I would like to find out if it is possible to create an alt-coin that uses an alternative method to mining? Perhaps a coin that is time based or one that is mined in relation to a users activities. Mining to me seems a like a waste of energy so I would like to get an idea of the potential possibilities. Also out of interest where could I go to find a alt-coin developer? I realize there are a few tutorials about but I would rather find someone who knows what they are doing.  |

Your best bet is a PoS coin. Technically it is still mining, but very efficient. It can be done with even just 1% of the CPU, and the wallet only has to be brought up every once in a while depending on the coin.

Sure it's possible, you could just require that the miner send "hello" in to mine a block, but limit the amount of blocks you can mine to one per day per ip address. But then you'd have a botnet come in with 1 million computers and mine all the blocks in one day.

You can make a regular coin and set up only one pool or a web site with ads and people get their coins by how much time they stay on that particular page. Set an amount of coins to be released at a certain interval per account/ip and the more accounts online at a certain moment sets the difficulty. And i recommend an ads website for a small revenue to maintain the server.

I realize there are a few tutorials about but I would rather find someone who knows what they are doing. One was already created years ago and still going strong today. Not so much an alt-coin, but more of a totally different concept and technology all together. Basically not a clone of bitcoin/litecoin or how its concepts work. You'll find it here -> http://timekoin.org/More info at Wikipedia -> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Timekoin |

Thanks for all most of the input, I will take a look into Timecoin. Also I wont be cloning Ripple from what I have read it has some issues. I don't really want to make another pointless coin so it would need to bring something new to the table.

Who is using it?
Timekoin is not a derivative of bitcoin, so these forums would not be the best place to find unbiased info about it. There is a very healthy trade community for it, person to person transactions are common place. As for the exchange question, you would have to ask the people that create the exchanges. They tend to only look around these forums for digital currency to add, but a whole other world exist outside this forum.  |

XPM PoW has good value. I am sure in future we will see more PoW coins which have a direct application.
