My big regret is not listening to my friend when he told me about this 2 years ago. 

Ah, well that makes sense I suppose - even though it was stated in the newbie readme.

Hi everyone. I've been looking into Quark. It brings something new to the table with its increased security, and doesn't seem to punish people that got in on the game late. I only really started hearing about Bitcoins last year, but didn't get into it before the big boom. That, coupled with the massive difficulty of mining, makes it incredibly hard to get into. I think the best way to get into cryptocurrency is to find one that improves on Bitcoin, and has long-term potential - otherwise people are just going to stay with the tried and true ones (Bitcoin, Litecoin). It's a bit of a craps shoot though because there are SO MANY cryptocurrencies now.

I've seen a lot of people post about altcurrencies, but there haven't been many explanations as to WHY. So my question is, what are the alt currencies that interest you, and why? What do they bring to the table that BTC does not?

Also I tried to post this in an actual pre-existing topic, but I seem to be having trouble posting AT ALL in the newbie forums (it says I've already posted within 6 minutes, even though I don't have a single post to my name).

I only voted on Facebook, but can't send PMs. If you want to send me the BTC, here's my wallet:

Since I didn't send you a PM or anything, I totally understand if you don't send - just trying to help you and your friend out!
