I "translated" the info on the rucoin.org site:
What is this crap, RuCoin?
This is not (yet) project p2p-kriptovalyuty almost completely analogous BitCoin
For what it is, this new kriptovalyuta RuCoin?
RuCoin a substitute BitCoin, but the goal is not the case. Purpose - to provide redundancy for the system BitCoin, increase the stability of smeystva kriptovalyut, which will undoubtedly grow and develop.
Why reserve BitCoin?
Peer kriptovalyuty for someone as a "thorn in the side." It is difficult to anticipate all the nasty things that can come up with attackers to cause some harm to the independent system. And this unknown, but potentially possible threat - scary, it calls into question the confidence in the system. It will be safer if the system bude to have some redundancy, for example, a parallel system that performs the same functions, but not on performance of the prototype and other crypto-currency.
How will the reservation?
To take advantage of redundancy should be using any existing exchange or currency exchange office to change a portion of their funds in addition to RuCoin course, which will be alive at the time of exchange. Of course, in the future will change course, and a reverse exchange value of the coins will be acquired either increase or decrease, depending on market movements. You can play on the difference in rates - rates as kriptovalyut is still relatively easy to predict, more or less understand all this is possible without great labor increase your savings. But the thing that you can get from investing in the reserve kriptovalyutu - extra insurance in case of any problems with BitCoin.
What extra buns promises RuCoin?
Since RuCoin starts with a lag of BitCoin more than two years, there is some interesting nuances:
First, it is mining. Many envy those who are at a very early stage of development BitCoin engaged in mining - that is downloaded your computing power generation of coins when the complexity was very low. Now their fairy coins increased in price. Something like that probably awaits the first to believe in a new backup kriptovalyutu and connect to its mining their computing power.
Second, since RuCoin comes in the wake of BitCoin, then knowing the history of BitCoin be highly likely to predict what awaits RuCoin. What imeeno benefits it gives - anyone can come up with your own.
Already there are many new "under-rates" ...
A number of projects that are based on ideas and code BitCoin. Typically, these projects were implemented under the banner of "catch up and overtake Bitcoin", so the upstream developer changed the algorithm of the system according to their ideas about how we can all be improved. RuCoin project is not intended that any develop and improve, and vice versa, is the most conservative position in order to maintain and use all that has been proven in Bitcoin.
Why this name RuCoin?
What's the difference what the name of the crypto-currency? This is a matter of taste. But generally the name RuCoin born spontaneously among Russian-speaking developers who conceived this project to implement. Of course, this has nothing to do with either rubles or rupees, or with geography.
