i think if you want near instantaneous and at the same time a coin with fairly wide usage then as someone suggested above ETH is the way to go.

15 seconds or so block confirmation is really about as quick as a credit card confirmation=) Why 0 confirmation when you get security for 15 seconds?

Stop shilling ZeroConf, its secure, Poloniex and others have been testing it for along time, with ZERO issues.
On the other hand, we have just experienced how safe ETH is, remember the DAO?

Vcash (XVC) is the bleeding edge of crypto.

Its so cheap. Basically its just a community board of average quality.
You could build that on Joomla, or WP for a thousand users easily.

The I/O for the website is stored in a conventional database anyway, with some bo-peep middleware to steemd.
Shouldn't be too much of a hassle to migrate any CMS to such a model, some extension to run your own community coin.

But cudos for the multi layered Ponzi, I've seen more money been thrown at worse shit at the beginning of the internet hype.
And I still see the chance that some major feels the urge to pick it up.

This doesn't make sense - gold and silver markets are manipulated DOWNWARD, not upward. I believe this is done via "naked shorting" - currently the infrastructure to naked short bitcoin does not exist. If the Fed prints money to buy up gold or bitcoin, they make it more valuable, and thus more likely to be held.

You are talking about a different effect here.  The "naked shorts" imply a confusion between "paper gold" and genuine gold.  In fact, paper gold is like good ol' fractional banking.  As long as there is a "parity" between an once of paper gold, and of genuine gold, it seems as if this naked shorting is creating gold out of nothing and is causing inflation.  However, this is actually only inflation for paper gold.  When there's a lot of naked shorted gold (paper gold), it is the opportunity to acquire cheap physical gold, because when the bubble bursts, or when it deflates, the whole market cap of paper gold will go to physical gold.  
But this is not the action of the FED.  The action of the FED is to buy gold when it is expensive, and to sell gold when it is cheap.  That sounds like a crazy doctrine, because normally you lose when buying high, and selling low.  But if you can print money at will, that is no problem.  What happens when doing so, is that the FED increases the volatility of gold, and "stabilises" the paper dollar.  In doing so, it pumps effectively the held value in gold into the dollar.  When gold is expensive, its policy makes it even more expensive, meaning that people have to spend a lot of value on the little bit of gold they can acquire.  Later, when the gold price diminishes, the FED throws even more gold on the market, making the gold that people held, less worth, so that they can obtain much less value against it.
For any other agent, this would be a terribly lossy and expensive thing to do, but as the FED can print the money it likes (and is "backed" by the very stuff it is buying), it doesn't cost the FED ziltch doing so.

In fact, the naked shorting of gold counteracts the FED's manipulation.  I'm pretty sure they don't like it.

There's nothing that can stop the FED from doing exactly the same with bitcoin: buying it against printed dollars when it is high and selling it (absorbing dollars) when it is low, increasing its volatility.

The only thing that would make sense to kill bitcoin would be to "corner the market", which will be difficult for even the Fed, given that bitcoin has an $11 billion market cap right now. Remember also that as the USD price of bitcoin goes up, forex arbitrage opportunities present themselves...

Suppose the FED is willing to print $50 billion dollar to "own" bitcoin, what would be the problem ?  It could print 50 billion, buy up all bitcoin, which is then "backing" the printing of those $50 billion.  When the FED has bought 4/5 of all bitcoin, and people have been spending fortunes on the 1/5 that's left, the FED sells its stash of bitcoin all at once, crashing the price.  
All the value that people had been spending on acquiring that 1/5 of bitcoin is now gone (into dollars printed by the FED).

And the cycle can start over.

Value is pumped out of people wanting to store it in bitcoin.  Like value is pumped out of people wanting to store it in gold.


There is no naked shorting of Gold, thats BS.
 
Gold contracts are deliverable. like the US Tbond contract. But usually only a small fraction of Open Interest ends up in delivery. Because most longs in the futures don't want to get delivered anything. so they rollover their positions. Same with sellers. When there is a imbalance, arbitragers come in buy in the cash market and sell in the futures (or do the reverse). Usually arbitrage is a competitive (balance sheet intensive) business, and typically, depending on the cost of balance sheet usage, they would take such a position to make 5$ to 10$ per contract. The cash and futures market are linked by this arbitrage, and if there was a higher price discrepancy, within a few hours, or more likely minutes or seconds the price discrepancy would be closed due to some bank profiting from the arbitrage.

LOL, no naked shorting in Gold? Let me tell you, its naked by a ratio of almost 100:1.
Delivery is the exception, the vaults are empty.
The company controlling it is named "JP Morgan".
The COMEX is their playground, they do whatever they want to drive the price wherever they want.
Its totally rigged.

Correction, in May 2016 it was at a ratio of more than 500:1

Dan & I will not be powering down during the three month period after this is implemented.

Yes I saw that too. What about the Steem, Inc. account which has something like 40% of the money supply?

Thats the only reason I'm still holding STEEM. Because of that fact the company is still good for a buyout.

The new 0.4 nheqminer runs extremely well along with the 1.7.3 Nicehash Miner, although it crashes every once in a while still.
But never made as much with my rig as with that combo.

Cheap CPU, 2 cheap PSUs, 4 RX480 Nitro 4GB GPUs.

I lost coins there because a lot of forks appeared.
I guess they are ddosed constantly and don't do enough for mitigation.
Some experts said their system is wide open to attacks, punching out their wallets.

Can you elaborate? I'm not worried about losing coins because I don't store them on the pool. I have auto-payouts set for all the coins I mine with them.

How did you lose coins?

Their wallet forked, they mined on a new chain for 2 days, all these coins were lost (XVC).

If you are talking about GPU mining then NO its not. It needs to be properly coded to dual mine. And I think both algos are mem intensive.

Just try it, the Nicehash Windows nheqminer 0.3a and their standard miner, for BTC.
I was astonished how well it works. Win 8.1, latest Crimson drivers.

Its R9 290 TRIX and memory is at ~ 2GB now GPU 100%
3835  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Nicehash: Mine DaggerHash and Equihash together on: November 01, 2016, 11:02:07 AM
Yesterday I started the Nicehash Miner by accident, on top of the already running nheqminer, mining Equihash for BTC.
To my surprise they are going very well together. The rig does almost double the profit now, mining DaggerHash and Equihash together.

Check it out, its great!

I can help you to *swap* old coins of you, just for 1% percent of the amount.
Just send me wallet.dat or priv key of your old chunk address & deposit address of yours from altex.pw


Hello @flipme, you can ask @cakir to do the swap for you. He swap my coin with success
My old Chunk wallet is fully synced with 2 peers.
Connected nodes:
[
{
"addr" : "191.237.170.168:21118",


{
"addr" : "158.69.238.202:21118",
",


I can help with swap.

It indeed synched again, but now its staking and won't stop. I locked it, set staking=0 but the coins remain at stake and are not spendable.
I'll send you a PM with the private key and a new wallet address. Thanks, take your share.

Would you exchange the old coins if I'd send you the private key for the old wallet?

No, and I only see ChunkB listed at your exchange.
Why you don't want to do that?

How to change old wallet to new wallet ?


Send your chunk from the old wallet to the exchange https://altex.ws to swap for the chunkb then send to the new wallet's new address.

Altex only has ChunkB listed in the meantime and the old wallet won't sync anymore.

@feta: I've sent you the private key for my old wallet in a PM, with a new wallet address.
Could you send me the new coins, please?

Nevertheless, I'm mining it on Nicehash for BTC and my rig never made that much.
Certainly I don't want to own any of that shit, though. Could evaporate any second.
How much hash power u have on NiceHash and how much Zcash u mined with it? I'm mining on www.Zcash-Miner.com and made ~0.03 ZEC in the first day with 200 hash/s.

I'm mining for BTC on Nicehash, with about 100 H/s, which made about $25 the first day.
I didn't bother to start a Zcash wallet and sell the crap.
But its over, the price has collapsed, I don't think its gonna recover, being dumped to oblivion.
Going back to Ether and Lyra now.
