Currently you can trade on BTC-e.com. mtGox (the main exchange for BTC) is adding it very soon, at which point the price will be standardized I think.

Still worth it IMO. Power consumption is lower with scrypt

All this coin bullshit is fine and dandy for now. Just wait till the government decides to get their share.

Not much, just doing it casually for now. Had to liquidate one of my GPUs for some cash, but I will get another one soon

I'm still lost.

What do you mine with a 'block' and how does mining it for x amount of minutes turn it into money?

It doesn't turn into money, it IS money.

I think all the new ppl that get into this will learn a lesson in the near by future, that money is never money, until it is realised.

until you have it in your wallet, and spend it.

things priced in BC are constant. your BC value doesn't rise and fall in that circle.

but if you're speculating and converting it to USD. it isn't worth what it's worth until you convert it.

just like a stock is not real money, until you cash out. until then, it's just "paper", and holds no real value.

remember that. it's not real till you cash out.

just like chips in a casino.

Wow, another weirdo has created a currency without any backing or guarantee of any sort.

I should start my own e-currency call questionable-coins, and make it worth 10mil USD for one QC, because I said so.

Yeah, just checking prices right now.. Litecoins are slowly getting support.

Prices are jumping over the place lately. Went from like under a dollar to 4.6 within a week. Dropped back down to 3.25 yesterday, went up to 4.6 today, and back to 3.2.

I'm buying some BTCs later and converting them to LTCs. Probably won't see any significant gains for a few months though.

Sorry for being so ignorant about this, but...someone had x amount of real dollars, converted it into said e-currency and scattered it across the web to be mined?



God I feel so lost with technology.
