Plus you're about the 9 millionth person to come in here offering bitcoin stickers and t-shirts...

True facts. Plus denominating the price in mBTC helps make the price swings seem less wild. Moving a couple cents up or down in a day seems a lot less unnerving than moving ten or twenty dollars in a day.

Personally, I'm looking forward to dollar parity with uBTC.

BitcoinTalk is rife with trolls and market manipulators. Really, don't take your trading advice from the forums.

Honestly, it looks like either an individual or a group of individuals with a lot of bitcoin decided to spark a panic sell-off in order to slowly buy back their coins (plus some extra) at a lower rate. This is something that happens from time to time. I expect the price to eventually rebound, though from where I couldn't say.

Thanks!

I am intrigued and a little skeptical. Notify me when you have technical details available. And for the giveaway, because why not?

I don't think there will just be one, since each currency addresses slightly different needs.

Bitcoin has far more name recognition and a lot more money behind it. That counts for a lot, and I don't think we'll see it go away anytime soon.

I like PPCoin a lot for its PoS system, though I admit I only found out about it today and haven't gotten a chance to delve into the technical details yet. But if it works the way it's supposed to, then it's a very novel, efficient approach that could result in a much more robust, scalable network than any of the other currencies enjoy. However, it looks like the developer hasn't done a very good job of getting other people on board, which puts it at risk. I also hate the name. It's hard enough asking people if they accept bitcoin. No way in hell am I ever saying, "Do you accept pee-pee coin?"

Seriously, I think I'd readily switch to a PPCoin knock-off if it meant I didn't have to use something called PPCoin. Call it PeerCoin, maybe, but PPCoin? Good god.

Anyway...

LiteCoin seems to be a crowd favorite, what with the faster deployment and faster transactions. I'm not particularly excited by it, but I keep seeing it called "the silver to Bitcoin's gold." That's pretty strong psychological ground to take. It'll probably be around for a while.

NameCoin will probably be around for a while too. It can be merge-mined, and it's the only decentralized DNS system I've seen. I'm pretty happy about that, and I really want to see it do well because of it. Of course, I do tend to think of it more as a DNS system than as a currency. I don't know if we'll ever see it used primarily as a currency, which is fine. That's not the problem it's trying to solve anyway.

[EDIT]
Derp. Reading more about NovaCoin. Am no longer 100% certain it's a scam. PPCoin without the PP...?

Thanks!

Except most of the people using fiat don't think of it like that.

You're conflating transaction volume with price. 10 times our current number of transactions per block is not the same thing as 10 times the current price.

It's just an abstract . Hence the "ABSTRACT" prefix.

Your link is broken. You meant to link to http://www.jerviss.org/bitcointalk.org/2011_08_04/

So where'd you find it?

Agreed. Ultimately that slew of "OMG, RETURNS OF 3,000%" articles did us more harm than good. We were thrown out into the limelight too soon. But I suppose it was a sorely needed learning experience. When we return, it'll be with a much better infrastructure.

D'oh!

Address would be great, too.

Sweet action. Whereabouts?

What store is this? Wouldn't be in Oregon, would it?

Lots of opportunities for lucky/skilled speculators, it sounds like.
