lol somebody down voted me. i guess i’m not allowed to publicly laugh at a joke? or maybe some just really hates anything about blockchain? seems like they should also be laughing at how this makes fun of it

The project is literally called ShiitCoin, with two i's.

A fantastic new way to waste electricity? I wasn’t aware we needed that.

That was a good chuckle. I immediately shared with friends. Thank you for this moment of happiness.

Just curious why using a user’s own sheet wasn’t useful for managing the private key versus the secondary website.

Very neat. IIUC, each user gets some private cells, and "Daddy Google" does the sync.

Off topic:

How hard is it to just clone ETH, change the master key, (do we even need to re-compile?) and have new blockchain?

Surely there is a SaaS for that

having a fresh blockchain is easy, getting anyone else to care is the hard part

> Similarly, coinbase reward is fixed at constant 500 ShiitCoin per block mined, and doesn't adjust over time

It doesn't really need to adjust over time. It doesn't need to be capped [1].

One blockchain has 1 minute block interval with a fixed 60 coin reward which translates to one coin per second forever.
