And that is different in pursuing the long term slow play greed of bitcoin how??? It is like being pregnant there is no such thing as a little being better or the a pot meet kettle situation you are describing..

Nice strawman argument, but try again. I did not say x Greedy Impulse is better than y Greedy Impulse.

What I did say is that these copy-cats are making Bitcoin more confusing and more prone to shenanigans. It's obvious what Ixcoin and I0coin are trying to do.
A person does not go into a store and whip out 5 USD, 0.50 EUR, and 0.163 GBP for a pair of $5.99 sunglasses.

"Dang it, you missed out on the ground floor of Bitcoin? Well, get a second chance! Get in on PoopCoin and start off mining 'em twice as fasterer, then trade 'em in for mucho BTCs, baby! WINNING!"

Some people aren't into Bitcoin for any mass profit other than to make a few coins (using hardware they already had) to trade for goods/services online in an anarchic, "Fuck you, PayPal." kind of way.
Others are gamers who already had kick-ass GPUs who just want to put their hardware to use when not killin' and maimin' Nazis.
Some are just into the propellerheadism of it all.

It always cracks me up when someone talks of needing to pay off their 50-GPU rig in x months. Dollar $igns in their eyes.

PEOPLE LIKE MONEY. BIG FUCKIN SURPRISE.
