I do not want to create a coin to compete with the alt currency. I want to learn more about the possibilities that can be created by the coin.
Do you think that the altcoins are a phase-out model? And how do you think about what the industry needs?

Got it, thanks for responding!

I think nearly all altcoins exist to allow a very few amount of people to create their own get-rich-quick opportunity via a pump and dump scenario. There are 200+ and I'll be generous and say that 10 have a legitimate reason for existing, but really I only think 5 are real.

There are a few core issues the industry needs to overcome:
  • Transaction size limitations
  • Instability of the price (limits adoption as a currency)
  • True anonymity

Litecoin has already solved the size limitation and currently has a rather stable price. Bitcoin is struggling to accomplish all three. Monero offers greater anonymity. Dimcoin (I've heard) offers a novel way to allow the price to remain stable for transactions but allow appreciation for the benefit of store of value (using two coin versions).

Ethereum isn't currency, it's something entirely different, but we can talk about that if you want.

If everyone who's put money into  altcoins for the purpose of hoping for their million dollar day put that money into Doge, which was a f*cking joke, they'd realize their million dollar day! That's why all but 5 altcoins are garbage, schemes, meaningless.

What are your thoughts?

Hello there!!!

Can someone tell me the most important features of a proper and trustworthy cryptocurrency? And what features are you missing from today's currencies?

Thanks   Smiley Smiley Smiley

Ok, everything that exists in Bitcoin, Litecoin, Monero, and Dash, and then add...

  • The ability to easily enable infinitely sizable transaction throughput sizes (to avoid any need for forking)
  • The ability for a stable version of the currency to exist for transactions and an appreciation friendly version of the currency for store of value, anyone wanting to spend bitcoin can transfer to the transaction-based version for that purpose
  • Don't make the total coins available exceed 21 million and start mining for all from day one (don't pre-mine)

A more important question is why do you want to create a coin to compete with the big 4?  Another alt currency is not what this industry needs right now.

  • Quantum secure signing algorithm
  • Perfect Forward Secrecy proven, which I am not sure AES based algorithms have, they could be vulnerable in the future
  • Scaleable decentralization, no server farms, everyone should be a node
  • Trusted hardware, it's worthless to have a full node without the means to know that the hardware is trusted
  • Meshnet, in case the internet gets shut down
  • Deterministic software programming ,so that we know each bit is trustworty and comes from the same source

Yeah these would be nice, the crypto world is still very young, it will take a lot of work to achieve these.
