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
