This is one of the stupidest things I've ever seen. I can't even begin to explain...

#42Ten confirmations in, my coin still isn't showing up. I guess the site's overwhelmed, but I wouldn't recommend others spend any money until the backlog's cleared.

#43I was thinking about this the other day, that people will start making their own crypto currencies, trying to cash in on a new currency and have it work out like it did for the early adopters of BTC. These currencies will be very volatile, but all of them will become part of a new Forex landscape. If you think there's a lot of speculators now working with bitcoin, wait until people start trying to play arbitrage with…
This has actually been going on for a while. Check out www.cryptsy.com -- I think there are already over 50 crypto currencies being traded there, with more being added regularly. People are making tons of money on the initial pumps and dumps of all of them.
There's a sucker born every minute, but how far can the pyramid go? Is it a snake eating its own tail? Make a bunch, try to leverage that up a level? The losers will eventually be zeroed out.

#44I just created Hackernews Coin. They give you a website link that you need to refresh. Now, I need to wait... It's awesome how the crypto-currency ecosystem becomes harder and harder to kill with hacks like this.
But nobody (outside of maybe China) seems that inclined to hinder it... Trolls love to see the volatility because the fall is so fiery and believers are deluded, so whatever. The trickle of fresh meat for the slaughter is the glory. Watching another anti-statist indoctrinated into a believer only to get flounced - priceless for anyone else who was inb4!

Actually, I'd say that developments like this help to kill the crypto-currency ecosystem.

#46Who runs the nodes for bootstrap? If the server that runs this is US based and they allow trademarks through, you'll get a C&D within a week. Lawyers make their money googling for this stuff. All someone has to do is register "paypal" or "amazon" or "exxon" etc. and the fun will be over shortly. Creator might want to take their name and home address off the domain registration.
Displaying the names of unconfirmed entries is also probably not the best idea: http://coingen.io/status.html
People are so mature

Looks like someone followed the "advice" of ck2, ebaycoin, paypal and amazoncoin are in this page.
As is zoidbergcoin, which is a coin I could get behind.

#49And you can print your own money by writing "This is 100 dollars bill" and sending it to printer multiple times.
The only remaining task is to convince others to use it :)

#50This whole alt-coin thing is just a passing fad. I recently cashed out all my BitCoins and put the money into Beanie Baby Collectables. They're these cool stuffed toys that everybody is collecting these days. I was able to get a bunch of them at a very reasonable price range. Their value is bound to skyrocket in the future as more and more people get into it.
