I appreciate you appreciating me that I appreciated you for task that would be appreciated in future.
Keep it up!

Thanks BTCIndia, Appreciate it

I understand the mental pain your're going through right now, your feelings bubbling for the government, test of patience you're going through. I mean, every single emotion! I must remind you that, you're not in some desi trade where you just buyandsell like a provision store found in native Indian gali for sake of making money(in the name of organizing market or reducing pain of customer) thereby promoting semi-understood philosophy wrapped in surprise gift of economic imperialism. I believe, you've a vision.Trust me, everything will be okay in end, if you're right.

May god give you god thoughts and power to execute them!

Thanks BTCIndia,
Yes we will do our best to live up to community expectation and release right information on right time

We are putting honest efforts and as we mentioned earlier we are open for suggestions and ideas but have patience and wait for right time

It is easy to make comments here but difficult to get reply from Law agencies

I request this community to write to Indian govt to have policies in place for digital currencies

Laxmicoin,

I request you not to take advantage of Swadeshi sentiment to promote Laxmicoin rather promote it on concept. I sincerely wish your Laxmicoin lives upto communities expectation. Eagerly waiting for further information for further support.

Guys,
Hold down and wait for announcement , We will make everything public and it is honest effort but some people want to know before we have announced

We are making every effort to launch but we have legal hurdles and be assured we will make every detail public

"Us vs them" is always there only difference is platform where this occurs. In past it occurred over spirituality then things changed to physical dominance.. thereafter came money as a form of domination. We're living in age physiological domination.  Look at me me now, trying to conquer you with arguments and hollow logic's. It's always "us vs them", m'dear. How can you deny competing economies existing in world? Apply same to Bitcoin ecosystem and ponder. If ' by together' you mean virtual-currencies then for sure, I'm in.

My concern is- Bitcoin is tradition english and Swadeshi Currency will be English 2.0. Even if new English had marginal improvements over traditional English where is the infrastructure? Where are the vast tomes of literature written in English 2.0? Where are the speakers and writers and scholars of this new language? Where are the libraries and Wikipedias full of English 2.0 articles? How many newspapers are written and conveyed in English 2.0? How many podcasts, videos will disseminated in this new alternative currency matters. That infrastructure wouldn’t exist, and neither therefore, would the users. This is merely the natural, spontaneous consequence of network effect, and it applies to English as a protocol for language just as it applies to Bitcoin as a protocol for money.

I'm still contemplating...

Hail crypto-currencies!
Reject Bitcoin!

Lol cmon I know you have to run a company in India but atleast don't sound so naive and make it sound like an "us vs them" . We are all in this together.

Cheers to Bitcoin!
May God bless Bitcoin after the whole world !!

PS: I am as "eastern" as you claim to be

Okay, I'll learn to look beyond boundaries. I've update myself with the needs of whole world,now. About, Swadeshi currency- we all have freedom of thought. I can't sub-consciously force you to accept as I'm not developed with tools like marketing personnel out there...Chuck it! You're west, I'm east.

Cheers to Bitcoin!
May God bless Bitcoin but after my country!

Dear BTCIndia,

Learn to look beyond boundaries, there is a whole world out there having the same needs. I don't think at all that we need a  "Swadeshi Virtual Currency" .. we just need a currency that solves problems of real people .. irrespective of country, caste, color, religion, sex, etc.

And don;t get me wrong I might sound tongue in cheek but I say the above with all humility. Imagine if all of us thought the way you said ... there would be 200+(for every country) digital currencies (we already have fiat for that). And all of them are just manipulated and also make for a very inefficient system (which is why BTC sprang up in the first place ... ah what am I saying - the world is just round ... if you know what I mean).

Cheers

Dear thenoblebot,

Greetings! Can you please kill 'greedy part' for a minute and think yourself as "Mother India" and try to see Bitcoin from her frame of mind. Hopefully, you'd able to see what I see and mean.

P.S. I don't appreciate Laxmicoin until and unless all information is public. I only appreciate Swadeshi Virtual Currency.



Jai Hind!

Well in that case i call it  bullshit. you dont  have any thing. and  just  another  Quick  money making  scam. If you do have a product i will make sure that you follow ethical process. ie opensource codes from a different program needs to be  credited to the right source. i hope you follow protocol especially when you are talking about your fictional coin.

p.s i am really good  working with Ida-Pro when i am determined to find code copyrights violation.

Good luck with your  endeavor and stay honest. Stealing from the opensource community will get your booted out.

Please don't make comments without knowing, We will release the details when required meanwhile you can do guess work

Well i like that you said that this is an  excelent  question but the  answer  was  not  excellent enough. The  bitcoin conference was not  a  conference in which the  indian Bitcoin community  attended and many stayed back  even  those  from Banglore, if you are under the  illusion that your  presentation  made  it  outside  that every one  now  know  the  answer  then you are  mistaken.  The  true  community is in here, and  the  answers  are being  requested here. and if you be  so kind as to  bestow  your  answers to us it will be  more than  helpful, or may be  even a  whitepaper. Right now  it looks like  you havent  started  with your  project and  doing this  just  to  hype  up  what ever  altcoin you would  release and  make  a  quick  buck on it.

Excellent question and we actually answered this in our presentation in Global Bitcoin conference, We will have distributed ledger we are working on this strategy
and all Laxmicoin Wallet will be made public

Putting cap and setting basic valuation we are still debating on this

but in general also if you look Bitcoin is stolen so many times but no one could stole ripple .. although we are not working like Ripple but want to compare

Well the problem is this, you'r proposal  suggest that there needs to have a central  authority.

this  central  authority  issues  the  coins. (This  it self  creates a problem "Why would a central authority issue  coins")

Issuing  central authority will hold all the  control on  what price  fluctuation it  will make. e.g today you may decide to  sell the coins at the rate  of  Rs. 10 for the next  1 years, and  for  some  reason  you  then  start  selling  it  for  Rs.2.

Or  some one  else on the market has a lot of these coins  and  then starts  selling  it  at Rs. 2  the you  start to  sell it  at Rs 2 to  make up  for the  cost, what is there to  stop such a  thing  happening.

You are  saying  you will make it  distributed to  other  using  it, and  will earn  your  coin  if they  contribute  their  computing power. How  will you track their  contribution. through  hash solution, or  login  time?

Then comes the problem  of  transaction processing,  with a DDOS attack on you  main  node  or  even  all the distributed  nodes  a  DDOS  attack can  be  sustained . secondly  what about the  51%  attack on your  coin, what if  some one  with  enough processing  power  gets  to your  network and  processes  his own  transactions  then  he  can   effectively  ruin  you entire  ledger.

The  other  big  problem , because it is  a central  authority issuing  coins  , what if a  hacker  gets to your  wallet and  destroyed all your  coins. how  will you  address this  problem. You will be  handling  a lot  of  coins  and  will most probably have to have your  wallet  with a  significant  amount of  coins  on it. cant  keep  transferring small amounts  from  a cold  wallet to a  hot  wallet  a 100  times a  day. 

the most  biggest  problem i  see is the DDOs on your  nodes. a  sustained DDos attack on the  nodes for  a  week would  mean  the coin becomes  as worthless as sand. Ckz you will have  verry little  number of  nodes.

How many people  have Bitcoin, How many people in India have Bitcoin?

Our will be much more distributed then what Bitcoin can be, I am sure not more than 10,000 people in India have bitcoin or max 100,000 people

100,000 people out of 1.2B people 

By different mean of owning Laxmicoin we will make sure this is distributed right and try to do our best so more people can own it

lets think about this, What % Indians own computer?

Out of people own computer % are good for mining , In this case mass of the population will be left without any laxmicoin  or Bitcoin

our aim is to come up with solution which maximum people can use it

if you have suggestions we are open to idea please let me know,  I would love to have skype call with you and get ideas/suggestions

Benson,
I agree this market is for 5 years but today's market mined currency is not feasible in Indian environment

yes definitely we will have to innovate and change with time

the market fluctuation is because of isolate exchanges. as long  at there are  isolated exchanges the price fluctuation  will be  manipulated by those holding the largest amount. but that hold is only temporary, every year  there is  spike in bitcoin prices and every year  the  ratio at which this  spike happens  is lowered. that shows the indication that those manipulating the currency  is  loosing  grips in  manuplating the  market as more  distribution of  bitcoin happens.

however with a system like Ripple and the one you  are proposing it  will  fluctuate, due to many reasons , government  intervention, economic collapse, internal rigging, DDos attack, on you main node, a mass dump by a  person holding  a  large  amount of the premined coins and many more.
