devcoin is suxx

Only if "Is Suxx" means "Is AWESOME" Smiley

Devcoins have been getting a lot of attention over the last month, and this next month is going to be even crazier.
Right now you can get like 20 DVC for .01 USD (1 cent) and they have been worth $10.00 USD EACH before. And with the recent rise in attention, they are definitely going to start rising in value over the next 2-3 months. I think they will probably even get to 1 penny each in that time.

1. There are now Devcoin portals and multiple block explorers

2. There are now Forums with Devcoin sections

3. There is now a Devcoin video on YouTube and more on the way
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G6AWKEEEN-Y

4. Devtome.com is getting tons of new writers and writing

5. The Devcoin thread on Bitcointalk.org has just about doubled in a month
https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/devcoin-34586

6. An Official Devcoin Logo is being made

7. A Devcoin advertising program is being made, like adsense but devcoins

8. And more that we can talk about as the thread goes on.
https://twitter.com/Devcoins, https://plus.google.com/107638997892350626209/posts, http://bitcoinviews.com/tag/devcoin/,  http://www.thecryptocurrencies.com/2013/04/devcoin.html, http://www.hipforums.com/newforums/showthread.php?t=470870&f=38

So it's a good time to invest Smiley
Also, a second Coin Exchange website has adopted Devcoin, so now there are two:
https://vircurex.com/
https://mcxnow.com/

Almost all of the alt-coins are there are going to be a waste of time.  They're being created to take advantage of people who get super excited about different things and then get pumped and dumped.

Be careful about wasting time with too many alt coins.

Agree, but it is more satisfying to be able to mine whole coins for newcomers, who often don't have much of a setup or GPU. I love the alt coins. They're fun (even if just for now).

It's the fun factor first and money second  Smiley

Bitcoin is a protocol, and, like the internet, email, and other dominant protocols, it will be the protocol that wins over its competitors due to, 1) the first-mover advantage, 2) the network effect, and 3) the self-interest of participants to fix any problems and make any worthwhile additions (like how the internet has evolved to include the larger address space of IPv6 or email has evolved to include file attachments)...

Hi everyone! Can abybody tell me how to see the current difficulty of alt-coin through the client or any other way?

Someone linked this site, it has an overview of all alt coins including difficulty: coinchoose com

I know about this site, but 1. It includes NOT all alt-coins, 2. Sometimes there occure mistakes and the site shows wrong difficulty (as it happened to WDC some hours ago).

Not sure anyone will ever see this, but I'm not yet able to post in any real forums. My question is, how difficult is it to set the bitcoin mining program to mine an alt chain? I would like to start my own chain as a local currency to exchange amongst friends and neighbors in my community.

A turn key solution may be to do testnet in a box: http://sourceforge.net/projects/bitcoin/files/Bitcoin/testnet-in-a-box/ and https://github.com/freewil/bitcoin-testnet-box

Probably not good to use 'em long term, but should help you get an idea of what may be involved. For your own local currency, you probably don't want the difficulty pegged at one.

Is WDC (worldcoin) worth spending time on? Seems to be very profitable and has had a lot of response so far.
