Most coins will survive, these coins can be traded even if stuck because of high difficulty after attack and only few core believers mining...

Bitcoin will be the dominate currency of the globe within 3-5 years.

Never. But Bitcoin can compete with paypal and other online wallets well and take this area much higher market share

I was mining Catcoin when it launched: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=380130.0
But since the difficulty went up my shitty 100kh/s GPU doesn't stand a chance anymore lol.

I mined Catcoin when started as well, now I only hope it was worth my GPU time and the Catcoin price will climb high   Smiley
1306  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Whats your favourite Cryptocurrency? on: December 20, 2013, 10:03:56 AM
I preffer just holding Bitcoin. There is no reason to hold any other coin for me because I dont know places accepting altcoins anyway, so if the demand for altcoins stop I dont want be left with useless altcoins
1307  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: How much khash/s do you get mining? on: December 20, 2013, 09:57:31 AM
I am using 3 different laptops but max out around 12k/s on all of them. I wish there was a way to speed it up.

You CPU Scrypt mining then. I would mine CPU coins only
1308  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Electrical Concerns for Mining on: December 20, 2013, 09:55:23 AM
Depends on quality of wiring, I would start with half, 2000 W and see after few days if you smell anything. In hot summer it can be more problematic
1309  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Do you think any of the other "alt" currencies will overtake bitcoin? on: December 17, 2013, 12:37:39 AM
Something that scales to millions of transactions per second and has easy/cheap transfers of vending-machine size transactions  is gonna win.  But whatever it is (and it might even be a redesign of Bitcoin), it won't work exactly like Bitcoin works now.

millions of transactions per second is 100.000x more than Bitcoin can handle with 1 MB block.
Bitcoin is store of value instead, like gold

Maybe the Core team should improve that to allow many more per block.

All what is need is increasing block size, so one line change I guess

No, why not make everything more efficient rather than increasing the block size. That would be better than using the lazy way to fix it.

But you cant compress the transactions much, it is almost like recompressing the same file again

Maybe oportunity to buy cheap coins for those having USD available at exchange right now. I wouldnt risk seling now because this news is not so bad.

1313  Economy / Speculation / Re: Reason for Today's Crash: China Bans Bitcoin Payment Processors on: December 17, 2013, 12:06:36 AM
One thing people are discussing on here is the validity of the China news today. It seems likely that it is a false report. Everyone is panicking from the news of one reporter, who is interpreting one source.

Anyway too late to sell I guess, so hold might be better
1314  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Coin Difficulty on: December 12, 2013, 11:11:34 PM
Difficulties for some of these coins change by the minute, this is not something advertised on most of the coin's websites.

Is there a command or formula (block x total hash for example) to determine the current difficulty for a given coin?

qt wallets of altcoins shows current difficulty, or use command
getdifficulty
It returns the proof-of-work difficulty as a multiple of the minimum difficulty
1315  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Disappering coins, help! on: December 12, 2013, 11:06:27 PM
I already did reset my wallet's blockchain and transactions.

Try export the private key and import to blokchain.info wallet
1316  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Coin Difficulty on: December 12, 2013, 11:04:11 PM
How do you determine a coin's difficulty?  Is there a way to use cgminer with the wallet to figure this out?

The profitability websites and block explorers never seem to be accurate or up to date.

Bitcoin-qt shows current difficulty
1317  Economy / Speculation / Re: Serious bitcoin price discussion. Bears only please. How far will it drop? on: December 12, 2013, 11:02:00 PM
Some uber-bulls chose to ignore the 'bears only' title, again. This time it was followed by a 'please'. What does it take to keep uber-bulls out of a thread?

If the current market is going to follow EW patterns, then the very bottom has to be no higher than 495$ (Gox price).
That's because corrective wave C has to be at least as large (% wise IMO) as corrective wave A.
If the market will behave like in April, then the very bottom could be in the 250$ - 300$ range.
But the bottom depends heavily on how many coins will be panic sold when most of the market understands that it's a bear market.
And that's impossible to predict IMO, could be 50K more or 150K more, with hugely different outcomes.

I really was not bullish until now. But based on my previous observations on this forum, price usually goes up when Tzupy appears and say that we are in the bear market. This indicator works surely better than EW.

Yup, he knows wall street will get involved soon I guess, last chance for cheap Bitcoin Ladies and Gentleman
1318  Economy / Speculation / Re: $100 coming next week on: December 08, 2013, 02:29:28 PM
Panic sells ended, I dont see how $100 could be reached, you would need to dump a lot of cheap coins, too much risk for whale
1319  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: will the bitcoin reach $1000 one day...? on: December 08, 2013, 02:18:57 PM
the price now is going down $737.10   Embarrassed

bitstamp = 740 usd
mtgox = 739 usd


So close Smiley


Seems arbitrage between the Exchanges is working well.
1320  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Invest in btc or ltc? on: December 08, 2013, 02:10:51 PM
I am no expert but isn't LTC value dependent on the performance of BTC? Let's say BTC value drops to $0 would LTC value be the same?

Dropping BTC value to $0 would probably only happen if cryptocurrencies use is unlawfull, so all coins would be affected the same
