Hmm, looks like a centralized crypto-currency. Probably it is close-source and only the owner can generate the coins, while also running the only exchange.

(Asked by: username_0 on 2011-11-07)

[Rucoin](https://www.rucoin.org/) is a "Russian Bitcoin clone" (see [announcement thread](https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=48582.40)).

Besides the fact the website is in Russian, what other characteristics does this coin have?

Is it just a 1-to-1 Bitcoin clone? Is mining limited to clients from Russia? [This post](https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=48582.msg586451#msg586451) claims that

Does anyone know how they claim this is achieved ... or in other words, how exactly is Rucoin different than Bitcoin?

The "author" (if you can call a blatant 1:1 copy of Bitcoin authoring) has not backed up those claims.

The website provides no further explanation and a lot of vague nonsensical "answers"

So the author claims to implement a central bank and stabilization fund but makes no mention on how that is possible or how it will be implemented. Given that exchange and a direct to cash mining pool were launch prior to the actual block chain my suspicion is this is merely a poorly designed pump and dump.

Since the launch the author has not provided any further information on how the claims will be implemented. Based on the volatility seen at <http://btc-e.com> (largest exchange offering RUC trades) there has been no "currency regulation", "central bank" action or effective use of this so far unseen "stabilization fund".
