Right now it's hard to predict what is going to happen. The chances that Bitcoin loses its dominance are small indeed.
And luckily we also start to see some development in the direction to not let Bitcoin fall behind.
But Bitcoin is getting old and some of the younger coins are built with stronger architecture (better block times, bigger or var-sized blocks, maybe anonymous..).
Right now the power of Bitcoin stays in the huge number of miners behind it. But that started to split. Bitcoin <Whatever> coins are forked from Bitcoin promising to fix this and that. Miners are lured in various directions. Some fear centralization and the Chinese miners. Some started giving up mining because it's not profitable enough. Will the hash power start declining? We don't know now. But that is too a possible future.
However, today Bitcoin has indeed no competition... yet.

Va salut,
Vesti proaste! Treaba cu firma nu a functionat. Cu toate ca am primit ok-ul ca putem retrage banii din "farming" prin ING Bank se pare ca toate platile facute din monedele virtuale nu mai sunt acceptate, sunt luate in vizor si nu sunt procesate. Am incercat pana acum la 3 banci renumite si peste tot am fost refuzati ca sa putem face tranzactii pe firma. Inca cautam solutii de a retrage banii legal din cryptocurrency.....
Imi pare rau sa aud asta. Legal sau nu, cu taxele la zi sau nu, tot la cheremul bancilor suntem... Scrisese acum mai multe luni cineva ca va discuta cu bancile sa le explice, sa ajungem in rand cu lumea, si cumva sperasem ca a reusit si ca tu vei confirma ca ceva a inceput sa mearga. Se pare ca nu e cazul  |

This kind of topics seem to have the opposite effect on the market.
lets be honest this type of topic has zero effect on the market either way Touché  However, I've found it interesting that such a dump happened today. They're not so often on the Litecoin market. Buy yes, you are right, 99.99% of the cases the market doesn't care of these posts. |

This kind of topics seem to have the opposite effect on the market.  Somebody seems to have dumped 100k+ LTC since you started this topic. And today Litecoin is indeed perceived as an old coin with no perspective. If today somebody would make such a coin, with only changed algo and not much more features than Bitcoin, it would be labelled as shitcoin. Yes, it has a background of miners, but much smaller than Bitcoin. Unless some innovation breakthrough happens in LTC, it is slowly dying imho. I don't know why you compare it with ETH. ETH is seen by many as a speculation-only coin. The good/lucky part with ETH that there are new coins using it, making the market have a pretty constant demand. Let's see how long will that last... However, ETH should not have a place in the discussion about LTC, they are far too different. |

What kind of features are HOT right now?
What's needed in the altcoin scene is innovation. Anonymous coins are still being created. Making a coin have fast transaction or getting listed on exchanges will work for a few pumps. But most of the coins are clones of clones. Bring something new and let people decide if the new things you thought of are indeed useful. And get some good marketing team. Else the new coin will be lost in the sea of altcoins, whether the coin was good or not. |

Hello and welcome! It all depends on the CPU you actually have. If yours is new enough and has AES_NI capabilities, Joblo's miner may be a good choice (and you can actually discuss with the developer in case of troubles) : https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1326803.0I have an old CPU and when I mine XMR I use an older miner (Tsiv's). It all depends on your CPU. Also the pools use to link a few miners, you can try those out too. You will need to do a couple of tests by yourself to see what goes better for your configuration. I don't know if linux or windows is better though... whatever x64 should do, linux is considered to be safer. |

It has a good chance to get to 800$ and stay there.
But it's pretty hard to say, since it recently has a nice grow, so first it may fall a little.
I still think (or hope) it will reach 800$.

Please let me know if you still need Romanian translation of the ANN.
If so, I will try to make it today or tomorrow.

Is bounty compaign dead?  The first line of the main post tells that it's at least paused. And I don't really expect to unpause it after the recent troubles, so you can consider it "dead". The signature campaign ended too today, so it may be that Mandica ended the promotions, at least for now. |

And it arrived! And it looks even better than in the pictures. I just love it! Many many thanks Smoothie, you made me a wonderful surprise!  |

Payments have been sent to those who qualified. You may now remove your sigs. Payment received, thank you Yahoo62278 for your work in this and thank you Mandica, good luck with the ICO. |

it is never easy to say an altcoin is scam and flag it just like that. you can only be like 80% sure because if an altcoin was clearly scam (100% sure) that altcoin wouldn't last a second and its price would have gone down to zero and possibly exchanges would have de-listed it immediately.
and the flags coinmarketcap has like the massive premine i think is enough and the rest is up to the user to investigate and find out.
and i know it is not easy to do among all these massive number of coins but if you love your money you would do it.
I think that more flags the better. Even some "experimental" "hunch" flags could be useful, but some will say it's manipulation. Not easy for such sites, I know... Wishful thinking and what can be done cannot always be matched.. If coinmarkercap can't say (even with a good margin of error) that some coin is scam or not, for others, less experienced, it is even harder. |

I also believe it's flooded. Many people just stay away of altcoins - meaning ALL altcoins - because of this.
While coinmarketcap should have some more strict criterias (or red flags?), it's hard to tell in various stages that this or that coin is scam/shitcoin. Especially in case of ICO: some just have great gfx and roadmap, but don't deliver.

Yeah it sounds more like a way to force users to remove those coins
It looks more like a "strategy" to send away the users. Maybe they have seen that too many Doge/Nmc stay unused on cold storage and there's a chance to seize some for the upcoming Christmas presents. Not nice. |

You are right, he would have need help at promoting. All you said is clear and common sense, but needs work. A campaign manager would have done that. Also more tweets that don't just look like a countdown, shinier gfx, more info without too much text.. I don't know...hire somebody that's good at this. This is now a promotin done by a dev.. or it looks like one... I will have to go through all the Twitter accounts
I lived with the impression that I had to make only 2 original tweets / week. (The retweets should be Ok). I am fixing that now, but if this is not OK please pm me the address where to transfer back one (or both ) payments for the twitter campaign. |

Poloniex and Bittrex are the "must-have". They are big, they have very good volumes, the chance to find scam or dying coins there is small.
For variation, for "smaller" coins that didn't get to the bigger exchanges, Cryptopia and C-Cex are also pretty fine (just the volumes are usually boring).

They will ban nothing. They will do as usual: spread "news", do the "wait and see" game as long as possible and when they will see that there's no harm in blockchain (excepting that it may get some money off the banks and imho that's why the ban is asked for) they will go for "facilitative or catalyst approach".
Of course, the banks will try to make EU politicians ban blockchain, for various reasons.
And of course, we will have to say it loud that we support the blockchain.
