man you're an ass sometimes


I happen to like the name. Curie is the shit, she has units of measure named after her, a couple nobel prizes, and x-rays.... 'nuff said.

It probably will be. That is the most important reason that we are asking for the help of everyone here.
But if we don't try we'll fail for sure, right?


Thats a good idea, we definitly will try that.

It's very funny, but it doesn't really represent the idea imo. But perhaps bananenplukker thinks otherwise.

Add POS to the coin. Make it a bit rare.
Why would you even go for MarieCurie?

FührerCoin would work better lol. I'd buy as much as I can with all my BTC 

As you may have noticed, this point has already been made. If you wish, you could give us a few alternatives so that we may consider them.
Then your comment would be more of use to us.

That is going to be the hard part

Should come with a warning:  Mining this coin can cause radiation damage

The name is bad.

Yes exactly. Marie Curie was very persistent in her research, as well her life. It's unimaginable how much effort she put into her life to achieve what no one else could. She even paid the ultimate price.
The name was not intented to be very clingy, or straight to the point. It was made to show people we put thought into this.

More questions are always welcome, and ideas or people joining us even more welcome.

Good question. Marie Curie was one of the most, if not the most influential female scientists of all time. Likewise, we hope to create a coin that will influence how we think about altcoins. We hope it will inspire the altcoin community to not only invest in this coin, but also inspire to make better altcoins in general, like the inspiration Marie Curie was and is to a lot of scientists. It may sound random, but I think it has more of a thought behind it than some other altcoins. (which I'm not going to bash)

Not to poo poo on anything here - this sounds very well intentioned - but I find the coin name to be very odd and rather random.

Why will it be named that? A good name is very important to a coin's longevity.

For those who are going to respond to this thread, we're creating this coin together. So i'll be keeping an eye on this thread as well.

Hi all,

Because of all the recent altcoins all having strong and weak points, we thought of combining characteristics from each one of them to create an alt-coin that actually adds something new. This coin, MarieCurieCoin (MCC) will offer reasonable difficulty to reduce stales, fast confirmations and fast difficulty retarget to block multipools. This coin will use the common scrypt algorithm to ensure almost everyone will be able to mine a reasonable amount. Also, MCC is different from most altcoins as we will make sure everything is accounted for at launch time. We will post the launch time here, but it is expected this might take a while. Don't think you're late to the party, launch time will be posted here around 2-3 weeks before release.

You might think this is a joke because I'm relatively new here, but I've been lurking around these forums for quite some time now and I have seen altcoins perishing because of several reasons. We want to make an altcoin that doesn't fail on an important aspect, one that isn't just litecoin-clone #123. Something that is easy to use, has a reasonable value and quick difficulty retarget to combat abuse. We want something that actually contributes to the altcoin community, instead of deteriorating it's image. We want a coin that actually gets adopted and has a working pool standing by at release. We want MCC!

At launch, the following will be available to support MCC's long-term value and usability:


-windows executable
-github
-mining pool (PPLNS, low fee (0,1-0,4%)
-online casino to play with your earned coins (gambling with MCC for fun)
-reasonable difficulty (0.2-1)
-reasonable reward (5-20). This reward stays the same, but difficulty gets higher in time.
-decent website providing information regarding MCC
-no premining/instamining/whatever, this coin is fair and square to anyone


Because there is quite a lot of work to be done, anyone with expertise regarding one of the bolded aspects above is welcome to join and support this coin.
