So I will be releasing my own cryptocurrency in the next few months.

I'd love to hear everyone's opinions on what characteristics make for a good cryptocurrency.

@lucifargundam Very true.. what does the goal of the crypto have to be in order to encourage you to buy it then? Whats the most appealing goal?

Again, it depends. Novelty crypto is cheap. Something aiming to replace what Bitcoin used to be would mean to do serious implementations and requires a lot of effort to promote/maintain. That would justify spending more depending on regular statistical performance reports. If this is a crypto just for use of the fediverse or in this instance, the value would be less than Bitcoin but somewhat higher than a mere novelty.

@freemo that provides confidence, but not incentive. So far I'm willing to dish out a little bit- test the waters with a toe so-to-speak.

@lucifargundam Indeed, and incentive is exactly what im hoping to add :) I just dont want to say how yet.

@freemo depending on the intent of the currency, I may be more interested- and I would be more confident if I knew how you were going to maintain that intent. As for which kind of 'features' I would look for in a crypto atm, I'd like one where I didn't have to report it or pay taxes. After that, animosity and ease of use(how easy it is to trade,buy,sell,gift,etc.)
