Someone can explain this?

"Cryptcoin

In the preceding sections I have explained the key ideas underlying Bitcoin. The actual implementation employs some additional ideas to improve the practicality and scalability of the system. For example, the full transaction details associated with a Bitcoin block can be quite large, and for reasons of scalability it is desirable not to have to send around these details each time a particular block is mentioned. For demonstration purposes though, details like this can be safely ignored without changing the essentials of the system, and this is what I have done in designing a simplified version of Bitcoin which I am calling "Cryptcoin". In designing Cryptcoin, I made use of information on the Bitcoin protocol that is that is available at the Bitcoin Wiki, including the protocol specification and protocol rules pages. Since Cryptcoin is a simplified version of Bitcoin (and different from it), although these detailed descriptions of Bitcoin available online might be helpful to some extent, they should not be expected to match exactly what is done in Cryptcoin. Of course, it goes without saying that Bitcoin source code will also not be of much use in the Cryptcoin system.

Like Bitcoin, the Cryptcoin system is a peer-to-peer network of nodes that exchange information by sending various kinds messages. In general, there are only a few rules in Cryptcoin about what messages should be sent at what time, so there is a fair amount that is left to the discretion of the implementor. There are two basic types of Cryptcoin nodes: servers, which can accept incoming connections from other nodes and are full participants in the propagation of blocks and transactions through the system, and clients, which can connect to servers but do not themselves accept incoming connections and do not further propagate blocks and transactions they receive. In Cryptcoin, miners will be server nodes, though there can also be servers that do not engage in the creation of blocks. End-user applications, such as a "wallet" that keeps track of Cryptcoin funds belonging to a particular person and allows that person to send and receive funds, might well be implemented as client nodes. Another example of a client node, which you will probably find helpful in developing an understanding of the Cryptcoin system, is a Cryptcoin Explorer client that I have written. This client serves a purpose similar to that of the Bitcoin Block Explorer or Blockchain.info websites.

Node Function

When a Cryptcoin node is started, it attempts to initiate a connection to one or more "well-known" servers whose addresses are found in a pre-programmed list. Once a connection has been made between two nodes, they begin to exchange messages. An initial "connect/acknowledge" handshake is used to exchange information about the software version of each of the nodes. After that, each node regularly "pings" the other, in order to be able to detect when a peer has become unresponsive and to close the connection to it. Another type of message is used to propagate the addresses of server nodes through the system. When a node hears about a server, it typically will retain its address for some time, so that it will be available in case one or more of its existing connections are lost and new connections need to be made. Finally, the main work of Cryptcoin is accomplished by exchanging messages that serve to propagate information about blocks and transactions.[...]"

So, MindFox its not Mindfox? Huh

This teacher speaks greek : http://www.yellowpagesgoesgreen.org/whitepages/details/ny/EUGENE_W_STARK/12622235

Just so that it's clear, that is not MindFox. It's interesting that the name Cryptcoin was used, however that kids implementation of a simplified bitcoin has nothing to do with the "Cryptcoin" of this thread.

I know it's pretty obvious, but I just wanted to be clear about it.

Maybe you Jesse?, it seems much of a coincidence, this gets put up and next thing KEYCoin is dumped, maybe people get scared ,
I have cryptsy chat open 24/7 and I watch CHARTS and read never speak and saw something interesting I not know if this related but I happened to see a couple of guys talking about the KEYCOIN dump how it will be good with Crypt and then one guy goes and speaks privately with HORUS skype. even I know this coin ninja launched on cryptsy. me think this is related someway I no trade on cryptsy for long time because they suspicious but i watch patiently and no trust them. they get paid to list and they hold coin when it high so no one can trade, I see uro, rdd and other coin held so they can sell but not traders. I think KEY was the same. if you believe me or not i dont care I just want to say.
