Cryptocurrency "The Alt-ernative" (Second Edition) VOTE

[choochimil]

Is this like a history of altcoins or  directory of the ones voted in? I would have thought some like nxt need to be included because of their part in the evolution of alts.

PROPOSED COVER FOR THE SECOND "ALT-ERNATIVE" BOOK

So.. PIGGY would be on the back cover?  ^oo^

Not necessarily.  Coins will be ranked according to market cap on a particular day.  The top 30 get onto the front cover.

[Tyke]

It has been decided that each of the 50 cryptos and assets will have 6 pages each.  As a result, more information will be included (especially about their respective block rewards through time.

Sorry if your favourite was excluded.  Each of the above will have six pages in the book.  I look forward to any replies.

if you're doing DOPE might as well just include CANN and POT (as a type/group)

if you're doing XPY add CON for comedic relief  

also separate the assets (storjx)
so write about the platform first(XEM, XCP, NXT), and then the assets found with in
thus there are 3 types >> coins, platforms, and assets

silk and ultra are iffy

and you're missing XPM!

and need to break the coins into categories >> POW, POS, multialgo, merge mined ... so i suggest you write a page for each type of tech

and maybe do the regionals ... aurora/london(o2o)/mona/dem

other than that you got a fair list of the top50

and you ignored ripple and eth ... but i like that

I was thinking about Ripple and Ethereum today.  It is likely that a few of the 50 voted for last April have diminished in terms of community/development.  I will see how things progress as I research.  A great year ahead awaits.

ripple is dead ... compared to market cap and volume ... it sucks
but Bill Gates is rumored to be a backer
so whatever that's worth

I faintly remember dismissing Ripple in the first book.  I will look into it again.  Thanks for your comment.

yooo Tyke add expanse to the new book

yooo Tyke add expanse to the new book

Would you like Expanse to replace Franko?  I could then mention Franko (also Aiden) briefly in the Expanse section.  Sound great?

[Tsquared]

Looking forward to working with you on the Digitalcoin section. Been lots of drama, but seems like things are going to be getting back on track, so lots of good stuff to write about.

Although I read the DGC section, I never bought the first book so I just ordered it.

Now is a good time to remind folks to get your copy before they're sold out.

Please could the founder contact me via private message.  Zeitcoin has been included in the book I have begun.  I have heard that inspiration came from the Zeit Movement?  The thread I created last year is:

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=985422.0

I look forward to hearing from you. 

To the best of my knowledge
The original dev was only around for a few months in 2014 and attempted to get the zeitgeist movement to support zeitcoin by attending one of their meetings and contacting their management.  Zeitgeist movement management basically rebuked him and wanted nothing to do with any virtual coin at that time.
Upon that , the original dev left not long after , Rent_a_Ray stepped up and became the dev and has been ever since.
Like most original devs that left, his real id was unknown to the community.

So basically there never have been any real connections between the Zeitgeist movement and the Real ZEIT movement, which is basically the current ZEIT Kights & community. The ZEIT Knights have no interest in partnering with the management of the zeitgeist movement.
Each year for 1 month New ZEIT Knights can join , next post in ZEIT forum contains that info.
List of Current Knights that Joined in 2015
1   LionOfNarnia
2   Rent_A_Ray
3   Kiklo
4   Steve
5   Vavarin
6   Newra
7   Podizzle
8   GregofDoom
9   Ebolansk
10   CapSER2.0
11   Solarion
12   CoinQuest
13   Atronite
14   Uki

 

[Tyke]

If any coin/s I am researching have become inactive or interest has severely declined, I will substitute for the following coins:

Ethereum   ETH
Ripple   XRP
Namecoin   NMC
Stellar   XLM
Vertcoin   VTC
Gridcoin   GRC
NuBits   NBT
Primecoin   XPM
Clams   CLAM
Factom   FCT

Ethereum will be the first in line.  At the moment, I have no idea which coins will be removed from the 50 chosen. 

[BitcoinNational]

yooo Tyke add expanse to the new book

agree.  ETH hit a high note, so you gotta discuss what it is (What is ETH? really I have no clue other than 'a computer not located anywhere but everywhere')

and EXP is ETH-lite
