It's ironic because first you say CGB is a copy then you say what's to stop other coins from...copying...it. Apparently you should spend more time reading the dictionary yourself.
Yeah, it's still not ironic. It's neither
"the use of words to express something other than and especially the opposite of the literal meaning" nor
"the use of words that mean the opposite of what you really think especially in order to be funny"
Back to the point:
CGB is a copy of another currency and copying that currency serves no purpose and is useless, but if your program on top is useful, then one would want to copy it so it could be used on a useful currency.
Copying the program from one currency to another solves the problem of compatibility.
Copying the code of a currency to make another currency solves no problems.
What, you weren't trying to be funny??? But you had me laughing the whole time...
You have me laughing still as you argue semantics of copying.
I'm building an application protocol on top of the CGB block chain. This is its uniqueness whether you like it or not.
And that it doesn't solve problems you deem relevant is irrelevant to me.
DogeCoin looks very good because they use scrypt, have a lot of coins, fair dev, nice community, no premine.
(SEE WHAT I DID THERE?)
Seriously tho if there are any alts that have a significant own functionality or improvement I would be interested. So far I have not been convinced. I like the idea of Namecoin (not as the next or altenative btc but just as what Namecoin is) - but if not really adapted it seems rather useless. Will follow some more alt. topics to see if someone can convince me.
Look at the sticky for all the altcoins. There is a brief description for each. Unfortunately, 95% of them are changing the block generation speed of another coin and premining.
LOL clearly any alts that weren't around when you got into cryptos are not legitimate. We've seen your kind many times come through here, move along joker.
Why don't you show me why I'm wrong in ANY of coins I discussed? By the way, NMC wasn't around when I first got into Bitcoin, but I think it is legitimate.
Quark - Clone of Bitcoin with 6 different hashing algorithms. Leads fools into believing it is ASIC proof, but really it is just temporarily a botnet-miners friend.
ANC, MEC, BTB, GRC are some good ones.
ANC - Bitcoin already can connect through Tor. Coin Control is a good idea, but it isn't a protocol modification and doesn't require a new currency.
MEC - Probably made by an art student. All that it looks like was changed was the block rewards (doubled) and a flashy website was made for it.
BTB - PPC except "super rare" (in other words the creator has no idea how economics works)
GRC - LTC except centralized. You're better off donating your processing power to BOINC and mining LTC at the same time than supporting this centralized scamcoin.Really? It's centralized? The only thing "centralized" about it is that it has to get its research projects from a third-party source. Unless you can find someone who makes a coin that generates its own scientific research algorithms, good luck at finding a distributed computing research coin that isn't "centralized". No one is controlling the coin, all BOINC does is measure the reward you receive based on your contribution to BOINC.
Good point. What I really should have said is that it *needs to be centralized to actually work, and today it doesn't work. GRC checks your computer to see whether or not you are contributing to BOINC. This can and has been easily spoofed.
*I am not advocating centralization, simply pointing out that the only way GRC can keep miners from lying about contributing to BOINC is through centralization.
