Some imagination _is_ required, at least in selecting the names. hdclover, you can start with Monopoly money tho'.

The whole world is going towards asking "which degree you hold?" instead of "do you have a degree?".
That does not make a degree less useful, it only increases the number of options available.

What makes a currency better than the others is in the end its purchasing power not the extinction vortex being modeled for it.

What we need are opensource services like

exchanges
casinos
shopping carts
etc.

that can be plug and play with any new currency

I think its good to have multiple altcoins. By implementing those at least there is an increasing amount of users who understand the network internals and promote an algorithm versus the others.

For novice users it's hard to choose, but its the same everywhere else selecting the brands of juice you wanna drink, chips you wanna eat and so on.

Diversity helps!
then we should create USDollar v2.0 , unclesamDollar. etc

There are SO MANY altcoins being created right now, it's amazing. It's almost as if we need a website to create a new coin!
Seriously though, there isn't really much point in making Litecoin forks just to get the happy warm and fuzzy of seeing 50 WhateverCoins in your wallet. Go to skude.se/BTC, the Coin Love Chest or some other free bitcoin site and maybe you'll actually earn something instead of getting worthless amounts of your new altcoin. And if that doesn't please you? Change the bitcoin source code to show BTC in mBTC and change "BTC" to "Whiskcoin" or whatever. Now you can get that warm 'n' fuzzy and still have something of value, without tiring out your poor processor. Smiley

(Side note: If you haven't already, post your bitcoin address in your signature, maybe you'll get something from a kind forum member!)
