Topic: A warning about Alt-Coins - page 101. (Read 901725 times)

I've had my bitcoin-qt wallet infiltrated and lost a decent amount of coins this way. Be careful!

So after Newbie confirmation, how many posts do you need to make before you can pm or post other members outside of the newbie section?

The rules under https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/newbie-readme-177133 say...

"You can only post in the Newbie and Local sub-forums till you have made one post and waited 4 hours. This post must be substantial: at least several sentences."

So either you haven't waited 4 hours beyond your first post, or your first post was not "substantial" enough.  I'm in the same boat.  Here to ask about a crash in cudaminer, but am not sure how hard it is going to be to get out of newbie jail.

Agreed. As long as there are sellers willing to accept BTC then they will sell any number of different things for more as an investment or just a payment method.

My second post on this forum. How many posts until I can post in more interesting or non newbie category threads?

Maybe there's something wrong with your configuration but;

Do you seriously think you can solo mine Litecoin with that hashpower and even find a block? Even in a pool it's gonna take days for you (or even more) to receive a single Litecoin.

My guess would be that you're not able to solve a block before it's solved by someone else or a pool. Just a guess though. You could try it with a coin that has a really low difficulty to see if you get a different response.

Hi everybody!

This is my first post on the forum but I have been playing with mining software for some time. My question is about solo mining with litecoin and novacoin using Cgminer. I am constantly getting messages "found new block on pool 0!" but nothing after this - no rejections or acceptances. QT-software also displays no transactions. Can you help me with this? I can't find if they are invalid or orphans :/

Here's a pic of my Cgminer:

I'm just getting into alt coins now.. it seems if anything, they are going to gain speed in the coming months/years

Lots are made by people wanting to make their own bitcoin I think. some of them have different encryption things though.

Why are there so many alternative coins to bitcoin ?

I have been mining Litecoin with my GPU. Have considered messing with Feathercoin and PPcoin.

Then you should buy hotel with BTCs,

If i had a hotel i would not be interested in BTCs

could someone teach me the right way to get paid on this please
I dont know how to get a hold of  lucazane

Hmm, if I have a hotel, I will make the payment through bitcoin's available too! And probably I'll leave a leaflet or a small book containing information about bitcoin inside the rooms as well. And I'll encourage my employees in that hotel to make receiving tips through bitcoin available too, though that would be a very big mess, blah who cares. If only I have a hotel. *sighs*

phew, getting all this info for mining is hard.

hi, i'm pretty new to this as well and i'm really trying to get a foot in on cryptocurrencies.. i don't have much to invest but bitcoins do seem a bit pricey now and i'm not sure how much more it can appreciate, so was wondering how much higher can it go before it seems overvalued. i read some posts predicting it might go up to a 1,000 or 10,000 or smth but that sounds rather high and people gotta start paying in very small decimal points of bitcoins for small stuff which characterises most of the online retail market which seems administratively a bit strange to me, especially if they are be odd numbers and not like rounded thousands or something. (i'm sorry this might be a very trivial point but i do really wonder if such an expensive currency might have its problems..) which brings me to think that the cheaper alt coins might gain more traction and get comparatively more growth in the mass market?

at the moment i've been looking at litecoins and feathercoins. correct me if i'm wrong but they say litecoins should theoretically should be a quarter of bitcoins value, and feathercoins a quarter of litecoins, so the projection for litecoins in the next couple of years should be about 50 and feathercoins about 15 or so? in this case it seems so much more logical to invest in feathercoins since they are worth so little at the moment, the growth would be so much more exponential. also there's that advanced checkpointing thing that makes feathercoin more resillient, but then again the other coins could do the same.

i'm still trying to wrap my head around the technicalities of it all, but at the momentit seems like the support for feathercoin is fairly positive. im thinking it might be a profitable bet.. provided it doesn't go bust for some reason unknown to me..

thoughts please? maybe my thought process is a little too simplistic.. not sure what other factors i should consider. haven't read much yet about the other coins in the market.. are there other comparable coins that have better features, or should i stick to bitcoins and litecoins..? just wanna do some research before i go in on this.. might even borrow some money ha..

It would be strange to see LitecoinGuy supporting another altcoin...

The team was quite good and motivated years ago
I don't know what happened but yeah nothing much happens nowadays

i would stay with Litecoin. Namecoin is a nice idea too but has a poor development-"team".

others are too risky.

Sure looks like it.

to early or to late, me too
