Topic: Altcoin maker (Read 2364 times)

Good idea.

Make a CoinMaker and then put all copycat without any innovation into hell.

This wouldn't be generated for serious programers. it would be created as a proof of concept, released very specifically to overflow and then crash the altcoin market: to destroy the copy/paste coins by allowing anyone to make them, and see how easy it IS to make them.

These coins aren't being pumped out by real programmers. they are being pumped out by someone who just learned to compile in highschool courses and knows how to use search and replace.

Or in the case of say, gamecoin, not even that.

Right now, we have a ballon 1/3 full of shit, the rest empty. You don't know what's in the balloon, at least, most people don't, they just think "ok, great, altcoins!" and each new coin just seems like another drop in the bucket.
 If something is created that allows ANYONE to shit into that balloon, it will explode, and everyone will be like "oh, it was full of shit, well.... shit"

This.

lol, it'll cost 100 piratecoins

I think there should be 2 versions of the Altcoin Maker:

1. Free.
2. Premium (with ability to add trojans and viruses).

Well Im putting up 1 btc, waiting for john k to allow others to add to it.

How high the bounty is?

Message sent to John K. for bounty info, I'll put up a btc

I'm happy some reasonable people know what I'm trying to say

I agree with this idea. Enough of this crapcoin scamfest.

Just give the kiddies something to play with until they get bored so that grown ups can bring forth the future of cryptos. As it stands it is just plain silly and leaves the credibility of BTC/LTC at risk.

I am 100% in favor of experimenting and agree that altcoins need to be created so evolution can take place, but would be nice to see at least some effort put into them, not this copy/paste 'get rich quick' fever that is ruining the reputation of crypto currencies as a whole.

sigh.

Can you guys read?

The point here is clear: Make a program to make new altcoin generation so simple that ANYONE can make one.
We're VERY close now. The only difference in coins is very, very simple changes to the code: simple find and replace in most new releases.
But you need just a hair of technical savvy to get to this point right now. Not much, but enough.

The creation of this program would set up an environment where literally ANYONE can print a coin at ANY point: making it clear exactly how unoriginal and unimportant these altcoins are.

I have never mined bitcoins. I've only had bitcoins as a means to get cash. Litecoin has some point, to be sure, but where we draw the line is hard. Putting together a whitepaper and scholarly outline of the advantages of this coin over a previous one is a good start.
Discussion should happen, and PLANNING, planning a launch, some testing, predictions, etc. not just pumping out a coin that people flood into, mine, and sell off when and exchange wants a piece of the pie.

What we have now is getting nuts. I mean, honestly, I'm mining ROYALCOINS right now. You know what royalcoin has over LTC?
A fucking cool name.
Holy shit.

Why am I mining it?

Because it'll hit an exchange and I can make some quick cash.


This is unacceptable, though. And if we flood this place with new coins, that any member can make in 5 minutes, it will be clear how little they matter: this will stop happening. VERY quickly.

I'd contribute to the bounty, for sure.

dont do it, harmful than usefull

If this is made, I will never use it.

I know your feelings, even considered doing one myself but then I thought a. it'll have nothing new b. I'm not that much of a knob!

My theory is that if anyone can make an altcoin, the market/forum will be totally flooded with garbage, which should hopefully start to make some standards for these altcoins. If it becomes really easy, some community moderation should come into effect.

Also, as proof to people who like investing in new altcoins that they are amazingly easy to make and not something to invest in.

I just wanna make this a quick fix as opposed to this slow monstrosity it is right now. It's getting to the point were a new subsection should be made for markets and ANNounce topics.

shmaltcoins



Regardless I dont really think this is a good idea.

I'll add

just an idea... idk, I can offer a small bounty if anyone can do it

I think it would stop people wasting any more time on these.
It's actually a good idea, if you don't have anything innovative, a marketing plan etc. then your new 'coin' just disappear down the forum list out of site and out of mind.

It would turn altcoins into something else.
