A warning about Alt-Coins

[wrapperband0lite]

I agree, I thought china coin (CNC) is a brilliant idea, but it isn't being developed, so it may be open to attack.

What a shame.

Feathercoin FTC is about the same  (mathematical) value as Chinacoin and has a good forum. It is also being developed, checkpoints and monitored for forks.

I'll let you know if my China coins ever mature! Or the wallet ever syncs!

Could you please elaborate on WDC? Is it considerably different from LTC and BTC?

[Philogus]

I think that both Litecoin and PPcoin offer some advantages over Bitcoin...Litecoin with the shorter transaction time, and PPcoin with the energy efficiency features built in. I am long on all three.

It would be nice if we could potentially track or create a trust list of reliable download points and legitimate alt currencies. I may have to work on this.

wont go for that one.
have some litecoin thats it

CHN (China coin) appears to be a coin that goes nowhere.  I really wonder if it is worth continuing to mine this coin.  At this time I am considering to switch my miner over to FTC, but I have invested so much time and money on this CHN.  Am I wasting my time?

i am not sure how it works but
if fed gov trys to f with btc

we would have trade in another country like china
they already own trillion of US debt
maybe they will take over digital currency too! lol

Hey everyone. I have a bit of an issue going on here. I just started mining AmericaCoins or wth they are called at the Americancoin mining pool a little over 24 hours ago. I have yet to see one block paid out to me. At first I thought the confirmations where just really slow, but now I know that we are confirming blocks that I should be getting paid shares from and I'm not getting anything. Still showing everything as pending, not verified. Anyone else having this problem with Americancoin mining pool or other Americancoin pools?

If they are ripping me off I will just join a different pool.

I set up a site a few weeks ago that shows coins and their values (and your earnings w/ hashrate). www.WhereToMine.com Is that what you were looking for?  It's a new site so, I'm open to suggestions on it.

that is nice attempt to replicate exacting sites, but you did not answer that question actually, for example for TRC there is a link to http://terracoin.org/,  very nice I can use google for that. It is a lot of time have to be spend from comming to http://terracoin.org/  and actually getting into mining it.

If you will share your personal experience (or some who willing to share their experience) in mining all those coins that would be much more valuable

I just finally got some of my credit. I will stay with this pool for now, thanks!

No, WDC is not any different.

It's true that there's a huge saturation of alt coins in the market now, which is devaluting a lot of them.  It's hard to say which coins will gain in value in the future; sometimes you never know.

what is a alt coin are they like lite coins and such?

Some people consider anything other than BTC an alt coin. Others only consider secondary coins (coins that can't be mined directly) as secondary coins. Another definition is on the Exchange sites. Some classify certain VC as primary market, secondary market, etc. down to "trash" and "scam" coins.

Quite basicly MicroGuy loves GLD because he is an old domainer and loves the letters GLD and loves it cause
he thinks that GoldCoin carrys some of the legacy that real gold has and who can blame him it is a good name

its just ashame the original dev couldn't even sustain an erection in the playboy mansion let alone sustain this coin
and his fail launch of Quickcoin was probs the most interesting ive seen haha 

[cryptofreak]

lol
good advice
