Hi everyone,

I am quite n00bish to this whole scene (i.e. bitcoin and alt-coins), but it has been one of my biggest hobbies for the past few months, and I'd like to quickly say "Thanks" to this forum, which has helped me tremendously with the learning curve.

I finally made an account, and I would like to ask a few questions:

  1)  Which alt-coin currently has a high SHORT TERM value (over 6 months from now) and why?

  2)  Conversely, which alt-coin has a high LONG TERM value (over 1 year from now) and why?

  3)  How can I use guiminer-scrypt for P2P mining? Am I just dumb..?

Thank you all in advance!

EDIT:

Also, does anyone have any ideas as to why Bitcoin's value is down to $ 65 USD
