NXT (in it for the long haul) Might be the most active community I've come across. Many individuals are working on clients and side projects. The new thing seems to be mining and dumping profits directly to NXT. I'm not a miner, but this I like  

Time will tell with NEM, Distribution looks to be better than NXT. Idea is nice but its just doesn't have that ring to it.  

BlackCoin has my vote. Scarce ATM and good PoW/PoS transition.

VertCoin certainly looks promising with ASICs on the market soon. Many people think ASICs will ruin crypto. I tend to have my superstitions as well. Vert and adaptive/resistant forks are looking to be a very promising for maintaining stability and scarcity.

Look into Invicitus Innovations... great team working on DACs and multicurrency wallets. Holding PTS gets you a proportional share in future releases from the company. Active forum with continuous updates from the Devs.

I've been interested in DRK but as mentioned earlier it seems they are having trouble with anonymity...(which seems to be the main advantage), suggesting to me they will be looking at some sort of fork in the future to implement this promise. I have a question for all you DarkCoin advocates: With all the alternating algorithms implemented what kind of power consumption are we looking at?

Points of interest for me: Scarcity, Energy Efficiency, Security,

Glad this topic was started. Reading all your responses and composing my own has really make me rethink where my money is

Still holding strong here.. my hands are getting tired but I'm in this for the long haul and we have strong community here. I forge regularly and unfortunately don't have a large enough stake to receive any rewards at the moment. Picked up some BC and received some coin within the first few days... Clearly this is in mostly due to the abundance of NXT.... the total supply of BC is only 7.5% of the total supply of NXT. So I guess that's not surprising.

Overall, the features planned for NXT certainly are advantageous over many other options on the market and the future still looks bright. Just offering some first hand experience with other options on the market so we can all learn from the competition.

P.S. To any devs out there the only mac client that seems to reliably work is Offspring (and older versions of the web client). Keep up the hard work. I've been seeing some great progress in the community! Love that we don't use forks of the same old qt wallet client.

just received my first mining reward overnight its great to see this working so well.... I have invested good amount of money in NXT and still have yet to receive any rewards (due to large stake holders). I think people will be happy to see such a quick PoS reward system.

Thanks... just needed to clarify that because it also suggests that the minting reward could be paid wit transaction fees

this here's what I am referring to:

up until I read that, you and I were on the same page.

Anybody else have any idea under what circumstances would new coins be created?

will someone please explain the this coin to me? no premine I got that... PoS i get too... I guess where I am confused is where coins come from.. as I understand that there is no cap to the amount of coins that will exist in future years according to the FAQ

we're about to pass the doge in volume people!!! keep buying!!

yea i dont see this ending soon...

thnx for mac versions! 



Great design on the homepage! Haven't used/opened the client yet... don't have a testnet acct.

exactly what i needed

so, I'm curious why I have zero active connections to the network. when I start up the client it sometimes connects to one or two peers. the connections are dropped shortly after.

is there that few nodes?

i wouldn't mind nxt added either... they're working on some very progressive things

what is "currentblocktx" represent?

I am in the same boat. MacBook Pro, tried to mine with just 2 cores using

2 does not work, nor does two.

Anyway. Using just seems to work on the mac client.

Futhermore, the following prompt yields the following results:


looks like 3642 hashes per sec haha woohoo!

you can mine with the windows-qt client? or how do i set up cpu mining?

New to the BTC world. Fascinated by the community and all these cryptocurrencies.

Correct me if I'm wrong but from my brief experience using wallets I have yet to see any companies offer any kind of insurance behind the security of their product. Has anyone heard or discussed plans for this? I think this kind of protection could really add value to the currency. Even just 100BTC

thanks for this thread!

Thanks for all these replies. I actually just opened a wallet with coinbase. Everyone's responses have gotten me to reconsider.

What options are out there for P2P?

Does P2P include trading options like MtGox and BTCE?
