REFCOIN (RFC, ref = reference), DOLLARCOIN (DLR, name if the coin is related to the dollar), EUROCOIN if the coin is related to the euro, etc.
Let me know what you think!
