Title: DigiByte, Mintcoin, and Noblecoin Walk Into A Bar
Post by: BaronVonBB on February 14, 2014, 12:44:13 AM
Which do you go home with and why? Is there a cute little thing sitting across the bar that I didn't notice? Interested in your choices.  ;D

Hmm, good question.

I think Mint will go far as I think the concept is good, plus they have their own exchange which is actually decent...but I would have to say Noble as their community is just so amazing.

Mintcoin.

Why? Because of 2 really important things.

1. Fast distribution.
Fast distribution is great for a coin, it means that it is rare, that there won't be any new coins after a year like with most coins. The reason most coins have slower distribution brings us to point 2. Proof of Stake. Without PoS a fast distribution coins is bad, because when every coin is mined a 51% attack is easy to make because only a few would mine transactionfees.

2. Proof of Stake.
Oh how do I love Proof of Stake, it's a great invention, Sunny King right? Proof of Stake not only is the solution to 51%, it also makes holding coins a better option, which means there will be less selling and less supply, thus making the coin more valuable.


Now for a second place I really can't decide. I like DGB a little bit more, better name, nicer color. But I don't know the NOBL team seems really big and hard working.

But all of these coins are great, I would buy all of them.
50% Mintcoin, 25% DGB and 25% NOBL

I don't think mintpal is in anyway related to mintcoin. Just a coincidence. I think they accepted mintcoin right away just because of the name.

Mintcoin has a great distribution model. It's Green because after 5 weeks there's no more PoW, no wasted electricity. It doesn't need to fight the 51% attacks with consistent mining force.

I can only imagine what will happen to all these generic crap doge clones when summer rolls around and people can't mine all the time or need to turn their mining strength down.  ::)

Mint? oh no... It is not the same age.

Mint is too young, too naive.

DigiByte Vs USDe

Noble Vs EAC, TAC ....
