Hm, if you want to hear my advice: Try DigitalCoin, TagCoin and FeatherCoin. Otherwise try LiteCoin.

Quote
Almost all of the alt-coins out there are going to be a waste of time.  They're being created to take advantage of people who get super excited about different things and then get pumped and dumped.

As the value of Bitcoin increases, people will naturally start looking for a more affordable alternative; this creates great opportunities for altcoins. While most will die out, getting into altcoins now may actually be a good idea. Having multiple cryptocurrencies increases the chance that the world will move to decentralized currencies, so we must do what we can to support them - just don't invest huge amounts of cash into them yet, they are mostly unstable at the moment.

I mine LuckyCoin and ZetaCoin. Also Quark is a good alt coin to start with.

Bitcoin and Litecoin are going to make it for sure. I don't even know what betacoin is but nowadays even the biggest of the crap coins does well  Roll Eyes

" but nowadays even the biggest of the crap coins does well". Indeed, and that's why it's often better to mine a crapcoin and trade it for a decent coin Wink. BTC and LTC are decent, altcoins like FTC, DGC and TagCoin too in my opinion.

Could anyone explain why do most of the Crypto currencies rising in value? Except of course BTC LTC NMC. Or is it pure speculation?

I think everybody wants to invest cheap coins what can be the next BTC. It's like lottery.

I would have loled at this , If I could stop crying.

Your argument would be served better by a real rebuttal rather than a veiled attempt at condescension.

From my position, I would argue that there is no such thing as a completely stable currency. With a currency like bitcoins that has an upper limit to the amount that can exist, you are going to continually (albeit probably very slowly) lose currency to factors such as lost wallets, hoarding, and the like. Without a small level of inflation you have, invariably, a small amount of deflation which is far more devastating. This is why virtually all national currencies aim for a 1-3% annual inflation rate.

TL;DR: 1% inflation > any amount of deflation.

Also the 1% inflation acts as a form of investment "interest" for the network. I wouldn't be surprised to see bitcoin monopolized by a cartel of ASIC miners once block rewards disappear. Network monopolization is the one thing that threatens to destroy a virtual currency. Nobody can argue against that.

With Peercoins the 1% gain by participating in the proof-of-stake network acts like a GIC, or T-Bill. It is the safest place to store your money and get a guaranteed return.

This part also made me laugh:
Without a small level of inflation you have, invariably, a small amount of deflation which is far more devastating.

Block rewards my go down , .... but you know that it will happen in a few decades , while there is still the transaction fee which is supposed to replace the reward by design.

Also advertising for a copycrapclonecoin doesn't make your post any better.

The bad thing and the good thing about alt-coins is that they are easy to manipulate, but if people got together and manipulated it to become a stable currency with a set inflation rate vs the dollar, it would easily become the world-wide reserve currency.

thin markets make volatility very high.  so if you can make the quick return, sell into the momentum and smile!

first post.
i'm just now getting into alt-coins although i bought some litecoins in the low single digits a while back. i just bought/traded btc for some namecoins and primecoins.
 i'll probably get some anoncoins and protoshares next but i still need to do more research on them. i looked at mastercoin but i'm liking pts more right now. i'm waiting for zerocoin and may trade a lot my btc for those depending of how things go between now and then. looking forward to darkwallet too.

Finally I can make a god damn post. Anyways, I think alt coins are a great thing! I see a lot of potential in alt coins like CasinoCoin, but sadly the devs abandoned it. Someone needs to pick it up and take control like what some guys did to WorldCoin. They were pretty successful too.  I would be willing to help, but idk how the hell one would take an abandoned cryptocurrency and just take over to bring it to its full potential.

I think there will be some alt coins that are truly profitable, but this will still take some time.
For now I only think that only btc and litecoin are the one your the safest.
Anyone who has bought some litecoins already?

There was a lot of fuss regarding Quarkcoin in the last few days. Now, it's dropping. What do you think? Is that it for QRK? Or will it continue to grow?
