post history is my own and doesn't represent other
there are not many listings active at this time, but Cryptopia's Marketplace looks good.

We need a new marketplace to buy things with these mid-level coins.  Obviously there are a lot of coins that have died, but there are still many in the range of 15th to 30th place that have some value, even though one coin might be worth .0001 cents.  I think people that are holding on to these should use them to purchase things now.   I would be willing to sell digital product (software, pdfs) that I've been making money on for many years for coins that people are only really using now to do trading with.   How else are these things going to be established, since in a lot of ways they do seem on the way out, unless they have some niche marketplace?  Having them circulated puts more of a real world value on them, because people have a vested interest in keeping them going.



I think that it is a great idea. It would be nice to have even more pleaces to use altcoin to give them backing and a value.
I think we should focus on digital purchases because it is the fastest way to make transactions.

Not to get off-topic, but what sort of pdfs do you have that you could actually sell?  Do you mean that you've made money off the pdfs themselves (through selling them) or through information on those pdfs?

After 9/11 I wrote three books on dealing with religious mental illness coming from an interfaith but essentially psychological and Judeo-Christian perspective.  My hope is that they could make it into the Arab/Muslim world maybe adapted by someone.  I have sold them on Amazon since 2005 for the first two and 2010 for the third (See Telical Books website).  I have written other books based on ParaMind Brainstorming Software which is software that tries to exhaust the interaction of words coming up with every idea possible (just an algorithm I am not too grandiose about it actually doing that), which is software I developed and have sold since 1992.

The developers of those mid-level coins can promote their coins by setting up an online shop where they will sell all kinds of stuff and only receive payment in their respective coins. And buyers should be given the option of buying those coins right on the online shop.

There should be a discounted rate, because obviously if the coins are worth .0001 they aren't going to buy much.  So, the seller of the good would be willing to negotiate a price, based on how much faith they want to put into the currency.   Meaning, they could sell something that usually goes for $40 USD for a certain amount of the altcoin, even if that amount of altcoin only amounts to $10 USD.  They could do this because it's the sale of a digital product, and the cost of goods sold is low.
