It had to happen eventually, someone started a "Chesscoin" that has absolutely nothing at all to do with chess.

(insert word here)coin

U are noob and should not chew this beautiful product out. This is a currency developed for folks with brains, it will broaden adoption of brain games across the globe pretty much like btc facilitated adoption of principles and standards of decentralization.

A real "chess coin" would allow gambling (maybe payable to winners of private games on lichess.com) or mining for advancing tablebases or boinc projects or renting out the mining power for opening analysis. But just naming a coin chesscoin doesn't mean anything. I could name a coin baseballcoin but if it has nothing to do with baseball then what the hell is the point?

Plus, 32% is too much. The coin can't hold value if it inflates at that rate.

Nice to see another real chess player in this thread with some common sense. This coin was destined to fail. I agree with most of what you said (not a fan of the gambling idea because of the engine issue) and particularly like your tablebase idea (from an intellectual standpoint although I am uncertain it would work economically).
