Title: What Are The Most Important Features To You?
Post by: RTRC on June 09, 2015, 06:18:25 PM
There are a lot of altcoins out there. Each one trying to be different. But I think that with this process of trying to be different, many coins are just running around in circles with pointless features.

What coins do you support and why those coins?

I personally like altcoins with an easy paypal -> altcoin transfer like dogecoin had. Mobile wallets are a plus. PoS and no premine obviously are important. A marketplace where the coin is accepted is great too. But these features are rather simple and are the basics for most altcoins. What coins stand out to you and why?

I wouldn't agree that POS is a basic feature that's important to all. Some POS coins are still vulnerable to attack, and some people just don't like POS.

The most important feature of a coin is its community. All other features pale in comparison.

But how is that community built? If the coin does not have promising features, it will not have a community right?

Most features are nothing but fancy bells and whistles with no real value. You can attract people with features, but it's things like community and a good development team that keeps them. Without that, most people will just move on to the next coin.

before anything the coin must not just be a simple copy of another altcoin, i prefer it to have some new features and features that are actually useful.

the coin must be adopted by people which means a coin that no one uses is useless even if it has the best features.

the last but not least, is the price. if i ever want to invest in an altcoin, i want at least an stable price and not an ever falling price which is headed towards 0.

I think, mainly because they offer something new and sometimes have exciting features. Progress and competition are generally good things. As for making a few bucks, yes that does not hurt either.

i am very satisfied from the features of ripple and stellar because the sending and receiving of transaction is fast
