Lispcoin

What's Lispcoin? A cryptographically-secure monetary system written in ANSI Common Lisp.
Features:
*Written in 100% pure ANSI Common Lisp.
*Promotes innovation by giving bonuses to users of Free software and non-x86 hardware.
*Reward doesn't shrink so early adopters can't become millionaires for doing nothing.
*GPU-proof, ASIC-proof, quantum-proof algorithm to keep calculations secure into the future.
If it ain't Lispcoin, it's crap!

Hygiene is a good thing though. In lisp, all macros generate code that could otherwise be written by hand. With scheme it is possible to get other sorts of bindings not possible with hand written code. Although you can do just as well with lisp using packages to refer to your ``hidden'' symbols. But I am on the fence. I would like to see a less complicated scheme-like macro system that both gives hygiene and allows arbitrary scheme code generating code, but maybe it's there and I just need to learn more about it.
