FYI
https://cryptocurrencynews.wordpress.com/2013/04/13/april-13-daily-roundup/Of course none of the mainstream media is reporting on ppcoin's energy efficiency design
yet, while looking for all excuses to demote bitcoin.
But for how long would they hold the bastion?
The problem is the major bitcoin media themselves are shortsighted and not reporting on ppcoin's energy efficiency design either.
bitcoin people you need to understand that we are in this battle together.
In
my humble and maybe totally misleaded opinion it is okay to stay under the radar. Not much marketing needed, the concept stays for itself. Mainstream media is still doing the mental work in processing bitcoin and the possibilities of such a new thing like crypto currency. bitcoin itself stayed under the radar for nearly two(?) years.
And the general mainstream bitcoin community has to process the fact, that - in my humble and maybe totally misleaded opinion again - the mainstream economists are right in some aspect of bitcoin: It is not useful as day-by-day-currency. Its strength (and intrinsic value) lays in the storage, hiding and transportation of wealth. And this qualities stand and fall with the resilience against a 51%-attack. From my gut feeling, this attack is already being planned and prepared right in the moment.
(On the other side these economists and journalist are whining for central state control. This is, of course, not acceptable (to me).)
It is not necessary to "hold the bastion". The principle of crypto currency and its usefulness is now discovered and prooved and will not go away anymore. Like the wheel or book printing. (That's is not totally correct: If the establishment succeed in the breeding of the
slave race and in the elimination of the rest, no one will be able of thinking self-reliant about crypto currency. But in this case there are other problems to handle than digital currencies).
In
my humble and maybe totally misleaded opinion again, I think, the best way to hold the bastion is make ppcoin better on a week-by-week base. This also includes the small details - like the name
or that there are still strings containing "bitcoin" instead of the real thing. Then it will be ready as safe harbour, when bitcoin is under heavy attack.
Some more easy-understanding documentations about what to do to get coins by holding them. How the difficulty and the block rewards are calculated. I am still desperately -
- looking for that information.
ppcoin is open source. (Is it?)
