I've been watching the price of datacoin drop lately, and I've been thinking about investing. I've already invested in MemoryCoin (MMC) and datacoin seems to be at a similar price-point right now. Some analysis:

With MMC, there's 10 Mil coins before 2% inflation kicks in, so if you wanted 1/10000 of the initial 10 Mil, it would cost about $100.

However, I found this thread on datacoin:
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=358592.0

It says that there will be 2 Billion max datacoins, so buying the same 1/10000 of the coins would cost about $17000. Something doesn't add up...

Is the max coins figure from the above thread incorrect? Or will the max coins not be hit for centuries?

Maybe there's someone on this forum that can advocate for datacoin and explain the situation...

Each block is stacked on top of the previous one. Adding another block to the top makes all lower blocks more difficult to remove: there is more "weight" above each block. A transaction in a block 6 blocks deep (6 confirmations) will be very difficult to remove.

Another question: has anyone spent any money to upload data to the datacoin blockchain? What was the user experience like? Do you feel that it was money well-spent?

stay away from investment learnand watch at least 6 months. You will see. But if you want to feel some pain go for it.

Good find. It looks like they have an interesting service built upon datacoin.

I'm only investing very small amounts at this point. If I were to buy into datacoin, for example, I'd probably only buy $50 worth. I can easily afford to lose that much.
