There is already a burn coin

I am aware of burnercoin [BURN], a motor enthusiast crypto; burncoin [XBC] seeks to strengthen the burningman community by providing a medium of exchange for life in and beyond the temporary cities, and festivals.

[soaples]

another burncoin or the same burncoin?

[ipominer]

Sounds interesting - we'll keep an eye on this.

[spacelab]

different coin

[xibeijan]

Boring clone.  Anything new?

[DonQuijote]

What do you think about masternodes?
GPU miners will be available at launch?

[romeshomey]

Isn't there already an [XBC]?

[spacelab]

Isn't there already an [XBC]?

Yes, we might have to change directions considering cryptonote will limit how many people mine.

I will be holding a poll for everyone's favorite algo.

Again this coin is in the pre-planning stages, ultimately a cryptocurrency developed by the community, for the community - essentially i opened the dialogue, and everything is open for discussion/change.

wtf are you talking about.  This is just an open discussion to have a coin where everyone has a voice and is as fair as possible. 

Are you not reading or are you just a bot?

Boring clone.  Anything new?

..arent they all clones??  When an architect builds a bridge they generally use 'cloned' designs and structures.

This coin is ultimately for enriching the Burningman community, and providing a platform for a gift economy.

I would like to have GPU's available at launch; and wallet available at launch.

Masternode has been attributed to DRK's fail - so perhaps we should consider developing and implementing burnnodes

No they're not, a clone implies an exact replica. Sure the underlying principles are the same but they're not all clones, some have fundamental differences and advances.
