I would prefer to use a UK bank or one situated in the European union which will enable faster transfers and all the other benefits.
Its not going to happen. HSBC told me that if they found me doing bitcoin trades, I would have all my accounts shut and not be welcome to do business with them again. To be fair, its not the bank itself that is at fault here. They money laundering rules are set up to prevent something like Bitcoin going mainstream. Until they change, it will be impossible to get banking services. You are kidding, right? This is the bank involved in the biggest money laundering scam in the World's history. Directly causing thousands of decapitations in Mexico and Colombia and untold misery around the world. And yet if an English Grandad wants to switch current accounts he is treated like an Al queida suspect. ROFL! Hahahahahaq! LMFAO! You English are scared little fawning sheep - take a look at the brave people of Kiev! Hahahahahaha! ROFL! LMFAO! |

I'm not going to suggest a crypto because if I did I would be accused (probably rightly) of just pushing something I have a stash of that I bought cheap! Take a look at Coin market cap Take a look at coins that are trending sideways or have never been pumped and show a very low price/supply and are trending up. Then visit the websites, checkout the services, exchanges, innovations (if any!) etc etc and choose your investments. Remember even a quick and unoriginal clone can blow up if it catches the imagination of investors especially from outside - look at DOGE. So don't forget to factor in stuff like the name and the logo. That's all!  |

clonecoins -Dogecoin
instamined - quark
coins that makes the rich richer by doing nothing like peercoin
and the list goes on
Well I suppose the OP should have qualified his question. Alt coins to avoid because you do not agree with their originality, ethos, history? I was guessing OP was just asking which Alts to avoid as investments. Personally I thought DOGE was a joke and derivative - but as an investment you can't ignore the market cap and it's ability to bring in more investors. Quark - instamined - again that is a term you could throw at any crypto with reducing block rewards - it's pretty meaningless in investment terms. Peercoin - Agree with this one. To be seen as an investment there must be activity going on - be it fancy websites, clients ported to new platforms, services, fiat gateways etc. The old top tier alts need to work to maintain their positions or will sink. |

Your comment is a solid block of bullshit.. i don't even know where to start, but i will try lol
I don't appreciate you spreading just pure garbage to new users either.
Really? You are entitled to your opinion but I don't give a flying fcuk about it!
Quark was in fact launched fairly and i know i was here the day it was..
Fair quark on the other hand is NOT fair at all and is a premined scam coin clone.. Quark was not premined and it was launched just as fairly as other coins.
You and all the other people like you run around here spreading nothing but bullshit all over and i'm tired of it.
Is English not your first language or are you retarded?  I clearly said that Quark, unfairly, was given a poor reputation - not that Quark was unfair. I didn't even mention FairQuark!  Take a chill pill, Dude! |

There is also a new LeadCoin faucet at the MultiCoin Faucet! http://altcoinfaucet.net/
Follow LDC on Twitter! http://twitter.com/lead_coin
Like LDC on Facebook!
To solo mine for Noobs!Download the wallet! http://www.leadcoin.net/downloads/LeadCoin Solo Mining Example with CGMiner under Windows Vista/7/8 Download the wallet and set it up as described here. Paste the text into the leadcoin.conf as so; listen=1 daemon=1 server=1 rpcuser=yourchoice rpcpassword=yourchoice rpcallowip=192.168.* Adjust for your network rpcport=27771 addnode=175.126.62.153 addnode=71.13.22.240 addnode=188.227.230.221 addnode=109.230.231.157 addnode=93.189.45.68 addnode=142.166.91.94 addnode=24.212.252.61 addnode=180.131.234.35 addnode=46.246.17.74 addnode=80.241.218.226 addnode=184.164.89.153 addnode=109.188.127.180 addnode=109.188.127.180 addnode=5.141.132.148 addnode=58.221.87.50 addnode=93.185.192.69 addnode=85.65.154.181 addnode=124.148.52.32 addnode=87.152.141.82 addnode=80.229.249.107 addnode=94.181.11.70 addnode=80.229.249.107 addnode=109.195.211.62 addnode=60.172.192.50 addnode=101.228.9.159 addnode=117.201.94.141 addnode=94.69.189.46 addnode=82.197.216.45 Change the text in red – ie your username, password and your actual network. If you are unsure of your network search and run cmd and type ipconfig and hit return – This will give you your IP address. Example: If it is 10.100.0.23 then change the rcpallow to 10.100.*. Once your LeadCoin wallet has been restarted and is synced to the network (Green Tick) it is good to go and can be left running. Next, download the CGMiner. Note this has to be version 3.7.2 or less. http://www.leadcoin.net/files/cgminer-3.7.2-mp-0.04.zipAgain, it will normally be downloaded into your ‘Downloads’ folder and so will need to be ‘unzipped’ into your choice of location. Also it is a good idea to make a short-cut to the cgminer.exe which can then be used to add command line options when running the file. The command line in the shorcut properties will look something like this, below; C:\Users\jimc\documents\cgminer-3.7.2-windows\cgminer.exe –scrypt -o 127.0.0.1:27771 -u jimc.1 -p pass When running this you should get a DOS window showing various info including a hash rate – like 211KHs. Congratulations! You are mining LeadCoin! Every so often you will ‘win’ a block and receive coins into your wallet! Please post your individual mining configs and command lines - Share the joy!

Very few to avoid actually! People on here say avoid clones - why? They are no less technically sound than the coins they are cloned on. Many clones have more sensible attributes like block frequency and rewards. Anyone still claiming DOGE should be ignored should not be in the business of investing! You need to put prejudices to one side. Even coins that started out under a cloud either unfairly (Quark) or actually (Frozen) are able to have issues worked through by their communities and stakeholders and shine through. I think that, here, in Q1 2014 we are still in a very nascent market and the 'blue fuse paper' of mainstream take-up is yet to be visited on us. I think one or two of these currencies with interesting investment models will break through to mainstream (like Ripples or PTS) and will be taken into mainstream very quickly, These will see capitalisations in the hundreds of $Billions. As these are open source these innovations will flash over to the Alts and I guess that most of the alts we see on CoinMarketCap will see capitalisations of tens of $Billions. Many, many people will regret mining alts and changing straight to BTC! All this could happen Q4 this year.  |

If you turn it on it's head then all you are suggesting is a coin with perpetual inflation. If a coin inflates by 5% a year then by keeping money in a cold wallet for a year you are 'migrating' 5% of your coin worth back to minable coins. |

Lot's of solo miners still getting their share of LeadCoin! 2014 will be the year of this coin - you mark my words! |

Question... why exactly money should be anonymous ?.. I mean .. the philosophy behind that theory
So that the common man has the same tools at his/her disposal as the Billionaire/Russian Oligarch/Multinational Corporation - and this is achieved via anonymity and plausible deniability. The elites called trickle down - it wasn't actually meant to work. |

Too few CPU coins here.
Asics are coming to scrypts soon. Vert is stupidly overvalued considering how little infrastructure it has. All CPU mined coins are completely resistant to ASICs.
We need more money going to Frozen, Quark, FairQuark, and literally every other CPU coin!
I think Vert has a pretty strong community actually. Also it will be resistant to the Asics aimed at scrypt. However I agree that small time miners/traders will be exclusively CPU (or exotic scrypt) in a years time. Hold on to that Quark/Frozen/Q-bit! As for near-term - I think Xivra will do a DOGE in the not too distant future! I also think that something like Ripple (probably Ripple) will take over from Paypal this year possibly disrupting the auction market along the way. Services like escrow and seller protection could be bolted on for a charge. |

I have unclicked 'Hide extensions for known filetypes'..
I still get the same message :
Maxcoin has encountered a problem. it needs to be stopped.
And when it is open after restart , there is no sync.
Like I said. Delete everything in ApsData\Roaming\MaxCoin except wallet.dat. Download windows client from the maxcoin website an unzip. Create the MaxCoin.conf as above. |

You need to unclick the 'Hide extensions for known filetypes'. Then when you rename the Maxcoin.conf the .txt will be shown - just delete the just change the MaxCoin.conf.txt to Maxcoin.conf. You do that by either right clicking on the filename and select 'rename' or left clicking on filename slowly, twice - first click filename turns blue 2nd click filename can be edited. It should then work fine. I keep getting the message that maxcoin has encountered a problem and has to be stopped You might need to delete everything in the AppData\roaming\maxcoin folder except the wallet.dat. Redo the Maxcoin.conf as below; If this doesn't work then you might need to unzip the windows wallet again and use that. Contents of my MaxCoin.conf addnode=maxcoin.cloudapp.net

Who the fuck is doing this everyday? anybody got names? adresses? i'll swear i'm so sick of it, i could kill m  almost 10x a month my miners go a whole night for jack shit because of the pathetic ddos attacks.... lets bond.... and kick some ass! I'll ddos my fist in your face! I'm with you, those guys that DDoS the exchanges and pools really piss me off. ~BCX~ The only logic behind it is, I guess, that they reduce the overall net hash and get an advantage. However for any coins with more than a dozen pools I really can't see that this would be worthwhile? However if we are looking for faces to punch first for me would be the bastards who scammed me for 2.8 bitcoins in an elaborate Butterfly Labs phishing exercise. Edit: Exchanges are something else. Either other exchanges or, more likely, NSA and their lap dog GCHQ. |

LTC is a horrible crypto community imo. How can you let a coin get to a 750 million $ market cap, effectively making many coin holders and devs rich, and then not develop infrastructure that coins 1/20th its size are almost finished with?
I agree with you though, I split my portfolio up into scrypts and CPU-minable except I emphasizes the CPU coins. They are the most ASIC resistant - essentially taking Vert's sole innovation - and sometimes have other cool features. I chose Quark to make up all of my CPU portfolio portion, and several scrypts for that side.
My sentiments exactly! It is almost baffling how the (rich) LTC stakeholders did not invest in new innovation when the price jumped from 2$ to 20$. |

BTC-e is a fiat <-> LTC gateway, I don't need a mobile wallet to store. Services, some here: http://weuselitecoins.com/, https://litecointalk.org/index.php?board=7.0 However, I'm of course open to suggestions. If there's some downhill trend as you say, it's idiotic to use LTC for storage, you're 100% correct there. But where are the fiat gateways and merchant services for those other coins you mention? Well, few and far between in Feb 2014 but who knows in June 2014? What I am saying is that the 'old' main alts are having to fight for their share of the market and many do not seem to be making much noise. |

A while back I started to realise that even bad publicity is good publicity in BTC/ALTC world. snip.. All IMO of course! Yes, but not everyone looks at the speculation angle. For example, the ones that see Cyprus bail-ins and IMF peregrine ideas. I rather store to LTC (which I can use to buy real stuff here and there), then on volatile and totally virtual MAX or Doge I'm not sure about that. If I were fleeing from a fiat I would probably put 1/3 in a 'good' CPU coin (maybe like frozen), and 2/3rds in a couple of scrypt coins that have some further innovation over BTC (more than simply using scrypt). Maybe vertcoin and HoboNickels. LTC seems to be on a downward track in the short/medium term - where are the fiat gateways, the mobile wallets and the merchant services? |

A while back I started to realise that even bad publicity is good publicity in BTC/ALTC world. DOGE got a lot of publicity as a joke coin, not to be taken seriously. - It continues to ride high. Quark, Frozen had infamy in their roots - always get a reaction one way or another - doing well. MaxCoin is the epitomy of a coin born in a scream of fury - I predict it will rise and rise and rise. Believe me - I am a Max Keiser fan and I wish that weren't the case! However as a trader I now am buying in big positions. The coins that elicit publicity and/or emotion will fly, the ones that don't won't. The old Alt leaders that are plodding away and not pissing anyone off (LTC, FTC, PPC) will sink further. All IMO of course! |

And a very promising exchange. Clean and professional UI, Admin listening to the traders and always open for suggestions. This exchange has a lot of potential people, go find out for yourself.
I agree - and they are adding more coins! Very nice exchange! |
