Alternative Block Chains : be safe!

[David78k]

I haven't seen anybody post about what would be my biggest worry if I were trying out alternative block chains. I realize this may be perceived as "Gavin is FUD'ding anything that isn't bitcoin!"  (FUD == Fear, Uncertainty and Doubt)  But I think some of you might be forgetting some basic computer security fundamentals in the excitement to be early adopters.

When I first heard about bitcoin, my questions were:

1) Can it possibly work (do the ideas for how it works make sense)?
2) Is it a scam?

It is safe to say that you are certain? What's a system of a couple of thousand top of the line machines with incredible system network, on 24x7, harsh to CPU or GPU stack worth? Doubly so with some having the keys to a couple of hundred to a couple of thousand dollars of electronic money?

I'd state a considerable amount. It won't be long - if a major enough % of the bitcoin network will download and run windows exes for each alt money that goes along all you require is a seized discussion record of a normal to pull it off.

I think we should be very careful to research for safest method to secure our money. although I have not use for security. but blockchain can helpfully to rectify our problems. l heard Margaret is safe one of them.

That's partly why I haven't messed with the alt chains. I even mentioned this on the announcement thread for lxcoin but it got drowned out with all the excitement about it

In my conclusion thither are as well various alternate blockchains now . I anticipate humans should break composing them, i aloof dont look whatever justification representing composing them.

GPU virtualization is still truly test. Most VMs virtualize some old poo GPU as a matter of course. To get equipment access to your real GPU, in Virtualbox there is an alternative to do that and it works, now and again, fairly. TBH, I havent attempted GPU mining in a VM yet, I have utilized it for CPU mining and afterward VMs are insignificant. Anybody got GPU mining to work in a VM?

Most of the new coins coming out daily are created by ignorant developers. its scary

[rricksu]

Good advice.

Using an alternate cryptocurrency client would be a great way to get many people to install a hidden virus that targets Bitcoin users.

If you have a significant amount of Bitcoins, I wouldn't run other clients on the same computer until the alternates have developed trust over a longer period of time... I'm probably on the paranoid side of things though.

These new cryptocurrencies are interesting, and it will be fascinating to see how it will all play out. 

Meaning to say that these altcoins can infiltrate our privacy and stole our bitcoins? In order to be safe, we should be aware of our privacy and we should first test the reliability of the altcoin circulating the internet. In that way, the altcoins wouldn't be a destruction to us.

[ridertiger]

That is good advice. Good thing I am not running .exe wallets on my pc. Always prefer paper wallets, and if it is a coin like BTX  that I can trust, I use a known wallet like Coinomi.
