Hi there! I'm completely new to all forms of altcoins and bitcoin as well. I am mostly interested in Bitcoin for reliability, and dogecoin for fun. What can you guys tell me about them?

I just got into mining altcoins recently as well.  Mostly scrypt based coins, since there aren't crazy powerful consumer rigs yet.
I've been mining bitcoin for a year or so and it's fun, but I've found that I really enjoy mining all the different altcoins and trading them.  Maybe its the pog trader in me?

What do you guys think about datacoin.. do you think its price will reach the price of XPM.

I love the innovation behind datacoin and xpm, which can't be said for the majority of alt-coins. You should trade for DTC on bter.com while it's still an infant  Grin



The only problem with BTER.com is it's hit and miss.  I tried an arbitrage play by buying cheaper coins from another exchange and then sending them to  BTER.  The problem is the coin was never credited to my wallet.  I looked up the coin in the block explorer and saw that they went to my wallet in BTER.com, just never credited.  So I emailed them a couple of times, and there was no reply.

That's not the customer service experience I was expecting.

It really is dumb how many alt coins are out on the market now. I totally agree.

Some are good and for sure here to stay. I am a fan of the ones that offer innovative features and are not just "cut and paste" coins.

Coins I like:
LTC (because it has a great developer network and community)
PPC (innovative technology... sunny is a great developer)
XPM (because of implications towards scientific research)
NXT (super beta coin right now but IMHO has HUGE potential so I invested a small amount (.35 btc) into it. Never invest more than you can afford to loose)
DTC (I like the idea of being able to store data on the block chain)
NMC (domain name idea is cool too)


However, as you can see this is just too many coins. NXT combines everything into one which is great but who knows if it will take off.

The only ones that are "needed" IMHO are BTC and LTC. LTC because I think a second block chain is needed for added strength and LTC has great support / community already.

I love what NXT brings to the table of cryptos.. but the wallet system seems to be vulnerable and cumbersome.

I got a strange love for adt. I dont now why but i am carrying a quite big bunch of them and now when mullick is back and lookin in how to fix it permanently, I would advise ppl to buy in at least with a litte bit of your holdings (with a high risk thinkin of course).
I think it will sure pass tix (wich i really dont like) and become a hunter of ifc! Smiley

hi, is the only way to speculate to collect loads of coins and hope one pays out eventually. bit bewildered by the sheer amount of types of coins. I found selling mined coins on eBay can beat exchange rates

Nice list, though NXT cannot be mined, so one can just buy it and miss then fun :-) ?

The only ones that are "needed" IMHO are BTC and LTC. 

In the same sense that the only social networking sites that were "needed" were Friendster and Myspace.  Or the only web browsers that were "needed" were Mosaic and Internet Explorer. 

I think that it won't be long before BTC and LTC will be regarded as the first-generation crypto-currencies that blazed the trail, but the technology will move past them.  Proof-of-work designs in general may go out of fashion.

It's seems to me many people do not see the possible changes that may happen. For example, instead of looking at BTC, LTC, XPM as alternatives to USD, EUR, Swiss Franc, etc, see it as alternatives to nickles, pennies, cents and Dollar. BTC to buy a house, LTC to buy a coffee. Crypto currencies are not going to change finance, business, purchase methods. It will revolutionize it into something we have never seen. Just how FB took social networking to another level. I agree on BTC and other PoW designs will witter with time, they where just first.
