Worldcoin is number one at 15sec and BTC is the slowest at 10min. The only reason BTC is popular is that it was the first crypto coin to take off, so it had years to establish itself without competition, if a coin like BTC was launched today it wouldn't get a look in against the other coins Interesting claim... never thought about that. Aragami and Anderl look a bit similar dont they? =) Lol, oh yea, sorry.. wrong guy  |

WorldCoin seems to really have potential for a long term hold.
I hear the dev's are working on a thin/mobile wallet as we speak.
Some websites already accepting WDC as payment.
It's all speculation this early, but we shall see, but I put my bet on WDC.
proof? Aragami, I was referring to the first service launched http://www.igotspots.com/Worldcoin.html |

Poor Phenixcoin... well maybe if they had spelled it correctly, it may have had a better chance (kidding) |

Well I spent more than 24 hours there and it wasn't getting better. When I switched to the new pool I as getting ~85% of the coins the calculators show. So even accounting for orphans, overly optimistic calculators, etc., a 25% improvement in coins is well worth the switch; sometimes the grass is greener.
Well if you don't mind jumping your miners around a lot. Problem is, sometimes you might jump around while the place you just left becomes more efficient. It usually all evens out in the end, just make sure the pool is transparent and DDOS proof, and I'm not sure p2p is. |

Worldcoin has flaws though, the client software is based on Bitcoin which was not designed to store and work with the volume of blocks that Worldcoin generates. The client software needs modifying. I'm glad the Dev's aren't absent like CNC. That guy was like a ghost. Can't believe btc-e took it on so quickly. |

Reminds me of how women think the grass is greener in other pastures It's all luck guys, in 24 hours it would be the other way around. You need to choose a high bandwidth, DDOS protected pool with transparency and features. Sorry but erundook's pools are far superior to what else I've seen in the end.  |

I have used this guys pool from royalcoin days and I only got 50% of what I should make. I switched to another pool and immediate makes double of what I got. I thought it maybe just a config issue and since I didn't spend much time on it, I wasn't 100% sure. Well, this guys' WDC pool is the same. This time I was on it for 16 hours. CGminer reported double what he reports (valid+invalid shares). Now I tried to cashout, it's not working. Definitely a SCAM. This guy should be labeled as a SCAMMER
Mr Right, you really should rename the subject on this thread. I know erundook and he is the last guy that would ever scam someone; bends over backward to help people. And I've been here since 2011. If you encountered an issue, you need to ask him to address it or help, not resort to slandering someones reputation. |

Really? WorldCoin has proven this? Which other coin has had an entire mining pool mining on an orphan blockchain for more than 300 consecutive blocks? The problems were reported by miners; no one lost coins in transactions, at least none were reported. Also, the pool that took over the blockchain (erundook's) was at about 90% of the hash power since pools just started popping up and his was the most popular at the moment. Ask him. Fortunately, we are down to only one issue which the OP didn't bring up (powpow did) and that is, will traders lose coins. I'd say 300 blocks was a good test for that. |

There hasn't been any report of anyone 'losing coins' this way, except for mining orphans, which is to expected of any crypto. Even bitcoin has orphans. +1 Thousands of transfers so far, no report of lost coins during transactions.. only miner issues. And network was near 1/4 of LTC rate. But I understand the op's concern now powpow, thx. |

You can most certainly get Silver at spot prices online all day every day. I have literally 1000 ounces of the shit that I've bought in the last year all online...ebay alone was half of my purchasing
Don't get me wrong, I think coins -> metals is the future, I even had a post about it a few days ago. I'm just saying, don't spread misinformation
Id like to see a retailer or wholesaler where I can purchase silver coins at spot price. I will make it my new place to buy. If you have any available sites that you purchase from please post it or PM me or both (since I rarely go back and check thread I post in) I buy the green "monster" boxes from the mint all the time and I have never gotten silver coins at the troy ounce market spot price. One time I was able to buy below spot but it was a private sale (pre-estate sale) and I purchased just over 700 coins in total and paid cash. That was also before the 2008 crash (before people got worried again) Unfortunately, you'll never hear from him. He couldn't produce dealers for me either since they don't exist. And to compare new minted silver bullion to old mystery coins on ebay is like a used car salesmen trying to heckle a dealership that you can buy a car for so much less than retail. Apples and oranges my friend  |

If vendors accept a coin with a short block time(like Worldcoin), it wouldn't matter how frustrated the miners got for overwhelming the network with a huge hash rate.
Traders would still trade, holders would still spend and vendors would still convert; regardless of the miners.
The death of a coin is going to depend on the adoption and infrastructure.
One can always see this as a way to discourage too many miners from throwing hashes at the network, and if there is a major acceptance of such a coin due to marketing, promotion, new software and speed.. then it will gain value and the miners will be the only ones with a problem, that is, only if they overwhelm the network.

I saw someone mention an upcoming blockchain problem with WDC. Anyone know any details on that?
Just that their 15 second target blocks, is a little ridiculous. I thought ChinaCoin was ridiculous with their 1 minute blocks. But world-coin outdid them here. Having such short timeframe for blocks creates a lot of inconsistencies, and keeps difficulty lower than it should be.. For a block found in 15 seconds, it may not even get broadcast to the whole network before the next 15 seconds are up. I'm not sure but it could be why there was a major alt-pool which ran on a dead blockchain for 300 blocks in a row on WDC. I think ultimately the fact that they chose such a short block time signifies they had no idea what they were doing in making their alt, and it will inevitably be the end for the coin in the long run. But, enjoy it today, while its reigning #1 on coinchoose.com. If it has a marketplace and vendor that accept it, it won't matter how frustrated on overwhelming number of miners are. If infrastructure is built, demand will rise. For all we know, the Dev could have intended on discouraging too many miners from mining then dumping the WDC network. |

I think if I owned that exchange, I might be concerned that I brought on CNC too early/easily and would be kicking myself now. But only because too many currencies might make my exchange look bad. Perhaps they should have the main exchange area with the top X number of coins, and then a separate section to trade the minor coins. And as a coin does poorly over a long time period, it could get moved to a third area.. like the dying coins area to eventually fall off the face of the earth if it's success did not soon turn around. Just an idea. |

Now this isn't about CNC specifically.
It's just an example of an alt coin that has absolutely no community support, no dev and no speculative future.. but yet remains on an exchange.
So two scenarios:
1.
An exchange can leave an alt coin on their site forever.
It gets pumped/dumped between .0005 - .0015 until the end of time.
Yet too many coins clutter their site and make them look greedy and unprofessional.
2.
I haven't seen a second scenario yet since I am unaware of any alt coin that has been removed from a bigger exchange such as BTC-e.
Please enlighten me; your thoughts?

Hear hear, OP  I really hope Worldcoin will have some future, love the fast transaction time and the 8 hour retarget. I won't be panicselling my WDC, keep it alive! +1 and Holding. With the amount of support Worldcoin seems to have, it will be the only alt coin (today) to contend with LTC/FTC. I see a lot of FTC members changing teams they put money in because they have a shitloads of coin, ftc has been good at marketing since the beginning, do you need caps lock and color to understand?
I personally put a lot of cash in, not coins. FTC doesn't seem as great at marketing these days, and it may be slightly harder to market feathers than to market Worldcoins. |

what a desperate act, can you post what virus you detected? there are thousands people have this client, let people check independently.
Liar, and everyone knows it
Now kr4x has to delete his entire Sr. Member profile and start all over again |

kr4x, stop while you are ahead and just delete the whole thread before it gets another 400 views |

Last desperate attempt to help GLD kr4x? Trolls just kill credibility for themselves by trolling so hard. It's almost comical to read your trollversations. I'm sorry that GLD is listed under "new mainly spam" currency in the main alt directory, but come on... your accusations are completely empty.
