Haha, I'm definitely not the creator, just installed the client.
There are so many alt currencies I just wanted to get some dialog on the other options and get some perspective on whether I'm investing my time the right place...
Ok, altcoin section is used for discussion about all alternative coins
Newbies don't have access to that forum, so this section serves as a general section for them.
Exactly.
I guessed the newbie forum should be able to handle all sorts of discussions since it's the only place new people are allowed to post. ;-)
I started mining some LTC for the fun of it, but as with bitcoin the recent peak probably makes it a bad time to invest.
I also found Curecoin, Gridcoin and Primecoin interesting because of their whole approach to utilise the computer power for goodness.
With Primecoin I just didn't find it convincing enough. E.g. what is the usefulness in discovering new Cunningham prime number chains.
