How to create new crypto-currency:

- Pick something to base you currency on. Bit-, Name-, and File- are taken, but some might be left.

- First letter, two stripes, here's a logo!

- Publish a whitepaper. You must use LaTeX to typeset it.

- No names or credit anywhere. Stay anonymous.

Joking aside, this looks like something I will try. Have a spare 1TB connected to fast internet, and assume many others have as well.



The Whois lookup of filecoin.io gives the name "Juan Batiz-Benet", so this isn't very anonymous.


nope, it isn't ;)


So why isn't your name on the paper? (not judging, just curious)


Haha! Well, the crypto and game theory took a very long time to get right. (and more of it to come!) Send feedback!
