Topic: ~$10 USD worth of alt coin compensation for taking a brief survey. - page 5. (Read 4055 times)

1) Yes
2) Dec. 2013
3) Yes

4) Yes
5) B

6) No
7) Maybe, but probably not.

8 ) I am curious what new concepts get integrated into Cryptocurrencies in the future.
9)  No.
10) Not really interested in that.

1) Yes
2) January 2014
3) Yes

4) No
5) I don't mine. I buy if sounds good.

6) $10 sounds right. It will depend on details.
7) $2 would be alright.

8 ) Difficult to find which altcoin will give good return. There are too many.
9) No
10) Will see how it goes.

1)  Yes
2)  December 2\2013
3)  Yes

4)  I'm holding long term hoping for the best
5)  Definately B

6)  Probably not but not out of the question
7)  Not a question of money

8 )  I'm loving this and hoping if BTC ever hits 10,000$ per coin, this will be a retirement fund
9)   Who knows what the future holds, I'm open to all opprtunities in the crypto world. No point in being closed minded
10)  I already have more than I could ask for in life so it's only uphill from here!  however not looking for a self help group

1) Yes. Plenty of those.
2) Dec. 2012
3) Yes.

4) Yeah, some of them are very profitable.
5) 'B' of course. If the coin is really innovative, the price will increase anyway. Having another coin which you can trust in addition to Bitcoin and Litecoin would be great. Not to mention that you can actually make some analysis based on the quality of the coin to guess if the price will go up, unlike shitcoins which go to the moon only with a good marketing campaign only to be dumped after.

6) Depends on what "entertainment" in this case means. Those are called CryptoCurrencies for a reason. I don't see any way how a currency can be funny. It's fun mostly because it's a gold rush. Therefore if it's not profitable, it's not fun. So, my answer is NO.
7) No. Only if you can create something really innovative. Otherwise, IPOs are out of question.

8 ) IPOs, premines and blatant lies should not be tolerated.
9) A post on the forum leading to great career? I am not a lunatic, no.
10) Looks like you are trying to create a sect of hippies and take money as entrance fee. Do whatever you want, but right now it looks like you are trying to scam people for a few BTC by promising them an eternal happiness in the dreamland full of love and pink ponies.

Dunno what you are smoking, but if it's not a scam, good luck to you in all your endevours.  

Okay, I'll bite.


Yes, a lot of Reddcoin and a small haunch of ixCoin.


December 2013.


Yes.


No. I'm not part of any launch team and I don't mine. Tech-wise, I'm more interested in figuring out, in my way, how the nuts and bolts of the altcoins work. If I get involved in an altcoin, I buy in with BTC.


Honestly? My reflexes are too durn slow for playing the A game with any success and I'm too inflexible as well. I found that out while day-trading many moons ago. Having learned my lesson in this vein, I'd go with "B" if only because I lack the mental nimbleness to play the A game with any real skill.


I'd have to see more details on the project first.


I didn't put "No" to the prior question, but the $10-$20 level is low enough to not make a difference with regard to lowering the minimum.


The alt scene, at this time, has tired out. There's a lot of rancor and the recent alt-coin "bubble" has deflated. It remains to be seen whether it inflates again; I suspect it will.


Yes, I have, but I believe that the real career opportunities will come only to good devs, proven community and ecosystem builders and skilled traders. It's only a matter of time before "I did X for cybercoin Y, which resulted in $Z value added" appears on people's resumes. 


It offers what is essentially a mutual self-help group. As such, it targets the kind of people who buy self-help books. Right now, altcoins are in the "Wild West" phase and that's not the best time to offer a self-help group. Its most valuable prospects, at this time, would be likely to say, "Neat idea, but I'm too busy." That said, it might be ahead of its time...but it'll be subject to the same traps that all self-help groups either fall into or have to dodge around: devolving into a rest-club / hiring-hall type of feel-good mutual admiration society. 

---------

I hope this answers your questions 

1) Yes
2) 11/2013
3) Yes

4) Yes
5) I would spread my hash power to mine all

6) Yes
7) No difference

Someone still has to make the ultimate Altcoin please: Can mine (almost) all algos (MyriadCoin), all algos merged mineable (USC, Peseta...), integrate a game (or more than one) like huntercon, mixed POW / POS.

9) No
10) Sounds like a scam - at least as long as important details are missing.

1)Yes
2) January 2014
3) Yes

4)Used to, not anymore.
5) B

6)Depends.Not easy to convince me at this point.
7) No

8 )Coins need to die faster.Exchanges should remove them faster, be more strict when they add them.Cryptorush is the worst.
9)No
10) Need more details.

1) Yes
2) November 2013
3) Yes

4) No
5) Quality and innovation are more important.
6) Yes. I do support good dev teams and communities.
7)
8 ) too many coins,too many chances,too many dangers.
9) Life is a long road and this is a young field.
10) Looks interesting, not sure it's for me.

1) Yes
2) 1st of januari 2014
3) Yes (0.002 is very small)

4) Sometimes I try, but I try to be an early adopter for coins that are actually worthwile
5) Definately B, Something worthwile in an altcoin also prevents a lot of panick-sells from everyone, which I find to be really beneficial

6) If it offers something more than just an empty promise then yes
7) -

8 ) I believe the current infrastructure for altcoins can not be sustained. In some time (months?) we will need to have some revolution that will help the cryptocurrency along.
    While new coins like DRK or VRT offer something new and are therefore interesting, they don`t seem to add anything to the notion that Bitcoin is. I would like to see an altcoin that would
    be easier and more accessable for the mainstream media/society (yes, more mainstream than bitcoin). This due to the revolution that bitcoin provides not biding with most people and their understanding of the     concept of money. Therefore I`d like to see an altcoin that has some intrinsic association with real world commodities or even with real world 'tokens' that represent it.
9)
10) seems a really vague post with a lot of empty promises, establishment upfront is something I value a great deal. So trying to 'change the internet' in such a way doesnt seem to work.

1) Yes, ~2260 Nextcoins and small amount of Litecoins.
2) November 2013, through a mining community.
3) Yes

1) Yes
2) 2011
3) Yes

4) I supported some new coins, most of them went wrong very fast...
5) B, that's why I'm supporting Ultracoin - UTC at the moment

6) Yes, I would, depending on the project
7) The lower the better...

8 ) There are WAY too many alt coins at the moment, a lot of them died a while ago but are still in all the lists. I'd like a clean sheet for cryptocurrencies...
9) Not really
10)

1) I own mostly alt coins
2) April 2013
3) Yes

4) Yes
5) Whichever makes me more BTC.

6) Only if it looks like making me a big profit.
7) Only motivation is profit.

8 ) Its a natural selection process and is good overall. There are small improvements here and there which adds up.

2) BTC in Nov 2013 and Alts in Dec 2013
3) Yes

4) Have had some luck mining alt coins in early stages and trading them for BTC later when prices go up. No benefit other than this.
5) I will go with "B" the kind which gains value based on "quality"

6) Yes, that would be wonderful
7) Answer is yes, so this question doesn't imply

8 ) Really hate 'copycat' coins unless they offer something that BTC/LTC do not offer. Like faster transactions, anonymity etc.
9) That's definitely possible
10) Too early to comment without concrete info

1)YES
2)November2013
3)YES

4)YES
5)B I like them to have a point of difference to be appealing

6)yes
7)
8 )If you make a new alt coin with a new type of algorithm the program to mine them must be clearly set up and have guides how to use it, It is important to have lots of pools for the new coin so make sure you contact all the current pool owners to get there interests, you must not rush the launch make sure everything is working fine, maintain integrity throughout the updates, running and launch of the coin. try get your coin preregistered on an exchange even if it costs you 1btc but make sure the exchange is trusted and has a good volume. ensure you have a big Dev team, many hands make light work and a good coin. Get involved in a charity event to raise awareness of the coin, ensure a multilingual Dev team that can inform the rest of the world, russian, chinese, spanish are important investors.

9) What comes around goes around
10)

1) Do you currently own any amount of any alt coin?
YES

2) ~What month/year did you obtain your first BTC or Alt?
DECEMBER 2013

3) Do you currently own more than 0.002 BTC?
YES

4) (Optional)
The market appears to be flooded with new "copycat" coins. Do you personally benefit from developing/very early mining of these "dump" coins?
YES

5) (Optional + This question can be answered by anyone regardless of your answer to #4)
If you had a choice between mining 2 coins that "will go to the moon if they ever get on Cryptsy", or 2 that are uniquely suited to change the way alt coins are created (and hopefully have a real, sustainable uptrend instead of "just a dump"), would you choose "A" (Today's current type of coins, or "B" the kind which gains value based on "quality")?
Note: Many people are seemingly addicted to the current system. Please pause and make sure your answer to #5 is honest (based on the info provided)
B. Since i love coins that has a real purpose

6) Would you consider an early investment of ~$10 to $20 in a project where your main motivation was "entertainment, adventure, education, new friends, or being part of a dramatic story" and some chance of getting wealthy (but money wasn't the main reason at first)
Most likely but money is still the top priority

7) If "No" would a much lower price ($2 to $5) make a big difference in your decision?
Probably

8 ) (Optional) Any comments or ideas regarding the current alt coin universe, this survey, or anything related?
Easy way to get more BTC

9) Do you ever consider that a "way above average" answer to #8 might lead to a good career/unexpected opportunity someday? (i.e Sometimes extra effort does get noticed, do you think about that much/ever?)
YES

10) (Optional) Any comments or ideas regarding the info found here? https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/miracle-the-private-site-for-people-with-big-dreams-and-exciting-desires-495622

Another scam IPO in the making
