To be clear, I am in favor of other people making other systems, just not calling them firstbits. Anything calling itself firstbits should use our exact algorithm and opening the code will help people do that.
thank you freemoney for keeping with the basic algorithm. i know a lot of people here are all about "marketsmarketsmarkets", but this really is a technical matter, not an economic one.
i also, personally, think that if firstbits.com integrated this, it would dig its own grave. not that you make any money out of it, afaik.
