why it should be something? there are hundreds diferent coins.
Topic: A warning about Alt-Coins - page 24. (Read 901729 times)
I started mining Atom (www.atocoin.com) at is launch. I think it might really be something. Anybody care to chime in?
Don`t you think it`s better to buy coins than to mine coins?
Buying and mining are not mutually exclusive. You can do both if you choose to. If the mining isn't profitable, then just buy.
I bought some Quarkcoin, Feathercoin, and Peercoin a few weeks back. Since then, I've lost money in both FTC and QRK and am dropping them for LTC and some BTC. I plan to hold PPC, as I have good expectations for it.

I think that alt coins are important for people who have slowest machines. Because of them they can participate in this and have some kind of chance whenever new coin enters the scene.
I agree that the majority of these altcoins will be pretty useless for trading and profiting from - much like the majority of the world's fiat currencies are for the same purposes. And that's ok: right now, they're fun. A cheap, easy way to get into the markets and play. For me, it's fun just watching LOT, DOGE, and the other uber-cheap coins bounce around. I'm OK with the fact that I'll never get rich, but I'm also VERY OK with the fact that I'll never go broke from hardware or electrical costs!
Also, the NoodlyAppendageCoin is pretty much my favorite thing on the internet right now and doesn't even have an exchange yet.

+1 for Noodles, all my miners are pointed at it. For science!
Dogecoin has stayed as a profitable coin for mining since its creation with some ups and downs, see coinwarz dot com/cryptocurrency. The new coins are welcome since they introduce new users to the cryptocurrencies world. However, I'm doubtful of thing like cagecoin, Offerings to Ktuluhu or the Nyancat coin since they can have troubles with copyright that can prevent the exchanges from accepting them.

Which coins will rise the most this month?
I need a crystal ball.

What happen to SnowCoin on ispace. Mining the coin was not a problem. Where was the wallet? No wallet that worked could be found on the internet.

What's the word on a multi-currency wallet?
I want to know more about that
Hm, so apparently the reason why I can't post anywhere else is that I have to post here first? Thats a bit annoying, but understandable.
I've been mining fedoracoin and have quite a bit stashed away, been selling some and trading some, hoping that the value goes up. Waiting till my third gpu arrives to return to mining LTC.
Does anyone know which driver/sdk is best for HD5xxx and HD6xxxx series? Currently, my 5850 is putting out 336 KH/s and my 6670 is only doing 80KH/s, though I swear for a while my 6670 was doing 100-114 KH/s. Not sure if it was my drivers or not. Currently the 6670 is sitting on an old server with Server 2008 installed and everytime I try to install 13.1 / 2.5 SDK is BSODs. Thinking about trying 2.8 SDK next.

Hi all!
I've been a long time lurker, but I'm wanting to start being more active in the community. I'm looking forward to getting more involved in some of the more unknown crypto currencies and helping them grow I just recently got my miner set up with 3x R9 280x cards and I'm having a lot of fun. I believe to post in the other sub-forums I have to post here first, so I thought I'd just introduce myself real quick.
Since this is an alt-coin topic - currently I'm slightly interested in Pandacoin, even though it did have a bit of a rough start.
Thanks!

I'm curious, what hash rate are you getting with your 280x cards? I have one of these and have been unable to get it much past 650 khs, but I've heard of people getting them to 800 (which is how fast my 290 goes). I think it may only be possible through overvolting, which makes me nervous. Do you have any particularly powerful cooling for your cards? Are they in a computer case or "open"?
BTW, the alt coin I'm most excited about is Earthcoin.
Cheers
Maybe you guys can shed some light for me. disregarding the power efficiency is the 290x a much better hasher than 280x?

Thanks. Good advice for all.
The NXT coin sounds pretty interesting;
Nxt uses brand new software, it’s not a fork of Bitcoin source code. Nxt improves different features of Bitcoin, removes some disadvantages (e.g. bloated blockchain) and resolves a big environmental issue. I won’t write too many words, let’s jump straight to TL;DR version.
Coins are earned solely by charging transaction fees.
All coins will appear in Nxt via “transferring” them from the Bitcoin blockchain. Not all bitcoins will be transferred hence the total number of coins is unknown yet.
Time between blocks is one minute. This increases the rate of orphaned blocks but makes it more convenient for the users.
Nxt doesn’t use so-called “scripts” aka predicates. This simplifies and accelerates transaction processing. Advanced features like multisig will be created on top of the core as 3rd party services.
Mining is 100% proof-of-stake, Greenpeace will be happy.

There's a thread over at Litecointalk about configure radeon R9 280x cards.. I'm still a newb so can't post any links but head over there and do a search for "Radeon R9 280X performance and setup".
Hope it helps.
