This looks interesting - already raised almost a quarter million (2000+ BTC) and I think he's staking $100K+ of his own money too...  Some interesting concepts in the paper...

Any protocols that build on the BTC blockchain will long outlast any of the foocoin clones.

Read it. So, I send you 1 Bitcoin, you send me 100 MasterCoins, and maybe, they will be worth something some day? Are you people on glue?

Like any of your joke coins will be around or worth anything in a few months? I'd rather support development of something new then dress of the same useless crap code in a new logo and ship a new shitcoin every few weeks.

'old' Mastercoin was just a crappy alt. The new project is completely different and developed by a really well respected developer.

The 'old' MasterCoin is actually the new MasterCoin ... just a bit underdeveloped. The crappy alt is just some random alt the usurped the name.
Hey, I have an idea. Go fuck yourself. The name MasterCoin, didn't belong to anyone at the time. Still doesn't.

So just to clarify, this is different from this mastercoin? https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/ann-mastercoin-mst-sync-problems-fixed-updated-9-sept-2013-242406

EDIT: Ok, yeah, looks completely different after reading his OP again. It does sound interesting...

For those who are not aware, MasterCoin is not just an alt that was recently released, it is actually the name for a much deeper project created more than a year ago by dacoinminster. The name chosen by the recent alt is unfortunate.

The original MasterCoin is not really an alt, but rather another coin embedded within Bitcoin. I advise you all to read up on it, it's fascinating. Investment in creating/bootstrapping MasterCoin is open from today until the end of August, after which the number of MasterCoins will be set. No, there is no code or binaries yet, the bootstrapping BTC will be used to fund the project.
