Reality check on alts

[coinsolidation]

Funny I tried to gather hype on my coin which was no pre-mine, no IPO and only a few people who really "got" the idea was interested, If people cant feel like there in at the back door, They don't want to know. I lost intrest in my idea when 17 coins came out in the week I was planning 

What was your idea, any links? I'd be interested to read it

Been searching for ages LOL This is an old thread mind! https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=555633.0

i wanted to create a coin made for US, all of us, Not just one person, However I could not get everything in one place, I needed one pool, One exchange, and some people to PR, It never happened.

I have lots of great ideas, Unfortunately not the tech knowhow

I happen to know of a project which is entirely focused on ideas / discussion and adoption, with the technical knowhow in the community and dev team to make virtually anything required or requested. If you'd like to join in discussion and float ideas about with like minded people, then please come in.

The best alts are the ones with free giveaways. Last week there was reserveshare and today I just learned of premineplus. Nothing beats getting to try a brand new altcoin for free! Also, these fair distributions are a huge positive for the coin's future.

True, But under the surface, Their has to be either a pre-mine or an IPO for them to have coins to give away in the first place. Hence "premineplus"

I like the idea tho, I am seriously re-considering starting one, Then after some time of me mining openly after launch, Give some away as a promo.

[coinits]

i don't have much use for opinions from guys who post in the Altcoin section once a year sorry..

Why do you constantly troll every OP on this site? If anyone deserved to be banned it is you.

[balu2]

problem 1: rampant speculation
problem 2: people are dumb as shit

... so from my perspective everything is developing perfectly normal.

most alts are shite obviously

Yes, the altcoin zoo is a wild, confusing, and lawless frontier zone.

To provide some guidance for noobs, in honor of our annual Eternal September festivities beginning tomorrow, I've updated my signature.   

[MaxDZ8]

Nice signature.

LTC: selling misinformation (at best) or flat out lies since when there was chance for an altcoin to exist.
Monero, boolberry, cryptonite: all based on same tech, all apparently having something not quite right.

Not encouraging VTC or MYR... sorry Sir, I totally disagree with you!

[nutildah]

Just don't do it..

Doesn't want competition for "her" scam/crapcoins. This person is one of the most notoriously evil of all scamdevs on the forum.

Funny how "she" would only pipe up when a non-scammer wants to create a coin.

<---- She gave me this trust rating because I was warning people about her relationship with Iconic Expert.

LOL, lots of people are getting the false impression that Cryptonite is a Cryptonote-based coin, but it's not. 

XCN is based on mini-blockchains, which are completely incompatible with CN's ring signatures.

I'm trying to get BitFreak to change the name to something less tremendously confusing to non-specialists, and more distinct and descriptive (such as 'MiniCoin') but it's like pulling teeth.

You'd think no coin had ever successfully changed it's name/ticker before, despite the example of BitMonero/Monero/MRO/XMR.

You'd think no coin had ever successfully recycled an abandoned name before, despite the example of ByteCoin.

You'd think a simple re-branding of an obscure month-old coin, with scant volume on a mere handful of exchanges, is equivalent to a hard fork and re-launch, but it isn't.

The problem with scrypt ALTs is that the majority of miners just mine them as a vehicle to get BTC with old tech. This has created constant selling pressure on them. When scrypt ASICS become prolific at the end of the year, you will see this turn around because it will force the GPU crowd onto other coins and old tech will no longer be a factor in scrypt coins.

Next  year, scrypt coins get legitimized and the increased hashing power will increase the overall security of the coins enabling investors to start to place bets on the next bitcoin.

These are my sentiments as well.

I think we might first see some consolidation and then a resurgence in 2015 with the consumer playing a greater role in determining the winners and the losers.

its a good list

TYVM.  Feel free to steal it and help drive out the shitcoin infestation if you like.

The ideas in this thread are right-on and relate to another thread, with a similar discussion bitcointalk.org - Re: How we crypto-geeks get it wrong & the reality of altcoin success

to be honest you only have to listen to mike hearn talking about the "fragility" of bitcoin to think hmm there must be competition on the horizon. I don't mean to say bitcoin's thin ice, but just because the whole thing feels too static. To use an old comparison it's like late 90s ISPs and email providers wanting you to pay for a 5mb inbox - what's gonna happen next will be foreign to the status quo, but so it must be. alts will most likely be involved, but whether it'll be any of those on the top today, who knows.
