Please try to be totally Honest, thank you.
Questions 4, 5, 8, and 10 might give you a small bonus, but they are optional
 

1) Do you currently own any amount of any alt coin?
2) ~What month/year did you obtain your first BTC or Alt?
3) Do you currently own more than 0.002 BTC?

4) (Optional)
The market appears to be flooded with new "copycat" coins. Do you personally benefit from developing/very early mining of these "dump" coins?
5) (Optional + This question can be answered by anyone regardless of your answer to #4)
If you had a choice between mining 2 coins that "will go to the moon if they ever get on Cryptsy", or 2 that are uniquely suited to change the way alt coins are created (and hopefully have a real, sustainable uptrend instead of "just a dump"), would you choose "A" (Today's current type of coins, or "B" the kind which gains value based on "quality")?
Note: Many people are seemingly addicted to the current system. Please pause and make sure your answer to #5 is honest (based on the info provided)

6) Would you consider an early investment of ~$10 to $20 in a project where your main motivation was "entertainment, adventure, education, new friends, or being part of a dramatic story" and some chance of getting wealthy (but money wasn't the main reason at first)
7) If "No" would a much lower price ($2 to $5) make a big difference in your decision?

8 ) (Optional) Any comments or ideas regarding the current alt coin universe, this survey, or anything related?
9) Do you ever consider that a "way above average" answer to #8 might lead to a good career/unexpected opportunity someday? (i.e Sometimes extra effort does get noticed, do you think about that much/ever?)
10) (Optional) Any comments or ideas regarding the info found here? https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=495622.0

Quick update 3/9/2014
FYI: If you think this thread is about preparing to launch "great new coins" and we will rush to get the first one out "to raise money for other projects", then you were not paying close attention to the survey.


CoinPayments.net is shutting down (at least for a while)

From their site:
The shutdown will happen in 3 stages:

    We will stop accepting new user registrations effective immediately.
    We will stop processing new transactions at 11:59:59 PM EST on March 24, 2014 (transactions already in progress at that time will be completed).
    The website will otherwise remain operational until 11:59:59 PM EST on March 31st, 2014 when it will be shut down.


I was planning to join and they shut the door:
1) Does anyone know of a functional site (up and running w/ a good reputation) that allows people to easily accept a (medium to) long list of alt coins?
2a) Does anyone have a CoinPayments.net account which they are not using, and are willing to give away?
2b) After a quick read of their terms, I didn't see anything against transferring an account to someone else.
2c) This will help with accepting payments (until the 24th) and start paying you for the survey ASAP.

If you have one which you are not using please PM me w/ the login details, thank you.

1) Yes
2) Got my first BTC via a tip on Reddit in 2010
3) Yes

4) Yes, do mine new coins; hold about 1/2 if its interesting, sell the rest.
5) Quality and innovation are more important; will be less likely to sell such coins after mining.
6) Yes, this is a hobby for me and its more important to see crytos succeed in general and gain wider acceptance. So I do support good dev teams and communities.
7)
8 ) Scrypt altcoins will more or less die when the scrypt ASICs come online similar to what happened with SHA altcoins
9) Life is an open road and this is a young field.
10) Looks interesting, not sure its for me.

1)a few
2)oct
3) why 0.002

4)Meh, sometimes.Not a dev
5)A real quality coin will make you far more money than many shitcoins

6)No.  IPO are scam imo
7)No.  You really have to have a good reason for an IPO

8 )a coin needs transactions to have value.  Also a fractional altcoin would be good, you create coins for projects voted on, when they profit you destroy the coins and the extra is inflation that is split
9)maybe
10)allgood

1)yes
2)10/12
3)yes

4)yes

1)   Yes
2) 01/14
3) Yes
4) No
5) B
6) Probably not.
7) Cheaper the better. But still probably not.
8 )The majority of alt coins are a complete waste, they provide no roadmap to ever be used as a real currency, and seem to be copycat coins trying to market via memes and logos. To stand out, use code that is unique and try to have a real purpose.
9) No
10) Umm… not for me. But perhaps the marinecoin guy would be interested if his crypto city/empire doesn’t go quite as planned.

Another scam IPO in the making

1) Yes

2) August, 2013

3) Yes

4) No

5) In today's world, A, but I would prefer b

6) Yes

7) N/A

8 ) Too many scams and coins with catchy names. Create a coin that serves a purpose, that has a reason to exist. Otherwise it's likely a pump and dump.

9) Anything is possible.

10) I stopped reading the first sentence, felt like a timeshare salesman's pitch.

1)Yes
2)February
3)Yes

4)No
5)B

6)Yes

Note: Many people are seemingly addicted to the current system. Please pause and make sure your answer to #5 is honest (based on the info provided)
B. Since i love coins that has a real purpose

6) Would you consider an early investment of ~$10 to $20 in a project where your main motivation was "entertainment, adventure, education, new friends, or being part of a dramatic story" and some chance of getting wealthy (but money wasn't the main reason at first)
Most likely but money is still the top priority

7) If "No" would a much lower price ($2 to $5) make a big difference in your decision?
Probably

8 ) (Optional) Any comments or ideas regarding the current alt coin universe, this survey, or anything related?
Easy way to get more BTC :)

Would probably join

1)YES
2)November2013
3)YES

4)YES
5)B I like them to have a point of difference to be appealing

6)yes
7)
8 )If you make a new alt coin with a new type of algorithm the program to mine them must be clearly set up and have guides how to use it, It is important to have lots of pools for the new coin so make sure you contact all the current pool owners to get there interests, you must not rush the launch make sure everything is working fine, maintain integrity throughout the updates, running and launch of the coin. try get your coin preregistered on an exchange even if it costs you 1btc but make sure the exchange is trusted and has a good volume. ensure you have a big Dev team, many hands make light work and a good coin. Get involved in a charity event to raise awareness of the coin, ensure a multilingual Dev team that can inform the rest of the world, russian, chinese, spanish are important investors.

9) What comes around goes around ;)
10)

1) Yes, a few altcoins (And of course Bitcoins too)
2) BTC in Nov 2013 and Alts in Dec 2013
3) Yes

4) Have had some luck mining alt coins in early stages and trading them for BTC later when prices go up. No benefit other than this.
5) I will go with "B" the kind which gains value based on "quality"

6) Yes, that would be wonderful
7) Answer is yes, so this question doesn't imply

8 ) Really hate 'copycat' coins unless they offer something that BTC/LTC do not offer. Like faster transactions, anonymity etc.
9) That's definitely possible
10) Too early to comment without concrete info

1) I own mostly alt coins
2) April 2013
3) Yes

4) Yes
5) Whichever makes me more BTC.

6) Only if it looks like making me a big profit.
7) Only motivation is profit.

8 ) Its a natural selection process and is good overall. There are small improvements here and there which adds up.
9) No
10) Interesting, but I am not paying now.

1) Yes
2) 2011
3) Yes

4) I supported some new coins, most of them went wrong very fast...
5) B, that's why I'm supporting Ultracoin - UTC at the moment

6) Yes, I would, depending on the project
7) The lower the better...

8 ) There are WAY too many alt coins at the moment, a lot of them died a while ago but are still in all the lists. I'd like a clean sheet for cryptocurrencies...
9) Not really
10)

1) Yes

2) November, 2013

3) Yes

4) Yes

5) A

6) Yes

7)

8 ) We need more major alt coin exchanges

9) Yes

10) You need a better picture

1) Yes
2) 2/14
3) Yes
4) No
5) A
6) No
7) Yes
8 ) -
9) Possibly, but not likely
10) -

1) Yes, ~2260 Nextcoins and small amount of Litecoins.
2) November 2013, through a mining community.
3) Yes

4) Tried my luck with one Coin, till yet no benefit... Will try more!
5) I tried both ways, but would prefer A...

6) Yes, up to 50$, cause this is an amount which i can loose with a smile...
7) -

8 ) Too much coins, with no changes regarding to BTC / LTC or other coins.
9) YES
10) -

1) Yes
2) 1st of januari 2014
3) Yes (0.002 is very small)

4) Sometimes I try, but I try to be an early adopter for coins that are actually worthwile
5) Definately B, Something worthwile in an altcoin also prevents a lot of panick-sells from everyone, which I find to be really beneficial

6) If it offers something more than just an empty promise then yes
7) -

8 ) I believe the current infrastructure for altcoins can not be sustained. In some time (months?) we will need to have some revolution that will help the cryptocurrency along.
    While new coins like DRK or VRT offer something new and are therefore interesting, they don`t seem to add anything to the notion that Bitcoin is. I would like to see an altcoin that would
    be easier and more accessable for the mainstream media/society (yes, more mainstream than bitcoin). This due to the revolution that bitcoin provides not biding with most people and their understanding of the     concept of money. Therefore I`d like to see an altcoin that has some intrinsic association with real world commodities or even with real world 'tokens' that represent it.
9)
10) seems a really vague post with a lot of empty promises, establishment upfront is something I value a great deal. So trying to 'change the internet' in such a way doesnt seem to work.

1) Yes
2) November 2013
3) Yes

4) No
5) Quality and innovation are more important.
6) Yes. I do support good dev teams and communities.
7)
8 ) too many coins,too many chances,too many dangers.
9) Life is a long road and this is a young field.
10) Looks interesting, not sure it's for me. :)

1)Yes
2) January 2014
3) Yes

4)Used to, not anymore.
5) B

6)Depends.Not easy to convince me at this point.
7) No

8 )Coins need to die faster.Exchanges should remove them faster, be more strict when they add them.Cryptorush is the worst.
9)No
10) Need more details.

1) Yes
2) 11/2013
3) Yes

4) Yes
5) I would spread my hash power to mine all

6) Yes
7) No difference

8) Someone still has to make the ultimate Altcoin please: Can mine (almost) all algos (MyriadCoin), all algos merged mineable (USC, Peseta...), integrate a game (or more than one) like huntercon, mixed POW / POS.

9) No
10) Sounds like a scam - at least as long as important details are missing.

Okay, I'll bite.


Yes, a lot of Reddcoin and a small haunch of ixCoin.


December 2013.


Yes.


No. I'm not part of any launch team and I don't mine. Tech-wise, I'm more interested in figuring out, in my way, how the nuts and bolts of the altcoins work. If I get involved in an altcoin, I buy in with BTC.


Honestly? My reflexes are too durn slow for playing the A game with any success and I'm too inflexible as well. I found that out while day-trading many moons ago. Having learned my lesson in this vein, I'd go with "B" if only because I lack the mental nimbleness to play the A game with any real skill.


I'd have to see more details on the project first.


I didn't put "No" to the prior question, but the $10-$20 level is low enough to not make a difference with regard to lowering the minimum.


The alt scene, at this time, has tired out. There's a lot of rancor and the recent alt-coin "bubble" has deflated. It remains to be seen whether it inflates again; I suspect it will.


Yes, I have, but I believe that the real career opportunities will come only to good devs, proven community and ecosystem builders and skilled traders. It's only a matter of time before "I did X for cybercoin Y, which resulted in $Z value added" appears on people's resumes. 


It offers what is essentially a mutual self-help group. As such, it targets the kind of people who buy self-help books. Right now, altcoins are in the "Wild West" phase and that's not the best time to offer a self-help group. Its most valuable prospects, at this time, would be likely to say, "Neat idea, but I'm too busy." That said, it might be ahead of its time...but it'll be subject to the same traps that all self-help groups either fall into or have to dodge around: devolving into a rest-club / hiring-hall type of feel-good mutual admiration society. 

---------

I hope this answers your questions  :)

1) Yes. Plenty of those.
2) Dec. 2012
3) Yes.

4) Yeah, some of them are very profitable.
5) 'B' of course. If the coin is really innovative, the price will increase anyway. Having another coin which you can trust in addition to Bitcoin and Litecoin would be great. Not to mention that you can actually make some analysis based on the quality of the coin to guess if the price will go up, unlike shitcoins which go to the moon only with a good marketing campaign only to be dumped after.

6) Depends on what "entertainment" in this case means. Those are called CryptoCurrencies for a reason. I don't see any way how a currency can be funny. It's fun mostly because it's a gold rush. Therefore if it's not profitable, it's not fun. So, my answer is NO.
7) No. Only if you can create something really innovative. Otherwise, IPOs are out of question.

8 ) IPOs, premines and blatant lies should not be tolerated.
9) A post on the forum leading to great career? I am not a lunatic, no.
10) Looks like you are trying to create a sect of hippies and take money as entrance fee. Do whatever you want, but right now it looks like you are trying to scam people for a few BTC by promising them an eternal happiness in the dreamland full of love and pink ponies.

Dunno what you are smoking, but if it's not a scam, good luck to you in all your endevours.  

1)  Yes
2)  December 2\2013
3)  Yes

4)  I'm holding long term hoping for the best
5)  Definately B

6)  Probably not but not out of the question
7)  Not a question of money

8 )  I'm loving this and hoping if BTC ever hits 10,000$ per coin, this will be a retirement fund
9)   Who knows what the future holds, I'm open to all opprtunities in the crypto world. No point in being closed minded
10)  I already have more than I could ask for in life so it's only uphill from here!  ;D however not looking for a self help group

1) Yes
2) January 2014
3) Yes

4) No
5) I don't mine. I buy if sounds good.

6) $10 sounds right. It will depend on details.
7) $2 would be alright.

8 ) Difficult to find which altcoin will give good return. There are too many.
9) No
10) Will see how it goes.

1) Yes
2) Dec. 2013
3) Yes

4) Yes
5) B

6) No
7) Maybe, but probably not.

8 ) I am curious what new concepts get integrated into Cryptocurrencies in the future.
9)  No.
10) Not really interested in that.

1) Yes
2) September 2012
3) Yes

4) No
5) B

6) No
7) No

8 )
9)
10)

1) Yes
2) December/2013
3) Yes

4) Yes
5) B

6) Yes, more 10 than 20$ and not before it is started.
7) 6=OK

8 ) The alt coin universe is really a very wild place with a lot of stupid people, everywhere. I do not expect much from it
9) No
10) It very obviously looks like a scam so i did not read it more than 15s

1) yes
2) September/2011
3) yes

4) no
5) B

6) No, that's too much
7) Yes, if it's a trustworthy and convincing project

8 ) no
9) no
10) I'd wish it would talk more about pursuing personal intersts and less about making lots of money

1) Do you currently own any amount of any alt coin?
Yes.

2) ~What month/year did you obtain your first BTC or Alt?
January 2014

3) Do you currently own more than 0.002 BTC?
No

4) (Optional)
The market appears to be flooded with new "copycat" coins. Do you personally benefit from developing/very early mining of these "dump" coins?
Yes.

5) (Optional + This question can be answered by anyone regardless of your answer to #4)
If you had a choice between mining 2 coins that "will go to the moon if they ever get on Cryptsy", or 2 that are uniquely suited to change the way alt coins are created (and hopefully have a real, sustainable uptrend instead of "just a dump"), would you choose "A" (Today's current type of coins, or "B" the kind which gains value based on "quality")?
Note: Many people are seemingly addicted to the current system. Please pause and make sure your answer to #5 is honest (based on the info provided)
B. Altcoins that can actually innovate if they do ever get on crypsty will skyrocket in price anyways, so why not invest in on that is innovative?

6) Would you consider an early investment of ~$10 to $20 in a project where your main motivation was "entertainment, adventure, education, new friends, or being part of a dramatic story" and some chance of getting wealthy (but money wasn't the main reason at first)
If I saw potential in the coin, partially to see it grow but more about the money.

7) If "No" would a much lower price ($2 to $5) make a big difference in your decision?


8 ) (Optional) Any comments or ideas regarding the current alt coin universe, this survey, or anything related?
BTC & LTC taking the lions share, we need other altcoins to take mainstream adoption!

9) Do you ever consider that a "way above average" answer to #8 might lead to a good career/unexpected opportunity someday? (i.e Sometimes extra effort does get noticed, do you think about that much/ever?)
You might be asked to be a financial consultant, which more people will
want as crypto currency becomes more of a mainstream thing.
10) (Optional) Any comments or ideas regarding the info found here? https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=495622.0
sounds like a good idea, but the concept taking off is another thing.

1) Yes
2) January 2014
3) Yes

4) I have a small mining rig that I point at coin launches if I feel the coin has potential. So yes I do benefit I suppose. 
5) Coin B. For more people to be attracted to bitcoins all these scam coins need to die. Which they will just give it time...

6) Sure I guess $10-20 isn't that much.
7) N/A

8 ) It's a little difficult for the average person to involved with bitcoins so any coin that can streamline the buying process, wallet etc. Make the coin appeal to someone that has no idea about bitcoins. Make it simple, make it secure, and make it work. If someone could do this right I think the coin would have A LOT of potential.
9) Anything can happen
10) Would need more details about it to make a decision

1) Yes, bitcoin and litecoin
2) BTC in Dec 2013 and LTC in february 2014
3) Yes

6) Yes, that would be great
7) Answer is yes, so this question doesn't imply

8 ) I don't like coins that offer something that BTC/LTC already do.
9) That's definitely possible
10) I need more info

1) yes
2) november 2013
3) yes

4) yes. New coins are good if they have some intrinsic value/benefit to the community
5) A - if I want to mine it has to make money for me otherwise what's the point. Having intrinsic value makes it profitable

6) maybe. the entertainment industry at the moment sucks
7) sure

8) a coin that does encrypted emails or benefit the poor
9) yes - I love to be involved in the altcoin business
10) mm...

1) Yes
2) August, 2013
3) Yes
4) No
5) I would prefer b
6) Yes
7) N/A
8 ) Create a coin that serves a purpose, that has a reason to exist. Otherwise it's likely a pump and dump.
9) Anything is possible.
10) I stopped reading the first sentence, felt like a timeshare salesman's pitch.

1) Yes I own a bunch
2) February 2014
3) Yes

4) I tried to, but realized that it wasn't worth the time
5) B
6) Possbily, depends on the project
7)

8 ) Coins need to stop being so cookiecutter and develop their own ideas.
9) Yes I do
10) I'm going to go reread it ,because I'm interested

1) Yes some doge. Will try others 2.
2) Marth 2014 i made some Alt.
3) Nops not jet.

4) Not at the moment.
5) I would go for B But get a minimal amount option A.

6) I would not do a investment now.
7) No.

8) 1 coint for the world would would be nice.
9) I hope the coin i mine will be wort some and be usefull.
10) Seems 2 be a grdeat post. Ill read i a second time later after dinner.

Cant change my signature it seems.. Sow if you really want to give some coin this is my doge wallet:
DDZmFZBgcWnfqrqVvo3RM4pNsuCMeRvySK

1) Yes
2) January 2014
3) I do not.

4) I personally don't.
5) B


6) Probably not.
7) Yes

8 ) I feel like we're in the Wild West sometimes with these coins, it's pretty chaotic and lawless.
9) Eh, it's nice to think so but I'm not sure.
10) Not really.

1) Yes. I own about 20-30 different altcoins.
2) I obtained my first bitcoins on November/2013. I'd known about them for about a year before then though.
3) Yes.

4) I keep all of my coins. So I can't tell whether or not I benefit, or if I'll benefit in the future.
5) B of course. As I've said, I keep all of my altcoins. I prefer quality coins over get rich quick coins.

6) For Education/Adventure yes.
7)-

8) None that I can think of.
9) Not sure.
10) I don't know how I feel about this. If well executed and bitcoins break it more into the mainstream, I can see it being successful.

1) FTC, VTC, XCP and a few others
2) March 2013
3) Yes

4) Yes
5) To the moon, of course.

6) Not really.
7) I guess, since I would not really bother about this amount.

8 ) Still not sure why I am taking this survey.
9) No
10) Does not look attractive to me.

1) Yes.
2) ~ 1/2013
3) No

4) No -- haven't done either
5) Well, with that phrasing, I think I will choose "B"!

6) Again, based on the phrasing -- yes! And who wouldn't?
7)

8 ) This survey is very clever. The end of the easy alt stuff is near and you sense that. You are providing an escape hatch for the fearful, or soon to be.
9) Also very clever. There is now a way to be better and to rightly "deserve".
10) It's almost too over the top, with the picture and words bordering on the purposefully cliché. The feel good rhetoric is also layered on thick. Still, enough of a nod to the libertarians, who are a big portion of alt coin's populations, to attract them, but not too much to repel others. It's all so vague that you appear to be mocking some of the very coins currently in existence. One is not sure if the site is satire or real. 

1) Yes, but only recently due to my participation in DevToMe
2) June 2012
3) Yes, but not nearly as much as I should, given my adoption date above.

4) No I do not
5) I've never been in that position so I can't really answer that with any certainty. If I had the hardware to mine with, and saw that immediate profits were more from mining the younger coins, I would probably mine those, and use the proceeds to buy the alts I really believe in.

6) Yes, depending on the specifics I might consider such an investment.
7) This would increase my likelihood of investing, yes.

8) I feel that now is prime time for an alt-coin to potentially usurp Bitcoin if it's ever going to happen. Bitcoin is vulnerable in the public mind from the recent Gox fiasco scenario. Based on all these questions, I'd say that this survey seems related to a new coin that somebody might be planning. Guessing it implements a new mining process (judging from question 5), or might be proof of stake (judging from questions 6 and 7). If it could also implement some kind of killer app (something else gleamed from question 6) it could potentially do really well in this kind of climate.
9) No, I would not think this possible. In fact, I would be incredibly leery that it might be some kind of scam, if I were approached this way. It would also deter me from being interested in the investment from questions 6 and 7, if the person presenting it were trying to link it to a potential career opportunity. It's just a huge red flag. Things that sound too good to be true usually are.
10) Sounds too good to be true, to be honest. I need more convincing.

1) Yes, I own around 6 different altcoins.
2) I believe it was November of 2013.
3) Yes.

4) No, I always miss the window.
5) B.

6) Yes.
7) N/A

8 ) I hope that what you're planning works out.
9) I wouldn't disagree with that.
10) Doesn't look like my kind of thing, but nothing particular to say about it.

1)Yes a bit of everything
2)January 2012
3)Yes

4)Yes
5)B.

6)Yes
7)N/A

8 ) Not Really
9) Yes.
10) Not really..

1) Yes - DOGE, LTC, Dark, some others
2) 04/13
3) Yes
4)Early Mining - a bit
5) B
6) I would consider it
7) Yes
8 ) No
9) Perhaps
10) Nah

edit: Thread linked to was deleted since they are cracking down on givaways.

Ok, here it goes...

1) Yes, a large range of coins- moderate holdings.
2) March, 2013.
3) Yes.
4) No!
5) B- because I am a holder, not a trader or miner. I want to be a user of coins, and I want crypto to be part of broader society in it's use. Selfishness breeds distrust and short-lived success.
6) Yes, the best cryptos offer this.
7) No
8) I have many hopes, but trust is an issue that is the most important in crypto development. I am an artist and writer- not a coder, developer or businessman, and it pains me that I am constantly having to put trust in the intentions of faceless cryptos. I believe the best thing that a new coin can do, is be transparent with the people behind it. Hopefully this survey is a marker of good intention, rather than just the premise of something 'more'.
9) In any endevour, making an effort demonstrates a sense of caring- I read Bitcointalk all the time, and I get a sense that there are more people wanting something, than there are willing to give something. That's the wrong attitude. All I can give crypto is being an informed user and spending time learning and using the protocols, with the hope that this is something that I can pass onto my friends and family.
10) Eccentric and optimistic for sure! Intriguing. I'm not sure about the 'Big Money' goal thing, nor the future millionaires/billionaires thing- that sounds too much like a 90's self-help book. Otherwise, I'll be interested to see where this goes.

1) Yes, mainly in doge, mint, and realstack.

2) Around the crash from 1200 to 500, November-ish.

3) Yes.

4) Yes.

5) I'll probably mine half of both, to minimize the risk of all-inning on one.

6) Yes.

8 ) There are too many coins out there at the moment, hopefully the true coins will emerge soon.

9) Perhaps, it could lead to opportunities in the market.

10) Interesting, but I don't know if I would pay for it.

1)Yes, i own about 5 altcoin including BTC and RDD
2)Got my first coin at Rugatu answering technical questions.
3)Yes

4)You can spot a copycat or clone coin in an instant, No i don`t
5)my answer is B good quality. this type of coin will take you a long journey

6)Maybe, when i see an IPO coin, alert keeps on ringing in the back of my head.
7)No,

8 )Their are too many altcoins popping around some are being endorse my prominent people, but do they serve its purpose i guess not.
9)we can never know what tomorrow will give us.
10)It would not hurt to try new things.

1)yes, Primecoin
2)2011
3)yes

4)nope
5) "B" the kind which gains value based on "quality"

6)yes
7)n/a

8 )coins are too easy to mine with advanced add-ons, should be done without additional hardware
9)yes
10)nice idea

Thanks in advance.

1) Yes
2) 11/2013
3) Yes

4) Yes
5) B - mid to long term investment is part of my plan.

6) Yes
7) N/A

8 ) Google Docs makes surveys like this real friendly.
9) Yes but this is the first time answering so 'do I ever' is a strange way of phrasing this question.
10) no input at this time.

1)yes
2)2013.11
3)yes

4)no
5)B

6)yes
7)no. I don't care the money.

8 )
9)Yes. Maybe.
10)

That thread is locked, how exactly are we to 'post' there?

1)Yes.
2)December 2013
3)Yes

4)Yes, I mine newer coins, and dump when satisfied with the return.
5)B

6)Yes
7)---

8)Pre-mined coins are usually something I stay away from.  I think scrypt coins are on the rise. 
9) Yes
10) Looks pretty cool, not sure if it is for me though. 

1) Yes
2) November 2013, during the massive rally from 500 and up.
3) Yes

4) Yes, I mined some coins that appear to be different than others (Doge, Noble)
5) B. See my involvement in NobleCoin, a coin that is a copy, but takes things differently (transparancy, clear goals, honest and hard working dev)

6) Yes
7) - (though it would make entry easier)
 
8) Be transparant, give loads of updates, avoid "To da mooners" Focus on your strong points, what makes your coin different? Small pre-mine is ok, but not if 0,1% is 50% of the supply for the first 10 years..
9) Yes, though you should not expect it often does not happen.
10) Sounds to got to be true to be honest, maybe make it look less like a sales pitch.

1) Yes, currently I own some from about 10 different altcoins.
2) As a gift back in 2011.
3) Yes.

4) Yes, from early mining.
5) I prefer a combination of A and B (e.g. I'm mining and holding Protoshares and NXT, but also mined Doge, Earthcoin
and several others for the quick buck).

6) Yes. However I'm not interested in "entertainment, adventure, education, new friends, or being part of a dramatic story".
I'm interested only in the "chance of getting wealthy" part :).
7) N/A

8) 90% of the alts are crap, but fortunately "tradeable/dumpable" crap...
9) No.
10) Looks like one of the usual "Be Your Own Boss and/or Get rich quick" MLMs.

1) Yes
2) 01/14
3) No

4) No
5) B

6) No
7) Yes

8) I'd like to see only CPU or GPU mining coin. No ASIC
9) Not really
10) Not enough info in the post

1) Yes.
2) December 2013.
3) Yes.

4) I've made a small amount from choosing the right coin to mine but really it's a crapshoot. Have never developed a coin.
5) I'd choose B, if the coin is so revolutionary I will make money from it regardless and the rest of the world will benefit too.

6) Yes, definitely, I already did so with Doge. But I will not buy directly from the developer.
7) n/a

8 ) Most current coins are garbage. I won't touch a new coin unless it includes significant new features. Clonecoins should be boycotted entirely imo.
9) Not 100% sure what this means, but I'm certainly not expecting to get noticed for a quick opinion like that one, lol.
10) My first impression is that it's a pyramid scheme. Nobody with any legitimacy makes promises like the OP is there.

1) Yes: VEL, Q2C and DOGE besides others
2) 2012
3) Yes  :D

4) No, I like to mine coins with new features/algos and am more the bagholder type.  ;D
5) Obviously B, if it's done well.

6) Probably not. IPO = scam in my experience  :-\
7) More likely
 
8 ) We need more fresh algos and new wallet designs (skins). I'd love some Curve25519 http://cr.yp.to/ecdh.html . Built-in Escrow would be great too.
9) Reading this question after my short answer made me laugh. Perhaps, perhaps not. Since my coding skills are very underdeveloped I doubt it. I can admin a linux server though.  ;D
10) The whale market sure is an interesting idea. But I'm not sure if you develop a coin or a community. Or is it both?  ;D

1) Yes, some doge coins
2) November 2013
3) No.

4) Yes, I am currently mining new altcoins and holding them until one of them rises in price.
5) I would go for the best profit.
 
6) I would think about it.
7) A lower price like that would be more interesting.

8 )
9) Yes that could be.
10)

1) I have mostly altcoins.
2) Oct/Nov 2013 (forgot the exact date).
3) Yes

4) I have made a profit on a few.
5) First option.

6) If I invest its only because of some chance of getting wealthy.
7) Probably.

8 ) Altcoins allow newcomers to build up their stake.
9) No
10) Not sure what it is, to be honest. Some kind of support group?

Thank you.

1)yes
2)2013
3)yes

4)no
5)quality

6)already did, doges, and when they killed the currency aka inflationary, i lost a lot of $
7)if i get free from here $, well that could be used to make me tons like it did with the original drug addicts that used btc to buy drugs from silkroad for .30 a bitcoin and maybe a litle more. Many of them cashed out at 1200k

8 )would be nice, on most alts that I have ever held, i only lost money
9) well I need a bigger miner, to compete, and so far mentioning bitcoin when applying for a job has landed me no job
10) looks great thanks

1) Yes, quite a few
2)october 2013
3) yes

4) occasionally, but a lot are losses since i dont have any mining power
5) it seems like theres more money in A, but i like the idea of B MUCH better

6) no, too risky for nothing in return
7) sure, that isnt really anything to risk.

8 ) i really hope people get together behind something, like NEM.
9) quite possibly
10) seems a little ridiculous. but it could work

You're welcome.

1. Yes
2. December 2013
3. Yes
4. Yes
5. B. Quality based.
6. Yes
7. NA
8. Tonnes. You should drop me a PM if you're interested to hear the ramblings of a chain-smoking drunk. However, I would like to highlight two points - the objectives of 9/10 alt coin devs seem to end at getting on an exchange, and development apparently consists of mainly dice games and faucets.
9. No.
10. Too vague and light.

I appreciate the courtesy you displayed on both threads. Civility to strangers is a dying art.

1) Yes (multiple coins)
2) March 2012
3) Yes

4) Yes
5) B

6) Yes
7) N/A

8 ) Many of the clonecoins are annoying and will continue to be annoying, but as I've seen, it's all part of the process. Although, the recent uptick of IPOs resulting in scams is quite unfortunate. I'm also very curious on what shakes out from this survey. I hope to see collated results that are broken down by various Bitcointalk demographics (such as member status).
9) Sure, those sort of things are always possible. Although, it's more likely that if an unexpected opportunity arises, it'll be for a nice job, not necessarily a nice career; after all, careers are built over long periods of time (i.e. years).
10) It's a different concept, but besides the link to crypto-currencies what makes it different from other types of entrepreneurial-styled pay sites? In fact, seeing that you are trying to work something where you can get receive discounts on coins from whales alongside the IPO type of structure makes it seem a slight bit suspicious.

1) yes
2) January 2013
3) yes
4) yes
5) B
6) yes
7) NA
8 ) most new coins aren't worth it to me
9) no
10) it looks good to me

Thanks!

1) Yes
2) December 2013
3) Yes
4) I'll mine then dump anything. For some reason, people will pay for complete shit so I mine whatever poop coin has low difficulty.
5) The only coin with a mainstream future is BTC and maybe one alt. So I'll keep up with the pump and dumps. It is profitable.

6) Only if you are expecting it to go to the moon. I find that entertainment.
7) No, crypto-currencies are not fun or entertainment so the amount is irrelevant.

8 ) maybe if it is to infinity and beyond.
9) no
10) (the devil is in the details.

1) Yes
2) Feb 2014
3) Yes

4) No
5) B

6) Yes

Thanks!

1 ) Yes
2 ) Feb 2014
3 ) Yes
4 ) No , lost a little bit to doge
5 ) I will choose "will go to the moon if they ever get on Cryptsy" coin. , even tho i have been burnt before
6 ) Yes
7 ) -
8 ) makes it easier to get BTC
9 ) Yes i really do enjoy doing this.
10 ) Would Join

Thank you   :D

1) Yes
2) Dec 2013
3) Yes

4) Yes
5) B always wins in the end, A for short term

6) Yes
7)

8 ) I want to see another coin like GPUCoin but with improvements made to the business model.

    Investors would invest in the company XCoin.
    All investments would go to purchasing wholesale goods.
    Investors would each get a lump sum of XCoins equal to the wholesale cost of the goods
    The goods are sold at competitive prices, but the only way to buy them is with XCoins.
    People can purchase XCoins from investors or mine them.
    The proceeds, including the majority of profits, are used to purchase more equipment at wholesale price - and the cycle repeats.
    A small portion of profits is split up and sent to investor's wallets. (they have special stake wallets)

    What would happen is as follows:  If the goods are in high demand then customers will push the price of XCoin up trying to get a good deal.  The price should end up around what one can get at EBay or other auction houses.
Not only this - but money will constantly be injected into the market since people have to buy XCoins to get that good deal.

The price would stabalize, the market would have liquidity since customers have to purchase XCoin and in turn XCoin has to be converted back to bitcoin to purchase the goods.
Investors would be able to sell of their initial pile of coins and make profit since they got them at wholesale costs.  Also investors would profit for the rest of the lifecycle of the company with their stake.
The supply would grow as most profits are put back into buying more equipment.  The coin would become huge.


9) Yes.  It is possible. (not my answer, but maybe someone else) It is unlikely.  It takes action, not just words, to get an idea going.
10) Already posted on thread.

1) Yes, loads
2) 05/2013
3) Yes, way more

4) Yes, I am activelly picking them up, malesting and dumping them, because thats all what they deserve.
5) B, since 99% of alts are copypaste shit/scams and killing whole crypto scene

6) Yes, but You will have hard time to persuade me that "funny stuff is ahead" and motivate me, as I went throught many "funny and dramatic" scams (unocs, orbitcoin, phenixex, minersbit, stockcoin, EDIT: maybe even this...).
7) thats ridiculously low, are You targeting all the kids exploiting parents electricity bills by non profitable mining?

8) Make POW/POS hybrid coin resistant to ASICs and multipool malesting with balanced params and some funny way to "human mine" (something like HUC did), back it up with huge self supporting comunity and ease to use features and yo´re winner. I actually have some concept, but I won´t share ;-)
9) Of course, only blindfolded fool did not.
10) Holly fuck, I should start from the end, I would never fill this If I read that before.. Sounds like shit to my eyes for the first smell (Yes, nonsense exactly as your concept). My scam alert siren woke up whole street now.. Btw. It reminds me late 80´ pathetic advertisement. I am definitely watch this thread and see how many fools will you lure to trap. Also, its quite patch to know, but anyway:


Never forget..

1) No
2) April 2013
3) Yes

4) No
5) B

6) Maybe
7) Possibly

8 ) No
9) Doubt it
10) Looks like a confusing scam

1) yes
2) 2013
3) yes

4) no
5) B coin would be preferred

6) no
7) yes

1) Yes (LTC,DoGE,XHD)
2) October / 2013
3) Yes

4) Nope, 99% Of those coins are made just so people (DEV and team) can scam some money.
5)There are far too many ALTcoins out there, no need for new unless it is new technology that will revolutionize something IMO we have seen enough so far.

6) I allready have Dogecoin for that, but sure why not.
7) No

8 ) Altcoins are good, as long as they are not there just for the money, it takes a lot of work for a coin to because USEFULL and successful (Doge, LTC,)
9) No, so far it is not needed.
10) One can only dream of right?

1) Yes
2) Jan 13
3) YEs

4) Yes
5) Not enough information to answer

6) No
7) Maybe, depends what they offered

8 ) no
9) no
10) no

just curious, did anyone get their ten dollars in altcoins for doing this?

I havent.

1) yes
2) June 2012
3) yes

4) a couple times it has been worth my time to mine them
5) I generally go towards quality

6) no
7) no

8 ) no
9) only if one implements it themselves before someone else sees it and does it first
10) It reminds me of those "Make $xxx working from home" ads. I would immediately discount it as an attempt to exploit the stupid.

1) Yes (40,000 doge)
2) july 2013 (.2btc)
3) Yes

4) yes, some of the coins i have invested in returned good profits (doge)
5) B

6) Yes
7) N/A

8 ) alt coins is an interesting option to explore, however, untill more people become involved it will be difficut for it to take off like bitcoin
9)no
10) nothing intersting on the like

1) Yes
2) I may get bashed for this, but it was given to me by TradeFortress
3) Yes

4) I never took notice of altcoins unless they actually contain innovation rather than just cloning, adding coins, reducing times , etc

5) WorldCoin and LiteCoin, despite the fact that WorldCoin price dropped due to Schrambeck, it is still an innovative coin with large support, LiteCoin does not need to be explained haha

6) Not really
7) Of course it would

8 ) Too many altcoins ruins the economy, we just need a few good ones, and maybe a thrash coin exchange
9) Nah
10) Some people think its a scam, we need some actual figures

1) Yes
2) June/July 2013
3) Yes

4) Yes, for some times.
5) B

6) Maybe
7) Maybe

8 ) Nope
9) Nope
10) Nope

1) Yes
2) March 2013
3) Yes

4) No, but I'm working on it
5) B - since I can't get in early, looking for true innovation

6) No
7) Yes

8) I don't think it is that bad - the community seems to have figured out the scam coins pretty quick - e.g coinye.  I wish you luck with your project.
9) It would be pretty to think so.
10) I hope a site like that works for some people.  As far as coins though hard to beat bitcointalk forums.  Good Luck!

1) Yes
2) February 2014
3) yes

4) (Optional)
yestime to time

5) B

6) Yes
7) If "No" would a much lower price ($2 to $5) make a big difference in your decision?

8 ) (Optional) Any comments or ideas regarding the current alt coin universe, this survey, or anything related?
9) No
10) (Optional)

1) A lot of very small amounts from trying out various coins, and mining on multipools. I trade most coins instantly for BTC though.
2) In march 2012 I mined BTC/LTC for a few weeks, but was very busy with university so lost interest. Started again in december 2013.
3) Yes

4) I don't have enough time to actively do research, and invest/mine very new pump'n'dump coins. I benefit in small ways from them by mining in multipools that adopt these coins fairly early.
5) As I am interested in the internal workings of crypto-currencies in general, I like the quality-coins (B) more as they may have an impact on the future. I even spent some time thinking about how to improve them myself. I see mining more as a hobby instead of a way to make money. Being honest however, for mining I just pick the most profitable coin. Sadly, those are pump'n'dump coins (A) most of the time. I think this choice is based on me thinking that my puny hashrate won't make a difference.

6) Yes, definitely
7) For the motivations mentioned, I would even pay a higher price. After all, that's what life's about, no?

8) I think alt coins have a positive influence on crypto-currency. A lot are copy/paste, but they raise questions and sometimes deal with problems. Eventually this will lead to improvements.
9) Yes, I think people that put a lot of effort in their job or elsewhere will eventually get noticed, and rewarded for it. Karma is a good way to motive yourself :)
10) Very sceptical about it. If what you say is honest and can be performed, it's a very nice dream/thought/idea. I think you have to provide some more info and certainty however to attract people in a forum filled with scammers.

1) Yes
2) Feb 2014
3) Yes

4) A
5) B
6) Yes
8 ) Current scene is flooded with everyone trying to get rich, we cannot stop this as this is human mentality. But in long term only those coins will survive which are fast and secure enough for real world transactions. The coins with more merchant acceptance will be of more value.
9) Yes, i always get noticed because of my eye for detail and perfectionist nature
10) Looks interesting, not sure its for me.

1)yes
2)feb/2012
3)yes

4)yes, i do early mine some CPU coins;
5)surely second option

6)No
7)No

8)shit is so unstable, im exited about whats gonna happen in cryptos universe
9)possibily
10)idk

1) A lot
2) 05/2013
3) Yes

4) Yes
5) A

6) Would not be very interested
7) Doubt it

8 ) Alt coins go through periodic pump and dump cycles. Great for making profits.
9) No
10) Everybody here is trying to make profit of others. I doubt your idea will be any good.

1) Yes, I have approximately 17 stored in hardware wallets I personally hold as well as numerous others that's I keep on exchanges.

2) December 2011

3) Yes

4) Yes, however I don't believe the dumping is related to the technology

5) I'm more interested in mining unique coins, actually I'm offering a number of 0.1 BTC bounties for developers to help me with my own ideas for a unique coin.

6) Of course, although I don't really measure things in Fiat, risking 0.002 BTC on a new coin is something I've done countless times already, and I have no regrets.

7) N/A

8 ) The current "alt coin universe" has lots of imagination put into the marketing, but not much imagination put into the code. I'd like to see more coins that can be used for alternative purposes, like SiaCoin. SiaCoin is still in development but aims to be a coin to allow users to pay for cloud storage of large files or to sell their storage space to other users of SiaCoin. You can't find more info here.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yhZXj48tUao

Also I would like to develop my own coin that has PoS as the main way of generating coins, and a supply limited only by time, and not by a specific number of coins.

The grammar in question 6 makes the question difficult to answer if you would consider $10 for entertainment, but not for one of the other values, or vice versa. Grammatical ambiguity aside I understood the gist of the question and hopefully you still like my answers. Grammar Nazi's often shoot themselves in the foot anyway

9) I would like consider my "way above average" answer could lead to an unexpected opportunity. I do understand that this may just be the Dunning Kruger effect though. Despite my belief that my answer is "way above average", it's the belief of others that will decide. Objectivity is what others see ;)

10) Setting a clear goal to make over $10,000,000 USD in the next 5 to 8 years sounds good, but I'd rather set my goals in BTC as I don't think $10,000,000 USD will be able to buy toilet paper in 8 years time :) I'll aim for 10,000 BTC and expect it will be worth more by the time I get there.

I'm not sure I fully understand what I've been a part of here, but I'm excited to find out. The future is bright  :D

1)Yes
2) Reddit tipbot in 2011
3)Yes
4)No I do not mine any coins
5) I would chose the quality coins to mine
6)Absolutely, I think this is largely missing from the crypto community at the moment
7) Not a big difference for me

8 ) Like you said, there are far too many altcoins atm. Over the past few months I have been more and more reluctant to invest in any new coin. Despite having a lot of hype and seemingly good people behind them, the majority of them fail or end up being pump and dump schemes.
9)no not really
10) definitely not for me

thanks very much and good luck!

1 )  Yes!I have AUR, ANI, DOPE, KARM, PENG, ORCA, FATE, CAT, 24, OLY, DOGE, CENT, on qt clients and some others on exchanges in small amounts (under 100 coins each)
2 )  Received Time    2013-11-26 03:46:42 it was BTC!
3 )  Yes!

4 )  I'm always late! I try to guess the next coin that will go up but I always end up loosing (i bought KARM at 13 satoshies and now it's 1!)
5 )  B (I'm trying to get AUR and FATE right now, because they are different, and as much as I've used cryptys they have very slow deposits so I never made a profit from trying to sell something there as I respect the rule that says don't keep your coins in an online wallet)

6 )  Yes! it could even go up to 30$ in my case
7 )  If I'm willing to invest up to 30$ then 2-5$ wouldn't be a problem

8 )  If you plan to make an altcoin that you wish to have a decent price don't make 900.000.000.000 coins in it! Stay around 20-30 mil coins range! And first of all the coin should have a purpose and it should be innovative! Also a good thing is no pre-mine!
9 )  No, but after I've read question number 9 I've wrote more at my answer at question number 8
10 ) I will not send BTC to that address before having some assurance that you will actually do something! And tell us how much you will earn from us! For example if you say I will earn 2 BTC/year if I have 300 members with 1 year subscription, also note that if you take your commission upfront we have no guarantee that you will be here for more than a few months!

1) Yes
2) Sep 2012
3) Yes
4) No
5) B
6) Yes
7) NA
8)
9) No
10)

1) Yes
2) I got my first BTC by trade in 2013 November
3) Yes
4) Yes, mine several coins, but not develop so far
5) Quality of course. I choose B. Such kind of coins will have real meanings in the future
6) Yes, very interested if the coin seems interesting and innovative
7) probably
8 ) There are so many new coins , but the new concept will be better for the coin
9) yes
10) Looks interesting, i may follow this community.

1) Yes
2) Got my first BTC December 2013
3) Yes

4) Yes, do mine new coins
5) Quality and innovation are more important; will be less likely to sell such coins after mining.
6) Yes, this is a hobby for me and its more important to see crytos succeed in general and gain wider acceptance. So I do support good dev teams and communities.
7) 2 bucks.
8 ) Scrypt altcoins will more or less die when the scrypt ASICs come online similar to what happened with SHA altcoins
9) Life is an open road and this is a young field.
10) Looks interesting, not sure its for me.

1)Yes, have a couple different alt coins
2)October 2013
3)Yes

4)No
5)B

6)Yes
7)I could see the price having an impact

8 )Way too many altcoins right now, I would like to see any new coins come that come out either be more innovative or have a more specified purpose, as opposed to just another pump and dump scheme
9)Yes, although it won't come from my answer
10)Seems somewhat interesting, although it kind of reminds me of one of those late night "get rich" infomercials, which may make people wary

1) Yes!
2) 2013 :(
3) Yes!
4) Hopefully yes
5) A, we're all in it for the money
6) Yes!
7) IT WAS YES
8 ) It's a good survey
9) Yes!
10) NAH

1) Yes
2) heard very early about BTC but no one calced with that result.. so I got late to LTC in 2013
3) Yes

4) Sometimes, when a coin gets a good pump by a willing man/group a lot of ppl can benefit.
5) That sounds like advertising to me because quality is such a thing, but for sure.. the second, B! Very rough question, when quality is not a problem of costs in that world...

6) If it can finance me traveling or repairs for sure, in terms of "adventure" or whatever generating costs.
7) Is psychological much more easily to accept then >20$, if the investment is necessary to get a "stake" or what else, people with a low aviable amount of dollars per day or less then one $ will be penalized for not lifing in the right place..

8 ) What you wanna hear? Its not easy to put good knowledge in an part of a Forum´s message to let ppl understand their intentions and beliefs, a lot more if they told already dozens of ppl their intentions about crypto. But there are meanings, for sure, that can´t get packed into a few words.
Its a risk and a chance, but humanity has different development steps to go through, his challenges for now are to make an better and more fair overlayer then the current fiat currencies are.
Only when the currencies will change and the way we work with them, the "civilized" societies will change and speeding up our technological and mental progress. And that without debts in our sense of meaning...
If the whole humanity gets access to space and its ressources, they will laugh about that people on earth have given a clumb of metal more value then a mathematical calculation. not even to mention fiat papermoney...

9) If the world that we know change in our lifetime in this direction, then yes. But the now goes after degrees and references, curriculum vitae´s and other stuff, but for sure, for doing a job you need an qualification in whatever you do. Besides of that there are far to less ethical jobs out there, but what would be our world today with ethics.
In a good connected world I can imagine that people might remember the said in a Forum, like we remember notices from creators out of books. Such thing affects ppl in decades and centuries, so I don´t see that as a personal advert for a job! ;) Also because the meaning of every word changes for every generation in every place, king&war or money doesn´t mean the same for us what it may be meant to our grants...
10) Sounds a bit like a dream, but dreams are there to gone true or what. If you and the community are able to put that in a well organized platform, it may happen. But because were in Crypto I don´t like the," hey throw money at me and it will happen a wonder" slipslop, its sounds a bit like that.
At all its all to unclear written to take that serious..I don´t see a need to pay a fee to register myself to be able to tell someone about something I also could have done so...Drives us only down to old shemes.
But I will look what it will become, a biased meaning is not justified, but how far has our world come if people must constant check if its possible to trust...?

1) yes, several different coins.
2) 2013, probably June ish? It was LTC, and it was less than $2
3) yes

4) no
5) B. I'm an investor, not a trader. I prefer to keep my money in potentially worthwhile long term things

6) sure!
7) also sure

8 ) there's a glut of junk coins, most of which are just fresh excuses for people to keep running their overpriced gpus. I love seeing certain coin communities try (try) to gather support for charities, make their mining processes beneficial or interesting in some way, or service a unique subculture
9) color me skeptical.
10) color me even more skeptical. But I would like to hear about how that would be carried out, out of curiosity

1) Yes
2) February 2013
3) Yes
4) Not usually
5) I dont see A or B as being exclusive categories but I choose B. If an alt offers innovation, and has committed devs and support it likely will "go to the moon" just not as fast as a P&D coin.
6) No
7) Probably not. I've got enough entertainment, etc. in my life.
8) I mainly use alts to stay up on the latest innovation in cryptos and for investment/trading. If a new coin is related to a game or social networking or something, I will trade it, but I don't have time for more gaming or social networking etc.
9) yes I now considered that ;)
10) A lot of people involved with cryptos are wary of scams. I wonder what it will look like in practice and worry it might feel to ponzy-like depending on how it's done.

Quick update 3/9/2014
FYI: If you think this thread is about preparing to launch "great new coins" and we will rush to get the first one out "to raise money for other projects", then you were not paying close attention to the survey.



CoinPayments.net is shutting down (at least for a while)

From their site:
The shutdown will happen in 3 stages:

    We will stop accepting new user registrations effective immediately.
    We will stop processing new transactions at 11:59:59 PM EST on March 24, 2014 (transactions already in progress at that time will be completed).
    The website will otherwise remain operational until 11:59:59 PM EST on March 31st, 2014 when it will be shut down.


I was planning to join and they shut the door:
1) Does anyone know of a functional site (up and running w/ a good reputation) that allows people to easily accept a (medium to) long list of alt coins?
2a) Does anyone have a CoinPayments.net account which they are not using, and are willing to give away?
2b) After a quick read of their terms, I didn't see anything against transferring an account to someone else.
2c) This will help with accepting payments (until the 24th) and start paying you for the survey ASAP.

If you have one which you are not using please PM me w/ the login details, thank you.
