Monero and Nxt, both made my little laptop crash and throw a tantrum.

Yellowcoin made my Core 2 Duo machine explode with a light show and loud banging and has not worked ever since LOL
..still waiting for the coin dev to reimburse me Sad

Spoetik, brother, you really think you're getting your money back?

But that's a great story, tops most virus stories you hear. lol.

I agree. Add to that crappy new pump coins which come prebuilt with viruses, and your laptop will blow up. Haha.

Monero (XMR) was difficult .

At the beginning there was no GUI. It was all command line! And it did not work on win x86. I had to format c: and overcome my laziness to use it. Eventually it was worth it : the greater the barrier to entry, the lowest the price and the more probable you have a higher ROI.

Lol, was it worth it for you?

Only bitcoin is being "used" to process payment right now.

I do not see any other coin that is used for payment.

Via sites using GoCoin, bitcoin, litecoin and dogecoin can be used for payments.

Any coin with a virus is a pain to use. I heard even black coin started out with a virus in the wallet, but it was removed when the coin got popular.

Monero, My system is useless while its updating. I made it usable by lowering the task priority. The .net wallet only crashes. I use text mode to sync so I can see progress then use cryptonote wallet to send.

NMC due to its command prompt client, though by no means have I tried anywhere near a majority of coins out there.

Bitcoin in the early times.

This is why I returned to it only some year after, and missed the chooo chooo train and I'm not rich

I had the same issues in the beginning but luckily XMR repayed me with some decent gains, now with the GUI is a piece of cake

Another coin with which I had problems was NXT, I really couldn't let it work.
After days of pain the dev gave me a link to another version which worked in the first run -_-

Well any legit new technology is going to be a pain in the ass to use at first, just like early ass versions of Bitcoin were a pain in the ass to use. Well in fact, Bitcoin is still a pain in the ass to use if you don't know what you are doing, it still needs improvement. Also look at that Tested video where they buy a BTC on an ATM machine and they get literally scammed. This needs work before we going 10K mainstream.
