^ says the guy who pumped YACs for days

Makes no sense to add DGC instead of WDC, since WDC came first and is slightly faster.

On a separate note, expected trade volumes should be a factor for Kumala... in terms of how many BTC worth of the coin would get traded a day (that's where he gets his money from alongside withdrawal fees). That could make BTB a good pick since it had 20 BTC of volume yesterday on bter, putting it at the same level of trading volume as TRC for that exchange.

On the other hand, DGC's slightly slower block times greatly reduce orphan rates which lead to a more stable block chain without compromising the "instantaneous" nature of the coin. On a similar note, requiring 5 confirmations @ 20 seconds each rather than 4 @ 15 increases transaction security by about 50%. Additionally, it's lack of a premine period and perhaps the fairest start of just about any altcoin to date has prevented a few ultra early adopters from hoarding tens of thousands of coins which somewhat insulates it from massive dumps that other currencies have experienced that led to their downfall. Further, it has one of the most active altcoin developers of any currency on this forum...this is invaluable.

I take the exact opposite view...I think it makes no sense to support a slightly inferior coin just because it was released a couple days earlier.

DGC being 5 seconds slower doesn't "greatly reduce orphan rates". Everything in your post is FUD and hot air. The only difference between WDC and DGC is DGC is 5 seconds slower to confirm. And there will be 25% less DigitalCoins than WorldCoins produced. That's it.

It's always the greater fool that thinks more exchanges equates to a higher price.

Voted for PhenixCoin.

Lately I've been sticking to BTC/LTC. The developers of PXC are actually creating a demand for their coin, by offering services(full casino, their own exchange, etc) where their coin can be used.

It is still relatively new and more profitable at current rates its selling at vs. difficulty.

None of them. I think vircurex became a trash can for all cryptocurrencies. You remove some of them and make a better layout for the homepage

The objective of Vircurex was always to promote the alt-chains, and as such it was a natural development to list as many of them as feasible. Unfortunately the recent increase in number of alts has made it difficult to support every single one of them. Going forward we will focus more on what difference the alt makes to the community, only changing reward, speed, etc won't be sufficient. Further listings of coins will require some act of innovation, something new, something that the community is looking for.

Having said that, obviously we reserve the right to delist any currency as and when we see it in the interest of our shareholders.


What's the downside of adding more?  It just "looks bad?"  Might as well add them and let the market sort them out, then take down the losers.
Adding a currency does take quite a bit of work, technically adding a currency takes less than 30 Minutes, but then what needs to be considered:
 - risk of double spend attacks
 - hard forks
 - "tiny" temporary forks
 - lack of block chain explorers
 - extra efforts when delisting a "hardly ever traded currency",  we are still geting inquiries about SC which we delisted weeks ago
 - constant upgrades when the developers throw new versions on the market
 - cluttered screen that puts off the users
 - additional server resources  (running a 16GB PC at home costs hardly anything, but check out what running a 16GB server in a datacenter costs you)
- risk of DDOS and other malicious activites because parts of the community are not happy with the choice of listing a coin
 - trojan horses and other backdoors that migth be build in
 - and so on and on and on.


Wow I am surprised that you admit that when looking at a candidate coin that you apparently think has merit, it might not be listed because of Ddos fears from people not happy that you added it. That is quite a statement. I'm sure that there are many stakeholders in LTC that would not be happy to see ANY alt added. I bet BTC millionaires probably dont want any other coin ever added either.

I'm just surprised this line of thought is taken when considering adding a new coin, and even more surprised that you are willing to state this publicly. Seems like a self-fufilling prophecy. If you add a coin, you get Ddos to make you think twice before ever adding a new coin, since the attackers know this plays a role in your acceptance policy.

DGC because the developer is the most active of all the altcoins.  Plus he has the support from the community and network has been growing steadily since launched.

Worldcoin is ready and would work well with it. The network adjusts well to hashrate changes, and has already handled a severe miner rush before. Now it's ready for the next level.

DGC is ready. We have a solid block chain and community, as well as many projects in development.

I wish digital community a lot of succes.

PXC doesn't need an exchange, it has it's own in a few days/weeks.
But if there was a second exchange, VirCurEx would be the right one  Smiley

i think it wont take long before the exchanges will stop adding new coins. Only if they are really innovative.

The down side of adding more coins is it lessens the legitimacy of all coins. I agree there are way to many now with very little market participation. I say vircurex should get rid of some BS coins....
I tried to use this exchange and it was very poor in my opinion. I would take a look at btc-e if I was them. It may look crappy but it is very easy to use and understand... CHANGE THE WORDING AND LAY OUT!!!! USE SELL AND BUY make it easier to use!
