None.
I'm perfectly happy with bitcoin and I find its fluctuation manageable. But altcoins generally not just suffering from bitcoin's fluctuation but fluctuations on their own because most of them are heavily manipulated.

I believe Monero has the best chance given enough years.
Considering how rapidly crypto is changing, I think it's safe to say Monero will be both obsolete and irrelevant in a few years. I think if anything is going to reach parity with bitcoin it will be something completely new. Nothing on coinmarketcap is new. Even if you take all the best features of the top coins and put them into a new coin, it won't be enough to challenge bitcoin because all those features together are nowhere near worth replacing what's been working solidly. Besides, altcoins are still being traded to- and from FIAT through bitcoin so I can't really see any of them reaching parity with bitcoin when they can't even get rid of bitcoin's fluctuation. |

59% premine ICO... next!
did you even math? 10% is ICO, the rest PoW over 5 years. 59% for the first 50k blocks (~34 days), my bad there but it's still the same shit. |

The 290/x series were designed to operate at up to 95c at which point the fan ramps up to whatever your maximum threshold is and once it reaches whatever you set the maximum to it starts downclocking to stay under 95c. AMD said they were perfectly alright operating at those temperatures. That was what they were engineered to do. That doesn't apply to 280/x series though. The conception that it's 'too hot' is based on what people know about other GPUs besides those.
For gaming but not for 24/7 heavy use. |

countmycrypto.com is decent or there's cryptotrack.com but I haven't tried that one but I think the best is to setup and maintain a google spreadsheet with APIs pulling data.

Any group who can pump BTC can already make a killing without altcoins. Sure, they could probably make more but it would also take more money to do so.

I strongly recommend high fan settings for anyone that can afford the extra noise that this will cause. Modern day GPUs can certainly run very hot without any trouble, heck, the 980 specifications allow for 98C temperatures, however, with cards at full load for prolonged periods of time (aka, mining), higher temperatures will simply cause higher failure rates.
Failure rates vary greatly, and everyone's experience is their own. In any case, with lower average temperatures, one should expect less failures over time. For most of us, I think we tend to replace the hardware (upgrade, new toys, etc) before the GPUs fail definitively - but there's certainly exceptions now and then.
My "hot" 980 runs 80% fan, and the "cold" one 70% fan (both reference cooler designs), and both of them sit at 70C (+/-2) temperatures while hashing non stop. I think that 80C is perfectly ok for these cards, but if you can run them cooler, all the better.
Note that a lot of the GPU failures are caused by VRMs running too hot (most times, they are much hotter than the GPU core itself). Cards with backplates should do better in this respect, but only slightly.
Happy mining heating!
The reported temperature of the GPU is coming from the core itself and there are usually no temperature sensors on the Mosfets/VRMs which always have higher temperatures as they are not directly connected to the heatsink (some cards do have additional sensors there which you can read with GPU-Z). Granted, these modules also have a higher maximum operating temperature than the core itself but their lifespan is based on the operating temperature and the duration at those temperatures. If you haven't, I recommend picking up a cheap infrared thermometer to see for yourself. A 750 Ti running at 60°C at 70-80% fan speed will still have VRM temperatures around 70-80°C depending on design (how much air gets to the parts) and overclock. Which is perfectly fine but if your core is running at 80-90°C the temperature of the VRM/Mosfets might be so high that they will probably fail within a few years. This site is for motherboards but should give you an idea about estimating VRM lifespan: http://event.asus.com/mb/5000hrs_vrm/ |

Obviously none of them. If you think otherwise you're not in touch with reality.

The timing of the btctalk crash was very unfortunate for the coin but hopefully things will pick up.

You certainly can but the only thing you'll likely achieve is reducing the lifespan of your laptop with all the heat while it would probably take like weeks to earn as much as a beer.

Whatever exchange will add it first, please people don't sell it cheap. The block reward decreases every 12.5 hours or so and the PoW period will end within 3 days so if enough people can keep themselves from dumping it low until then the price could climb pretty high.
that is risky mate, i would advise play safe and why to take risk  Well, I'm the seemingly rare type of miner that rather hold coins and watch them die than to sell them for a slice of pizza worth of profit. But occasionally this approach pays really really well. |

Why not wait for an exchange lol
I prefer selling some of my coins cheap so my electricity is covered even if it won't hit an exchange. what price and method of exchange, r u planning to use escrow or what? I usually don't bother with escrow. We generally just agree on multiple small payments and send one after the other. |

Do you have a 280X configuration file? No, I don't have ATI/AMD cards however the cryptomining-blog guys included 2 bat files, the quark one: set GPU_MAX_ALLOC_PERCENT 100
set GPU_USE_SYNC_OBJECTS 1
sgminer.exe -k quarkcoin -o stratum+tcp://stratum.nicehash.com:3345 -u 14vZ4DHDzhttzKyNAmLzpRq6VLmCGb16vX -p d=0.5 --intensity 18 --worksize 64 -g 2 |
