Let's write here your biggest profit of altcoins. What amount of money you started with and what amount you have now? A little story everyone. Personally I started with 100usd, but still no profit after 3months. Now I'm stuck with Cloak.

I mined bitcoin when wasnot worth but sold 500 btc in a year and regret it . :'(

I got .71 BTC from stellar at their first launch giveaway. i made many fake accounts to do that :D

Still no so much.
0.5 BTC per month was the biggest earning.
Still hoping to increase my profit :)

hey how did u do that .5 per month?

My biggest profit on altcoins was around -14%, when I bought Doge at the top, some days before its reaward halving. Bought around 290, sold around 250.

Only time I've  played with alts, since then only Litecoin, before the falling into sub 10 zone, and Bitcoin.

0.015btc investment to 0.065btc with FIMKs.
I don't remember them exact amounts but they were something like that.
Nice more than 300% profit 8)
It sucks I didn't invest more though.

How much did you get for your 500 btc?

From a purely percentage based perspective, the two coins I probably made the most on were either NEM or Groupcoin. NEM was a .1 btc investment, sold at a bit over 2 btc. Groupcoin was .04 btc, turned into a little over 1 btc. So 20-25x increase.

That's not counting completely free coins, like comm, itc and such... which were basically just free btcs.

I bought SSD when it first came out. Made .5 from it so far. It's still cheap and it on the front page of bittrex ;) Get it while it's cheap  ;D

Eh.. MEOW coin.. bought less than 1 satoshi and sold for 140 or so satoshi..
Made around around 2  btc or so.

I made about 7 bitcoins when doges come out and they hit their first peak, then I have lost almost all of them with wrong trades...

Probably about 3 or 4 BTC. All of it got sucked away when the price of alts dropped. Kept re-investing. My own fault for not setting some aside.

many of you have earned on IPO coins?  :D

I have traded with NEXT on bter! I started with ca 0,5 BTC and now almost 10  ;)

Bought 10,000 WLD (http://www.world-dollar.com) for just 1 XRP (0.006 USD), now they're worth 0.01 BTC (5.04 USD) in just over a week.

Huge profit in % terms :) even if not $ terms. Need to buy more WLD now while they're still cheap.

ltc for sure. bought many just before they went from ~4 to 50 dollars.

I have quite a bit and I'm very tempted to sell it,  hodling helps in some cases.

Mining startup altcoins that are verified and is running on trading platforms like btc-e at low difficulty could make you a decent profit.I once made around $600 profit as I bought litecoins worth $1800 and while the price was $2 per coin and sold them onto btc-e having such profit while it peaked.

started 6 months ago
invested nothing
got some sathoshis in giveaways
reinvested them
and today i have 3btc :p

I invested 0.01BTC and 0.4 BTC profit from Libertycoin ;D

Auroracoin, one of my biggest profits and my biggest downfall.

I invested 15 BTC in the pump (all I had at the time), watched it go to 18 BTC, and sold  in the morning at the mini-crash. Checked later on Cryptsy and saw that had I held it for another 6 hours, I would have made 40 BTC from my initial 15 BTC investment (incidentally, when it hit its all time high). I bought again when it crashed and had I sold at the top of the rebound I would have made 25 BTC at the top. Though for some unknown reason I didn't sell and I kept thinking it would go higher, eventually I watched my investment dwindle from 25 BTC to a mere 4 BTC as the market crashed within 2 days, all the while thinking that it would rebound. I've been rebuilding my BTC reserves ever since that.

TL;DR - Invested 15 BTC in Auroracoin, could have made 40 BTC at its high, ended up with only 4 BTC after the crash.

Made 1 btc investing in XRM in the early days.

Loss around 0.3 btc and cut my loss on the downtrend.

I got 1.5 BTC from stellar at their first launch giveaway. i made many fake accounts to do that  :D

I invested 0.01 BTC on Latium when it was brand new and to date I have earned over 2.5BTC from them and still earning daily from the 100 level downline that now has over 10,500 referrals in it.  8)

Did it all with real referrals not fake ones  ;)

LOL i know how it feels. Although not as huge as your loss I bought 6 aurora at 30$ - worst bet ever :)

My best bet was dogecoin and Mona coin tho i sold mona very low... it wouldve been worth 1 btc a day...

Biggest profit in altcoins: bought LTC at 0.005, sold around 0.027-0.032.

Made about 100 BTC profit. Those were the halcyon days of early 2013. *memories*

i'm not invested in anythink  ;D ..
and stil got around 2BTC from Stellar and Latium  ;D

54k BTCD all acquired within first 48hrs listed on bittrex...

12k of it came from mining

piggycoin bought at 5 sato - sold at 220

thank you!

That was this year. Last year was quark and mec.

hope corgicoin comes back and i can sell for 10 satoshi what i bought for 1 and 2 litoshi.

My biggest profit was 0.4 from NFD.

Spent about $50 on Doge around 1-10 satoshis, I bought them up from 1-3 on coinedup when they first hit the exchange. Sold near the peak a happy trader :)

Same situation I sold all for less than 100 dollars each

I'm not one to show off but I guess the story could inspire some traders here -

Made 127 BTC off nxt and this is when the price of BTC was above 800.

Buying from the early guys, I managed to amass almost 1.5 million NXT and sold all of it very close to the top, this was because I mostly forgot that I owned NXT at all (people were selling nxt really cheap on this forum before it hit exchanges) I don't think I spent more than 1 btc on the whole stash I managed to acquire so I wasn't really even paying attention to nxt after a week, I would have sold a lot earlier if I was).

So one day I was being lazy, scratching my balls and looking at the BTC stash I'd managed to amass in 2013, how the dollar price was now so damn high, smiling and being very content with myself.. then I decided to check coinmarketcap for any interesting coin movements and saw nxt very close to the top, this was when I remembered that I hold over a million of these coins, as you can Imagine, I sold everything I had slowly over the next two days so as not to dip the price, I also traded fluctuations and only pulled out when I started losing - which is normally my sign to exit the market fast.

No other coin has made me any gains (percentage-wise) even relatively close to this from such a small investment.. made really good money off darkcoin for example but I also had to invest/risk a lot of BTC which I hate doing.

Things have changed drastically since last year though, I notice that things move very fast in the crypto community, I've never come across these kinds of gains again and I'm pretty sure it's damn near impossible now with all the new alt coin websites that add coins the day they are released.. last year, most alt coin trading was actually done on this forum first before the coins ever hit exchanges and there were not that many coins being released or so many exchanges to add them, so the gains were always huge if you bought the right alt coin.

That's my story guys, good luck and enjoy the game.

Purchased XDN at 5 sat, sold at 18 sat, made 5 BTC, thanks to a tip from Toknormal.

I rarely trade now, made too many losses as a n00b.

My largest earning was on a $10-20 investment into IFC back in 2013 when btc was worth about  $100

Originally I started with BTC1 but ended up cashing out $90 at slight loss or gain shortly after. If memory serves correctly I bought about 90 million IFC at the price of 0.00000010 to 0.00000020 LTC (10-20 litecoin satoshi) in July of 2013. A further 10-15M was mined within the first 3 months after launch.  Of which 80-90M was sold within 2 months

Due to the appreciation of all three coins BTC, LTC and IFC by December of 2013 the remaining 10M IFC was worth $1,000 which was promptly sold to buy Christmas gifts.

The only other time I've even come close to earning $1,000 is bitcoin or altcoin was believe it or not on 3 accidental primedice bets. It was late at night and I'd been betting for a number of hours. For whatever unknown reason the bet reset to BTC1 instead of 1 satoshi which ended up winning 3 times in a row for +BTC15 (at the time worth about $1,500) and losing another 5 times -BTC5 before realizing what happened.

This is my first time being on alcoin part of Forum. Will read and learn and then soon hopeful make some profit out of it.

Best win was with xmr, made approx 13 BTC from that, and I still think it will be one of the few coins to survive, so I will buy more to hold long term.

around 4 BTC profit from elite coin scam, i no longer invest more than 0.1BTC per coin for day trading so smaller profits and smaller losses with all the scams out there.

was with huntercoin, but i didn't sold..damn

quark is by far biggest pump ive ever seen, 21 satoshi to 30,000 in last november

was also the biggest instamined coin, if i remember correctly

no, wasn't instamined, I mined it for months on an i5, protoshares was instamined, I got 200 on the opening night (i5-3570k)
