Within the local currencies trend, the critique is usually more focused on interest.
Is there anyone else on this forum besides you that criticizes interest?
I criticize both and that's why I propose freicoin and support ripple (although you can have interest with ripple I think the rate would tend to zero).
I'm a software engineer (well, I don't have the paper that says so yet, I have to finish the final project, but I'm already working as programmer) and I could develop freicoin if I study the bitcoin code. It's a simple change for someone who already knows the code.
How will you convince people to switch from currency that hold value, to currency that is guaranteed to slowly lose it, at the stage where the currency is worth almost $0 to begin with? Bitcoin's sales pitch was that it's $0 now, but put your money into it because it'll be $100's later. What's your sales pitch?
