BTC all the way.  8)

For me BTC is too slow for every day life even if it changed the world of money.

This again?

Have you actually used BTC to purchase something. It takes seconds. There's no need to wait for confirmations on low value goods.

If these newbs even had any BTC they sure as hell wouldn’t be s(p)ending it anywhere  ;D.

LTC, unless I really really trust a third party and do offline transaction with BTC


???
I think you meant 1 confirmation is enough?
It depends on how much you are prepared to lose

No, 0 confirmations. To reverse a 0 confirmation BTC Transaction is still more complicated than a CreditCard-Transaction and success is not guaranteed. Also it's not cost free. To do this for the Value of Groceries of a Coffee is ridiculous.

If the BTC are send with the right fee, it's also nearly impossible they will result in a double spend.

I wouldn't sell a car or a house with 0 confirms (I also wouldn't accept CC for that), but a Beer, Coffee, etc. sure. Basically as a shop owner, everything where I'm willing to accept CC for.

Bitcoin is the only coin you need.

eMunie--all the way  ;D

Do you mean in terms of the name? lol.  I think this poll is definitely biased toward BitCoin....But i'm all in favour of BTC!

It is all about the BTCs  ;D

"I think this poll is definitely biased toward BitCoin"

=> NO because i do my best to post a link of this POLL on Bitcoin, Litecoin, Nextcoin, Megacoin .... Peercoin Forums, Reddit, Facebook

This is why it will last 1 Month !

I will repost alsmost every day, everywhere

I don't think I have heard of any cryptocoin other than bitcoin being used for anything other than trading it for bitcoin or real money. I certainly have never seen any shops advertising the fact that they accept payment in litecoin or dogecoin.

bitcoin and litecoin , everything else is either premined ,instamined or not even mineable or centralized (cough peercoin cough).

There are some. There's a pub in London that accepts Feathercoin, and some places accept LTC, but yeah, most alt currencies are lagging way behind in merchant adoption.

I have read in other treads where people complain about all the new premined coins that bitcoin also was premined. So was bitcoin premined or not? Not that it really matters anymore, but would be interesting to get the facts straight.

Don't forget http://www.cryptosextoys.com which accepts BTC DOGE LTC MEC NMC NVC PPC XPM SXC TRC.

No, it wasn't. Check the blockchain, but obviously Satoshi was one of the first to mine, but he hasn't spent his coins so the argument is irrelevant anyway.

The original

How could anyone forget? A great use for some of your lingering alts! SXC & sex toys ftw!

Jesus I didn't realise they accepted all them now. Still a bit annoyed that they de-listed FTC and now accept doge. Dafuq.

I guess your talking about the Bitcoin value. All we have to do is change the way we think about its price. While Bitcoin is more and more accepted and used as a store of value, the more the price will be. Imagine if 0.00000627 BTC costing U$1,00. You would have that big "numbers", if that is what you call fast economy :D A lot of people with 1-5 BTC and a way better distribuction of money.

He means time for confirmations I assume ;)

Yeah, definitely confirmations.

"newbies" first post :-)
long time registered but only reading...

i think dogecoin for all small things like coke, coffee and so on; feathercoin and litecoin for bigger things like buying a new tv and btc for buying cars

Obviously teh one most merchants accept.  Bitcoin.

Assuming all of them grew big enough I'd go with Nextcoin, instant transaction confirmations, and proof of stake.

Regarding instant transaction confirmations, it is an issue.. the way to steal stuff with Bitcoins is to purposefully double spend, you basically fill a custom made wallet with exactly the right amount of coins and send them from that wallet to the correct address, while at the same time sending them to 9 other addresses which you own.  Suddenly you have a 1 in 10 chance of stealing what you are 'buying'.. right?  I mean 10 minutes is a long confirmation time and I suspect it scares away businesses who look into supporting Bitcoin.. I'd be wary.  Nextcoin however is instantly confirmed!

I think proof of stake is also very important, and this is why.  It ultimately is the only way to keep transaction fees low in the long run.  At the moment we have a hidden cost for paying the miners which is the same thing as the government printing more money!  But once that halves again or stops.. Bitcoin has to implement fairly high transaction fees.. I've heard higher than credit cards currently charge!  Which defeats the purpose of using it to beat those fees!  However with NXT, you just pay people to mine.. not a large amount but enough that if I have computer turned on, why not run the NXT client at the same time and collect the interest on my account? And the amount received per account will grow once people start using NXT for something more than buying and hoarding and actually start spending them on things.

Also NXT and other Proof of Stake coins are not nearly as susceptible to a 51% attack as all the Proof of Work ones where the only guarantee is the amount of money thrown at the mining hardware.

I vote Nextcoin!

Where is the option for Doge?

Quark! ;D

Wow. NXT is second?

Rather unbelievable and unlikely, actually.

Once BTC is accepted by a large entity, like Amazon, there will be a tsunami of interest, acceptability and growth, making it the coin most of us will use.

BTC anyday.  8)

The original, BTC.

This is already the case regardless.

BitCoin seems the most tried and true, as well as standardized and accepted. But litecoin seems interesting enough to keep at hand as a back up currency.

DOGE, because it take the edginess out of money and encourages tipping and giveaways. Who is giving away BTC nowadays? It's all become so serious.

Bitcoin all the way!

I do like some of the alts but we need to concentrate our efforts on BTC and stop working about ridiculous coins!

You buy something from there everyday?

BTC of course, there isn't enough trust behind the othere coins. LTC is on it's way.
