I think we are headed down a slippery slope with ByteCoin.  People are become confused and it will turn them off. 

For starters all the topics should be pushed to the alternate currency topis and not had in the newbie or other Bitcoin topics.  This is [Suspicious link removed].  I would go so far as to suggest a Bytecointalk.org be created.  for now the alt currency is the place for that talk.

So why do I think its a slippery slope, the first time someone is tricked into buying a bytecoin for $100 only to find out they were scammed there will be an uproar.  Mind you they should have educated them self, but people coming to this for the first time will not know the difference and it will confuse them.  They may well turn away thinking it's too complex.

I'm not suggesting it not exist, or that Alt coins are bad.  I think we needed to separate them from Bitcoin so it doesn't pull Bitcoin down while it tries to stand up.

Hm, interesting

I wouldn't worry about it - the market will decide over time what it has confidence in!

The protagonist/s behind this are using a large number of sock-puppets to make it look popular. Some people will be fooled by this. It's a scam, plain and simple.

+1 I noticed this too, and we all have a very good idea of who that protagonist is.

I dont know who it is. Who do you believe it is?

Away on an extended break
Well hopefully the moderator can aggressively move it to Alt-Currency forum.

Well, please report them if you see those outside of the alt coins subforum.

Yes.  Just ignore ByteCoin... it will go away.

And, as a side note, anybody that can't read well enough to distinguish between BitCoin and ByteCoin really should not be using a computer or playing with real money.

If come up with an Idea for a System where you can send Messages and even small Files to other people using this System. I think I call it I-Mail, or Liteletter, haven't decided yet.

Yes will confuse a lot of people, especially if they are not native english speakers. In general the more coins will appear, more confusion will be. Imagine, hundreds of new alt coins launched, maybe sponsored by some corporations or groups etc It's similar to domain names, first we had .com, now ICANN approved a lot of new TLDs for everyone, .ny, .bcn http://newgtlds.icann.org/en/program-status/application-results/strings-1200utc-13jun12-en, ... why not .bitcoin
The difference, .com domain name had time to establish on the market, but the bitcoin... not sure, the chinese could create their own bitcoin, the chinese bitcoin to use in China etc
They can creat a new alt coin stronger than bitcoin, if they have money and power, support from the media, why, because all people that lost the bitcoin boat want a new chance to get rich.
