Slightly different. If you copy and paste something but change something ever so slightly, that's hardly a selling point, is it? That's not innovation. If I put some funny spokes on a wheel, I haven't reinvented it, nor have I necessarily improved on it. Maybe if I copy and paste the Mona Lisa but change the hair colour I've created a masterpiece? Don't be ridiculous; you're clutching at straws here because your coin offers nothing that half of these other crapcoins don't. And I never changed my argument. It is a blatant copy regardless of making minor changes or tweaks and any rational person can see this, but of course fanboys will be blind to this logic.
And I'm not being pessimistic; I'm being realistic. What sources can I link to exactly to prove this coin is crap? It's kind of self-evident. And the 'sources' your provide aren't ways to win this argument or make your case. What exactly did you prove by giving me some links to mega and your profile and the slightly different algorithm? The burden of proof is on you to tell me what's so good or unique about this coin. So far you've given me it has this 'gravity well' (lol) and it has a good community behind it (what everybody says about their coin) and that you can buy dildos and a few other bits of crap with it. You can pretty much buy the same crap with Doge.
And I never said anything about gold. Most people don't expect to use it as a currency, but you can buy a hell of a lot more stuff with gold than you can with Mega though, but that's beside the point.
Megacoin when it was released was based on the latest version of Bitcoin which no other coin devs had until that time done. Not just a copy and paste of Litecoin.
Have you actually looked at the difficulty algorithm Kimoto came up with? It is clever and innovative and served its purpose perfectly of defending Megacoin against multipools - and it shows a very competent dev. So much so in-fact that Anoncoin has adopted the Kimoto difficult algorithm, also the Franko dev is also looking into implementing the KGW. I have also been informed that Memory coin has or is going to also implement it. It is not slightly different from its previous difficulty algorithm and Kimoto did not 'change something ever so slightly'. At least get your facts straight otherwise you simple show your ignorance.
Every coin is in some way a copy of Bitcoin, so your argument is somewhat illogical. I suppose by your logic Litecoin is also doomed to fail.
You are being pessimistic, and down right negative too.
