What I will do is become a miner and sell the coins and buy BTC.

Then you will be doing exactly what the currency is designed for.

Let me reiterate again: the purpose of this *coin is to cleanly separate the dual purposes of money, medium-of-exchange from store-of-value. You trade your mined freicoins for BTC, but the counter-party to that transaction doesn't want to hold on to freicoins any more than you do. So he uses it to buy services he needs, and the service provider gets rid of it by paying an employee, and that employee spends it buying groceries, and that grocer turns a profit and invests it in bitcoins, bringing the Freicoin cash back to the exchange, etc., etc. ad infinitum.

Bitcoin is and always will be an ideal mechanism for storing value, superior to Freicoin in that regard. That is expected, desirable, and by design.

A coin (medium-of-exchange) should be a store of value. Both workers and grocers would prefer to trade a coin with a store of value. People only save money to use in the future or to buy a bigger ticket item.

smoothie: I'd be more likely to question the motivation of a cryptocurrency developer who doesn't ask for money.

Hmm perhaps then you should put your faith into what you wouldnt be more likely to question right?

Oh wait, you wont do that because you dont believe what you just wrote. Please prove me wrong and send the OP your money Grin

I already have.

How much?

A matter of perspective: from your perspective, too much. From mine, not nearly enough.

Merged mining is an important feature. It gives miners a reason to mine something that at first will trade for almost nothing, and if Freicoin ever takes off then Bitcoin can free ride off the high subsidy.

Of course they will. The question, as always, is at what price.

Do you really think that people will spend bitcoins to buy freicoins THAT THEY DO NOT WANT? Really?
