A warning about Alt-Coins

[powderfan]

Tried to buy XRP for BTC via Ripple client, without success. Anybody experience with it?

I granted sufficient trust to bitstamp's ripple address for BTC, USD and EUR.
I even managed to place an order the other way round (buy BTC for XRP).

However, when I want to sell BTC, the order won't be placed. It indicates

Error: Insufficient balance to fund created offer.

What am I missing?

Is it possible to mine 7 different currencies on a single card? Using merged mining?

Any thoughts about YAC, PPC, TRC, FTC?

Which one do you think will get some real value in the future and which ones do you think will be dumped completely and worthless?

PPC is the only 1 I can see surviving, the others dont even have competent devs.

For me it's the only real alternative to bitcoin.

As per me Bitcoin is the gold & Litecoin is silver of crypto currency as of now , specially one LTC goes live on Mt.Gox.

YAC is something new. There might be something there
PPC uses a proof of stake mechanism in addition to proof of work. I believe it has potential. The problem is there is no limit on the number of coins to be minted (other then the global limit of 2 bn coins) so I am not sure about inflation
TRC is a clone of bitcoin just to similar to be winning
FTC is again too similar to litecoin.There is a speed difference but my litecoin transactions are nearly instant already. I do not see a value

Just try litecoin vs bitcoin transaction for yourself. Litecoins a noticeably faster - this is kind of great. I think there might be potential for litecoin.

Novacoin is interesting and well supported by a developer. But people still view it as a ScamCoin (although arguably there is no scam in it). I just do not see it breaking out of this negative image

As im not yet able to post where it is best for that, will ask here.

Is anyone mining DigitalCoins on this pool ? http://next.afraid.org:8119/static/

I noticed a lot of missing block rewards, which were not credited to my wallet. I was mining full time on there, getting nice payouts but some blocks were not sent.
Any idea what that may caused ?

+1. Forking BitCoin is easy. Actually improving it is hard.
