What is a good way to know or research what alt-currencies will be good or not? I agree as someone said some but not all will or could do well. Yet, there are at least 100 alt-currencies available. For instance, Quarkcoin is in the top 10, but at 243 million coins still outstanding, does anyone believe that this might hurt this particular currency?
Yeah , it will hurt mining when the reward goes to 1/16 per block.
Since it's cpu based > easy pray for a botnet.
Also it's inflation doesn't help it a lot compared to other coins. Why the hell have inflation when people went into cyptocoins for fear of inflation.
It's already have hurt mining, since current reward per block is 8 QRK, while it was 2048 at the beginning. And basically almost all quarks are already mined, so we just mining inflation, or about 0.4-0.5% currently mined quarks.
