Hi everyone,
I'm hoping this forum will let me post soon. Not a spammer. Just looking to discuss.
Topic: A warning about Alt-Coins - page 81. (Read 901727 times)
Does anybody have any opinions on Nextcoin??
Let me welcome you at the forum then 
.
On which kind of group mine are you looking for? There are many topics about pools here, some are better than others. If I may give you a hint, try to read the replies to the topics about the pools to check it's trust and uptime, and compare different pools. Good luck!

I've recently picked a few litecoins & peercoins. I've been rather narrow-minded believing in bitcoin only, but after seeing LTC jump 500 % in a few days I caved & bought 3 for fun. I like peercoin, they seem to actually offer something unique with the proof-of-stake idea. Quarkcoin seems to me to be a scam with nearly all of them owned by the developer & his friends. Quick way to make a bundle of money I guess... Buyer beware.
I'm hopeing this constitutes a good initial post for a noob to graduate to the full forum. I'm a bitcoiner since Feb, spend months studying cryptography & I'm fully BTC-obsessed. I've been stalking these forums like a fiend for almost a year. I usually just read, no need to post so why bother making an account but now I'm desperately trying to get in on a group mine. Crossing my fingers that it's still available in 4 hours...

Super, thanks
Is there some place where you can learn how to do mining? I am brand new at this and want to know the RIGHT way to do this. You guys are pros and know the how to's. Thanks 
You should check the "readme" file of the miner you are going to use. Some pools have some brief "how to" sections as well.
Download cgminer for example and read the "readme"
There was a lot of fuss regarding Quarkcoin in the last few days. Now, it's dropping. What do you think? Is that it for QRK? Or will it continue to grow?
Premined scamcoin. Cool idea, bad backing

Hi all,
I am finally getting into crypto-currencies in any depth, though I've know about them since the DigiCash days when I hung out on the old cypherpunks mailing list. I've quickly concluded I've missed the boat on mining bitcoins but may buy one as an novelty investment. I'm going look into mining litecoins and peercoins. What are some other alt-coins that look promising? I've seen mentions of namecoin and primecoin but haven't researched them yet. What are their special strengths?

Thanks for the warning... I will keep to BTC because it's way more stable than Alt-Coins.
Finally , somebody thinking right what to do with his money.
I am mining Alt-Coins as they have the best chance of any returns but am playing safe by converting my coins into BTC at the first opportunity.
Doing the same but keep a small portion as well to invest.
this is my plan exactly, how is this working out compared to pools that mine altcoins and pay out in btc? do you think its worth the extra work and risk?
im a little worried that i will build up a good amount of alt coins and not be able to exchange them for something a little more stable before they flop
it would be good for merchants to use to vet buyers and buyers to vet merchants....the problem being it wouldn't be anonymous...that's where bitcoin or some other currency would come in
thinking about starting a coin that is the complete opposite of bitcoin, identity coin, where you prove your identity every time you pay...it could work in tandem with bitcoin
So for everyone to be able to see every transaction that you 've ever made. Sounds like a nice idea.

Colossal seems really underwhelming. Went nowhere even after the pump yesterday....
fragility of data as opposed to bars of metal, mean that BitCoin has significant problems gold does not.
And how about the 100 times more significant advantages over gold?

There is a lot of activism about quark indeed but i haven't heard anyone stressing any interesting points about that alt. So i guess it's only hype and noise after all.
Hello. Great to be on the forums.
If I am not mistaken, Quark is one of the most secure cryptocoins out there. Also... name. SarTrek ftw
I will definitely investigate this further.
That's exactly what i mean by saying hype and noise. Quark secure... blah blah... Trekkies... blah blah quark quark...
PS. Star trek is cool but it takes a little bit more than a con for an alt to establish per se.
