      Right now it’s looking like Angry Bitcoins.

        Namecoin and Mastercoin spring to mind.

        Ah yes, so we have currency, domains, property tokens, messaging … what else and what is next?

          Distributed exchanges, custom currencies that leverage Bitcoin infrastructure, automatic pinning of prices, a replacement for SSL cert providers, smart contracts, anonymization ala zerocoin, voting… the list goes on.

                I think, of all the alt coins popping up, feather coin appealed to me because it seemed accessible (bitcoin doesn’t and litecoin is rapidly sliding out of my possibility), backed by a stable community which seems to care about a stable, but accessible coin. Its why I picked it over other altcoins out there (though I am trying to make sure I can accept payments and trade in a large amount of them).

                I’m also interested in having an accessible medium off the dollar. I like the dollar, but I don’t like being tied to it in the centralized banking system, where I seem to have no privacy whatsoever from corporate and government systems. I know blockchains have their own privacy caveats, but, I’m not trying to hide everything, I just don’t want to have everything about me in some database where anyone with access to nexus lexus or SS, or whatever database can type a few stroke and bring up the sum of my life.
                At least for cryptocurrency, it takes concentrated effort, and right now, at least, it isn’t in (pick a coporation, government database).

                Technical? No…
                But as a noobie simpleton, the reason I came and picked feather coin and lite coin to focus on, and I think others will too.

                And even though the in wallet miner isn’t the best, it was also a huge draw. I can’t get cgminer to work (can’t get openCl.dll installed on my computer) so if I at least want to pretend to mine I can. I can’t do that with litecoin or bitcoin.

                But honestly, I don’t know if these sentiments will do anything for long term stability. It could be a pipedream…

                  I’m going to have to think about that more. A completely distributed Pirate Bay based on a blockchain. Fuck… that’s not bad.

                      A TorrentCoin where artists get rewarded for putting their content up. Nodes verify - filter out bs. Transaction fees as residuals?

                        You’re close.

                        The problem is one of spam. If anyone can add a torrent, it makes it a spam channel. There needs to be a disincentive for posting… like that the coins are destroyed. So you mine for the ability to post, and you post by spending your coins. Kinda like Namecoin.

                        So this means that there’s no way to “transfer coins around” except by transferring the private keys around, but that’s fine.

                        I think this could totally work. I’m going to think about it more.

                          This has now off shot to an important thread, do you want to start a technical discussion?

                          It would be great to brainstorm that. Its a bit of a diversion but I would certainly be intereted to see it kicked off.

                          e.g. what name should it have and set up the github?

                            Hmmm - that’s pretty interesting.

                            I agree on the new thread!

                                  Mining for publishing (on the blockchain) rights. Sounds good.

                                  Off on another tangent … why do we have to have external marketplaces to sell things with crypto?

                                  Why can’t a blockchain exist as a huge marketplace and users shop via the client (using a search of the blockchain for specific items/topics). Load up the client, type in “music”, find a song, send xx BTC/LTC/FTC (whatever it requires) to address, receive song, ebook, movie once transaction is confirmed … all automatically. Why do we need an escrow service? If the money is received and verified in the blockchain then and only then is the file sent to the user and once it’s received and verified by the blockchain we’re all good.

                                  Or am I way off here on the capabilities available?
