Topic: I wish to create a currency (Read 2133 times)

I'm guessing English isn't your native language. SAPer was being sarcastic, it was a joke. What he really meant was that it's a very bad idea.

I'm a visionary too. I have a vision of you getting nowhere with this and giving up after being mocked by everyone you talk to about it. You don't have a plan, a clue, any ideas, any knowledge of economics or programming, any practical knowledge, you just want someone else to make you a get rich quick scheme. You didn't even know when SAPer was taking the piss out of you. I created NullCoin with zero lines of code and a 'vision', The source is at /dev/zero if you want it.

I thought you might like that.I mainly plan this as I feel that a viable currency needs an element of stability so by basing the difficulty in the manner described above.Easier for miners,easier for me (as visionary) because not many people can know of a currency overnight and by the time they catch on,it's too late for them already.I think that since people see mining as a a profit machine,why not be more profit friendly while at the same time,give the network other potential uses so that while we're busy mining this new currency,anyone with know how can tap into all that power to help them with whatever they need (research or simply profit from multiple networks at the same time as mining on this one) Even though I may not be good with programming I can at least create an idea that can be useful to people (and not just in films)

Like you,I do wish to profit but not at anyone's expense like that Ixcoin guy.(by premining coins for him self,making a cheap knockoff of bitcoin then passing off as a currency that serves to only benefit him)

You can't fix these problems but they are being fixed.

1. The core bitcoin developers will fix this in time.
2. You think it's hostile here because you have silly ideas about how you think people should treat you. If you want respect you have to earn it.
3. This can only be fixed by getting greater using of bitcoin. That way it will level out like every other currency.

Claiming to be a 'visionary' doesn't count for anything, a 'visionary' has to have a 'vision', you don't.

Why do you say people make fun of you, when they ridicule your inexistent incompetent and unneeded contributions to the progress of humanity? Let me explain your mistakes:
1. Bitcoin is complex. This cannot be changed. It is good it is complex. The average user is an idiot. The unfriendlyness comes from the software framework which can be improved to include accessibility. However with higher accessibility, you either reduce security or increase costs. Maybe you find the holy grail of friendly financial apps. Why not make them for bitcoin? If you are that good by years of usability and user behaviour research, it doesn't matter for what currency it is for.

2. Forums are not part of the currency. American Dolars, Chinese Yen, and Bitcoins do not have an associated forum that puts off prospective users. This is a bitcoin users comunity forum. If you want a better forum, make one, it doesn't matter what currency it is for.

3. No stability of it's value. Unless your currency consists of slaves, and the human population remains exactly constant, then you might achieve value stability. Until then, if the intrisec value of bitcoin remains fixed, remember that the other currencies will change value, the exchange rate will fluctuate. Or maybe you are some kind of communist, and want to dictate a fixed exchange price. If you are, you can do it for bitcoin too, it doesn't matter what currency it is for.

Basically you don't want to create a currency, and you started on the wrong foot with the process. You want to create a better currency experience. We all do. That's why we are here. To tell your ideas suck.

FUCK, YOU ARE GENIUS!!!11

Maybe.  I bet he probably started off with a fucking clue as to what he was doing.

Here's the 1st trickle of info about the planned currency:

Things that the currency must meet:
1.Think of a suitable name-I was thinking alongside the lines of naming it something that is named in one of my future planned films (the year is 2240,e.t.c.anyways it needs to follow the naming conventions of the film for the film and the curency to lift off)
2.Enlist an expert to help me create the new currency
3.Test the currency by 'fake mining'.Fake mining ensures that the currency is fit for purpose.currency made by 'fake mining' will automatically have no value so no cheats can profit before releasing it to the general public due to a hidden code in currency mined during the testing phase.(You can mine but you cant trade them as the terminator code kills off any potential value by adding markers and IDs to ensure that currency mined by testers is not tradeable and that all currency is freshly mined by every1 not a select group.It's too complex for me to  explain but I'm sure you can get the gist of it.Stolen or tainted currency like in real life is not spendable or profitable in anyway.When the thing is in a beta,the only mining that can happen is testing mining.It is during this phase that the coins mined will have a marker in it along with a terminator code,which makes it untradable and only the terminator code kicks in for testing.When the thing is released,every1 will be mining for real so there'll be no need for the 'terminator' code to make the test mined currency worthless and suddenly disappear thus releasing it back to the wild.)
4.The chain will be very long (it has to reflect certain things in a future planned film.the theme must fit nicely and be elegant and robust at all times as a currency) as in when the last block should be.I'm thinking that 200m 'coins' (the final name will be decided later) should be enough before the thing just stops producing.All good projects must come to an end someday before they get tiresome and annoying.
5.Massively boost the reward of each block so that every1s a winner.None of this early adopter/late adopter garbage
6.Must be tradable for BTC.This simply is a must.
7.Difficulty should start off at zero and stay there for a month before changing so that every1 can win.(A more skilled person can help with the design of this.I'm just a visionary)
8.All difficulty changes (rises and falls) must be predicable and not hap hazard to promote currency stability.

There will be more to come for info.I bet that it took the bitcoin guy many years to code bitcoin

I never said you were.

But assuming you're not a troll, I will say this:

Alternate cryptocurrencies don't have a lot of respect around here. Perhaps one day one will EARN its respect. Time will tell. In the meantime, you can't expect anyone to take you seriously when:

a) You want to make a new currency but don't know how to program it, and
b) Your posts lack basic spelling, grammar and punctuation.

You don't learn programming overnight, you WILL make mistakes and fail the shit out of anything you create until you have years of experience. How in the fuck can anybody have any faith in a currency like that. It's not a toy, it's not fun, its peoples fucking money.

This is like the manager of a bank getting his neighbours 12 year old son to code up the banks website for him because "he's a smart kid and knows how to make websites".

Look since I'm getting many reponses like yours wizard,I'll make this official,there is NOTHING wrong with having a desire to learn programming to create a currency.it is NORMAL to ASK for help so that you can learn to then develop it yourself.I bet many people who created your currency bitcoin had help arrangements like I was planning and you don't attack them for it,yet whenever I do it,it's suddenly not ok.So where do I cross hte line?

I am NOT asking people to develop for me,I'm simply asking people to help in co-development like many of your favourite games,phones,software,currency e.t.c.If you can't understand this,then maybe you shouldn't be on this forum then should ya.Think before you speak please and we'll all be a lot happier.

Hey guys, I'd like to build a rocket.

I have no idea how to build a rocket and don't know that much about space.

Do you think NASA would help me make one?

Since I can see that people like to make fun of me for trying to do something I feel is right.I would rather develop or co-develop as he situation may warrant a new currency than complain about the issues of the other currencies.I simply felt that none of hte currencies on here were just right so I decided to create or propose a new one.in reponse to your post lumpy,How would you like to be ridiculed by others?I'm not lazy as you wrongfully assume.Most of my life has been nothing but work work work so it's unfair for you to mock me.I genuinley wish to learn to craete a currency.When i proposed this I thought that the forum guys would be more supportive and less critical.You let the other variants go ok,so why single me out?Im sorry if you expect bitcoin to thrive,then please stop being so hostile to your own forum visitors or people will be turned away from bitcoin.

Here are hte 3 challenges to bitcoin as I see them:
1.Too complex/unfriendly for the average user
2.Hostile forum environment puts off prospective users/creators who would otherwise use BTC without any fuss
3.No stability of its value

I have a message to my critics,either contribute something USEFUL to the topic such as teaching me how to create so I can do this myself or go elsewhere.There are many other forums you can go to for being critical of people for no rational reason.

If you truly dislike my idea then why don't you do so in a legitimate debating kind of way and not just bad mouth others for no reason.

I deal with technical stuff with computers and filmmaking,just not programming as it was too much for me to take in a few yrs back,but i feel I can do it now.I thought that this forum would encourage people to be accomodating to new ideas if you truly want bitcoin and derivative currencies to thrive then,not bash them for no reason.As for the poster that says don't create another currency,care to explain why instead of just complaining?

I only plan to create 1 currency as the many derivatives are getting a bit ridiculous I admit but what is so wrong with creating a concept that hurts no one?

From now one,I only wish for people who have actual ideas or construtive suggestions to add to this.If people insist on causing me hassle,I'll ask a moderator to close this thread.

Don't!

This can work if you first explain you are a hot chick and like to party, and you decided to have your own funcoins. Then guys will jump all over to do your homework. Only way it works. True story.

Why only one currency OP?
Create a currency each week!

Should we name this Vaporcoin? ;-)

Dear Friends,

I wish to create a new currency. However, I really know nothing about computer programming or anything technical whatsoever. Could you please do all the hard work for me (how hard could it be?) so that I could profit? I'm really quite busy at the moment and can't be bothered with the trivial details.

Truly,
Clueless

I haven't done anything in regards to that as of yet.I'm still going over my proposal so expect a trickle of info to come at some point next week.I will give the info when I can get around to it.I'm a very busy man atm,got 3 businesses to sort out,filmmaking,mining and investments.

I can understand your point though,as long as theres no info whatsoever,how can any1 be expected to take a new curreny seriously.I mean who would honestly have faith in a currency that has no info about it whatsoever.There will be info coming soon.but until then guys,hang on.

Thankx 4 showing an interest so far to those of you who replied so far despite the scarce info at the moment :-)

I like the part where you detail the changes that you want in your currency.

OK.take it easy.No need to be so hostile to me even though i wish to learn how to create a currency.If people lacking skills that still wish to learn upsets you this much,then plz go elsewhere as that's just life.I normally more of a visionary type guy with films and concepts not a hard core programmer type like you guys,what the hell did ya expect?
