A very late reply, but how come a population disconnected from food and water supply be helped with Bitcoin?
Moreover its an internal issue. No need to meddle with it.

Dont know which coin to mine now. Switching to good old IFC. Will pile up the coins and see what happens to it.

If you are not gonna announce a coin that is going to be launched tomorrow, what makes you different from preminers?

I know of one such coin which everyone forgot but not yet dead - BBQCoin

Yeah whales are clever enough and they are not the vulnerable ones but you are.

Sure!! Thanks!! will follow that.

Again its sad to see this thread being hijacked by two newbie accounts self promoting an alt. 

I believe that for a cryptocurrency to be successful, three players are needed in the following ratio:

70%- End Users  (Someone who uses a cryptos to buy a cup of tea or a Ferrari)
Whats the use of cryptos for them? It should be just another currency but with quicker transaction times than traditional currencies. They shouldn't be bothered about profitability and stuffs.

15% - Miners (The good old miners who secure the network and keep the supply of coins)
Whats the use of cryptos for them? They run their spare machines to generate cryptos and make some money selling them.

15% - Investors/Traders (The people who brings in real world fiat money in to the system)
Whats the use of cryptos for them? They just play around with value of cryptos just like in real world stock markets to book some profit.


But whats happening in reality(excluding Bitcoin)?

95% - Miners+Traders
5% - End Users

That defeats the ultimate purpose of cryptos.

There used to be a time when miners used to mine altcoins and just hold them as an asset. I could just choose an altcoin, keep my miner pointed at for several weeks and finally sell it for a bargain (Not just dump it for the highest bidder). There were times when the value of altcoin just used to go up with difficulty level.

Now the altcoin scenario is highly saturated. New coins coming everday and miners are rushing to quickly mine-pump-dump the coins. Buy orders are also shrinking for most of the alts. Adding to this is new exchanges being announced for some of the new alts. So I cant just keep my miner pointed at a coin for more than 2 days. Ironically the value of some of the coins drops with increasing difficulty. A look at most of the topics in Alternate cryptocurrencies section just seem to be self promotion posts.

Simply I used to make 0.006 BTC per day with my 640Kh/s when BTC was 800 to 1000 USD. But now I'm not able to reach those levels (except when I caught the trains with Maxcoin, Myriad...) with BTC valued at 630 USD. Am I the only small scale miner here experiencing these or are you guys all switched to mining farm?

Looks like everyone with a BBQCoin wallet committed suicide and the network is protected by bots.

Bitcoin is like the Netscape Navigator of cryptos. It may either survive long enough or other cryptos will evolve to become the Chrome or Firefox of cryptos. So no need to worry about publicity. If the technology deserves it, it will get mass adopted.

Why cant Satoshi make a post from this profile https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=3 ?

Let me guess.
Myriad Coin?

Interested. PM me!!!

Looks like Chinese are in full throttle shopping.

Bitstamp holding at 400 right now. Anyway I'm not gonna sell my 0.6 BTC even if it goes to $10.

Gox made me an offer that I cant refuse. Gox declined to verify my account.

Oh no!!! I just woke up from my cryogenic chamber and found this. Thanks for the early warning.
Now its time for me to set to hibernation mode and return to Bitcoin scene after six months when things would settle down.

Sounds interesting!! I dont have much technical knowledge of this, but one thing I can say is this coin wouldn't be a decentralized one. Unlike other cryptos involved in useful tasks like finding the largest prime numbers, this coin would always need a third party supply of raw SETI data. You could design the network to run without SETI data but then it would beat the purpose.

Looking forward to more ideas anyway.
