Topic: bitcoins successor - page 4. (Read 4695 times)

dodgecoin? thats new to me? Crash free cryptocurrency?

As I stated before, micro transactions are a huge market.
Why should banking let this go?
The are going to revamp the way transactions are made,
and make it standard. Officially.
The Bitblockchain is hosted by private persons for free, and its exceeding 60GB already.
All for FREE. Thats not part of the future.

You can say the same thing about Litecoin or any other coin...

Doge has faster transaction times and it's very popular espacially among youngsters... something to consider.

That's cool.  Everybody has their coin that they personally like, but I just don't see anything that makes Doge any better than other copy and paste type of altcoins.  They just increased the number of coins, that has the same functionality of Bitcoin.  And also, I don't know what you were trying to show me with that link, it didn't really have much info, besides selling it, faucets, etc.  ...

Yup no need of successor and all. It has its own specialty like transparent, Digitalization, User friendly, and many more. I don't know whether it need successor But bitcoin is successful thing among us, that's why we people are crazy about it.
In future there is a chance to rule the all fiat money by bitcoin.

Dogecoin is very popular and I'm a big supporter, if you ask me I'd say it's the second most important coin after BTC  http://coinok.pw

Litecoin was and still is a legitimate alternative that has an active user base and has somewhat a different functionality than bitcoin (with somewhat faster confirmations times)... but Doge will never be a legitimate alternative.  It was just a fad that had it's "heyday" in 2014 when the doge "meme" was popular, and garnered a lot of attention from people who just like the meme...  It doesn't have any different functional purpose compared to Bitcoin, it just has millions and millions of more coins... that's the only real difference between the two.

to be honest none. I think there will be some popular alternatives remaining like Litecoin and Dogecoin but no suitable successor.

It's hard to say really. I never really tried to understand much about Ethereum, because it doesn't really sound like it's a "currency", rather, it's sort of a "database" system prototype.  I'm pretty sure Microsoft bought out Ethereum as a testing ground for their Azure platform.  So, in a way, I'm just not that interested in Ethereum.

I don't want to sound like some kind of shill for an altcoin on here, because I hate when people use FUD to encourage people to buy some of their coin.  But, I personally think the new coin on the block that holds a legitimate value compared to bitcoin would be Monero (XMR).  They are sort of a fork off of DASH, in which they both use the "cryptonote" code.  If you don't know much about the cryptonote system, it's basically a way to anonymize transactions on the blockchain through "ring signatures".  Monero is different because of a group of active devs working together on the codebase... whereas DASH has become sort of stagnant with active development.  

DASH is also pretty well known for being insta/ninjamined at the beginning, so that the very early adopters have an incredible amount of coins under their belt... Monero was a fairly launched coin, which makes it more appealing to other people who weren't the very first people to hear about it.  

If you want to read more about cryptonotes... here's the white paper:
https://cryptonote.org/whitepaper.pdf

Also, here's what's being worked on Monero as of right now; which is Ring CT (way of anonymizing the actual amounts on the block chain) this is being worked on by Shen-Noether... someone in the monero research lab:

Again, I really don't care if you guys get into it... I just really like it to help remain anonymous in my transactions, and not have everything publicly available on the blockchain.  A cool tool I use, primarily for buying stuff in BTC, is using my XMR (monero) and using https://xmr.to/  to pay any vendor who accepts bitcoins, and pay with xmr to help remain anonymous.  It just converts how much XMR is worth at the current moment of purchase (in BTC) and pays the vendor in BTC.

Edit: I will have to say though, that it does propose fixes for a couple of the problems that Bitcoin is facing right now... 1) XMR has adaptive blocksizes to adjust accordingly to amount of transactions being done 2) Tail emission features, where the total amount of XMR is added on to in the future to incentivize mining in the future (should be 18 Million coins, and then keeps adding coins as need... where it will get closer and closer to 21 Million over time, but keeps decreasing rewards so it never really gets there).

There should not be a bitcoin successor.  Other than minor changes to the blockchain, nothing can be improved upon from the view point of the consumer. Satoshi planned all of bitcoin's  features ahead of time, and it is his design that made bitcoin a success. If there is a successor to bitcoin, it would be something issued by governments, as where each country would have their own digital currency.  The latter is probably a bad idea, therefore bitcoin should be around for a long time to come, at least in the western world, where if it came down to it, courts would enforce its existence.

Solidcoin all the way

Its nothing we've seen yet and i would guess there wont be a successor since everything can be built on top of bitcoin or in conjunction with.  We will probably have centralized competition from banks.

some coins look really serious and have good idea to make their crypto really have many users and become a popular currency,such as Neucoin,NXT,XMR,and many other.

A lot of complacency in some posts... Bitcoin is well ahead of the pack due to its first mover advantage but with all this fighting going on things could change quite quickly.

Right now ethercoin is the challenger.

If bitcoin SOMEHOW dead / unused (which is weird) I'll go to use litecoin or doge.

Nothing even after the Ethereum hype to which they say its revolutionary that they almost say its better than bitcoin?
I guess no one yet had been persuade to move there just for the sake of profit when they pump up.

So far, nothing comes close to bitcoin. Bitcoin is the king, and only king.

Bitcoin needs various competitors, Then only it would grow high than other cryptcurrencies
in the market which has been developed based on the bitcoin technology

any coin that you see in the coinmarketcap is not a worth successor, ever they are clone, nothing more, they do not offer anything that can not be easily implemented in core

they are a good test tool, like you test the next upgrade of core before releasing it, treat them as RC for future core upgrades

so no, i believe that the next successor is an evolution of bitcoin, or a completely new thing that use not a blockchain but something else that you can not even imagine right now, like you were not able to imagine the blockchain in 2007....

1.Bitcoin is not dying roughly 10 years from now,too early to ask this question
2.The successor of bitcoin will only be bitcoin but regulated maybe.
3.If again I had to choose another altcoin I'd go for dodgecoin.

bitcoin do not need any successor. bitcoin is live and will be live long.
