there simply will never be enough of them for this ever to become a true currency, or to be used in any major way for currency exchange.
This has been addressed a thousand times


I'm fairly new to all this, and haven't found those discussions. But I guarantee you, that people aren't going to be buying a house with their .000256 bitcoins even if they are valued at $10,000,000,000 each.

If you want to consider the absolute number of bitcoins, then just change units to satoshis.  There are 10^8 =100,000,000 satoshis per bitcoin, so in your example they would be buying a house for 25,600 satoshis.  And even satoshis could be subdivided into smaller units by changing the code if there became a need for this.  

Already some think the unit of "bitcoin" is too large at about 100USD, so propose mBTC as the base unit.

Why not?

Consider, you get a new job, your salary is .000017 bitcoins per hour. umm don't think the average person is going to go for that. That's all I'm saying, regardless of what its true value is. Woohoo I make .0035 bitcoins a year, I'm rich!!

Are there any uses for the alt coins except being traded on exchanges? I get the value of Bitcoins and Namecoins but the rest ....?

I hear a lot of alt-coins die after getting too high on difficulty.   Are there any alt-coins with guaranteed blocks?  Like on bitcoin testnet3 where after 20 minutes the difficulty drops to minimum.

Coins-e is friendly to new crypto currency users,
Not only are we a well trusted exchange, but the wide rage of currencies we have gives noobs instant access to many wallet addresses in one place.

https://coins-e.com

I just observed your site is not responding. I wanted to check out the site and see the free coin faucets you have available there to see.
Also, What sort of good pools are available on your site?
Are they ad sponsored or free.

I am looking for a program to mine as well as to acquire a lot of bitcoins. I know you think its impossible, i am willing to devote as much time to this as possible. Obviously, I am a newbie to this, but i will get the hand of it in time, i believe.

I am always on the look out for good info with regards to mining bitcoins. I love this forums.

Certainly the site appears down most of the time (at least from my geographical location, South America and the Caribbean). Coins-e, don't you have some kind of monitoring service that report to you the status of the site?

https://coins-e.com We have had a face lift, and added many more coins just for you.

I cannot take anyone seriously that uses the avatar you are currently using...

Sorry for the question but, why? It's only about a ugly logo? he/she has another one? or what?

I recently read a very intersting article (http://bitcoinmagazine.com/5635/primecoin-the-cryptocurrency-whose-mining-is-actually-useful/) about Primecoin. It is fantastic how the mining/verification process can be useful for another tasks than just mining/support the e-currency economy.

I'd say LTC is in second place behind BTC.

Well atleast pee pee coin and primecoin deserve honorable mention because they both added something new to the table.
But I think they've been betamaxed at this point.
