Even if another blockchain does overtake Bitcoin, SolidCoin won't be the one to do it. To be successful, the challenger would need to make significant protocol-level improvements, and even that might not be enough. CoinHunter hasn't done this. Protocol-wise, all he's done is changed a few constants; nothing more complex than what the creator of Ixcoin did.

Haha, could you post some more FUD? SolidCoin is nothing like Ixcoin, which changed (besides name changes) maybe ~50 lines of code. Ixcoin has now copied some aspects of SolidCoin's changes.

SolidCoin on the other hand has added code to the base to extend the API, fixed about 40-50 bugs, streamlined areas of the UI, implemented a much smarter network algorithm and processes blocks much faster. All within a week. If you're going to try to troll something at least get your information right and attack it justly.

For instance if I was going to attack SolidCoin I would say it's still got a lot of buggy and not so buggy Bitcoin code in it. I'm trying to change that. The difference is I've been writing apps from the ground up and releasing them online for almost 15 years, the people with my experience rarely, if ever, work for free on projects like SolidCoin. You know why? We're out enjoying money and other things in life instead of innovating. I want to innovate with this because I want to be an end user of a viable online currency, not one that is broken like btc.

A diff would help to make your point.

On the other point, that Solidcoin does not bring substantial changes to the world, see the fact that you accused the Bitcoin early adopters of being "elitist" and now you yourself are becoming arrogant against them, which brings you down to the same level of attitude that you seemingly reject. QED.

BTW, you haven't even changed the default port in the FAQ after the new release. Are you perhaps in a rush and you forgot? Buggy FAQ...
