Title: More Than Bitcoin Post by: BTC4Amazon on April 26, 2013, 02:39:16 AM So recently I have seen a lot of newbies completely oblivious to the fact that there is anything other than Bitcoins out there, so I thought I would quote a sticky from the Altcoin forum until they are able to get out and post there.
This is a reference and the following is not my work: Couldnt find a list, so I made one. [version 24.04.2013] available at http://newbitcoins.com MAJOR: -BTC Bitcoin - first, strongest, most accepted, most mined, high volume market, a true currency -LTC Litecoin - second only to BTC , faster than BTC, Smaller efficiency gap between GPUs and CPUs , ASIC-hostile -NMC Namecoin merged mined with BTC, used for alternative p2p domain system -PPC PPcoin Proof Of Stake [very innovative, low energy ] , compatibile with BTC miners MINOR: -TRC Terracoin based on BTC, fast difficulty adjustment, initialy flaved but corrected -DVC Devcoin merged mined with BTC, 90% of generation goes to foundation, 10% to miners -IXC IxCoin merged mined with BTC, premined 580k coins but still alive -NVC NovaCoin - scrypt hashing[like LTC] , proof of stake [like PPC] , controversial start -FRC Freicoin - back alive. 4.89% anual demurrage. for the first 3 years 80% block subsidy goes to foundation, 20% to miners CANDIDATES: -BTE Bytecoin- the 1:1 bitcoin copy, nothing changed. extremally high starting hype/hashrate. -BBQ BBQCoin- forgotten after 51% attack on launch, now revived and active. super fast version of LTC. -MNC Mincoin- similar to BBQ, but very bad launch giving 10% of all coins to insiders. -FC FeatherCoin- LTC clone with 4x more coins. welcomed by community with big hashrate and superb reception. DEAD / DYING : -LQC Liquidcoin made to be very fast at constant difficulty, dead [pool closed, exchange closed] -SC Solidcoin - dying (10-20% fee), designed to improove IxCoin, hard to be neutral on this one, 1.0 was a premine scam, 2.0 says BTC is pyramid scheme. -GG Geist Geld experiment on BTC algorithm, how fast can it go? just for sience. -TBX Tenebrix great idea of cpu-friendly mining with scrypt, but premined with 7.7milion coins - alive but little support due to premining -FBX Fairbrix - Tenebrix without the premine, bad launch, alive but little support. -I0C I0coin - ixcoin without the premine. Dead -CLC Coiledcoin - some nice ideas, but killed in 51% attack -RUC Rucoin - copy of bitcoin, only difference is that it was developed in russian not english.than reborn much different, not confirmed if it is the same blockchain, both scrypt[like LTC] and sha256d , nice client !warning! not opensource ! dying again -TimeKoin - PHP webbased coin, alive but not used or traded. -Beertokens -abitious [impossible?] try to stabilize price against commodity. -MMM MMMcoin - Dead coin by notorious scamer SPMavrodi, named "yes we can" "my mozem mnogoye" NOT AN OPENSOURCE COMMODITY CRYPTO COIN / NEVER FULLY LAUNCHED: eCash historical try for digital curency by David Chaum, operational but died. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DigiCash DigiCash was the company that made eCash .

Title: Re: More Than Bitcoin Post by: BTC4Amazon on April 26, 2013, 04:08:58 AM It's a bit overwhelming that there are so many coins, I will check them out though Thanks No problem each offers its own exciting opportunities Title: Re: More Than Bitcoin Post by: dKingston on April 26, 2013, 04:10:10 AM Wow, so many coins. What if I created my own coins. How much I need to invest? If you can create a new coin just let me know.
Title: Re: More Than Bitcoin Post by: Kennji on April 26, 2013, 04:11:53 AM Wicked!!!
Title: Re: More Than Bitcoin Post by: BTC4Amazon on April 26, 2013, 04:12:11 AM Wow, so many coins. What if I created my own coins. How much I need to invest? If you can create a new coin just let me know. No real money is needed to be invested unless you need someone to write the code for you. Then it will depends on the complexityTitle: Re: More Than Bitcoin Post by: odolvlobo on April 26, 2013, 04:46:12 AM Wow, so many coins. What if I created my own coins. How much I need to invest? If you can create a new coin just let me know. It is not the way it seems. Bitcoin is much bigger than any of the others. Litecoin comes in a distant second, and the rest barely register. Here is a list of the market capitalization of some of the currencies.

Then it will depends on the complexityI only need a clone of litecoins. What is price for this? I will just change the name. I will invest on that coin. create a forum, marketplace like ebay, pools., exchanger, blogs, news and advertisement i will hype the new coin to its maximum.

Title: Re: More Than Bitcoin Post by: freigeist on April 26, 2013, 11:04:15 AM Hello.
Thanks. I was already following the discussions in the Alternate cryptocurrencies subforum at last for a month. Is pity that I can't post there yet as I registerd today. There are lot of interesting currency concepts and ideas to disscuss there. Title: Re: More Than Bitcoin Post by: ice098 on April 26, 2013, 11:13:18 AM Awesome

Title: Re: More Than Bitcoin Post by: furball on May 02, 2013, 02:37:29 PM Will be interesting to watch these market cap figures over time and come back here to see where they were...interesting times!
I have to say, the steady rise of Litecoin has definitely peaked my interest. Title: Re: More Than Bitcoin Post by: tileownerco on May 02, 2013, 02:59:22 PM Hi

Title: Re: More Than Bitcoin Post by: rainyn on May 02, 2013, 03:03:02 PM Thanks for posting this! As a newbie, I am struggling to take in all the information related to bitcoins. Posts like this are really helpful.
Title: Re: More Than Bitcoin Post by: Crindon on May 02, 2013, 03:07:48 PM Do you like PPC or NMC better? They seem to be about the same.
Title: Re: More Than Bitcoin Post by: LameCooter on May 02, 2013, 03:33:58 PM I expect Litecoin catch up closer to BTC this year

(feathercoin) and (CHNcoin, Chinacoin?) Title: Re: More Than Bitcoin Post by: BTC4Amazon on May 03, 2013, 02:40:09 AM And now there is FTC and CNC (feathercoin) and (CHNcoin, Chinacoin?)

Yeah IDK how well they will do in the future They seem to be ridiculously overvalued right now, but I guess that's expected. Although when I first noticed FTC I expected it to be almost worthless, yet its worth around .50$ right now... this market is going to crash fast Title: Re: More Than Bitcoin Post by: BTC4Amazon on May 03, 2013, 04:48:44 AM And now there is FTC and CNC (feathercoin) and (CHNcoin, Chinacoin?)

I think it's the fact that people accept it as currency. Bitcoin definitely has a networking effect working in it's favor at this point. I'm also cautiously optimistic about Ripple XRP. They say the coin is just a way of validating the system, but is it really just that? The government could outlaw rogue currencies or launch attacks on exchanges that trade them such as Mt. Gox, but if the currency was disguised as something else, then it could possibly withstand legal assaults. Controlling the currency and money supply is a major source of power in the U.S. and every other country. I don't see governments giving up that power without a fight. Right now it's not a problem because it's too small. The implications of Bitcoin going mainstream are enough to give bankers, tax collectors and the government nightmares.
Title: Re: More Than Bitcoin Post by: MiningUnited on May 03, 2013, 05:25:22 AM Love the graph's. They provide a great visual to just how dominate BitCoin is. BitCoin will always be the king of the cryptocurrency world!
Title: Re: More Than Bitcoin Post by: dashingriddler on June 05, 2013, 05:24:17 AM Very interesting thread. This has made me to rethink about one of my ideas that i was willing to implement.
