Re: Alt-Coins

I am new to the whole mining experience but have learned a lot from this site.  I have come to realize that mining bitcoin is not going to be very effective for me.  I have decided to mine alternate coins.  I am doing this for fun so I am using my laptop and if/when an inexpensive hardware becomes available to plug into my laptop via usb for scrypt I may purchase.  I will be getting a usb miner for the sha coins.  I know ROI is not very likely.  Can someone tell me how to decided which ones are good or is is better to just mine some of each one and hope that one day they will be worth something. 

Building off this question, are Litecoins still the most cost effective cryptocurrency to mine? I heard that a lot this past spring, but things change so quickly.

some years / month ago they were the number 1 exchange but then they got in trouble with some laws, regulation and banks.

they are searching for other bank partners now, building a new server system (called midas) and try to work with regulators.

at the moment they have withdrawal issues when you try to get your USD out.


in my opinion they will "be back" soon and then better than before  Wink.

they also will accept Litecoin in the future.
Thanks for the response.

I tried verifying my account with them last week and it still hasn't gone through. No communication from them either. I emailed support three days ago and haven't gotten a response. Because of that, I would like to try a different online exchange. I've heard different names...coinbase, bitstamp, etc. but I don't really know which are more reputable, which have quicker withdrawal times, which are easier for a US based trader like myself to use. Any insight appreciated.

I just downloaded MultiBit and made my first wallet an hour ago and have been reading up on bitcoin. I've seen a lot of disparaging posts about MTGox. Can anyone tell me what's up with that? Should I not use their services?
