next thing you know is there's a virus that steals your mtgox account in a coin-client...
 nothing surprises me lately, after seeing this madness.
this releases only benefit the miners with huge mining rigs ,
normal people cannot and will not benefit,
until a fair release mode of coins is invented
they will just be leaving their $ for another pump-and-dump-my-infinite-amount-of-coins-scam...

Lets looks at some facts about this CHNCoin.

The member who release the coin created the account the day before and has only  7 post.  5 post to get out of the Newbie area. 

Not true. The member who released the coin chatted with other members on the Chinese board https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/chncoin-litecoinp2p-192115  S/He even gave a begger 888 coins, showing some human side.

Quote
1 Post in the Chinese forum area 4hrs before another post in the Alt Crypto Forum.  During which over 1000 blocks had been mined already.
Not exactly and there is more to it. Another member pointed out ( https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.1992635 ) several hours after release there were 14,000 blocks already. At one block released per minute, it would have taken 9 days to mine that many blocks.
This post https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/harvey-chncoin-192768 reports that the CNC client has a bug in it such that it releases a block every second! Explaining the high number of blocks generated and high number of invalid finds from solo miners.

All this reminds me the good old times on GLBSE. Where people were somehow eager to put big money on assets sprouting daily from totally anonymous guys, with as much as information as "just give me your money and I'll make you rich"... oh, the nostalgia.

Now it's the same, just with coins.

Fucking ChinaCoin or VirusCoin. FeatherCoin is a joke. However copying FeatherCoin makes a bad joke

The only joke is so much talent wasted on this board on high school nonsense.  I would hope that most of you would like to see your particular coin gains more public adoption.  Posts like 'virus coin', 'f-this', 'scam that' reminds the public these coins are still very nerd-angry centric.  I have no clue about the creation of Chinacoin, that didn't stop me from suggesting to those that were interested how to get things moving. Too many people are sitting in a sushi restaurant yelling 'fish is a joke!!'.

As always, do what you want. Happy trading and have a great day.

I imagine the person who released this coin is sitting back and laughing his ass off at all the lemming who jumps at the chance to mine a coin with zero information at all.  Why go through an effort to pump a coin up yourself,  if all you have to do is release one and let other people waste their time doing it for you and then reap the benefit yourself.

Lets looks at some facts about this CHNCoin.

The member who release the coin created the account the day before and has only  7 post.  5 post to get out of the Newbie area.  1 Post in the Chinese forum area 4hrs before another post in the Alt Crypto Forum.  During which over 1000 blocks had been mined already.

Does it offer anything innovative over litecoin?  Nope.

Do we know who even made the coin? Nope, there has been no information on the developer at all.  The fact that the Linux version wasn't compile correct shows just how much effort they put into making the coin.

If this is what happens every time a new coin is released then I feel that the crypto-currencies as a whole are bound the fail.

ha,,,,,,,,,ya....

It's a fucking chinese coin. The fact that you expect the same introduction as a native coin is absurd.

Face it. Just about anyone can make a coin now. They aren't all going to be high quality ventures.  Feathercoin was also a joke, a joke that was more accepted but a joke all the same.

A website really? A 1 page text site, that contains the identical information that was posted on the forum makes it a legit coin?  Tell me this. If you went through the effort to make a coin and a site wouldn't you at least put your name as a developer on the site?

The only name we see is this CHNCoin, which is probably a throw away account to hide the real person who made this coin.

The exchange and people buying are all people hoping to cash out on this new crazy.  I feel sorry for them since they're trading for coins that will have little to no value in a week.

One of the reason Bitcoin has any value is the perceived rarity of it.  It's hard to mine and there's only going to be so many so it must be worth something.  If there are new coins coming out every week that are identical, except in name then where the rarity?  Why should I mine 1 LTC a day when I can mine coin of the week x at 1000 a day.  All it's going to do is ruin the reputation of crypto-coins as a whole.

If it's a pump and dump that will be forgotten in 2 weeks time, then that is ok.

But if it survives and becomes somehow usefull, then that is not ok?

Imagine if all previous coins were mostly in china, and someone released a USA coin, boom hashrate

I would totally back a USA crypto currency. I would hope that it is more innovative than the previous copy cat chains, but I would still back it anyways.

It would be cool to tie in a democratic type voting system like I have seen people talk about for new coin ideas. I'm not sure exactly what we would vote on though rofl. Maybe have monthly voting on the rate of inflation? the percent of demurrage? the rate at which coins are minted? transaction fees? etc?

MURICAA!! USACoin! USACoin! Who cares if it sucks? It's America, woooo!!

Why are so many people so trigger happy at the thought of turning cryptocoins into the failing fiat money we use today?
