Topic: What to do with all these alt blockchains (Read 803 times)

this is the interesting part:

tl;dr

Being nostalgic for the old internet is odd. It sorta sucked compared to today. All the old stuff is still around as well as a ton of new things. Sure, things like geocities is gone, usenet aint used so much, etc... But it has been replaced by 1000 more things.

One can be as private as they like online as they wish to learn how to do. One can still be cool and unique with certain skills.

So all these alt coins... If they are to survive they have to be useful. So far we have voted with a yawn. Bitcoin is the top dog for now.

I'm posting this from my phone. So I apologize this isn't well written. But these are some thoughts I've been cooking and I wish to vent them. So cutting to the skinny.. I'm not following any of these new coins. I just don't see the need to improve what already seems to work. However I do see something in them of value that perhaps others are seeing. yet fail to say jack shit as far as opinions are concerned.

I'd like to turn the attention over to Namecoin for a second. here we have an alt coin that's holding water. though It's a shallow end of the bog picture it has a goal. A huge reason to still be worth something but at the same time not popular enough to be used in the trade of goods.

Domains are something that I'm going to assume over the next few years will go one of two ways. ether the price to own will be jacked up or they will be a dime a dozen. ether way It's going to be a nightmare. Furthermore It's only a matter of time before the wild west internet is tamed by governing powers that be. I believe the last best hope will be the darknet.

more people will access this portion of the internet to keep what they know intact. So far it seems social media has won in createing the internet ID system. countless websites ask for a Facebook ID to register. But not everyone including.myself wants to do this.

I like my internet to be semi private. If I choose to throw data concerning.my life, family, work, hobbies, religious belief etc I'll do it. otherwise I'm "Darktongue" and I am a human being I wish to learn abd at times.purchase shit. that's all anyone really needs to know.

with this in mind the human side of me wishes to be unique. if a build a website or start a venture I don't always want the same plain Jane .com tld as the next guy. so if by some chance shit hits the fan and I end up spending more time cruiseing the darknet. I still damn well desire to he unique on that son of a bitch as well.

So why not blossom some of these extra coin blockchains into alternative domains like NMC. build an exchange for them and begin working on something with a little more of a reasonable way of keeping someone's pet project alive?

Thing is PPC isn't going to knock off litecoin and hey I can surely say it isn't going to even knock off NMC. It could however be a running mate with it. Why can't DEVcoin include functions for "Website.dev? Then those domains be used to fule the image of the software and coders the coin is suppose to support?

I guess perhaps I'm jaded by this concept. I'm jaded by the internet of old that was so much what this community stands for. Freedom... true and tested proven freedom.
