i think not, everyone can create his own altcoin, being a newbie doesn't change much if you know what you are doing, and have a basic code experience, just try to be innovative and think out of the masses, maybe add a new algo and new features, that make your coin not a clone, but offer something unique

i think that dash took the throne of litecoin, mining is more decentralized than bitcoin, because x11 asic are a new thing, and dash coem with betetr efatures like anonymity and masternodes, i see dash as an enhanced ltiecoin, i still don't like they did with the swap from darkcoin, and its instamine

zcash have a very high emission rate now, look at the block time and reward, and value, the emission is crazy high, 10 coins x 576 block day x 0.05 btc each one, this is almost 300 btc per day and only etheruem have a higher rate than this, but the value of zcash isn't that high, in fact zcash is not among the first 10 coins on coinmarketcap and only with 66M of marketcap

i can give you an idea how to invest in new altcoin, first look only for new launched altcoin, if you want to invest cheap, bacause they have no value, and this make them more convenient you can buy many with just 0.01, then you wait for the pump, this pump happen very fast after the coins is listed on an exchange, when the coin is pumped 2x above the MINING PROFIT, you can sell for a good return

no there is not , and it's better if you don't keep all your coins, there but keep only the one you need for trading, to ensure that at least the majority are safe, and exchange do not give away their private address, physical address can't do anything to prevent your coins from being stolen i'm sorry, one thing you might do is putting 2fa and strong password, if they hack the database they still need to hack the password i think, and this should put a second layer of protection at least

dev could easily add this to novaexchange, i see they add many coin for free, i'm sure picoin can be added also

ah you need another program, so what is about the extension needed? i see that it can be used with an extension on chrome or firefox, lt look very confusing why not integrating it in the wallet?

i didn't understand correctly how to mine, where i need to post "http://mining.cayafuture.com/my_address"? if i put the url + my address it say not found

i don't know about komodo, but it's just a dagger coin with nothing really new that is not on ETH already instead, can i suggest HLM? it's a new coin that will be released soon and it's based on dash but with a new gpu algorithm, if you have spreadcoin the swap will be 1:1 with Helium(HLM), decred also was not mentioned here, i think it's a good coin with a good roadmap

i'm wondering if there is any point for these coins to have segwit, are they aware what segwit is about? i don't remember these coins have all the capacity problem that is affecting bitcoin, segwit will not do anything to help them grow for now, they lack the users base which is more important than their block limit, and they block limit is for now fine

coinmarketcap is not reliable, because many shit coin have low buyers support but their cap is high because they have a very big supply, but they are still worthless, the algorithm that display the top listed coins there should be reworked correctly, with more filtering to show the correct top 10

but coins that go to yobit while the wallet is in maintanance, aren't lost on my experience they are just delayed after you deposit, you need to wait for them to fix the wallet, and they get your coins credited after that, at least this what happened to me with veltor last time, but if they are delisting maybe it's better to avoid deposit

maybe it has a correlation with BU going back to 35% instead of 40%, and after all litecoin don't need segwit it's perfectly fine with the current state of the block limit

why all this big dump, are the pos miners dumping their amount? i want to ask also another thing, were is the dev address with his 800k coins, i want to know if he dumped something or not after the last pump, because the value tanked so much, and another question i noticed that the reward per ticket for the pos, is going down, is this going to zero in the end?

i just follow this https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1326821.0, there is a good almost complete list that you can check if you feel unsafe choosing one site you don't known, always worked for me

isn't nvidia going to release new remake of their pascal line-up? i see they are called 2070 and 2080, maybe a monster called 2080ti also? all the website say that the specs show that the gpu are 10% faster than current pascal, could be worth to wait for that before buying, but the real game changer will be volta for nvidia and high end polaris for amd, still a long way to go for that

i'm only aware of freebico.in, this is the best faucet with the best reward, and nice addition like a ticket that you cna buy to win the jackpot, or a dice game, all these generate points that you can sell to have more bitcoin, but the reward for the points exchange is low

you can't collect bitcoin for free, or you are a scammers, but you can make 1 btc in a month, it's not that hard if you know what to do, like trading or mining, if you choose the correct altcoin to buy or to mine, you can go up to 1 btc per month, but you need to invest to have your 1 btc per month, if you can't invest the only way is signature campaign, but it won't make you 1 btc per month

maybe he sound wrong with that statement but i think he mean that if everyone hold a portion of bitcoin, maybe not a full bitcoin but a smaller amount, for example 7 billion need 0.003 each one, but another point to note is that with all the coins that were lost you can need to divide even more to have everyone have his fair amount of coins

it's pretty simple dude, you just create a thread in the announcement altcoin section and do a nice and clean front, first post must explain in detail all the specs of your coins and the roadmap, and source plus windows wallet must always be present, if you want a fair launch you need to set first 100 block to zero, and add a counter so everyone know when the coin will be launched
