Where do we start?

[ARGpentem]

From now on, only the following coins may be mentioned in the thread:


BTC -> classic blockchain coin - POW, store of value.
XMR -> privacy enhanced coin - cryptonote approach
NXT  -> second gen. coin, multi feature coin - Proof of stake
FLT  -> not sure standard first ge. POW coin ?
BBR -> privacy enhanced coin - cryptonote approach
NEM -> second gen. coin, multi feature coin - Proof of importance
XCurrency -> privacy enhanced coin. Xnodes - coinjoin approach
Maidsafe -> unique, not a blockchain based coin, platform
Skycoin -> unique, unsure what it is
Siacoin -> storage coin, similar to company shares


Discussion of the other coins belongs to other threads.

I made a short note for each coin.

rpietila shitcoin observer.
Have a look at maidsafecoin, they offer something truly unique.  

I don't want to judge about their development skills (thought they were before completely unknown), but their selling methods are kinda scammy ^{[1] [2]}

To call it a scam is wrong.

Though right now it doesn't matter really. Crowd sale is over longtime ago.

maybe it is legitimate to ask why they need a currency different from bitcoin?

Because they need to reward farmers. Farmers need to be rewarded after their work and it need to be automatically without middle man, that's why there is another currency built into the protocol.

How can we request a new coin if it offers something great to get onto this thread? PM?

[nakaone]

regarding xmr - did someone expect that low prices? - I assumed that we find after ATH a new equilibria around 0.005 or at least 0.004

Do you guys even read these coins' respective threads? It's blatantly obvious from the Monero thread that there remains a mountain of work to be done, just to achieve reasonable usability. It's comparable to Bitcoin in early 2010. Just be aware of that. For the sake of your money, please read the thread and see the volume of bugs, defecits and other issues with the code. Of course I don't expect most of you to take this advice. You'll call me a troll and continue existing in your blissful delusion, where Monero is perfect.

This is all that Monero/Cryptonote coins need(read quote below). Other than that, they're leagues ahead of any other "anon" coin out there. Right after The cryptonotes, is probably Vertcoin, at least Vertcoin uses Stealth Addresses that don't rely on a centralized trivial, mixer, that can always be DDOSed, like Darkcoin does. It's funny that you complain/lie over non existent issues in other coins, yet you fail to realize the crippling failures of the own coin you support, Darkcoin, with it's trivial coinjoin based "anonymity", it's horrid 50% instamine by it's own dev team, and it's name(darkcoin) that will Always be affiliated with drug/illegal activity + the other 101 problems it has. You try too hard rocket, making up lies won't help darkcoin...

Are you being disingenuous or do you just suck at math? If you have twice the blockchain growth with just a tiny fraction of the transactions, what do you think will happen if you were at real volumes?

Transaction identification by prefix: this feature will let us to cut off ring signatures from blockchain that under checkpoint - save space by 30-70%(depends of mixin usage) -Crypto_Zoidberg, Boolberry

Whoa, I wonder what that is, I wonder if you seperate the daemon and wallet, that you can create light clients so you dont have to download the full blockchain, just like with Bitcoin!

It's funny to see that you completely ignore the other points, when you've been outed as a Liar. Lmfao.

LIAR lol hypocrite


Ignore DARKOTA he is a troll who PUMPS and DUMPS - Look at his original thread here:

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=658541.100

Then look here:

 https://bitcointa.lk/threads/litecoin-is-officially-dead.331214/page-5

Troll on indeed:

http://coinmap.org/
www.uselitecoin.com

This thread is starting to show the true TROLL: I have been PM'ing everyone in this thread, some have even joined the Litecoin Talk forum because of this troll so i actually think its ok his lies - everyone is being PM'd this:

'Litecoin is dead'

Look at the original thread - he has deleted more than 100 posts from people supporting Litecoin, he is a troll who pumps and dumps

Anyone like buying BBR every time it drops below 25% of the price of XMR?

And with their dev it's not impossible that BBR could make some progress and exceed the 25% target over time and catch up somewhat to XMR. It would take something wild happening for BBR to reach parity with XMR but 33% is not out of the question, is it?

[rpietila]

regarding xmr - did someone expect that low prices? - I assumed that we find after ATH a new equilibria around 0.005 or at least 0.004

I think we will. Equilibrium is not reached, it took a new wave down.

I also thought that 0.0035 would be a slightly more probable low point than 0.003 and that is again more probable than 0.0025 etc.

It is hard to see that the previous low of about 0.002 would be breached without news.

It's a winner-takes-it-all situation, for which reason BBR is trading at a significant discount. Market sees its chances to overtake XMR as slim.

yep..it is a dilemma, limit coins or get bombarded here with lots of alts or shitcoins or scam or whatever they call it..but i think people here would still consider reading post of a nice innovative new coin if there are such.

It could very well be Claymore.  I mean he is getting 5% of any GPU hashing on the network for free.  Low ball guess says 600 a day.  The could suppress pricing.
