Ripple is a scam.. Not open source = bad mkay
What do you guys think of XRP, the reserve currency of ripple (payment system that supports cross-currency transaction support). Ripple seems like it might get somewhere..
Bitbar might actually be worth more then a bitcoin someday...
The .bit domain system
Interesting, so it offers a peer to peer distributed DNS registration system?
yep, and it allows easy attachment of information in every transaction, a feature that could add an extra degree of mainstream usability to namecoins in a merchant atmosphere by allowing easy confirmation of payment, and stripping anonymity of payment when desired by both transacting parties.
NMC looks pretty fascinating actually!
Do you think it will be only bitcoin?
nope, there will be several currencies, but all of them will be easily interchangeable

Anyone know aything about minerd --debug showing all (false positive) on Hash > Target

When will there be a new type of coin? instead of SHA256 or scrypt?
When someone creates it, though why do we need another type?

I believe that's the best place to read about it.

I'm getting the distinct feeling that Feathercoin is a waste of time as far as alt-coins go. Anyone have any sort of opinions on that?
Agreed.
The only other coins (besides bitcoin, which wins by virtue of being older, proven, and noteworthy) worth the time IMHO are Litecoins, Namecoins, and Devcoins which each bring something special to the table. I see most other cryptos as cheap spinoffs doomed to fail.
I'm just honestly wondering, what does Namecoin offer? I have some from merged mining, but I don't know what makes them special.

the only coins that are worthwhile long-term so far (imo) are bitcoins, litecoins, and namecoins. there's way too many altcoins now. it's getting pretty ridiculous with these jokecoins like bbqcoin and yac (yet another coin). people nowadays just see new coins as an opportunity to make a quick buck. i don't think anyone actually "believed" in chinacoins. hopefully we'll see some new coins in the future with actual merit.

I actually feel that several of the other alt coins out there may have more potential than bitcoin even. Litecoin for example is almost identical to bitcoin fundamentally, but can be transacted in 2.5 min to bitcoin's 10. I also personally feel that alt coins with higher market caps may fare better in the long run, as they will run into fewer psychological barriers associated with high unit price.
That's not to say that the market isn't oversaturated with cryptocurrencies. We need to see several of them fail.

Exactly this. If we only rely on Bitcoin and that fails, all crypto-currency as we know it will fade.
