Stick with LTC or mine according to:
http://dustcoin.com/mining
and
http://www.coinchoose.com/

(Currently it should be BitBar.)

After mining it for a day, convert your profits to BTC (or LTC if you are a believer).

I mine my coin of choice (Bitcoin) with my GPU's, and mine YAC with CPU's.

Bitcoin is the daddy coin (maybe not the most profitable for mining, but, mining supports a coin, and I support Bitcoin), and I also like to use up all available resources, so I mine YAC at the same time (YAC is the only CPU-only coin ATM)

Except Litecoin, Worldcoin seems really promising. It's very liked by the community, and well traded.

On this subject, mostly.

Is there a list somewhere of all/most coins, pools, etc.?

coinchoose.com looks like the best list of coins I have seen so far (been using it with bitcoin for some time).

I have selected litecoin as my 1st alternate, but my research was limited to recommendations in a couple IRC channels to this point.

As of today LTC and YAC are. A new coin came out yesterday called WDC which may or may not pan out. All the other coins like Frankos, Powercoins, GameCoins etc that came out over the last week are most likely not going to make it since they don't offer anything substantially different.

Are they like bitcoin clones?

For most profit (mining): WDC
Long term proofed: LTC
Experimental: YAC


Title: Re: What is the best alt-coin now?
Post by: DMIS on May 17, 2013, 11:58:04 AM
IMO the best one right now (not counting LTC which would be number 1 of course) is WDC, fast transactions look very impressive and promising.

Post by: Coreyok96 on May 22, 2013, 10:31:58 AM
Well, obviously litecoin is the best altcoin. It is one of the most mined coins and has been stable price wise for weeks now, after the jump from 50 cents, and everyone simply regards it to be the silver to bitcoin as gold. It was also launched October 9, 2011, so that shows that it's hanging around.

Otherwise, it depends what you want. The most profitable to mine, as of now, is Powercoin. The most CPU friendly is still YaCoin (out of coins that aren't regarded to as 'dead'. The highest price out of all altcoins is BitBar and the second highest is Novacoin. You decide.

I'm planning to stay with bitcoin at least for a few years. If some alt coin really picks up speed, it will be all over the forums anyway.
