US Senate Hearing on Virtual Currencies

I’ve been mining Xbox points with Bing searches for years. ;)
Now it pays straight cash homie! But only for use with Microsoft sites/offers.
Yeah Kevlar, I just sent the same type message as yours above to my friends. I’m looking forward to Matthew G.'s updates. Nothing’s changed from this Summer; whoever implements zc will dominate as the peoples coin. These hearings, the regulation … all of it was expected and zc appears to have been solved in the nick o time.

[/quote]Watch out Tuck, you’ve clearly got a chip on your shoulder. Claiming that an untraceable version of Bitcoin will have additional utility over a version which can be tracked using trivial forensic analysis? That’s outlandish. You must be a troll.

I’m trying to achieve “[i]zerodrama level[/i]” to avoid all such responses … .I’m not there yet … but I have managed a 30% reduction compared to your results (results are INEC certified).
I try to be more vague, allowing the reader time to think for themselves, while you choose to pull the tree out of their eye then point the forest out to them, the leaves on the ground, dead animals and any resulting stench. ;D
I’ll go ahead and poke the elephant in the room though …
[list type=decimal]
[*]Zerocoin protocol is essential (even more so today) and the coin that implements it first will dominate a large market.
[*]Bushstar cannot implement zerocoin protocol on his own (my assumption).
[*]This leaves zerodrama. zerodrama, are you able to implement the new zerocoin version into Feathercoin and if so, in what time frame?
[*]If the zerocoin protocol is being added to an altcoin by the zerocoin developer team in a matter of weeks (6-10?), would crypto users use another coin that implemented zc? Probably, but definitely diminished returns.
[*]The hype surrounding such a coin will be huge as it comes to market and it WILL be backed by big players in crypto. Who will survive and why?
[*]There is a huge advantage to mining the instant the coin goes live, this will hurt all altcoins. Who will survive and why?
[*]Is Community enough? I don’t think so. All altcoins will lose a lot of their participants.[*]Any coin planning on surviving outside Bitcoin, Litecoin, TBDcoinw/zerocoinprotocol … better get a good plan going now.
[*]This was expected. What was unexpected (by me) was for Matthew and the others to decide to create a new coin. This changes things.
[*]I’m sorry if my opinions/interpretations do not agree with anyone elses. By all means, express yours but don’t attack mine. Thanks!

Surprisingly I’ve been reading some backlash about zerocoin protocol (didn’t expect that). There are a lot that have no interest in it at all and call it laundrycoin and such. Others have issues with it being script, with it not being part of bitcoin or with it’s core principles altogether.
I disagree with all of those thoughts, but it was more opposition than I expected to see. It’s interesting. We’ll see what happens in December-January.
