PPC is a real fav for quite a few people on here. Is it going to do well and what set's it above the new wave of POS coins?


Huge hashrate and better security. Stabil development.

Go to peercointalk.org and check out the forum. You will get much better answers there.  Smiley
625  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: What alts should I research and invest in? on: March 15, 2014, 10:56:08 AM
You should consider trade volum, lifespan and innovation. I would only recommand peercoin.
626  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Which altcoins have features that make them in any way superior to Bitcoin ? on: March 15, 2014, 10:11:33 AM
Short answer: None

The worst argument is faster blocks. I have spent bitcoins purchasing vpn service, acsess to different newspapers, gambling at bitbook.biz, poker at satoshi poker and all of those purchases have been confirmed instantly. Withdrawals from bitbook, satoshi poker, sealswithclubs etc is also very fast and much faster then sites using fiat currency.

The next worst argument is that there is so few bitcoins and they are so expensive making it hard to pay 0.00345 btc for your purchase. Lol just change you wallet to mBTC and you are fine.

The biggest advantage bitcoin have is security. Most alts are very insecure because of low hashrate and can easily be attacked making them insecure.

The amount of services already developed and under development for bitcoin is massive. Bitcoin got a bright future because of that and because of the need of a payment system adapted to our new digital world.

But do we need alts?

I belive peercoin and litecoin will survive. Peercoin is innovative with the proof of stake minting and it is stabil with slow and predictable development. It have been around for a few years and established itself amoung the market leaders. In long term it got the ability to become the preferred instrument as a store of wealth. Litecoin is similiar in many ways. It is old, stable and established as a market leader. More widely adopter then peercoin and to big to fail.

Others that can survive and have significance is actually doge because of the widespread adoption. It have brought cryptocyrrency to so many new people who had never even heard of bitcoin. The importance of that should not be forgotten.

If there is one feature that bitcoin don't offer that could be improved upon in an altcoin it is anonymity.

We have several contenders the main one beeing: Zerocash supposed to launch in mai, Anoncoin and Darkcoin. We know very little about zerocash and if it will launch at all. Anoncoin is undoubtly the most exiting contender now. They are implementing the old zerocoin code and seems to be very competent and truly devoted to offer anonymity because of their political views. It is also very well distributed and fair. If they are succesful this coin might survive it and thrive in dark markets.

Darkcoin is trying to implement and improve coinjoin. This is an old method of trying to achieving anonymity that have been tried implemented in other coins before, but have failed because of lack of anonymity. But we can only hope that the devs have found solutions to the flaws in coinjoin and are able to deliver what they promise. Darkcoin is also heavily instamined with blocks size starting at 500 and quickly descending. Because of this darkcoin is probably the most overvalued coin (beside aurorascam), but it must be mentioned as a long shot.

yeah the old dev has gone i guess... he did quite a bit for the coin but time for someone else to take over now really.......... the coins needs to be fixed really



you joking?HuhHuhHuh

lol....maybe he should spend lots of time to look after his baby..you know ..

He probably got 20 babies and have dumped this. But if someone can fix Vel that would be great. Smiley

It is listed on quite a few exchanges and it had a very good launch. There is no reason why this coin deserves to die. Maybe we should set up some bounties if there is some big holders willing to donate.
628  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: 5 coins you will ask your bestfriend to invest on: March 13, 2014, 09:22:11 PM
I would only recommand bitcoin and peercoin and not more then they can afford to loose.
629  Other / Archival / Re: delete on: March 13, 2014, 02:31:13 PM
I wonder how damaging this will be for the crypto currency reputation with the public. ...
Probably not any more damaging than the other two dozen coins, pools or several exchanges I have wiped out over the past three years.
~BCX~
Just making a public copy of your statement.

You're missing the point here.  If he can destroy a block chain or an exchange or a pool, then they were doing it wrong and deserved to be destroyed.
This is a service that good security pays handsomely for.  It's called testing.  People who are afraid of testing are just those who fear that they have failed.  Testing means you can't keep your failure a secret any more and when you're asking people to trust you with their money that is a good thing.


^ Such a good point.

QFT. This is without any doubt a good thing.

If you want to make money on transaction fees you should add the top traded coins on cryptsy and not random crap coins that people just want to dump.

Volume on other exchanges does factor into whether we launch another coin but every coin comes from somewhere.  We just launched MINT, POT, and DRK which already have good volume on other exchanges and big fan bases.  But we're also willing to take a chance on a new coin like GPUC or ZEIT because we think they may break out into something bigger. 

There's a good balance and polls like this matter because we don't want coin developers to pay to be in our exchange. 

You obvious need new coins that other (good) exchanges don't offer to draw in new customers. To make a poll like this is a great way to do it and it also brings good publicity. What i meant is that you should add the top traded coins in addition to the one who get voted in. Anoncoin, auroracoin, quark might bring some volume.
631  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: Official Anoncoin chat thread (including history) on: March 12, 2014, 06:25:44 PM

you think so ?? maybe other coins will just copy the code?

Meeh can't u keep the implementation code hidden in someway ?

I made all my investment in anc now, the devs are really good and this is a real cryptocurrency and it has proven many times that it holds technical value. Not just a nice theme....

Even if other coins copy every new feature anoncoin implement, anoncoin will still be better then the copy cats. Because of the fair distribution and because anoncoin still got very competent devs pushing out new updates and features.
632  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: I will BUY 10 alt crypto currencies this week, advises? on: March 11, 2014, 06:30:28 PM
Dont buy coins with low volume. I can only advice you to buy the 2 coins other then bt/ltc i currently hold myself.

1. Peercoin. The only coin I would advice anyone to hold long term beside btc/ltc.
2. Anoncoin. There is a demand for an anonymous coin and anoncoin might got what it takes to become the first coin to achive that.

Noob questions and help, please.

I thought ZeroCoin was not due for release until ~May. Is AnonCoin using some of the code or principles from ZeroCoin?

Will AnonCoin be better or about even with DarkCoin?

ETA on ANC/Zerocoin stable release?

If you read through this thread, meeh's blog (link in this thread), anoncoin subreddit and @anoncoinproject on twitter I think you get good answers for all your questions.

I am confident that Anoncoin will be superior to darkcoin, zerocash and others.

The devs are really competent and their motive for being involved in this project seems to be different compared to the competition. The Anoncoin project is about  creating a truly anonymous currency.

Most coins purpose is to enrich the devs/early adopters. First you got the instamine/premine, then hype and then dumping. To start a new coin is easy and if the coin dont get the attention they need to make money, the devs just leave it and come up with a new idea/consept.

You should also compare Anoncoin and darkcoin distribution. Anoncoin block size is 5 coins and it will be 5 coins for 2 whole years before the block reward halves. Anoncoin have been around for 9 months and proven itself many times over. Darkcoin is 50 days old and started out with a block size of 500 coins and the block size is now only 20 coins.
635  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Undervalued coins on: March 07, 2014, 09:19:39 AM
Which coins, in your opinion, are undervalued?
I believe these three are:

1- Anoncoin
The developpers recently anounced the implementation of Zerocoin, and the value barely moved. This will make all transactions anonymous, which is something the internet is in a dire need of. When it will be done, I believe its price will explode, since no other coin (other than the currently over-valued darkcoin) has this goal.


+1

When all the features they are working on are implemented, and a black market is set up, this might be the only coin that actually have a purpose and a reason to be used in real life. The only reason to use a crapcoin instead of bitcoin/litecoin (which is much safer) must be that it offers some advantages.

In addition to the anonymous features it is a coin with a fair distribution, low supply and total coins of only 4,2 mill.
636  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: CryptoAve.Com Adding One More Coin For BTC/USD exchange. Which should it be? on: March 06, 2014, 07:44:07 AM
Anoncoin. Because it is one of the few coins that might have practical use.
637  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: [ANN][SBC] From Death Comes Life – The Rebirth of StableCoin - URGENT UPDATE on: February 18, 2014, 01:56:06 PM
Anyone know why stablecoin price is falling so fast?

My guess:

It's because Stablecoin is a total scam. Suddenly during the great alt coin price rush a dead coin gets revieved. Hazard holds a significant share and promotes the coin extremly well. My second guess is that artos, hazard and a few others have staged the whole thing to pump and dump.

The hyped coin mixing feature might very well just be a bluf. But what if its not? Will the service really be that good. We got anoncoin, zerocoin is coming. (And the name Stablecoin itself is crap.)

This might be totally wrong, but i would encourage everyone to be careful when investing in this coin.

QFT?

When i wrote this back in desember i held a decent amount of stablecoins and hoped i were wrong. It dont seem to be to far of now.  Sad
638  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: [ANN] microCoin MRC - alcurEX - Scrypt-Jane - nFactor - Now on MintPal on: February 17, 2014, 07:02:35 PM
[We're at about 0.00000100 LTC at Poloniex now Wink. Indeed, I expect the price to (heavily) increase soon.
I already bought and mined a nice stack of MicroCoins, but I keep hoarding in the meantime.
What is that in BTC price?  How do I convert that?

mcr/ltc * ltc/btc = mcr/btc

0,00000100 * 0,025 = 0,00000025

2,5 satoshi

Anoncoin might skyrocket. Do your own resarch.
