Title: Which alt coins will die off in 2014?
Post by: Notanon on December 06, 2013, 12:27:35 PM
My list

Terracoin: Poor market support, only really seems to be mined for speculative trading for other coins, has been the repeated victim of ASIC difficulty attacks, pretty much on life support now.
Megacoin: The hype surrounding it will evaporate as fast as a bucket of water in a hot furnace and will lose value fast, particularly as more people learn of its early questionable history.
Mincoin: With MCXnow on the ropes and no other major exchanges supporting it, will probably be taken out the back and shot.
Bytecoin: Pretty much dead now, but will have the final nail in the coffin hammered in soon.
Starcoin: Dead in the water at the moment, nil chances of revival.
Bitbars/CryptogenicBullion/etc: Seriously have nothing to add to the table apart from artificial rarity, don't even seem to be used for direct purchasing of goods or services.
Feathercoin: Locked into a battle to the death with parent Litecoin at the moment, but Litecoin's momentum will be too much and the death blow will be swift and brutal.

Once again I am wont to express a wish that Quarkcoin as it is gets massively devaluated and eventually dies off or gets reloaded with a minting scheme closer to the ones of XPM or PPC.


Of other coins, I see FTC, TRC and MNC one of the most obvious candidates for "ded" next year.

OP could add a lot more coins to that list. Most alts should die in 2014, but i dont think FTC and MEC will be among them.

True, but there are that many though it'd take a while to list them all and the reasons why, hence I chose a few high profile ones to start the topic with and let everyone else add to it. ;)

This thread needs a pool option.

I hope TRC will die finally, more than deserved.

All the coins not listed on any profitability comparison site will die as most miners will switch to pools that only mine whats most profitable (obv, as its the natural habit of money circulation)

None, because floodgates of fiat inflation open in 2014.

OP may not have read this thread before adding CryptogenicBullion to list

Agree with everything else.
