Title: Re: What is Altcoin? Post by: bitclock on May 19, 2013, 07:33:03 PM It refers to the entire ecosystem of alternative coins, growing by the day! Check out 'Alternate cryptocurrencies' forum here for all the action!
Title: Re: What is Altcoin? Post by: theonlyfox on May 20, 2013, 12:31:25 AM Check out this thread https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=134179.0 (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=134179.0). Its an updated list of all coins. All the coins on that list other than Bitcoin are Altcoins.
Title: Re: What is Altcoin? Post by: BitWulf on May 20, 2013, 12:33:53 AM I suggest you take a look at litecoin. Very much promising.

They are merge mined with Bitcoin, so you get both They release 5,000 coins per block instead of 7 like bitcoin They are going up in value They should be 10 cents, but are 20 per 1 penny They have been worth $10 each over a year ago Learn More about Devcoins here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=210366.0 Devtome thread (Earn hundreds of thousands of coins for free) https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=210446.new#new If you are looking for a DVC Mining Pool: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=210391.0 Title: Re: What is Altcoin?

Title: Re: What is Altcoin? Post by: FinShaggy on May 21, 2013, 08:46:03 AM Looking for some cpu friedly coin, anyone known anything of this? I'm thinking DVC is probably pretty CPU friendly with 10 minute block times and 5,000 coin payouts... And I believe BQC (BBQ Coin) is also CPU friendly. Title: Re: What is Altcoin? Post by: taanderson on May 21, 2013, 09:00:47 AM are alternative coins really worth interest, or are they all copycats started by people that were mad at the rising bitcoin difficulty?
I think that with current hardware rigs, any new money based on sha256 is bound to have a very fast growth, but what about confidence and reliability? Title: Re: What is Altcoin?

Devcoin is an amazing project meant to develop great things, and support starving artists and developers. |
