I'm new to mining and I' just published a site/page that shows all the current coins and their values by your hashrate. It is at http://www.WhereToMine.com ...
I'm interested in getting opinions on it - seeing that I just published it yesterday! I built the page because I couldn't find anything that showed this (well, on a single page).

The SHA hash rate only triggers BTC calculations, the other SHA coins aren't calculating when I hit the button.

Cool site though.

I've updated the page so that SHA-256 hashrates are applied to all SHA coins and scrypt to all others.

thanks!

Yeah, I've only set SHA to be for BTC... scrypt hash rates for the others.
I'll have to see which other's use SHA and have it calculate it accordingly.

Thanks again for taking a look!

Guys just understand there is ALOT of market manipulation in trading with alt-coins... keep your eyes and ears open as the cream rises to the top. It seem at least open source projects at least have some level of trust.

These altcoins are so boring... someone should release something more interesting.

Like a coin that is trying to get to outer space? Or create it's own village?

Well, what makes ALT coins risky is also what makes ALT coins potentially profitable. High risk...high potential gain...or loss. To me, ALT coins are much more exciting than trading BTC or LTC. I can make or lose 10x in 1 day vs what would take weeks or months with BTC.

Competition is a good thing. There's room for multiple successful crypto currencies, and competition will weed out the ones that have flaws.

The problem is most are just clones of BTC that really offer nothing new.

The ones that offer nothing shouldn't gain much traction and will die off. I haven't invested any time or money into the alt-coin currencies, but I don't see them as a threat either. It is possible that some will provide good concepts which can either cause the currency to take off on its own or the benefits could be added to BTC in the future.

I don't see them as a threat either. There are definitely some good concepts out there.

I'm just trying to stop people from wasting time/money on new cryptos. A lot of newbies don't know better and will end up doing it, I just want to help people by giving them a warning.

Well I just love the pump and dump, I increase my profit like 200% that way, don´t care about the alt coins more than that, but is true that one of them may be a boom some time

An independent miner.

Don't get scammed. Seems like it's pretty easy to sniff out a dishonest launch if you do a little homework.
