Bitcoin Forum

alright, I am kinda on the forum, but I have been around.

Have you guys thought about what makes a coin that 'should be in exchanges'?
I just thought about that, and realize some coins are to be taken seriously, while Most arent.

to be, the list looks like this:

The Boss: Where he goes, we follow.
Bitcoin

The Mid Bosses: Where they are is hard-earned, don't expect too much more. (for now)
Litecoin
Dogecoin
Peercoin
Namecoin

The Try Hards: Potentials for outbreak. Depends on market's outlook.
Worldcoin
Darkcoin  <-- new add
Feathercoin

Removed:
Megacoin removed. I learned they borrowed the brand of Mega, and has nothing to do with the corp.
Quark removed. I learned they were instamined from multiple source, and lost credibility through denials despite obvious evidence.

I cannot take Ripple seriously, I mean who does.
Same with Primecoin, which I see extremely limited development, it is really there just because.
Mastercoin/NZT I also cannot take seriously, same as ripple.

While Aurora and Spain.. well, too soon?
SpainCoin doesn't even look legit to me, does it to anyone?

InfiniteCoin and Novacoin... well, it has a trading volume of a tea-spoon.
I think these two will disappear completely soon.
Bitshares (protoshares), this one has always been iffy to me.


Do you guys ingeneral agree with me?

here's to support my claim about bitshares:
http://www.btc38.com/altcoin/pts/1009.html

Here the chinese is basically reporting scams relating to that crypto.
that seems to be on going development, so I really don't think it is time to trust it yet.

add Darkcoin.

The Boss: BTC
ThE Mid Boss: LTC
The shit: 200+ coins
The Super shit: ALL IPO COINS

Don't forget Nxt. A new development no shitcoin. This could be the boss next year.

as a Mid Boss

Add Carpediem! :) Looks good enough.

DVC is to be taken seriously

Your forgetting blackcoin.

The Boss: BTC
The Non Shit: Huntercoin
The Shit: the rest

ripple xrp.

Nope, does not agree with you

Ok, so I’m relative new to all of this. So in the spirit of gaining acumen of crypto currencies, what metrics should I judge individual coins to to determine their relative merit? This is a very exciting, yet somewhat baffling technology-
A simple list of traits and what benefit those traits provide would be great!
Thnx

Hi there!

I'm not going to directly answer your question, but have something else to say.

The MOST important thing in this forum sub-section is to be aware of people that seem uninterested and unbiased, but promote you crap with an agenda. That agenda is to dump their coin on you and leaving you holding the bag of air, and get real world money out of it. That real world money is Bitcoin. With high-minded arguments, distractions, hopes and dreams. Those can be coin holders, IPO promoters, all sorts of shills, scammers etc... There's a complete gamut here, from serious people that just once in a while play this zero-sum game and I have no morals to criticize, to deep down the bottom.

There _are_ coins with future and generally the OP of this thread is correct in my view. I'm talking about other threads, posts, forums, etc...

Now, for speculation, day trading and making a profit, the rules are entirely different. There are great opportunities out there, I'm sure, but I have no experience and worthy advice to give on this.

+1

Anoncoin is a good coin

I agree, if it ends up doing what it claims.

ADT will do well this year :)

There is no way NobleCoin shouldn't be on this list.

darkcoin as the future boss.

I agree that Darkcoin seems to offer an actual evolution of what made Bitcoin interesting in the first place, rather than some gimmick/meme marketing feature of what is otherwise essentially the same product as 200+ other coins.

Next???

Ugh dogecoin - Huge instamine first couple weeks

This thread: not to be taken seriously.

you got one thing right.

Megacoin is to be taken VERY seriously.

Some coins like Vertcoin requires a pump to survive. Pump without development is just a waste of money.
Vertcoin just showed they got nothing left to prove. Dump it all.

BUY MEGACOIN.

Blackcoin is an instamined gimmicky sponger!



As for good coin, i suggest to take a look at Myriad, NO premine, 5 indipendent algos that allow to mine it with whatever, asic, gpu and cpu.

i found this on reddit and i totally agree:


http://www.reddit.com/r/myriadcoin/comments/209fwu/genuine_question_about_myriadcoins_multiple/

is this sarcasm? what on earth is special about goldcoin, supposed to be joking right?

I think it is bitcoin, litecoin, maybe peercoin and maybe namecoin and that will be it, world does not need any more coins unless there is a significant improvement. Though they always claim so and there never is.

NEM with POI ;D

+1
These are the only ones to take seriously

How much restraint did you have to use to not list Dogecoin in The Boss category?

1 billion plus to be BOSS !!

mid-boss are the established coins.

and the try hards are coins with pretty developers behind them.
I think I want to add Vertcoin behind them too after yesterday's move,
but in cryptsy, the orders are clearly placed by a bot... I didn't know there's a 'pump bot'. haha, is that new?

I guess most of coin developers will come here now and place here their own coin.

get to know unobtanium before you kick yourself in a few weeks that you didn't take this advice.

Fedoracoin (TIPS)  8)

The Internet Payment System

MazaCoin (MZC)

It's having a lot of difficulties with poor communication, but the lead developer is extremely dedicated. If it gets official, it's a first in cryptocurrency history (an admittedly short section of history).

anyone know of a promising currency that is not just a fork with different hashing algo and block time

XCP, NXT, MSC

I think the mid-boss probably won't go too high for now.. bad day for litecoins. :(

on the next ride up, I think the try-hards might do better.. (really, just thinking out now, don't judge me pls)

I think I will give them 1-2 BTC each.. just to let you guys know later which one did best.

Dogecoin

DISCLAIMER: I am the lead of the development team for the new altcoin, AppleBytes - coming in April.

We are currently focused on building the local user community, artists and art lovers in NYC.

Please take a look, we believe our focus on the user community first, will lead to long-term growth.
Additionally, we are the first altcoin to use crowd funding to fund development, so the Dev team is paid in Bitcoin, not premine.


More Details are here:

Announce thread: ANN Thread (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=503131.0)

1) Virtual Coin
2) Particle Coin
3) Bitnote (maybe)

Feathercoin is horrible

LTC
VertCoin
Myriad
HeavyCoin

1. bitcoin
2. litecoin
3. dogecoin
4. darkcoin

MZC still has 176 TH mining it.

Keep an eye out for Zeit. POW/POS hybrid which is about to enter its POS phase. Strong community and active devs and a purpose other than "get rich quick." Zeit is a long term investment. About to go through its second block, and the price is still low. So now is the time to buy!

What about EMUCOIN : https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=494855.0

It is very cheap and it may come back!?

I have been buying 15 alt coins but I have changed my mind and sold most of them to buy LTC and Dogecoin

This. ^
Doge and Bitcoin are the only ones that will keep living.

It was one of the first coins to become resistant to 51% attack and to become multi-pool resistant. Its developer is considered one of the rising stars in the crypto industry and is currently working on a complete rewrite of the bitcoin code base. Plus the coin has a pretty cool name.

Anoncoin is the next big coin.  Actual innovation, not just another shitcoin.

Peercoin.

The savings account of cryptos in a future of crypto ubiquity. (Gain's one percent interest through proof of stake minting).

PoS provides increased protection against 51% attacks.

Fixed transaction fee gets destroyed providing deflation to balance out the inflation from proof of stake.
So if too many people save for too long, PoS devalues the currency and incentivises people to spend.
If too many people spend the price goes up motivating people to save a little more, and an equilibrium is established.

Third largest crypto by marketcap (not counting ripple and auroracoin).

peercoin for big transactions, and primecoin for smaller transactions provides a dual environmentalist's crypto option. The big transactions can be handled mostly by stake in the future and the tiny transactions, which require PoW because they're all spammy, have an energymulti-use option (currently finding prime numbers).

Peercoin came out long before this recent trend of altcoin mania.

Most of the money that people keep in the legacy financial system is kept in savings accounts and bonds. Like 80 percent of it. If Peercoin grows to fulfill its role as a savings commodity then it has to potential to blow up much higher than bitcoin.

If any altcoin is to be taken seriously it's Peercoin.

I vote DGC. Been around quite awhile and Baritus is one of the most competent Devs on the scene, IMO.

I would also like to see XPM, as that provides some real use for the electricity spent.

Lets see, what other coins am I holding...  ;)

Digitalcoin (DGC) should be added to the list. They have a lot of projects coming out soon. Poker for DGC was just released. The transactions and block confirms are crazy quick. I sent some from my PC to my laptop and they showed up within 3 seconds.

Other than Litecoin, the ones I believe in are Doge, Digital, Myriad, and NXT.

But Digital has taken some hits with all the stuff going on with CryptoAve and the stolen wallet of Baritus.  It could be a big setback but we'll see.  It kinda depends on what you mean by "to take seriously".  I think Doge will be around and used, but I don't know if the value can ever go up too high.  Myriad is primed for a jump based on the goals of the coin (IMO).  Digital and NXT are two I'm closely watching.

I haven't paid a whole lot of attention to Goldcoin, Worldcoin, or Darkcoin.  The rest I really haven't been impressed with.  Especially the geographic coins.

Well, DigiByte isn't shit for certain. It's not super popular, but its developer made the DigiShield 2.0, used in other coins. And the community is nice, plus the price being stable (nevermind that recent turbulence caused by entering Craptsy).

Myriad and Darkcoin

Tenfivecoin

Best website of a coin and I think mobile is the future.

DGC it is. Under the radar still until mega breakout. Best time to get in before we go back up to 30k+ satoshis. Happened before, will happen again with the amount of development put into the coin continuously for almost a year now.

No Premine
No Instamine
Fair Distribution (long-term mineable, no pump n' dump)
144 million coins (compared to LTC's 80 million coins)
Active Developing Team
Much Faster Than Litecoin: 40 second blocks
100% Track Record (no forks)
Great Community
Paper Wallets
Java Lightweight Client
Actual DGC Stores To Buy Goods and Services
CryptoAve DGC/USD Exchange Will Be Back Soon
Followed By Enabling Of Merchant Services
Newly Designed Digitalcoin.co Website In The Pipe
Awesome Name

And the list goes on.

Not to be taken seriously:

Litecoin

Are you kidding me, this coin was dying before all the hype of being added to Chinese exchanges.  What sort of real development has taken place in the last 2 years??? That's right, virtually nothing.

Only going down from here

Good site! Really quick deposits! I was playing in 7 min. Also got 100 free Chips just for signing up.

Sorty but tenfive coin is just an awful name. If it wantd to be taken seriously it needs a name change

My list:

The Boss:
Bitcoin

The Mid Bosses:
Litecoin
Devcoin
Peercoin
Namecoin

The Try Hards:
Primecoin
Worldcoin
Earthcoin
Goldcoin

Wouldn't really waste my time with any others at this stage, IMO.

anybody mentioned Digitalcoin before?

hmmm, earth coin went down 87% over the last 30 days ...

I put the coins for comparing together here:
http://www.crypto-coins-table.com/?wl=llMVhVvP

(you can create your own watchlist for analysing a certain set of coins)

Thanks nice link.

NEM

PoI is the future ;)

(1) Most coins are doomed to fail therefore ensure you hold mostly Bitcoin and Litecoin (say 70%). Most people are speculating on altcoins to buy more Bitcoin/Litecoin before the altcoin market consolidates.
(2) Never listen to anything on an exchanges trollbox.
(3) Never leave your coins on an exchange. Remember these are unregulated exchanges (you wouldn't trust your money with somebody you have just met would you). Transfer them to your personal wallet (only download from the coins official website) ensuring that you password encrypt them with a secure password (atleast 30 digits). You should always backup your wallet on multiple external hard drives/USB sticks. I personally have all my coins stored on two external hard drives and not on my desktop ensuring that they are offline and away from hackers. Your passwords should be offline and never kept in the same location as your coins. If you lose your passwords you have lost your coins therefore more than one copy is sensible. It will take some time to synchronize your wallets, however it's worth it for the security and control.
(4) Timing - Don't buy a coin because you are afraid of missing the train. If a coin is rising fast without good reason it is been artificially inflated to be dumped on the market. Only buy when it's settled in price (after the fall). When you are happy to buy monitor the exchanges for a while to ensure you are not buying at the daily peak. You will notice that nobody buys at the current sell price, therefore I suggest you don't either.
(5) When considering coins other than Bitcoin/Litecoin you should pick those that have innovation. An example would be ASIC resistance. I suggest you read up on this as this could be a game changer.
(6) Be careful investing in coins with premines (mining coins before the launch date) and IPOs (initial public offerings). Either avoid or spend more time researching these.
(7) Too many newbies panic sell when the price falls. If you avoid buying into a pump and ensure you buy at a 24 hour low you should hold through panic sells as it's probably a trap.
(8) Maybe not a rule however I prefer coins with a block reward that halves no less that every 2-4 years.
(9) There is no substitute for research. People here are biased and will try everything to get you to buy their coin. Make sure you are comfortable with the coins as nobody will offer you a refund when it goes wrong.

Why, what's wrong with coins that halve more often?

I question how secure the network will be when the block reward halves to the extent that the coin isn't profitable to mine (Quarkcoin for example, 51% attack). The price would have to rise dramatically to keep up with the block reward halving (I said it wasn't a rule, just makes me feel uneasy). The only solution to this issue is mass adoption with people using it as a currency generating transaction fees. It seems unlikely this will happen anytime soon.

That's why actively developed coins will replace litecoin.

explain?

1. BTC. Mostly because it was number one and most widely accepted. Either if you like it or not, this has to get pushed into mainstream, then the other coins will also get more accepted.
2. LTC. Same as number one.
3. Mintcoin. I think this coin will go up, as it has a good dev, good website, is on many exchange sites. Right now is in the gutter, but who knows?
4. Vertcoin. Coin of asic resistance, good community.
5. Goldcoin. Dev good, and one of the first to find a solution for 51% threats.
6. Darkcoin, as more people become concerned about there privacy.
7. I like flutter coin, as it is POW, POS, and POB, which is proof of block. Basically whenever you send a transaction you have a chance of getting blocks.

I have BTC LTC DogeCoin

And I have some EMUCOIN : https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=494855.new#new in case it picks up

I would bet on a coin backed by a huge bank from Hong Kong or Sinagapor and backed by Gold as well

DGC really deserves more attention, been out for 10 months and has been very well maintained, pretty much proven to be an honest coin at this point.

BTC,LTC,NXT,VTC,HVC.

NEM is getting huge.

All im saying is that if you havent read up on it, get over there and check it out.

Make you own decision on it.

And if you dont agree id love to hear why. But please check it out, I mean really give it a quick look before posting some crazy shit based off of something you heard. Like its just a nxt clone. Cause its built from scratch

NEM, Einsteinium,  Blackcoin

Bitcoin sCrypt

http://picadump.com/pictures/bitcoin/Bitcoin_sCrypt.png

www.digitalcoin.co

New website is now active!

You should add SVC Sovereigncoin, Not a shitcoin!!

QFT

Goldcoin is the future!

Add Solarcoin (SLR) !! Solarcoin is the next big up-and-comer, it will be the next DOGEcoin at least and most likely will take over the #2 spot from Litecoin.  Solarcoin has a detailed infrastructure already in place with the solar industry, so it's going to go WAY up in value and stay there.

And I'm not just saying that because I'm holding 80,000 SLR waiting for prices to surge so I can profit out of it.  Long term hold for maximum profit, NOW is the time to get in on it!!!
  


 
 
 
 
 
 

Right now everyone should look for non-Scrypt coins as these are the ones that will do well when the Scrypt ASICs hit. Take a quick read of the article on Scrypt and the impact that ASICs will have, there's a bit of history in it for SHA-256 ASIC impact.

Changing landscape for GPU miners (http://www.reddit.com/r/Hirocoin/comments/215lkd/changing_landscape_for_scrypt/)

Scrypt-Jane and Adaptive-N give diminishing returns. There is X11 by Evan Duffield which performs better than Scrypt and uses less energy. Take a look at Hirocoin, it is a thoroughly coded and looks to be the new home for GPU miners. When GPU miners look at the cost of mining and factor it in X11 will be the next choice for them, due to the complexity of X11 it will be ASIC free for a long time even if there is another round of ASICs.

http://www.hirocoin.org/img/hirocoin.pnghttp://www.hirocoin.org/img/x11small.png (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=516349.0)

That's the hard thing, which algo will gpu miners hop on next? Many people banking on vertcoin, but it could be something else.

Dogecoin v2 haha! No seriously every coin brings new features so all dépends on hype.

You guys are funny. The absolute only coin brought up in this thread with any recent volume or growth (20x in the last 10 days!) is blackcoin, which was barely mentioned then dismissed as a shitcoin.

GRIDCOIN! science + mining!

check it!

I am trying to get some hype back on EMUCOIN https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=494855.new#new

It is not easy to say the least, you can vote for your fav coin here : https://coinano.com/vote

- Bitcoin
- Litecoin

- Fedoracoin
- Earthcoin
- Dogecoin
- Topcoin
- Eccoin
- Mintcoin
- Kittehcoin
- Leafcoin

its not a future coin!

Besides BTC, I hold now a few others in some decent volume (bought yesterday and today), but I will not insult people's intelligence by promoting them.

There's only one coin where I wouldn't mind to do so. That one which PoW was actually useful, associated with Boinc, protein folding or whatever that was, CureCoin. It seems dead though  :(

really? earthcoin? leafcoin?

BTC
LTC
small class few coins (DOGE DARK AURORA, BITBAR)
all other coins

Why include Fedoracoin in your list?

I notice it suddenly jumped up in price yesterday. Is there a reason for this like new added features or services?

+1

X11 is sweet. It's going to be really interesting to watch this play out. Vert will be one, but the recent ramping up of the diff already makes it hard for smaller miners.

Quality/innovative next-gen algo coins will be the future....i hope.

Coin2 slowly but surely ....

WDC on the list for sure

Cryptogenic Bullion - under the radar but one of the most solid coins out there (trading on alltime bottom)

http://cgb.holdings/
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=245086.0

These are all shit premined / instamined scam coins.

Megacoin - 22 Million Coins
Worldcoin - 49.5 Million Coins
Feathercoin - 37.5 Million Coins
Quark - 247.6 Million Coins

- Fedoracoin
- Digibyte
- Dope

These which you are putting as Mid Bosses were my favorite in 2013, but unfortunately i stoped believing that they will go to the moon. Even start to think that they will dip into the shits...It is only my opinion.

BR,

Gondel

Good roundup.

But on Primecoin I disagree. Lets not understimate the advantages of a functional proof of work.

I works very well to talk about XPM to people outside of the community or even hostile to crypto currency.
It helped me to bring a number of conversations to good reason and out of prejudice for "cpu waste" arguments.

p.s. oh and Dogecoin... srsly.... ok... to the moooooon  ::)

bitcoin

litecoin

dogecoin

darkcoin

Check out what Coin2 is doing with it's beta of the new FPS game where you pay a c2 ante and the winner takes the pot. Very new coin with an already stable price that's very novel.

I'm super excited about Hirocoin and extremely impressed with all of the positive feedback from people mining the coin, especially the ongoing praise of your work as the developer.


"For anybody thinking of becoming a dev of a coin ^ This guy, is who you should model yourselves on."  -mikk2k2

Primecoin is good.

Also CopperLark is perspective - has good community and it's own professional trading platform ( https://upbit.org/?ref=1027 (https://upbit.org/?ref=1027) ).

HeavyCoin is interesting too.

Just shut your butthurt lying ass will ya. Not everything has to be a Bitcoin copy you whining bitch. quark wasn't pre mined or instamined and it can be mined for ever, it was even harder than prime coin to mine so go cry somewhere else or get a job and buy it instead of whining about not getting free money through mining

Seriously?!? What will happen when the solar power companies dump their massive stakes that they receive... 1 satoshi?

BellaCoin ;D It's in its infancy however:

http://www.bellacoin.com/

Dev knows what he is doing, nice slow release (small block reward) and the wallet has a pile of really nice features built in:

• Block explorer
• News feed
• Network statistics
• Multiple pool status's
• Voucher redemption?
• Trade statistics
• All alongside the standard wallet functionality

LOL. I've never owned one of the above coins, never mined anything and I already have a job thanks.

Don't spread your FUD. Bitshares is clearly trustworthy (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=526360.msg5841906#msg5841906).

This ^^ . DopeCoin ftw.

Coins to take seriously: Huntercoin, Datacoin, Riecoin, Darkcoin

Agree. +1

Fedoracoin (TIPS)

The Internet Payment System

The devs are up to something big in the future

earthcoin - just the name

Leafcoin -  the devs are very active and busy for the future

darkcoin - SCAMCOIN

Kings
Bitcoin
Litecoin

Potential
Myriad
Huntercoin

SHA Coin ... just ended the POW phrase... is now pure POS

Earthcoin has steadily dropped a lot in price since it's launch. It would be nice for it to recover, but I cannot see it. The only way I can see earthcoin going from here is down

I'm telling you, Solarcoin is the one to buy!  Its difficulty is low and easy to mine because few people are aware of it yet, and it can be bought on Allcrypt and one other exchange.  It is coming to 2 more exchanges next week, so now is the time to buy in and drive its price sky high!  (so I can unload my 80,000 SLR and make a huge profit!)   8)

Secondscoin.
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=381587.0

It easy to mine because noone is aware of it. But I see a bright future!

Really? No one advised iCoin? iCoin is one the most serious coin out there at the moment.
The name, graphic designs and the developers are very professional.

when the icoin community manager says so it must be true! :o

Was expecting a response like that. haha.
Well, it's worth to take a look, even though I am community manager.

dogecoin and dogecoin only. official coin of Nascar

It's still near the top of the coin rankings.

Mintcoin

Fedoracoin because of it's facebook tip bot

Anyone care to expand on blackcoin and darkcoin more? I put a little into blackcoin already and also am thinking about darkcoin.

I'm impressed with blackcoin's price resiliency to the hack/stolen coins today (and the fact that hackers would think it valuable enough to steal, I suppose). 

I'm interested in darkcoin's privacy aspect.

Thoughts on how serious to take these two?

 The Darkcoin developer, eduffield, is so dedicated to the coin he has quit his job and is solely working on the coin as his primary job. Several of his inventions in the coin has been already incorporated into other coins, X11, DarkGravityWave, and eventually DarkSend will be open-sourced. 

Lottocoin watch at the price how cheap they are now soon the cheap lotto is over massive price rise comes get in cheap before its too late

there is absolutely no reason this coin will gain in value for the long term. Lottocoin has no technical advantage over other coins and why should I buy my movie tickets or porn with Lottocoin?

Serious coins are the coins with the biggest market cap!

actually the coins with the biggest market cap are manipulated instamines, like Ripple, Auroracoin, NXT, and to an extent Doge. since there are few address that hold a majority of existing supply, if they never sell and slowly pump the price they can get on top of the list pretty easy.

As far as honest coins go, I'm invested in Digitalcoin(DGC). It's been around for about 11 months now, and it's been a good ride the entire time. We're at another bottom, probably towards the end of summer we'll get another BTC boom and things will liven up again.

worldcoin as in sharmbeck worldcoin? I lol

and feathercoin?  bwhahahahaha, now i can really laugh.
all try tryhards are trash, and most pre/instamined.

NXT / QRK / Coin2 / MZC / H2O COin

Over at Allcrypt, the price of Solarcoin has been slowly rising this whole week.  NOW is the time to get in on it and buy it up and mine it!

my coins that i'm holding now is the most seriously you guys have to take seriously to :D :D :D

Digitalcoin and Vertcoin.  No pre and instamine.  Serious developers and stable. I only hope DGC will adapt to an ASIC resistant algo (X-11 or N fact)

you should also list some dead or dying coin .

Everybodu is posting their favorite coin which they mined and hope it will make them rich, but the true is way far from this.

BR,

Gondel

The Coins that you should look at taking seriously are the ones that are going to be at the CryptoCurrency Convention. http://www.cryptocurrencyconvention.com/

Check out POP we are an up and comer Now on Allcrypt and CryptoRush



Why invest in POP?

★ Because We are working to lift the entire CryptoCurrency Community into the Hands of Popular Culture by giving them an easy way to buy into the market.

★ We have a strong community of miners that have been mining for two months and have just got on our first exchange so there is plenty to go around and its going for cheap!
★ https://cryptorush.in/index.php?p=trading&m=POP&b=BTC   

★ There are less than 1 billion Coins in existence right now which is 1/90 to IFC so theoretically the Price should be 90 X IFC which would put us at 810 satoshi

★ I am designer/co-dev (CryptoJet) giving a presentation and this years Crypto Currency Convention http://www.cryptocurrencyconvention.com/ also,
★ just input promo code "POP" for 1/2 off your entry ticket to the convention, that saves you $100

★ We are doing extensive polling to find out what exactly Popular Opinion is within the Crypto Community

★ Mining is extremely fun and there is even a Super Epic Reward of 100,000X Coins every 9,999 blocks

★ We have an Art Design By an Award Winning Artist that even met Niel Armstrong (landed on the Moon) Joe Jones http://airmail-greetings.com/about_the_artist.php

★ Not only are we looking to lift the entire Crypto Currency Community we are also looking to benefit the entire world

★ We had 0 premine and are Not Looking dump our coin and abandon our community, we are in it for the Long Haul

★ We even Have a Featured Artist Every three months on our website!

Take a Look!

We are even a Hosted Coin on CryptoCoin Talk!  https://cryptocointalk.com/forum/768-popularcoin-pop/

BCX loves to troll us noobs, that's why I nominate Trollcoin, it's going to become the coin everyone assumed was shit but turned pure troll gold.
I say this because I'm helping develop it, & I believe in myself!!! [visual: nerd fist-pump x10]

A few people have mentioned it, but once again:

Mid-boss: Huntercoin (http://huntercoin.org/) (HUC)

Huntercoin is:

1) The first Namecoin fork
2) The ONLY Namecoin fork
3) Parallel SHA-256 & scrypt merged mined
4) The first & only massively multiplayer online cryptocurrency GAME!
5) Has multiple developers supporting it
6) Has clear and obvious value beyond being a currency
7) Is by far the most innovative coin to come out in forever + a day
8) Has multiple 3rd party developers behind it

No other coin comes remotely close to what Huntercoin has achieved, and it's just getting started. (Perhaps a few with massive funding/support might be considered, e.g. Ethereum.)

Download the Huntercoin source code and have a look. HUC is one to keep your eye on closely if you're not already buying some up, or playing it! :D

Here's a peek at some of the cool stuff coming to Huntercoin & Namecoin:

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=435170.msg5934323#msg5934323

This shit cracks me up.

"Here's the coins im holding, go buy them."

Nothing special about those coins.

i think ripple might interest some of you, it's more than just a 'coin', it's a complete payment system with an exchange built in.  you can trade both fiat currency and cryptos in ripple.

anyway, to learn more about it, read here:  http://coinjoint.info/ripple-might-want-pay-attention/ and there are intros and guides here:  https://xrptalk.org/forum/61-faq-and-guides/

there is a charting website as well for traders:  http://www.ripplecharts.com/#/

you can also 'mine' xrp (currency in ripple) via computing for good:  https://www.computingforgood.org/

 ;D
Obviously, the second generation cryptocurrency.

Over at Allcrypt, the price of Solarcoin has been slowly rising this whole week.  NOW is the time to get in on it and buy it up and mine it!  Solarcoin (SLR) !


It has gone from 900 satoshi to over 2000 satoshi in the past week!

"Now is the time to get in so i can dump. "

The real time to get in was at 900...

What coin is coming up this weekend or further into the months that looks like it will do well and last?
 :-\
I would like to make money but would like a coin to last and it would be nice to be on it from the start.
;D

Any suggestions?
 ;)

If value isn't a criteria. Skeincoin. (Skein-SHA256) is innovative enough. just a bit ignored, but a great community. 

Digitalcoin. An established coin approaching its anniversary.
It's fast, no premine, never forked, long term stability, is fairly distributed unlike Quark.

The endless "Quark was not fairly mined" BS really gets old.  It wasn't.  The coin was announced and mined just like many other coins that were released at that same time (June 13, 2013).  It was announced that blocks would be mined at initial rewards of 2048 coins/block halving every 3 weeks.  I mined it with a total of THREE machines running a CPU miner and did so for over 6 months.  Yeah, that was unfair.  

Keep spreading this uninformed FUD just because you read it in another thread though.


Edit:  I do like Digitalcoin, for what it's worth, and have ever since it launched.  Barritus did the best job of a fair launch that had been done at the time, and probably since...

Unfortunately, the fair launch has (arguably) held DGC down ever since.  People can't pump and dump mass amounts like 90% of coins these days, so there is less interest (buzz.)  Hoping it stays strong after the impending altcoin (dotcom) crash.

I'm very excited to see what https://www.cryptoaltex.com/ can do though.  Dat DGC market...

Fecescoin definitely

Keep an eye out for Zeit. POW/POS hybrid which is about to enter its POS phase. Strong community and active devs and a purpose other than "get rich quick." Zeit is a long term investment. About to go through its second block, and the price is still low. So now is the time to buy!

add Xedoscoin.

I agree, Fecescoin is the shit!

I honestly don't know enough about Blackcoin, must look into it, but here is a bit of info on Darkcoin:

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=421615.0

Darkcoin has a full time developer named Evan Duffield (eduffield) who has already put so many innovations in the coin, it's far above and beyond any other coin.

1.  new algorithm to keep ASICs at bay, X-11.  other coins have already copied this algorithm, as soon as 1 day after Darkcoin's launch!

2.  New way to calculate rewards based on difficulty, a version of Moore's law 2222222/(((Difficulty+2600)/9)^2)

3.  When KGW was found to have an Achilles heel with a time warp exploit, Evan came up with his own Difficulty Retargeting solution and called it Dark Gravity Wave, DGW, and it follows the difficulty changes like  glove, it's amazing.

4. And the real reason for Darkcoin's existence is DarkSend.  DarkSend is the technology behind Darkcoin's anonymous transaction features.  They are implemented inside the wallet in a decentralized, trustless solution.  We are currently in Beta 5 (actually skipped Beta 4) and it's running on the main net.  You can find the white paper at the above link.

What is really great is that Darkcoin is way undervalued still, we have no idea why?  But it's currently been slowly creeping up in value, so it's a great time to purchase Darkcoin as part of your portfolio.  We have practically no history of pumping and dumping (except for a rather long story in the beginning where someone got ahold of bitcoin that didn't belong to them on C-CEX, bought up all the Darkcoin they could with it, then transferred it to Cryptsie where they sold all the dark coin off in a huge dump.  This is where you'll see a very strange peak and valley in, I think it was, early February)

This is a serious coin, we know we have a good thing, but we have not been good at getting the word out.  I feel awkward writing all this, but I've decided that I have to do my part to spread the word.  Even a brilliant coin is nothing without a community, and we've been a quiet bunch who don't seem to want to stick our heads outside the forum just to have it chopped off by Blue Meanies! LOL.

I myself have bought a bunch of this coin about 2 weeks ago at above 0.0016 btc a couple of weeks ago, it's currently trading around 0.00142 or so, so I can tell you it's still an excellent time to invest.  DarkSend will soon be out of beta and when it is, we expect things will quickly change.

There you have it.  I only want to deliver information, maybe with a little of my own opinion.   I honestly believe in this coin, and hope I come across as a person delivering information and not hype.  If you've read this, I thank you for doing so, and hope you will join us 

I forgot one fact, Evan has added over 10,000 lines of code to the 'ol bitcoin wallet/system.  When Darksend is released, it will be open source but people will not be able to easily just implement the code in their coin, it will take someone with a lot of skill to do so .

HoboNickels is a great coin too. Great stake and pretty stable. Oh did I mention it has good devs too ;D

vertcoin is really candidate for next big thing!

huntercoin is another serious business. real application based on block chain. you can't miss it.

If you haven't gotten in on SolarCoin (SLR) yet, you need to!  The trade volume is rising every day at allcrypt.com, one of the exchanges that trades it.  Don't delay!

Solarcoin!

Your point of view I mostly agree, the prospect of bitcoin is certainly depends on the market, the people need him, he will be there, or else will soon disappear in the eyes of the people.

I've seen it, nothing innovative IMO.

Coin2 (C2)

Darkcoin

Cryptographic Anomaly will take over... keep an eye on it  ;)

CGAnomaly.com (http://cganomaly.com)

BTC prooved itself, litecoin too, rest is crap so far ...

+1 Yeah, was just going to say the same thing. Replace those with DGC and SRC.

SEcurecoin looks interesting. What was most noticeable supports blake and sha-3 (at least for me). My one question is, what came first? This or Myarid?

Bagholders festival right here

NEM coin is my favorite.

With biggest IPO in history of all cryptos....

Nem will be BTC's brother.

And maybe ripple....protocol

Day 3 new girl...

So no sooner do I learn bitcoin is rapidly wedging a place in the world as a viable alternative currency, now I learn there are a slew of other ones.

Bitcoin has legs. Real world businesses are beginning to use it, accept it, or facilitate it.

If none of these other altcoins do that, their days would be numbered. What's the reason they exist? Can they be created or earned in some measurable and fair way and cashed out for real products and services or are they all strictly an in world currency for an in world economy?

I know I can go to Starbucks and buy coffee with bitcoin. I know I can shop with a gyft card and use bitcoin.

Anybody take neatocoin? darkcoin? litecoin? dogecoin? kickincoin? etal? No, nor do they have a clue what it is and frankly all of these actually sound like scamcoin for that reason alone...and even harder of a journey to be accepted in any mainstream way. It's going to be even harder without a real focus on the PR aspect to even get noticed outside bitcoin when bitcoin's PR is low grade.

What benefit do these altcoins give us at the end of the day?

Thanks!

(not knocking, just asking)

I hope you're joking... if not, you're fuckun dumb.

NXT
NEM
MAYBE ripple and maybe ethereum. I hope bitcoin continues to do well (at least for the near term), obviously.
Most of the rest I really don't see offering anything really that innovative. I think dogecoin is funny and I don't mind it sticking around just to bring new people into cryptos that otherwise wouldn't have checked them out. Don't really like these country coins like AUR, so I don't care if they crash and burn.

Check for Betacoin

Seriously.  Every one of these type of threads turns into the same thing, people promoting their crapcoin to try and sucker in buyers.  There are a few good coins (and I mean very few) that have been named, but some of these are just comical. 

Darkcoin is the only one I'm taking seriously, besides the big boys like btc, ltc.  I'm holding a bunch of other coins, but they're all a gamble, and I honestly expect they'll be worthless in six months.

It's just a clone and a non-popular one. I mined about 1500 when there was nothing better. Not even worth dumping now :D

Have you actually seen noblecoin? Well designed coin, have a marketplace where you can buy bullion, steam gift cards, etc. They sponsor many charity events and ESEA frequently. A article I read said noblecoin had social innovation, which I agree with.

Huntercoin

It is "merge mined" just like NMC ect.  This will keep HUC network just as strong as BTC/LTC.  It can be mined Scrypt or ASIC, but 90% of the coins are earned "in game".

+1 not to mention honest dev and community full of integrity and true to their NOBLE name. Its not just that there is support behind noble and dedicated staff, but they are smart and have the kind of character and mindset that truly uses cryptocurrencies to better the world. I mean just one look at www.noblemovement.com will show you what we are talking about.

Exactly. So yeah it maybe a script clone, but its different and stands out.

Someone just bought up 20,000 of my Solarcoins for 0.6 BTC!  I have 67,000 more, buy now while you can!  The price and volume has been steadily increasing on its exchanges, buy now!  PM me! 20,000 SLR for 0.6 BTC.

What about Vertcoin

Check for NEM

I have read many opinions, and added/removed some on my list.

though of course, the list is subjective only. though I am a real investor, so I do put my money where I say I will.

There's about 70,000 Solarcoin (SLR) available on Allcrypt right now at 0.000016 per,  NOW would be a great time to buy it up and ride it to profits!

Hi,

if you want to create a coin watchlist you can use

http://crypto-coins-table.com

I created a List of Nation-Coins here:

http://crypto-coins-table.com/?wl=l29AcqLj

Do you guys think Trollcoins will ever be taken seriously? I mean its supposed to be a fun coin, but under the hood, it's no different than any other solid altcoin.

1. vert
2. heavy
3. groestl
4. darkcoin

Fluttercoin

offers proof of transactions


you can get more coins by simply sending some to another person, that's new and innovative!

all X11 coins like Global Denomination

Boss:
Bitcoin

MidBoss:

Litecoin
Feathercoin
Peercoin

forget the others.

So many recs....Looks like I have my work cut out for me...off to research

new algorithm just means 51% security risk. Stick with scrypt, ASIC miners will make the network secure. Change isnt always good.

If I were you I would look at some of the "next generation" coins that offer some extra features such as built-in exchanges, marketplaces, etc.

For example, both exocoin and NEM will be 100% new code written from scratch with advanced features and they both have a pretty large community. NEM is 100% POS and EXO will be fully POS in 6 months. I think this is important because it appears that people are moving away from POW coins to greener solutions.

I personally feel that the only POW coins that will survive will be Bitcoin, Litecoin and Doge (not because Doge is good, just because it has a large following). For speculation purposes, I'd stick with the next gen coins as they have the highest chances of large price increases.

That must be the most retarded statement I have seen in a while...
Securing the network has nothing to do with ASICs. Regardless of the size of the network, what matters is how the hashpower is distributed over the nodes. A 500MH network can very well be much more secure than a 5GH network, if, for example, on the first one there are 5 100MH pools, while on the latter there is a 3GH pool (easily achievable with ASICs).
Currently, large ASICs are nothing but the best tools a pump&dumper can dream of. In addition, because of their extensive costs, the large ASICs will bring about uneven distribution for every scrypt POW coin, since only a couple of people will be able to afford them, and those people will hold far greater hash power compared to your normal GPU miner.

I visited the land of coins last night.  Unfortunately I left my camera and my drawing ability is that of a 3 year old. 
http://s10.postimg.org/qv0b4ys7t/coinfuture.jpg

Ok, so, darkcoin killed litecoin and holds bitcoin hostage, while vertcoin sails away hammered on it's highly disproportionate bong. Meanwhile, somewhere in the background, a coin I can't seem to recognize is slowly building an army of mindless zombies who worship it like there is no tomorrow. But the thing i find most intriguing is the small black dot at the center top of everything... I fear the worst.

from what I can tell, BTC is pretty secure and doing just fine after the advent of ASICs  ::)

LOL nice drawing!  To me it looks like DarkCoin is the Arnold Schwarzenegger of coins, and Vertcoin got pooped on.  And Litecoin got pwned.

I considered mining Vertcoin but the hash rates are way lower, and despite its price, I don't think I'd make much more profit than mining Darkcoin while saving myself lots of power and heat.  So Darkcoin wins for me!

Hooray, someone got most of the picture.  I was a little upset when my toilet got accused of being a bong  :-[

Tons of funny guys.POW coins will be dead in this year.I firmly believe that my judgment

Seriously doubt it. POW is the tried and tested method of mining. The effort of mining the coins creates value for the coins, what effort is required to run a wallet and leave it connected to the internet? And seriously, POS rates are too measly, 5% yearly or something else like that? People won't be motivated to run there wallets, if all theyre going to get is 5% yearly.

Cleanwater
carbon
Maru
Those have a purpose

Nem
Nxtl
Ether
These are the most promising


Not so sure about
Sky
Maidsafe


Interesting
Multi
Good
Bcc

I think ULT  , ultimatecoin will be great at the end of this year

Coins in which I think should be added as good coins and aren't really on the list are..

Ethereum because of their contract and innovation in the business space

Nxt because they are more like a decentralized company and they have solid code

Peercoin because whenever I am searching for information on coding I tend to always land on the Peercoin site. I think Peercoin is very under-rated because they spend much of their time improving the structure rather than trying to hype the coin. They have a community full of very intelligent people.

Karmacoin because they are taking steps to be more of a pubically traded company and their methods are very sound.

Blackcoin because they continually add new steps to create value to the coin.

This list is bullshit without Nxt in it...

POW will left for miners cause they want to use there equipment, but the problem is they are running out of Idiots whoo buy their shitcoins. R.I.P POW

I think there has to be a speration between launched coins and projects that will come sometime.

Today:

NXT
BTC


in a couple of months maybe:

maidsafe
exocoin
NEM
Ethereum

darkcoin and noirshares

About NoirShares


NoirShares is a new venture in cryptocurrency, Decentralized Autonomous Corporations (DACs), and Decentralized Autonomous Software (DAS). NRS is more than just a cryptocoin, it is the technology that provides the foundation for corporate activities such as voting, funding, trading, communication, contracts, value transfer, and more.

There are many ways to benefit from your participation in NRS. Holding NRS gives you ownership rights in future DAC/DAS and other ventures developed by Noir Group. We are currently working on and voting for the next ventures such as the NoirEx(change) and NoirSpace network (Bank, Gaming, Content, News, Chat/Talk, Shop, Advertising, and more), with many more DAC ventures to come. It is up to you to decide which ventures and opportunities are worth your participation. Since holding NRS also makes you an owner in the corporation, you are also able to suggest new venture ideas and even develop them.

Visit http://www.noirtalk.com/ to stay up to date on future projects.

NoirShares is your ticket to future Noir Group projects. Your shares are your votes and your value. This is your chance to participate in the future of the technology of business.


Decentralized Autonomous Corporations / Software (DAC/DAS)

NoirShares (NRS) is an equity-linked coin that gives you ownership rights in future DACs and DAS developed by Noir Group.  Noir Group is truly a venture-based corporation and provides the foundation for business of endless reach. From software to mining, from entertainment to r/e-tail, Noir Group is simply our versatile corporate vessel for business, and NoirShares are your proof of ownership.

Decentralized Autonomous Corporations (DACs) and Decentralized Autonomous Software (DAS) are ventures that seek to build shareholder wealth through income generation and price appreciation by delivering valuable services to customers.  Once the ventures are fully operational they no longer need the supervision of their developers.

NRS is not limited to the DAC platform started by Dan Larimer of ProtoShares (PTS). We have already begun investigating Counterparty (XCP) and Ethereum (ETH) for possible application in NDS ventures, as well as progress in developing a fiat exchange/trading platform. As a decentralized corporation we want to make sure to get a piece of every cake.


Current Ventures in Development

NoirSpace- NoirSpace is a launch pad designed for all media and altcoin related DAS/DAC ideas. rather than the altcoin/bitshares approach of multiple pieces of software running at the same time, we believe in one good all-purpose hub. NoirSpace is pioneering altcoin multi-tasking. First up, a QT-based multi-wallet. Future DAS updates to include Chat, Shop, Gaming, CDN and News, Ads, and more! Welcome to your new home!
MinterBot - DAS that stakes for you, taking the head(ache) out of (stake)! Deposit to the minterbot and watch your balance grow!
NoirEx(change) – QT-based exchange for NoirShares, NoirBits, cryptocurrencies, fiat, and re-branded sub coins built on the NRS/NBT platform.
Noir Mining- Terahashes of dragon mining power at your command. (Active, Membership closed!)
Noir Multi-Pool- Multi-Pool Mining with the Noir Group!

Project names are not final and reference internal development projects. Public release and frontend integrations may or may not utilize the Noir name. Many Noir projects are backend plugins and systems intended for re-branded frontend utilizations.

Register on http://www.noirtalk.com/ for more information about NoirShares, Noir Group, and how to participate.


The Technology

NRS itself is built as a hybrid momentum Proof of Stake/Proof of Work - NoirShares is one of the first hybrid Momentum PoS/PoW cryptos. The momentum algorithm has memory hard qualities which reduce GPU mining advantages, changing difficulty almost instantly as hashrate changes, thereby accurately reflecting miner demand.  NoirShares also runs a self-maintaining blockchain that does not need many hard forks to keep it going. What all this basically means is that NoirShares is running the latest in coin hashing tech with the most efficiency and stability, laying the foundation for a truly effective DAC.

The Specifications

Doubles as both currency and equity for Noir Group.
80 shares per block initially
5 minute block time
Per block difficulty adjustment
5 million coins will be produced via PoW
5% block reward reduction every 3000 blocks
3% stake, minimum stake age is 7 days, full age 14 days
Transaction fees at 0.01 NRS are destroyed in an attempt at aggressively countering inflation due to mining and stake
As the chain progresses and transitions to relying more on PoS blocks, it becomes highly energy efficient in comparison to pure PoW coins.
This weaning of reliance on high powered machines encourages the average user to be able to have a functioning node that if used properly can be profitable.

Earlier in this topic I promoted Solarcoin pretty hard, but that was only just to make its price rise so I could get more profit, because I had already seen it for the crap coin it is.  Jrose120 over on the Litecoin forums is and was a real dickwad for talking me into mining it in his pool, which I have since quit and moved onto DarkCoin.

 ;D

Wow how dare you?  ;D

Anyone who doubted Aurora coin can check their Exchange and see a 100%+ 24h change! Go Iceland!

heres a serious contender. try mining 666coin, launches May 3rd.

follow here for updates https://twitter.com/666Coin666

aurora goes up n down too much for my blood

+ 1

The devil coin will be about as popular as the Jesus coin was. Religious coins just don't do well.
I know, technically 666 is the number of "man" not the devil. But the social stigma of satanists will not do well here.

Pfffft.. Here is the real deal. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=294383.0

Where is NXT?you should add nxt.

I know it's taken a while, but Trollcoin is getting CLOSE to becoming a serious coin, here's why:



everyone on BCT thinks it's either a scam, shit, or dead coin. It's far from any.

- We just got hooked up with a Facebook Trollcoin Tipping app for our Facebook group, check it out:
http://facebook.com/groups/trollcoin (http://facebook.com/groups/trollcoin)

- We're listed on c-cex.com  (yeah buy orders get eaten up by the big sell wall at 1 satoshi, but people are slowly beginning to buy.)

- we're listed on http://www.cryptocoinrank.com/Trollcoin (http://www.cryptocoinrank.com/Trollcoin)

- you can vote for trollcoin to get listed on cryptsy  http://cryptsy.com/coinvotes (http://cryptsy.com/coinvotes)

- Just rebranded our logo, its fucking hott!!!, doge can go take a crap on itself (check the official thread)

- We're handing out Trollcoin giftcards in several locations in the US including Los Angeles & New York

- We have an online wallet (i use it for loading gift cards & transacting on my smartphone)  wallet.trollcoinbase.com (http://wallet.trollcoinbase.com)

- A Reddit tipbot  http://www.reddit.com/r/TipaTrollWiki/ (http://www.reddit.com/r/TipaTrollWiki/)

- A Twitch.tv prescence & LEGIT, ORGANIZED & ONGOING distribution to all twitch.tv users at twitch.tv/trollcoin (http://twitch.tv/trollcoin)

- A growing presence on Twitter with regular giveaways, trivia & promotions  http://twitter.com/trollcoinbase (http://twitter.com/trollcoinbase)

- official website http://www.trollcoinbase.com

- block explorer explorer.trollcoinbase.com:2750 (http://explorer.trollcoinbase.com:2750)

- a facebook game app using trollcoin is planned & in early development stages, but I can't make it official yet.

- a dedicated team of developers who have not & will not stop supporting, mining & developing trollcoin just because; hash is low, no one is paying attention, blah blah.



Anyway, just my two cents...
We're having fun, trolling, mining, using pranking & hoarding our precious trolls

why do I hate troll so much? guys, sorry, I'm pretty sure, you're good guys, maybe your coin even has a future... but you name is such a boring. I was 100% sure someday someone will use it.
I would advise Kashmir, but it's maybe too early to make any assumptions. Anyway I believed in that and even bought couple coins. Hope it won't make me hurt ))

Boring? Damn, now that cuts my heart like a fish hook up my ass! But hey, we appreciate your honesty, how about if we add some glitter?

Wow. Thanks for only listing the new coins, and chosen coins.

Just refer to the Altcoin List for all of the 'worthy' coins.

>Dogecoin was hard earned

lol, no.

I agree with Litecoins and Dogecoins. I have spread my coins over Bitcoin, LTC and Doge.

NXT will be the first one to really challenge Bitcoin. Later NEM is possibly doing the same. Bitcoin will be in the "middle boss" league with maybe Ethereum, Maidsafe and some other newcomers in 2015. Peercoin, Litecoin, Doge etc. will drop in minor league.   8)

You'd better add some coins to me. And BTC, please ;)

Primio is a great coin if your not looking for a pre-hyped pump and dump!

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=606338.0

I don't believe there is only one coin worth investing. Ignoring some minor releases, most important coins right now, all of them, have some advantages and flows.

Best way is the diversification of the portfolio. Just get few different altcoin. This way you are safe and can take advantages for being early adopter.

Mark  thanks

+1

I have been around awhile (which means well over a year).  In crypto where everyone joined last November having been here over a year is awhile.

Your list should be:

THE BOSS:
Bitcoin

THE MIDDLE BOSS:
Litecoin

Aspiring Cryptos (Worth Your Time to Investigate):
Darkcoin
Dogecoin
Ether
Namecoin
NXT
Peercoin
Safecoin
Vertcoin


Stinking Piles of Shitcoin (Avoid at ALL costs):
250+ other clones, scams, alts, fakes, frauds, anything not named above

To be a boss you have to be over one billion market cap (sustained 6+ months)and over 3 years old with $10 million minimum daily liquidity in trade.

To be a middle boss you have to be over one hundred million market cap (sustained 6+ months) and over 2 years old with $1 million minimum daily liquidity in trade.

To be an aspiring crypto you have to have the realistic potential to become a middle boss as described above.

Everything else is a scam.

If you follow my list above you will do well long term.

Darkcoin just did a hard fork on 5/14 to implement its full anonymity features, price per coin was 70 cents a month ago, $2.80 on last Saturday, and $5.55 today.

Litecoin is close to getting PONED by Darkcoin!

This is only a short term novelty that will meet its demise.

Nobody who is serious or a serious investor, or a legitimate business is ever going to accept/trade in "troll coin".

Imagine...your favorite national chain store "TROLLCOIN WELCOME!"

Never gonna happen, sorry  ;D


I read through this whole thread and while maybe 3 are worthy contenders, the rest just reek "I'm a 19 year old code phreak livin in my mamma's basement" operations. Just because you might have the coding skills TO create your own crypto, it doesn't mean you should. If what you create wouldn't be accepted, traded, or invested in by Fortune 500 companies, corporations, or billionaires as a measure of moving and preserving wealth - as your litmus test to whether or not what you're doing would actually work - then you're going to be wasting your time.

Put your skills to better use and sell the shovels and picks to the miners. Focus on the infrastructure, not trying to change the wheel.

Basing the success of any altcoin on whether or not it will be used by Walmart as a currency is to say the least, narrow minded.

Please add Uro: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=600639 (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=600639)

I hope you bought when you suggested this....

I got lucky.. ish and bought it at 60 cents.. alas only $15 worth.. I swore I put $100 on.. O well $15 >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> 0, that's for sure.  Sold half for about $200, :D.

I've done okay with day trading, probably even.

Lost all I put into, Fastcoin, Casinocoin, Americancoin and Pheonixcoin, (prolly 100 each)

Made huge bang on Darkcoin and Sexcoin.

on the original list I would add BC

DRK coin I am not too fond off

I would also add NXT
as it has real potential

BitShares  (http://bitshares.org/)should be up there. People disregarded them as empty promises, and now look, BitShares X (http://bitshares-x.info/) is already released (by DACsunlimited (http://www.dacsunlimited.com/)), working excellently with 10sec blocktimes and 10tps transaction load, it has on-chain name registration and automated stealth addresses for complete anonymity. It even has encrypted messaging that you can include in every transaction. They are launching market-pegged (http://wiki.bitshares.org/index.php/Market_Peg) assets like bitUSD (no centralized price feed) soon.

good

 to the moon to the moon

I am definitely taking PTS seriously. I am actually very surprised at how little the price is up with the snapshots less than 10 days out now. It has meant that I have acquired a stake very reasonably though. If even one of the new DACS is successful then I will do well. If both of the August 21st snapshot DACS do well then I will really be celebrating.

Ethreum and Stellar are the latest hot coin. Will investor make money buying now? Probably not.

Aka coins you are holding. Coins to take seriously are coins you have researched, trust the development team, and realize that they are in for the long term of the coin, not it's value.

if you look at www.coinmarketcap.com  there are two Bitshares coins in top ten in market cap. Bitshares X and Bitshares PTS

www.bitsharestalk.org

 ;D There is a big story behind PTS, your's to discover !!

I'll also chime in for BitShares.  When I first heard about 'Protoshares' - I was skeptical.  However, I've been researching and following this development for the past 10 months, daily; and am completely blown away.  This platform is the bitcoin killer, and I don't say that lightly.  Think of any problem any other crypto has, and I'd challenge you to find out if its not solved through the BitShares platform.

The 3 MAJOR issues I believe BitShares has solved are:

• Transaction times - 10 seconds. On the dot. No more of this 10 minute confirmation [ON AVERAGE!] B.S.
• More decentralized than bitcoin by orders of magnitude - there are what, 5 mining pools?  BitShares secures the network through DPOS (delegated proof of stake), through 101 delegates that are elected.  You choose the good guys, the bad actors simply cannot sustain their efforts. [also a hat tip to the US founding fathers...1776]
• Volatility - With the coming advent of user-pegged asset markets; one can store their value, cryptographically, in an asset that has relatively low volatility in comparison to bitcoin (i.e. the US Dollar - this will be 'bitUSD')

BitShares is your 'savings' to your bitcoin 'checking' and MUCH MUCH more.  I cannot say enough good things about the core team and their efforts as well.  Good people doing it for the right reasons, not hiding behind pseudonyms, because they don't need to.

Further:
- inherently anonymous transactions on REGISTERED account names instead of ugly addresses
- atomic cross chain trading
- user assets and market pegged assets
- open source toolkit which already allows easy-to-setup altshares
- have I mentioned dividends getting payed to shareholders?

Oh man, this platform has that much awesome features it's impossible to see all the possible outcomes of that scheme .. just read the white paper of bitshares VOTE and you will see what I mean!!

I agree. I find myself everyday selling some of my other positions to buy more into the Bitshares system.

No doubt, I vote for Bitshares series, including BTSX, PTS, DNS, VOTE, LOTTERY(now it's called PLAY), music, etc... 

What is the difference between them?

+1 to BitShares

I don't think dogecoin belongs on your 'mid-bosses' list.  This coin was obviously a fad coin that had more to do with the funny meme than cryptocurrency.  It's just dying a very slow death because so many folks got on board so quickly and they're hesitant to abandon ship.

Think of PTS as an investment vehicle.  PTS along with AngelShares AGS solved the problem of how to fairly distribute a new product, aka BitShares BTSX.  Miners with CPU's and GPU's are able to mine PTS where as anyone with $ could simply purchase AngelShares directly.  PTS is a "coin" while AGS is an internal share provided by I3, not liquid.  Anyone who holds PTS or AGS during a snapshot will acquire shares in a new DAC such as people did with BTSX.  2 billion total BTSX shares were divided 50/50 between PTS and AGS holders.

BitShares BTSX is the first main DAC with a vast range of 2.0 technology.  See posts above what makes it so great.

Transaction time 10 sec it is a different experience then any other coin..... wait BTSX it is not a coin it is a Bank and decentralized exchange !!!  BitAssets just around the corner, bitUSD anyone ?

you can aquire your share in future PTS honoring developers. At 8/21/14 two new DACs take there snapshot. So if you want to take your share you have to invest before in PTS, or you can wait after and by in the exchanges. I expect BTER and BTC38 will also really fast include the two new Bitshares Chains. A good startingpoint is maybe the wiki http://wiki.bitshares.org/index.php/Main_Page

This updated snapshot picture is a good illustration. PTS is like a mothercoin that you get new coins for holding.

ok   any real reason besides the bter hack  why nxt is taking a hit?

not in the public. but maybe the thief is already selling?

but at the moment many coins bitcoin as well have a hard time. bitshares X and bitshares PTS not, so i am ok right now, but you don't know what is in the future.
for nxt - maybe it is a good buying opportunity, but maybe it would better to get more bitcoin or bitshares. who knows? i go with my gut feeling.

Huntercoin is my #1 pick for possible % gain in a years time.
