I have a question for you. Can you think of any feature that a blockchain-based coin may introduce that would give it a significant edge over Bitcoin?
What about clones?
Look RuCoin - that`s same like Bitcoin, not any different .
you can mining RuCoin on pool focalway.com
to conversion of the remaining 39 units will count towards complexity reduction - capture the moment!)
you can trade RuCoin - BTC-E.com

I would never killed off Bitcoin. I have way too much fun with it.
Tickle me and I'll laugh.

And to think I invested any of my GPU time in Solidcoin or Ixcoin... All the forks did was draw power away from BTC generation and let the difficulty eventually come down. (Which I am grateful for. )
)
I am new in bitcoin but so far it does look different from other ecurrencies like egold, alertpay....People seem to have accept Bitcoin idea very warmly. Media is making echo of Bitcoin, little by little, but it hapenning. I hope this goes on
I support everyones right to create as many forks as they want, but i'm sticking to bitcoin. And my new invention "Rodeocoin". There is no software, just send me money in the mail and I'll keep track of it in my head.
Yeah, I think I'm sticking with bitcoin as well.

Unless a lot of people/businesses start to accept the new currencies they have little chance to survive. Kind of like ebay the first catches on then others spring up for a short while then fade away from lack of interest so unless they get big acceptance fast they will not last.
Solidcoin is not very solid, it is a waste of your money, and the devs will steal all of your solidcoins.
my two satoshi:
there can only be one facebook and there can only be one bitcoin
Unless people develop a method to abstract away the content from the platform, content is always platform-bound.
The bitcoin system is a platform for wealth exchange. Nothing more, nothing less.
The only reason for these platforms to fail is to lose trust at first AND a competitor having a significant advantage. However, the only way for bitcoin to lose trust is when the security of the transaction log is compromised, either through hacking attacks or through an algorithmic flaw.

they suck. but bitcoin can not die becuase of them.
The functional equivalents of bitcoin would definitely compete with it if any of them become widely adopted. So far, none of them have been able to take much market share away from bitcoin, but it is inevitable that one or more of the alt chains will. Also inevitable though is the increasing use and demand for bitcoin and its competitor cryptocurrencies. Whether demand grows faster than supply to keep prices rising is the million bitcoin question.
However, the purpose of the original bitcoin was not to make fast money, that was just caused by the way it is structured.
right, unfortunate accident.
Fast money == worthless for two years after release?
Not completely worthless. It makes me jealous that anyone had that kind of opportunity; but that's what I get for not paying attention to what's happening on the internet!

All the alternative cryptocurrencies are just an attempt to make some fast money by their creators. They saw that the way bitcoin was made, early adopters could make quite a lot of cash. That was what they are trying to recreate.
However, the purpose of the original bitcoin was not to make fast money, that was just caused by the way it is structured. Original bitcoin has a purpose beside this early-adopter business, the others - don't.

If you're new to cryptocurrencies, Bitcoin is definitely your thing. Once you get the hang of it, and start understanding the network that empowers it, read more about the alternate implementations of the protocol. It
s a great venue to try new stuff like CPU-specific mining, or multi-wallet functionality, stuff that isn't ready for prime-time in Bitcoin.

It wont' be which coin is the "best" technologically, but which one is easiest for vendors to adopt. Look at VHS vs Betamax. VHS was the crappier product, but became more popular.
At least that's my opinion.

VHS initially was able to hold a longer tape. Betamax couldn't even store a feature film. Sometimes one mistake is the death of an era.
prophexy: definitely stay away from solidcoin as it is closed source. I would stay away from investing anything more than few play dollars in bitcoin as well. Little economy supports its weight, therefore it is easily manipulated and is just a stock market game where anyone who invests now takes an exceedingly high risk.
Hmm... okay
. Thank you for the information, I appreciate it. I'm not too knowledgeable about Bitcoin or any of the derivatives, obviously .. Thanks again! Jump to:
