What's Your Favorite Altcoin?

[Bitcoin-hotep]

I have not really been paying attention for the past few months.
Which altcoins are doing what right now?

DOGE is probably the last new coin I heard of if I remember correctly. It was at least the last one that stuck in my mind.

[Bitcoin-hotep]

And just a random thing I would like to share. I have NEVER mined a coin in my LIFE because I have no idea how to do anything like that, I am more of a history and etymology and anthropology and chemistry person, not at all a computer person. I bought ONE BTC back when they were $30. But I have gotten at least 10 Bitcoins thanks to Devcoin, which (on devtome) pays people to write about whatever they want.

If there are any other coins like that, I think they would get SOOOOOOO much attention to cryptocurrencies. If there was a coin I could get for writing and another coin I could get for posting videos and another coin I could get for posting on a forum and another coin I could get for recruiting people to a mining pool, etc etc etc then eventually EVERYONE would be in to Crypto currencies, instead ofjust people that can figure out computers.


Everyone needs to start thinking HOW COULD I GET MY MOM TO USE MY NEW COIN WITHOUT ME HELPING HER

i have never mined a coin either and have found the whole concept interesting.

lol in regards to your mom, i think you are right. Until someone big like google or amazon, etc jumps on making one of the coins as a alternative payment system i am afraid it don't look like it is going to become easily accessible to the general public. I would assume the big companies will be able to make this more user friendly.

I believe in talkcoin

I have tried, and even had people explain me through the whole process and I can never get my computer to do it just right, or I am somehow just computer incompetent and am doing something wrong even when I get it explained to me via the phone.

Yeah, I am hoping that Google or somebody makes a coin soon. I honestly have no idea why they have not done it yet, it blows my mind that the Internet Search company that probably has people using their search engine more than ANYTHING ELSE to learn about Bitcoin, and they themselves (who are paid developers) have not decided to do anything yet.

[nebula81]

Oh btw! My favourite coin has to be NXT i guess.

[Bitcoin-hotep]

I believe in talkcoin 

What are they doing? And does that wink mean it's not real?

[Bitcoin-hotep]

Oh btw! My favourite coin has to be NXT i guess.

What are they about?

[Bitcoin-hotep]

I'll go ahead and list some of the coins I remember.

Devcoin
Doge coin
World coin
Bit Bar
Spots
Feather coin
Lite coin
Name coin
Nova coin
World coin

I can't remember any others off the top of my head.

[ChekaZ]

Feathercoin it is!

Abstraction.

If you interface with a coin through a recognisable medium, it's easy to use.

for example: think of a paypal/skrill UI web based program which hooks in to any wallet you specify, or a one provided by the website owner.
not limited to this, but it's a start.

I think eventually people will realize that people on "the outside" don't trust people that they have never seen the face of, and that that is like 25% of the problem with Bitcoin. Many people don't even KNOW of anyone that has been on TV or anything because of Bitcoin. If it were not for the Joe Rogan Podcast I would have personally never heard of David Seaman or Andre Antanopolis, I would have only heard of Gavin Anderson and Satoshi Nakamoto and that is from reading stuff HERE.

SO.
The solution to this will be wallets at ALREADY trusted sites. Ex: Imagine Bitcointalk.org profiles came WITH wallets. Do you think more people would trust that over a website that they can't communicate with directly? If there were wallets associated with our accounts, we could all complain when they messed up and stuff, and people like to be able to talk to the people holding their stuff. That is why MCXNow was so successful even though everyone here always hated on it.

And once people start showing their faces more and Bitcoiners start getting put to known public faces, it will start to move a lot faster. Like if Joe Rogan himself announced that HE owned Bitcoins and supported Bitcoins and told people to make their own coins in a short video (or if there was a 'show you face' thread here) people would start to feel like they should get involved and wonder why they haven't.

I'd be interested to hear your comments on https://github.com/coinsolidation/bitmark/wiki/Microtransactions-and-Microtrust - it seems to fall in line with what you say, bootstrap existing real world trust.

Yes, that is perfect.
If someone were to implement that, eventually sites like Amazon would realize that THAT is what they should be doing. People should be able to trade bitcoins for Amazon coins, or money for Amazon coins, then spend those coins on Amazon. It could eventually completely replace gift cards for ALL companies, they just have to make their own Micro currencies based on coins.

That is what the Bitmark project is all about, and is the focus for the next round of development. I would appreciate any discussion on thread about approaches to this, target markets, potential early adopters, and so forth.

Ignore dogecoin, they have screwed it up with setting the coin supply to unlimited. Its already leaded toward its doomsday.
Currently i belive in DRK and monreo, also CannabisCoin is trying. And favourite one i'd like to skyrocket as it deserves it? DigiByte of course.

Awesome I will check out that thread and make some comments soon.

There is a time and a place for infinite coins, they will be the payment system for mining Bitcoin once there are no more Bitcoins to mine. You will merge mine things like Doge coin and Devcoin WITH the Bitcoin, and that is how you will get paid when there aren't any bitcoins left to pay you in.

And then if we ever become a space faring species, then we will need infinite coins to help us calculate trade throughout the galaxy and eventually the universe. Some planets/space stations will value coins differently. Like on one planet/station Doge coin will be popular, while on another Bitcoin will be more popular. Like USD and Pesos or Euros.
