Title: Hello World!

Well, I was unsure what to say, but I believe that was appropriate.

How about a controversial topic...


Why are there so many ALT-crypto currencies?

Pump-dumpers?
Scams?
Get-rich-quick premine peeps?
Bored people?

Let me know!

Hi, I think altcoins are just a pump and dump scam.
bitcoin is the only real cryptocurrency.

Well one of the nice things about alt currencies currently is to use them as a fallback. Once the ASICs for Bitcoins start becoming more numerous, those of us using only GPUs can switch over to another currency that the ASICs aren't able to mine (and I emphasize currently since obviously any currency that's worth it will likely have ASICs at some point or another)

I think the altcoins will eventually serve a purpose. Especially the non SHA256 ones.

i think the main force behind alt currencies usually is the "Get-rich-quick premine" idea. however, alternative currencies might add features. bitcoin is an experiment, thus there might be flaws or shortcomings and these might be addressed by alternatives at present or in the future.
