Help test zib-denominated tipping via ChangeTip at Reddit (or on Twitter with an @zibcoin mention):

Still an altcoin - people who use bitcoins won't recognise zibcoins - just not an altchain.
Zibcoin is kinda like the first altcoin, created by myself in 2011 Jan, Tonal Bitcoin.
Except Zibcoin seems to acknowledge some of the problems with SI, yet still wants to use SI...
BTW, ZBC has some rather unknown preceding (and obvious) use by Dozenal Bitcoin.

I think that both SI and Tonal are too difficult for everyday usage.
In everyday usage, what actually matters are short and memorable words, combined with a system that people are already familiar with.
People are already familiar with dollars and cents, i.e. 1 dollar = 100 cents.
"Zib" tries to do the same thing with satoshis, i.e. 1 zib = 100 satoshis.
If you just say "zib" without "coin", then it doesn't sound that much like an altcoin anymore.
"Zib" is the only integral part of this proposal, everything else is subject to discussion.

I'm confused as to what this actually is. So is it an alt coin built on top of Bitcoin?
No. Zibcoin is not an altcoin.
The following is true:
1 000 000 zibcoins = 1 bitcoin
0.000 001 bitcoins = 1 zibcoin
So, Zibcoin and Bitcoin are both referring to the very same monetary system, they are just different units.

Congratulation you might have success with this zib coin, yes you really need to change the logo as this one is so simple to make with windows paint program.
Thanks!
I agree that good artwork is needed to make Zibcoin a success. Unfortunately, I'm not an artist.
Therefore, I call out for a public competition to make the most creative Zibcoin artwork. Let's think about ZIB, the space dog, and anything else that supports our idea.
The winners will be awarded a honored place in the Zibcoin community.

Zibcoin is named for, among other things, ZIB the Soviet space dog.
Drafted at the last moment when the intended astro-dog was unavailable, ZIB survived a suborbital test flight in September 1951. Attaboy, ZIB!
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soviet_space_dogs#Bolik_and_ZIB
That means he got closer to the moon than any Shiba Inu.

I think we should elaborate a little bit more on the space dog theme:
Because, you know, dogs are quite popular these times.
Any thoughts?

Yep, I did it myself, so there's no bounty payout this time.
The next item on my to-do list is to integrate it into Zibcoin-Qt.
Not my fault: This was done by a moderator.
However, technically speaking, Zibcoin is not an altcoin.
So, I reserve myself the right to move this thread back to the main section again, as soon as we want to have the next attention boost.
30k ZBC are promised to be paid for a better iconclaimed by klabaki, see above

Somehow this thread has wound up in the "Alternate cryptocurrencies" sub-board again.

Yet, zibcoin is an alternative to the alternatives. It's the affirmative!
Embrace Bitcoin! But quote everyday small values in zib.

While some have alleged this to be a fork of Bitcoin, the complete binary-protocol compatibility makes 'fork' a misnomer. It's more of a warm, loving spoon.
Come a little closer Bitcoin. We love you so much, we just wish there were a million times more of you.

Are these the same as 100 Satoshis, or am I a bit off?
You are right:
100 satoshis = 1 zibcoin
0.01 zibcoins = 1 satoshi
It's just like "dollar" and "cent".
