Just curious incase anyone on here, is here for something other than Bitcoin.
I'm trying to avoid Litecoin since I know the difficulty is going way up due to the amount of ASIC's in existence so I've been mining Feathercoin for about 24hours and since the difficulty of that just doubled, I'm getting about 60 a day.
When I get my own rig built I plan on mining Litecoin, or incase the difficulty is to high maybe PPC it has a pretty interesting model behind it in the long term.

If you're serious about getting a return on investment, Litecoin is the way to go.

Do you mean from a mining standpoint or from a growth potential standpoint?

Either or works.
I personally view all the alt coins from a mining point of view, I don't understand there use other than competition to BTC otherwise.

I'm conflicted, two years ago i saw bitcoin, tried solo mining for a few days, didn't get anything, then proceeded to give up. fast forward to present and I'm kicking myself that I didn't jump in sooner. Now for some reason, I'm looking at these alternative currencies with the same apprehension that I had given bitcoin. Am I making the same mistake again? I don't know. With bitcoin already in place the only reason that I see litecoin etc. around for is so people who missed out on bitcoin can get in early on something else. Damn things are worth 2-5$ atm. Shoulda woulda coulda?
As a side note, does the fact that there are so many virtual currencies diminish what bitcoin is trying to do? At the rate we are going everyone is going to have their own currency... Hey, i'll trade you 1 of my lewicki's for 2 of your Fife's.

I too am torn. Trying to spread it all around. I am placing bets on Bitcoins. More exposure.

PPC. Long-term this is a great idea. Other than that, I think faster confirms are great, so LTC.

AFAIK there are no ASICs for LTC because of scrypt, it's more about memory and just straight calculations.

Most of the people in this thread clearly have an interst in their reasoning. I'm not going to do the same. ![Angry](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/angry.gif)

Monero's privacy and therefore fungibility are MUCH stronger than Bitcoin's. This makes Monero a better candidate to deserve the term "digital cash".

because anyone can create a new currency there is the risk that the market will get saturated, but I guess as happened with coke and pepsi or mac and microsoft, there is always space for more than one big fish. I would try to particeipete in the next 2 o 3 new currencys, starting with litecoin.

There is something about feathercoin that feels good. Maybe its the potential?

Although I don't have any yet, I think the most viable alt-coin so far is litecoin. It's the only one besides BTC that you can use to purchase goods right now.
