Suppose I create a new coin that I also call Nano. I create a bunch of bots and websites and post on message boards so it looks like my version is more popular and has more participants.

How will people tell the difference?

There are people and organizations attempting to do this with Bitcoin right now. How do people tell the difference? Sometimes they don't and they get scammed.

You won't. This is why Bitcoin is valuable since it has stood the test of time and has gained more acceptability. Nanos and other nonsense coins are just trying to attack the emperor in the hope that they come close to it and thus make the speculators a lot of money.

It's weird how hard you go against literally anything except Bitcoin because of your rabid obsession with whatever paltry sum of money you've made over this one dated technologically is. You're literally like a cancer-ridden coal miner coughing his last lung to keep the mines open. Good riddance.

I missed this at the time, but this sort of personal attack is absolutely not ok on HN and will get you banned for obvious reasons. You've unfortunately been breaking the site guidelines in a bunch of your other comments too.

Would you mind reviewing https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html and taking the intended spirit of the site more to heart? We'd be grateful.
