"The first decentralized cryptocurrency to be created was bitcoin in 2009."
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CryptocurrencyI took this to mean that Bitcoins is a cryptocurrency. If this information is erroneous, I will certainly amend it. Thanks again.
No, you got it correct the first time. Bitcoin is a cryptocurrency.
And I would even amplify what Franky1 said above - trying to explain anything about mining to newbies is a fools' errand that can only end in confusion and heartbreak.
Thank you for both points.
I agree, and after the feedback I've received so far, I will definitely be addressing the mining issue. When I started the project, mining was more viable than it is now. Thanks again for all the feedback so far guys.
