Hence the naivety

Also, if I use a coin that can't be exchanged for USD, I'll just exchange it for , say, LTC and exchange that for USD.

Not trolling, just being frank

That's not naïve that's the GOAL. It makes ALL coins more valuable, or at least more in demand, since there is a coin that trades for nothing but coins.

you think people are gonna trade a coin that has no dollar value for money on the regular?

Money is a means of trading a unit of work, as such virtually no one is going to use their electric bill to donate to these causes if there is no means to compensate them for this expenditure.

You are so retarded. THE COIN IS TRADABLE FOR OTHER COINS. And BTCs, LTCs, NMCs, etc. Are STILL worth money.

It just makes it where there is a whole group of people working for coins that don't even want money. Which makes sense, there are PLENTY of websites to spend Bitcoins and even BTC cell phone companies.

A project under the name "JokeCoin" is already something I've been fiddling around with and plan to release something relatively soon. The source code is done as of yesterday, and I just need to start a genesis block and make an announcement.

It's rather different from your idea though. But I felt that needed to be mentioned.

What is the idea behind your coin?

Take 10 minutes and read the blog...everything is outlined there and I'd hate to repeat myself unnecessarily...

I just did and it's a bunch of stuff about porn coins, boob coins and quickies.

If you scrolled down or clicked on the post entitled "The Purpose of this Blog", all would have been made clear. TL;DR: Establish a bunch of altcoin chains poking fun at other cryptocoins.

Unfortunately, since life's thrown a few curveballs my way, I haven't had the time to update anything on this project for almost a month Sad

So you make "UnFiatCoin" that can't be exchanged for fiat. Someone starts UFCexchange.com where anyone can deposit dollars and euros and UnFiatCoin. People begin trading dollars for UnFiatCoin. Your plan is foiled.

No it's not. You should learn to read.
I already said, it doesn't matter what people ACTUALLY do with it, it is the mission that matters.

Ah my bad. I'm used to it mattering if the intended goal is achieved. This thread makes a whole lot more sense now.

You are horrible at reading.
Just because A FEW people go off track, does not alter the goal of the coin.
Ex: The Silk Road does not DEFINE BTC users

And people have a hard enough time accepting Bitcoin, you think people are gonna trade a coin that has no dollar value for money on the regular?

Seed Coin:
I am going to have thousands of seeds soon from a few different species of plants.
I want to make a coin that has no dollar value, but has multiple exchange rates listed in seed.

It can be sold. But only for other coins.
And the way you do it is by making threads saying you want to buy Coin Coins in exchange for DVC or BTC, and eventually an exchange that has no "real world" currencies.

So you make "UnFiatCoin" that can't be exchanged for fiat. Someone starts UFCexchange.com where anyone can deposit dollars and euros and UnFiatCoin. People begin trading dollars for UnFiatCoin. Your plan is foiled.

No it's not. You should learn to read.
I already said, it doesn't matter what people ACTUALLY do with it, it is the mission that matters. And with a UnFiat mission, most of the trading will be done p2p, or for other coins on exchanges.

Yep. Do it! We have every other kind of coin imaginable, but they're all limited to this puny craphole planet. Time to take it to the next step and make this one a reality. It needs to be blazin fast, but with fewer coins than BTC. This will ensure maxium value when the entire solar system starts using it in the future, including those water dwellers in Europa. Hell, might as well design some type of client that utilizes a quantum entanglement capable thumb drive to communicate instantly with other clients which would otherwise be unable to communicate in real time to due relativistic communication speed constraints. INSTANT & secure confirmation time, anywhere. Literally. Huge coin improvement. Grin

SLC - FTW!!!!

Problem is, if enough actually mine it, it will either no longer be easy to mine, or generate lots of orphans.

Couldn't you make it where the difficulty remained constant. Like no rounds, just one giant round of mining?

Hence the 'or generate lots of orphans' which is what happens if you hold difficulty too low.

What are orphans in terms of mining?

I'm not sure how you go about making a coin that can't be sold.

It can be sold. But only for other coins.
