Title: Spoetnik Approved™ Post by: Spoetnik on November 30, 2013, 09:23:14 AM You can see here what coins i have awarded Spoetnik Certification™
In order of preference.. Whats hot and whats not (TBA) * Good Coins * Bitcoin / BTC / SHA256 - http://bitcoin.org/en/choose-your-wallet - i know a guy who bought 62 btc worth of ixcoin and had he just kept his btc's.. lol - tip: If you don't mind having Java installed use Multibit instead of the normal BTC wallet client. - WHY ? because the official Bitcoin wallet's block chain is like 12 gigabytes or something like that last i checked - and if you use Multibit it works in a new way so you don't have to download anything almost.. turn it on and your synced, always. - Armory is listed there to but i think it's a hybrid online wallet of sorts and i advise all users to avoid online wallets if they can. Litecoin / LTC / Scrypt - https://litecoin.org/ - people love trashing on LTC and they have great points but it's entrenched and is actually in use across the globe unlike 98% of other coins. Franko / FRK / Scrypt - http://www.frankos.org/ - well hey its' franko ..what can i say.. go look it up. Securecoin / SRC - Dev = baritus - http://securecoin.org - (ANN Page) https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=270852.0 - This is what Quark should have been.. this coin is Quark modeled after Bitcoin with an extra fair release by an experienced coin dev. - First to use a combo of new algo's with Quark and so far there is no GPU miner that works on pools publicly. Quark / QRK - Dev = Max Guevara - http://www.quarkcoin.com - (ANN Page) https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=260031.0 - Same algo as Securecoin. Released fairly by a good dev. - Special miner programs needed to mine QRK and SRC. The only two coins that use a special combo of hashing algorithms. - Like SRC it's mainly a CPU mining only coin. - Only publicly released GPU miner is closed source and does not work on pools and has a fee, released here = https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=310975.0 Primecoin / XPM - Unique algo coin made by a well known experienced coin dev.. rare.. Off the top of my head these are my top 5 that came to mind with out giving it any thought at all. I will add some more though.. also i will add some more info on this shortly.. such as what algo they use and some links to source topics, pools etc to get new guys going quick. i don't care what you all want to post here but try and help the new guys please. Title: Re: Spoetnik Approved™ Post by: joeroxor on November 30, 2013, 09:41:04 AM Awesome, thanks for the advice. I look in the chat for your posts sometimes.
Listen to this man, he will make you money :P Title: Re: Spoetnik Approved™ Post by: Spoetnik on November 30, 2013, 09:44:45 AM i'm adding little bits of info i found to be useful and i hope that helps others cut through the clutter :)
and my only gripe with Quark is it has been mined heavily and there is a LOT of them out there there is a reason why the price of them is far lower than SRC.. supply and demand. saturate the market they will never be worth that much etc. Title: Re: Spoetnik Approved™ Post by: iGotSpots on November 30, 2013, 09:45:30 AM Thread title should be "Tips for minnows"

I have to disagree here. The SecureCoin developer literally changed a few lines of Quark code, whereas Quark developed the unique 9-round hashing algorithm and a new coin distribution model, whereas SecureCoin just stuck to the Bitcoin model. Baritus even admitted he's not a good coder :P Title: Re: Spoetnik Approved™ Post by: Spoetnik on November 30, 2013, 09:53:56 AM @Rick Storm - you can't disagree.. because i agree with YOU hahahha
all that was needed was to change a few lines of code. and modelling the release and reward after Bitcoin is a very good thing. Securecoin was started at very low block rewards and was gradually increased over time. Many other coins do the opposite.. why is that ? Regardless of what one is better they are both good i just think Securecoin is more promising and has a brighter future. but.. i will list Quark too and provide links etc ;) And Spots you are correct sir ;) Title: Re: Spoetnik Approved™ Post by: Rick Storm on November 30, 2013, 09:55:32 AM @Rick Storm - you can't disagree.. because i agree with YOU hahahha all that was needed was to change a few lines of code ;) and modelling the release and reward after Bitcoin is a very good thing.

iGotSpots has honestly worked a lot on supporting the coin(s) he has released. far faaaar more than the vast majority out there.. we have not gotten along historically but that is not relevant you gotta give a guy his props if it's due.. Franko Collective ? WorkForCrypto ? people out there are trying ! Title: Re: Spoetnik Approved™ Post by: mattle74 on November 30, 2013, 10:02:16 AM Wait, I thought you only loved Protoshares and Protoshares only!?!?! All that I know and believe is a lie!
Your advice on Multibit is invaluable though. It really is awesome. Title: Re: Spoetnik Approved™ Post by: Spoetnik on November 30, 2013, 10:09:38 AM Protoshares / PTS is going to get added to and i will be nice lolol
regardless it has a unique algo etc so it stands out from the pack. i will add some scypt jane coins too i think |
