Do you think Digibyte is different of another crypto-currency ?

People are saying it has a great team behind it and they had a huge giveaway. However they are not presenting arguments to why Digi is better/best. They are just saying.. Don't point out flaws or give critique in the thread if you don't want to be flamed, the level of maturity is low with the occasional exception The coin itself has potential.

Everybody says that their coin has a great team/devs/community behind it, and most of them have nothing of the sort.

It's a little bit of both - believing into and a good sense for adopt true information out of the statements of others. At the end it always will stay speculation...

Digibyte looks really promising to me aswell. Hope it gets far!

Hello. Ive bought a lot of Nextcoins a few weeks ago and since the code was made public iam not sure that the price will rise in the next time. What do you thin? Hold or sell?

well I think up to 2% premine is okay if they are doing good promotions and giveaways

And Ripple will be the most hardcore new crypto currencie !!

"100 billion total Ripples (XRP) with all of them "pre-mined," as Ripple is not a cryptocurrency.
Ripple Labs possesses some 50 billion Ripples in hopes they will increase in value."

The above is a review from Heavy.com.

My opinion is that Ripple doesn't contain the key element, mining. If the entire community doesn't feel engaged, then Ripple is not generating interest or market value.

Do you know about some reliable 42 coin pool?

[Noob_one]

my personal CHECKLIST to find your "perfect" crypto coin currency (distinguish a quality-coin from the mass of trash-coins. )
I hope this will be helpful for you

TRANSPARENCY / TRUSTWORTHY:
1. Are the full specifications easy to find on bitcointalk.de or on a website of this coin?
2. Is the source code available for this coin?
3. Does a website exist? Is the website online? Is the URL of the website changing very often? Are the full specifications easy to find on the website?
4. Is there a hint that the coin is NOT PREMINED or a special hint of the premine-percentage! (If there are many entries in the blockchain that are older than the official release date of the coin, then you should be suspicious!)


TECHNICAL RELIABILITY:
1. any damaged or forked blockchains in the past?
2. If a critical bug appeared: Did the author offer a mandatory update very soon to fix it?
3. Is the coin available on several exchanges?
4. Did an exchange remove this coin because of technical issues?
5. Is the source code actively maintained? When was the last update?


INNOVATIONS:
1. Does the coin or the wallet offer some interesting innovations?
For expample:
1.1. Proof-of-Stake (POS) (for example: peercoin, novacoin, yacoin, philosopherstone, diamond)
1.2. possibility to add a transaction message to a transaction (for example: Florincoin, philosopherstone)
1.3. random blocks (for example: Luckycoin, philosopherstone)


I know it is some work to go through this checklist for each coin to find the right coin for you. But it might be worth it. If I have forgotten an important item for this checklist please tell me and I will add it.

I totally agree to that, Ripples and Nxt are all scams to me; mining is fun and makes a new crypto fair, why are many of these new coins bragging about not offering any mining rewards?  Many really good cryptos' prices are depressed these days, such as CGB (Cryptogenic Bullion) so to me it's time to buy some; at least I know I am buying something that was mined.

Is it better to invest in CPU or GPU?

[Dverlik]

Thanks! Just found a trojan on my pc stealing wallets

Is it better to invest in CPU or GPU?

CPU is for nothing, definitely GPU, see https://litecoin.info/Mining_Hardware_Comparison

[DoctorEvil]

I think there are still some coins worth looking at that are CPU only, such as PTS and maybe FZ.

Anyone else CPU-Mining anything worthwhile?
