Prohibited changes

2015-08-11T13:35:49Z

Explodicle: /* Require unanimous consent */ wikify Namecoin

These changes are considered to be against the spirit of Bitcoin. Even if ''all'' Bitcoin users decide to adopt any of these changes, the resulting cryptocurrency can no longer be considered "Bitcoin" because it has diverged too much from the original design.

=== Require unanimous consent ===

These changes require the consent of every bitcoin-holder:
* Increasing the total number of issued bitcoins beyond 21 million. Precision may be increased, but proportions must be unchanged.
* Any rule that adds required, explicit centralization. For example, a change requiring that all blocks be signed by some central organization.
* [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Demurrage_(currency) Demurrage] (deletion or reassignment of coins judged to be "lost" or "unused"). This is highly controversial in the context of currency units; on the other hand it is absolutely essential for namespace entries like [[Namecoin]] (which implements Demurrage for namespace entries but not for currency units).

=== Require miner consensus ===
* Changing the bitcoin distribution algorithm such that the subsidy at any given time period is decreased without miner consensus and 3 years notice, or increased beyond improved precision of halving (lossy beginning with block 1,890,000).

=== Disputed ===
* Adding alternatives to [[Proof of Work]] such as [[Proof of Stake]]. This could change core bitcoin too much, but with widespread agreement of some sort might be possible.

Freicoin

2013-04-28T19:25:59Z

Explodicle: edited for NPOV

[http://freico.in Freicoin] is "Bitcoin with [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Demurrage demurrage]".

It is an alt chain with the design goal that holders of the coin will have negative interest rates, as a means to increase the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Velocity_of_money velocity of money] by reducing the incentive to save. Fees are taken for holding coins and distributed to miners.

==FAQ==
===Why would someone choose to hold a Freicoin and incur demurrage, where he can just hold Bitcoin instead?===
Assuming they already have the Freicoin, exchange fees to Bitcoin may be greater than the loss from demurrage.
