Dogecoin is the only altcoin that got my interest of recent times. It seems to have taken off quite a bit in the past few days, and there seems to be a lot of market manipulation with dogecoin though.

mostly scamcoins.....

if you can get in very early, especially before a coin hits exchanges, you can do well. but, it's all so speculative!

Any particular reason no one mentioned Namecoin?

dot-bit.org for the curious. Seems to me that having a censorship free, fully owned domain name has potential.

If anyone happens to be aware of setbacks that i may have missed...please chime in Smiley

You have to decide on which coin to buy if you want.There are pumps and dumps,there are some coins which have dropped in price quite a lot and others going up but they can end up going down as well.So it's not that easy to say which coin will end in that place.

Alt-coins are difficult to trust completely as every once in a while one of them either drops significally in value or a fatal flow or vulnerability is discovered. even the coin network being small and attacked.
People say some good things about qwack and Ftc but I am not sure aboit any of them.

Can someone tell me why the Dogecoin is becoming popular?  There are like tons of them.   Roll Eyes

Because it's silly or fun or something like that. No practical reason , just a coin that is supposed to be a joke.

I'm fairly interested in Litecoin. The market's not currently huge for it, it's safe (for now) against the big heavy ASICs that are dominating the Bitcoin arena, and the return is okay. If Bitcoin starts getting hard stupid with the difficulty, I might try to ease back into mining for Litecoins instead of Bitcoins.
It's a good idea.
BTC is too heavy for daily use, while LTC is a good alternative.
But even altcoin like LTC doing very good in the market, I am still looking for some altcoins that can provide an inspiring & revolutionary system, which I have failed, sounds to me the BTC is the final station to currency revolution.

I'd rather take it as a transfering system than a type of daily used currency.

What do you mean by too heavy  for daily use?
It's as heavy as any coin out there!

Yes,that seems to be the main story for dogecoin-at the moment it's basen on some kind of fun and gaining interest.I don't know where it will land,though.There are other coins which seem promising,too.There's a lot to choose from.

Oh, most definitely. I'd be using Litecoin as "a way to get Bitcoin," not as a currency/means of exchange in and of itself. The problem Litecoin specifically faces (which is true in general for all altcoins) is that Bitcoin has the enviable position of being first in its sphere. Bitcoin is pretty safe in its position -- I don't see much jarring it loose save for a catastrophic failure of the network.

dogecoin is becoming popular because of its ease of generation (a lot more satisfying to make 100 coins than .01 coins), its ridiculous satirical nature (poking fun at cryptocurrency in general) and the fact that it doesn't take itself very seriously with government regulations/long-winded posts about the future of the coin. It's fun, it's fast, and no one really has a whole lot to lose (unlike say bitcoin). Not that there isn't value to other coins, but this is why doge coin is gaining adoption. It's just a lot of fun Tongue.

Hi Everyone,

Another new guy starting up here.  I've recently become interested in BTC over the past few weeks, and in return, I've been pulled further down into the AltCoin rabbit-hole.  

So far, I've acquired an interest in LTC and Datacoins (DTC), but I haven't been very active in the communities.

Here's where that stops, apparently!  I especially like the intrinsic value in their storage and the possibilities that are open to them.

Anyway, I hope I can contribute in a positive way.  Any help needed with basic linux stuff, design, etc., feel free to contact me Smiley

Regards

Well,there are quite a lot of coins that seem can play their role and be valuable.LTC,as it seems,is one of but there are many others as well.However,I suppose ones will turn out to be better of the others but this is something which depends on a lot of factors.
