Next big crypto currency?

[Keyzersoze03]

Definitely Litecoin...but seriously at some point these alt coins need to stop IMO...everyone is trying to cash in

[RetardedMonkey]

Can't see Terracoin taking off - difficulty scaling is retarded.

Did they ever fix that?

 Ok, so picture this... you invested in said ASIC, let the company build a device that when you finally got your hands on it you damn near convulsed. (That is how these ASIC boys are) They have invested how much into BFL and Avalon? Does anyone care to see what the interest is on that many million for simply sitting in the bank? How many presold BFL have? Do the math.

 I will get back on topic. The said Alt coins that will accept ASIC will be the next for them. GPU's still be here. You would hard pressed to find a person in the world who does not game, or know a die hard gamer themselves.

 I'm sorry to say folks, but gaming is the entire reason the internet is where it is. Who the hell you think makes the GPU's for Consoles? Let me rephrase that.. porn is the biggest bandwidth consumer. LOL regardless.. GPU's fuel this fire... either get on, or buy a hunk that won't do sheat other than mint BTC or another alt coin, and let them hold you money for 2 years.

 Do you need more explanation?

The next big crypto currency is actually ... bitcoin!

Yes, that's right, as bitcoin becomes more known it starts to gain infrastructure, merchant solutions etc. The altcoins are mostly me-too products that offer no real benefit over the original, except for a small interest group. What miners like is irrelevant in the long run when the currency moves into what it was supposed to be - a real medium of exchange - and not a free-money get rich quick scheme which is the miner's focus.

I know this isn't a popular view, but it's what needs to happen if crypto currencies is to ever make it into the mainstream.

I reckon bitcoins will always be number 1, litecoins will take off next and then terracoins.

I agree. In my opinion, bitcoins will be number one for a long time...

[Magic8Ball]

LTC is taking off nicely. LTC/BTC is now over 0.03

[morthandeus]

litecoin is already making waves since mt.gox already announced support for it

They put it on hold though according to this article

[BitcoinBoard]

Definitely Feathercoins! it is all over the internet and cryptocurrency related websites

[Silverwolf_Ru]

I would vote for Feathercoin for those who would enjoy discovering a few blocks themselves. It might never grow as big as Litecoin, which is what I am mining currently, but still the thrill of finding a block. Of anything really, it's indescribable. At least the first couple of times

Bitcoin

[deac]

I think especially the new altcoins are created to make quick money. Hopefully one with real technical advantages and no pre/instamine and huge early adopter advantage emerges.

Litecoin was a good alternative during the past month (6-9 Month)... but the difficulty raised the last weeks/month, so that CPU-Mining (yes, I did it with some strong servers and about 8-10 "normal" workstations) is no more efficient.
I startet with ~ 60 LTC/Day and a total Hasrate of ~ 700kh/s, now I just get ~ 2-5 LTC/day...

okay I had to switch of some clients, but my 2 servers with each 24 Cores & 32GB RAM run at 100% and they generate only 1,2 LTC/day... so mining LTC with CPU-Power is "dead".

I am looking for good alternatives, but there are too many new cryptocurrencies and I can't make a decision I hope I make a good choice with PPCoin and TerraCoin, we will see :-p

[hello_good_sir]

You know how I can be certain that none of these me-too-coins will ever succeed?  The fact that every discussion is about miners.  Miners don't matter.  No one cares what miners want, and no one follows their lead.

[4btc]

While I'm pro competition I do not see that the alternatives offer any revolutionary new concept compared to bitcoin.

Litecoin uses different hashing, which could serve as a backup in the unlikely case sha failes.

PPCoin?

[wozza]

litecoin I reckon. ASICS are going to destroy bitcoin mining for GPU miners

PPCoin?

It seems interesting. But I don't know if the concept will work - have to read a bit more about it though.

In fact, I think a effectively deflationary coin like bitcoin (which in strict terms is also inflationary) is a good idea. This is contrarian to the current fiat system. And I think we have already seen that such an inflationary system does not work well longer term... I mean everybody will spend some of his wealth at a certain point of monetary value in relation to his needs. A deflationary system mostly prevents unneccessary spending which saves resources but will not prevent economic prosperity. Artificially induced demand (via inflation) is not healthy.

Litecoin seems to be on the way up
