Mt. Gox creator Jed McCaleb invites ‘alpha testers’ for secret Bitcoin project

[tokeweed]

My guess is that he's finally going to do something with that site he created in 2006: http://www.who.is/whois/coinconverter.com/

wondering which kind of audience would have wanted to convert which kind of coins in 2006 and how and why

he is satoshi.

he is satoshi.

Quite a few people have actually theorized that in the past.

Has anyone signed up and gotten an invite to anything, or has it just been crickets after registering?

[cccarnation]

You think maybe they could fix the site first?

As I understand it he sold the site and is no longer affiliated with it.

[NotAtOld]

Heard an argument that Jed is Satoshi

So the secret project was another coin or what was it? I mean wow, I thought we'd be remaining in the Bitcoin ecosystem here. And altcoins don't exactly have the best reputation...

It's not quite just an "altcoin" if you read the full description of all the features.  It's more of a platform for every currency to exist in harmoniously.

Isn't that what ripple also claimed to be?

and mastercoin, and etherum and nxt and...

you will not get enough momentum behind these things. especially when its not bitcoin-based.

Move thread to alt section to die.

This sounds a lot like some kind of exchange.

I am pretty sure that it is widely believed that the market cap of all of the alts take away from the market cap of bitcoin so I really do not see how this would ultimately be possible?

[herzmeister]

looks like a 99% Ripple clone

I agree. This isn't really a Bitcoin discussion, since it involves the creation of yet another altcoin.

This shouldn't come as a surprise. He has profited from Ripple a lot, why not to the same thing twice?

SO many decentralized exchanges and platforms under development. This is pretty good news. Everything will be decentralized in the future...including the government. Let's do this.
