Topic: A warning about Alt-Coins - page 156. (Read 901727 times)
Ripple is not open source and it's centralised. Don't support them!!!
As soon as nobody is mining a coin anymore, transfers are pretty much impossible, and the coin is basically useless until people start mining it again.
Let the market play it out altcoins are good if they don't have value folks wont trade mine or buy.
Alt coins can become useful, I think, if people start accepting them for services or goods. That's all that is missing.
For some reason I think thare will be only one world currency... an it is bitcoin. At least I hope so. All kid of in-game etc are fine, but I dont think so that there will be many mass adopted crypto currencies. Actually I was interested in LTC etc, but now feeling those might be very wasted time.
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.

I bet thats the kind of thinking many had about Bitcoins in the beginning but look where it is now. I am not bashing you in anyway, I just feel like qualifying your statement. People should really research what their going into because maybe one of the Alt-coins will have a boom like BTC.
Agreed. Many alt-coins out there have great potential and some-not all will hit it off big.

I've been mining Chinacoin (CNC) recently. I don't plan to hold for long. Since BTC-E started supporting it I may move it over to BTC/LTC.
In case anyone actually wants to discus altcoins instead of shutting them down like OP, head over to altcoinforum.com
Alt-coins is where it's at right now.
Hi,
My first post here. One of my friend refer me here to buy new coins and sell them when it will hit exchange. But I don't think it will be a great business but will try with alt coins.

And Ripple will be the most hardcore new crypto currencie !!
Crypto currencies are the future!
I love it !
anyone using yacoin?
Yeah, that's my current focus, supermoose.I like that it is, at least currently, CPU bound.
Has there been any alt-coins with different type of hash/mining methods?
NOT AT ALL
Most Alt coins are completely pointless and just poor replicas of what's already out there with little to no improvement.
AltCoins aren't a waste of time as long as you know they're a pump and dump scam, and you pump, and then dump at the right time.
Best Alt Coin is RIPPLE !
alt coins are not good, they are diluting the their worth, theres more than 1 a week, its hard to keep up
Alt coins are great !
