Solidcoin won't fail. Coinhunter has done really good job setting this game up

. The same people talking crap now will be shooting themselves in the head in 6 months knowing they could have bought at these prices. I think all cryptography will have a place in the future, and anyone thinking there is only room for one is a fucking moron.

Pardon my french...

I agree, the objection to SolidCoin and all the other forks seems to be more of a moral one rather than an intellectual one. It's basically "Satoshi was a genius, what have you done? Why should you make any money?" I agree with most of what CoinHunter has done, except for the lower number of coins. This whole Bitcoins/Solidcoins/whatever scarcity tactic is BS. Once difficulty or prices get too high, somebody will create a fork. I could create more solidcoins today by taking the existing code and creating a new genesis block. They wouldn't technically be SolidCoins, but they would accomplish the same thing and work exactly the same way. So I don't really see what limiting the supply of coins accomplishes, it actually makes it more likely to fail in the long run in my opinion.

My argument was never that SolidCoin is better/worse than Bitcoin.

My argument is that CoinHunter is a lying piece of shit.

If we take CoinHunter at his word, that means out of 10,000 SC users, about 5-10 users control over 50% of the market.

And then he counters this ridiculousness by saying that he's "only interested in a global currency that works" and "helping others in need." SolidCoin might work, but it's 1.) Hardly original and 2.) created by a douchebag who deserves a kick to the larynx.

All I want is for CoinHunter to admit to everyone he made this thing to get rich and that's it. I have no problem with that. Satoshi did it too, and now CoinHunter did it. But don't try to come off as some virtuous motherfucker when we know you're not one in this context.
