Bitcoin is one of the cryptocurrencies in that they uses computing powers to generate out the virtual coins.   But there are however, a lot of interesting ideas being spawned out either for fun, to try to replace Bitcoin or try to complement Bitcoin.   Till now we have not seen any serious challengers to Bitcoin yet.   But it is fun to track those alternate cryptocurrencies, how their ideas come about and how they flourish or sank.   I setup this blog to document these interesting development of the past as well as the future as I am sure more alternate cryptocurrencies will come into play as the geniuses behind them push out their inventions and innovations.
