2  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Waves vs Ripple on: June 14, 2016, 09:20:22 PM
I heard Waves will be evolution of what Ripple attempted to be. Well Waves has some similarities with Ripple but seems better and less centralised. What is your take on it?

4  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / [MAINSTREAM] Top 10 Smartphone Wallets Regarding Network Effect - Results on: December 12, 2015, 04:18:49 PM
Now lets get into mainstream territory and see how alts are actually doing when it comes to that. So what better place than checking the app stores to get an idea, because thats where the public is active. I ranked them by amount of installs and iOS availability.

1. Dogecoin (DOGE)
Android: Yes | Launched: Q4 2013 | Updated: Dec 9, 2015 | Installs: 100.000-500.000 | Rating: 4.2 | Amount of rates: 3.118 times | iOS: Yes | Launched: Q1 2015 | Updated: Oct 23, 2015 | http://dogecoin.com/

2. GetGems (GEMZ)

3. Litecoin (LTC)

4. Dash (DASH)

5. Counterparty (XCP)
Android: Yes | Launched: Q2 2013 | Updated: Dec 7, 2015 | Installs: 500-1.000 | Rating: 4.2 | Amount of rates: 19 times | iOS: Yes | Launched: Q2 2015 | Updated: Dec 9, 2015 | http://counterparty.io/

6. Peercoin (PPC)
Android: Yes | Launched: Q3 2014 | Updated: Oct 11, 2015 | Installs: 1.000-5.000 | Rating: 4.2 | Amount of rates: 44 times | iOS: No | https://www.peercoin.net/

7. Namecoin (NMC)
Android: Yes | Launched: 2012/2013 | Updated: Jan 8, 2015 | Installs: 500-1.000 | Rating: 3.5 | Amount of rates: 24 times | iOS: No | https://namecoin.info/

8. Monero (XMR)
Android: Yes | Launched: Q2 2015 | Updated: Jul 5, 2015 | Installs: 100-500 | Rating: 4.0 | Amount of rates: 8 times | iOS: No | https://getmonero.org/home

9. Gulden (NLG)
Android: Yes | Launched: Q3 2015 | Updated: Nov 4, 2015 | Installs: 50-100 | Rating: 5.0 | Amount of rates: 5 times | iOS: No | https://gulden.com/nl/

10. NXT (NXT)
Android: Yes | Launched: Q2 2015 | Updated: Dec 8, 2015 | Installs: 50-100 | Rating: not rated yet | iOS: No | http://nxt.org/

So these are pretty much the top 10.

And the results are pretty sad, seems only Dogecoin and GetGems are doing well and are clearly more aimed towards mainstream participation. The latter has been out this year and already beating Litecoin in adoption. Litecoins Android wallet hasnt been updated for a year and no sign of an iOS version.

Which clearly shows Litecoin is much more oriented towards the tech savy and traders, same goes for Dash, Peercoin, Namecoin, Monero, NXT, their apps score pretty bad regarding installs.

So from the 678 cryptos on coinmarketcap only 0.3 % are doing decent in reaching mainstream. I think its because its much harder to reach mainstream then reaching tech savy/traders and many cryptos just put out the announcement and get it listed on the exchange, thats it, but there is no actual business model, funds, ambition, interesting features to reach mainstream.
5  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / RUBYCOIN SCAM on: December 07, 2015, 01:47:52 PM
wtf is this shit rubycoin, overtakes monero, it has a dead ann thread, no community, no activity, no marketing, nobdy heard of it. this fcking altcoin valuing logic is so retarded.

It should be removed from coinmarketcap just like banxshares.
6  Economy / Economics / Banks are more decentralised than Bitcoin? on: December 06, 2015, 05:41:49 PM
There are twelve governing banks with voting interest in the Federal Reserve system. Only 10 central mining pools in the Bitcoin ecosystem.

7  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Which Cryptos/projects/startups are backed by a VC? on: October 29, 2015, 01:14:44 PM
In addition to financial capital, venture capitalists provide valuable expertise, advice and industry connections. Many venture capital firms have consultants on their staff that are well versed in specific markets. This can help a start up firm avoid many of the pitfalls that are often associated with start-up business ventures.

Also starting a new business is fraught with concerns about legal matters, payroll matters, and tax issues. It is not unusual for a venture capital firm to take an interest in providing these resources since they have a vested interest in the success of the company.

Now is there any Crypto that has VC involved? Or are they are waiting and praying for bitcoin to rocket and advertise on bitcointalk?
