Topic: Datacoin is the most useful coin of all right now! Support it! - page 2. (Read 1295 times)

1. It has scientific value since it is a fork of primecoin. Energy is not wasted only for heat but also for mathematics/cryptography.
2. It has value as data storage for small extremely important files that need to be stored forever. And this is its main value.
3. It has the common cryptocurrency values and since it is CPU only everyone can mine it without expensive hardware and furthermore, since mining block reward is getting bigger with more transactions and use (50DTC max) that means early adopters have smaller gain than other coins.

Why do you still support retarded coins? Dont waste valuable energy for retarded coins. Help Datacoin succeed.

Most known criticism answer:
Q1: What if illegal stuff on the blockchain??
A1: Namecoin blockchain already has CP and bitcoin already has illegal stuff on it and at least links for CP/wikileaks files but who knows what more. So the common question of "what happens when someone posts CP" has no meaning since what happens to Datacoin can happen to Bitcoin too.

Q2: Huge blockchain
A2: The blockchain is going to be rather big but will not be more than 512GB per year and in fact it is not going to be more than 300 Gb by the end of 2014. There is already thinking for  personal chains to solve the problem but only thinking as of now. However as for bitcoins not all users are really required to have the whole blockchain on their PC as they use trusted exchanges/online wallets. And after all 1 TB hard disk that will not be full until 2016 at least costs now 65 dollars....
