only one point from a "normal" W7-user:
SC2.0 is an outstanding user friendly software:
downloading, installing, hashing and "earning" (testwise)
Tenebrix is just the opposite:
download, read something about installing...
it's like a construction manual from IKEA - sometimes it works...
erase that software is what a "normal" user does...
Well, Tenebrix was born pretty impulsively out of discussion on IRC.
Having said that, as a windows 7 user to a windows 7 user, which part of the "portable windows bundle" is the most confusing, the mining part ?
Actually that was pretty smart of them, IMHO
We shall see... The company hardly seems reputable or established, and apart from a high margin shopping site and a questionable overpriced way to buy bullion all of their "Killer apps" are "coming soon"... I predict it will fold fairly quickly.
It is still a company and not a quasi-State construct fueled by "pseudo-taxes" and existing in a medium that is quite hostile to State-like structures.
Having said that, I am not personally opposed to the Solidcoin experiment, just not optimistic as to eventual fate of quasi-States made from sheer Internet, arcane mathematications, and a very special form of "leadership driven" outlook (I do tend to pull its leg on occasion, but as you might easily observe, I try to remain civil and fairly lighthearted in these exchanges of opinions
)
Why, 2 bilionteen coinsez (warning - a joke
)
But then again, Tenebrix doesn't expect miners to pay "protection" taxes, which affects budgetary policy a lot
Appropriate joke answer from a joke coin maker. Tenebrix is purely a troll against Solidcoin, and nobody's impressed.
Actually,
I am pretty impressed. And I'm hard to impress. Tenebrix is the first alternative cyptocurrency that I believe has the right mix of innovation, conformity with the safety mechanisms of Bitcoin, and leadership. The future of crypocurrency is bright indeed.
I feel that the Soildcoin developers could get quite close to Tenebrix in version 2, but without that leadership and knowledge, they will inevitably fail.
Excuse me Maged, KGB has seized my hardware sarcasm detector, and software implementation is kinda meh.
Are you being sarcastic ?
