Bitcoins vs Goldcoins vs Namecoin

[Hanekom777]

Hi guys, been browsing the net and recently discovered bitcoins but found some mining software called bitminer that sounds like it uses namecoins to speed up generating bitcoins is this possible? then what is the value off goldcoins and namecoins compared to bitcoins? and is it feesible to look into these.

sorry and one final thing anybody willing to donate 5 bitcoins or more to me so I can buy a asic mining rig, I'll be willing to join a pool or pay it back once ive mined it back...

Hi,
welcome here
You should also check litecoin as an alternative to BTC
LTC is profitable also on GPU mining rigs

Litecoin? I'll look into it, the thing is I'm trying to get an idea of the value of these alternatives in comparison to bitcoins
so for example: 1 BTC is approximately 10 LTC. so yea?

o and thanx for the welcome and the suggestion I'm glad to be here this whole thing is exciting and whats excitement worth if you got no one to share it with.
