~$10 USD worth of alt coin compensation for taking a brief survey.

[TinEye]

1) I have mostly altcoins.
2) Oct/Nov 2013 (forgot the exact date).
3) Yes

4) I have made a profit on a few.
5) First option.

6) If I invest its only because of some chance of getting wealthy.
7) Probably.

8 ) Altcoins allow newcomers to build up their stake.
9) No
10) Not sure what it is, to be honest. Some kind of support group?

Thank you.

[anyone4u]

1)yes
2)2013
3)yes

4)no
5)quality

6)already did, doges, and when they killed the currency aka inflationary, i lost a lot of $
7)if i get free from here $, well that could be used to make me tons like it did with the original drug addicts that used btc to buy drugs from silkroad for .30 a bitcoin and maybe a litle more. Many of them cashed out at 1200k

8 )would be nice, on most alts that I have ever held, i only lost money
9) well I need a bigger miner, to compete, and so far mentioning bitcoin when applying for a job has landed me no job
10) looks great thanks

[cexylikepie]

1) Yes, quite a few
2)october 2013
3) yes

4) occasionally, but a lot are losses since i dont have any mining power
5) it seems like theres more money in A, but i like the idea of B MUCH better

6) no, too risky for nothing in return
7) sure, that isnt really anything to risk.

8 ) i really hope people get together behind something, like NEM.
9) quite possibly
10) seems a little ridiculous. but it could work

[MysticalPotato]

Thank you for your time.

You're welcome.

1. Yes
2. December 2013
3. Yes
4. Yes
5. B. Quality based.
6. Yes
7. NA
8. Tonnes. You should drop me a PM if you're interested to hear the ramblings of a chain-smoking drunk. However, I would like to highlight two points - the objectives of 9/10 alt coin devs seem to end at getting on an exchange, and development apparently consists of mainly dice games and faucets.
9. No.
10. Too vague and light.

I appreciate the courtesy you displayed on both threads. Civility to strangers is a dying art.

[hellscabane]

1) Yes (multiple coins)
2) March 2012
3) Yes

4) Yes
5) B

6) Yes
7) N/A

8 ) Many of the clonecoins are annoying and will continue to be annoying, but as I've seen, it's all part of the process. Although, the recent uptick of IPOs resulting in scams is quite unfortunate. I'm also very curious on what shakes out from this survey. I hope to see collated results that are broken down by various Bitcointalk demographics (such as member status).
9) Sure, those sort of things are always possible. Although, it's more likely that if an unexpected opportunity arises, it'll be for a nice job, not necessarily a nice career; after all, careers are built over long periods of time (i.e. years).
10) It's a different concept, but besides the link to crypto-currencies what makes it different from other types of entrepreneurial-styled pay sites? In fact, seeing that you are trying to work something where you can get receive discounts on coins from whales alongside the IPO type of structure makes it seem a slight bit suspicious.

[Coins4life]

1) yes
2) January 2013
3) yes
4) yes
5) B
6) yes
7) NA
8 ) most new coins aren't worth it to me

Thanks!

[username here]

1) Yes
2) December 2013
3) Yes
4) I'll mine then dump anything. For some reason, people will pay for complete shit so I mine whatever poop coin has low difficulty.
5) The only coin with a mainstream future is BTC and maybe one alt. So I'll keep up with the pump and dumps. It is profitable.

6) Only if you are expecting it to go to the moon. I find that entertainment.
7) No, crypto-currencies are not fun or entertainment so the amount is irrelevant.

8 ) maybe if it is to infinity and beyond.
9) no
10) (the devil is in the details.

3) Yes

4) Yes
5) B always wins in the end, A for short term

6) Yes
7)

8 ) I want to see another coin like GPUCoin but with improvements made to the business model.

    Investors would invest in the company XCoin.
    All investments would go to purchasing wholesale goods.
    Investors would each get a lump sum of XCoins equal to the wholesale cost of the goods
    The goods are sold at competitive prices, but the only way to buy them is with XCoins.
    People can purchase XCoins from investors or mine them.
    The proceeds, including the majority of profits, are used to purchase more equipment at wholesale price - and the cycle repeats.
    A small portion of profits is split up and sent to investor's wallets. (they have special stake wallets)

    What would happen is as follows:  If the goods are in high demand then customers will push the price of XCoin up trying to get a good deal.  The price should end up around what one can get at EBay or other auction houses.
Not only this - but money will constantly be injected into the market since people have to buy XCoins to get that good deal.

The price would stabalize, the market would have liquidity since customers have to purchase XCoin and in turn XCoin has to be converted back to bitcoin to purchase the goods.
Investors would be able to sell of their initial pile of coins and make profit since they got them at wholesale costs.  Also investors would profit for the rest of the lifecycle of the company with their stake.
The supply would grow as most profits are put back into buying more equipment.  The coin would become huge.


9) Yes.  It is possible. (not my answer, but maybe someone else) It is unlikely.  It takes action, not just words, to get an idea going.
10) Already posted on thread.

[g0re79]

1) Yes, loads
2) 05/2013
3) Yes, way more

4) Yes, I am activelly picking them up, malesting and dumping them, because thats all what they deserve.
5) B, since 99% of alts are copypaste shit/scams and killing whole crypto scene

6) Yes, but You will have hard time to persuade me that "funny stuff is ahead" and motivate me, as I went throught many "funny and dramatic" scams (unocs, orbitcoin, phenixex, minersbit, stockcoin, EDIT: maybe even this...).
7) thats ridiculously low, are You targeting all the kids exploiting parents electricity bills by non profitable mining?

Make POW/POS hybrid coin resistant to ASICs and multipool malesting with balanced params and some funny way to "human mine" (something like HUC did), back it up with huge self supporting comunity and ease to use features and yo´re winner. I actually have some concept, but I won´t share ;-)
9) Of course, only blindfolded fool did not.
10) Holly fuck, I should start from the end, I would never fill this If I read that before.. Sounds like shit to my eyes for the first smell (Yes, nonsense exactly as your concept). My scam alert siren woke up whole street now.. Btw. It reminds me late 80´ pathetic advertisement. I am definitely watch this thread and see how many fools will you lure to trap. Also, its quite patch to know, but anyway:

69.5 BTC

Never forget..

7) yes

[sickjoce]

1) Yes (LTC,DoGE,XHD)
2) October / 2013
3) Yes

4) Nope, 99% Of those coins are made just so people (DEV and team) can scam some money.
5)There are far too many ALTcoins out there, no need for new unless it is new technology that will revolutionize something IMO we have seen enough so far.

6) I allready have Dogecoin for that, but sure why not.
7) No

8 ) Altcoins are good, as long as they are not there just for the money, it takes a lot of work for a coin to because USEFULL and successful (Doge, LTC,)
9) No, so far it is not needed.
10) One can only dream of right?

5) I generally go towards quality

6) no
7) no

8 ) no
9) only if one implements it themselves before someone else sees it and does it first

[Quartx]

1) Yes
2) I may get bashed for this, but it was given to me by TradeFortress
3) Yes

4) I never took notice of altcoins unless they actually contain innovation rather than just cloning, adding coins, reducing times , etc

5) WorldCoin and LiteCoin, despite the fact that WorldCoin price dropped due to Schrambeck, it is still an innovative coin with large support, LiteCoin does not need to be explained haha

6) Not really
7) Of course it would

8 ) Too many altcoins ruins the economy, we just need a few good ones, and maybe a thrash coin exchange
