With half the coins listed being instamine scams yes goldcoin would fit right in.

bitcoin:  nothing to be said. this is the coin to have.

litecoin:  there's some interest here. if people are creating/inventing 'scrypt asics' for this, then this could well  be the next coin where another economy and industry could be built around on.

dogecoin:  community power!  such big!  not underestimate!

Post by: silvermetal on May 04, 2014, 11:32:47 AM
Vote for Bitcoin, Doge and Quark.

Bitcoin: Far far further than any other cryptocurrency. It has become a professional cryptocoin and can be used for many purposes already.

Doge: Big great enthousiastic community. I have had many doubts about that coin, but thanks to Doge lots of people learned about cryptocurrencies on a friendly way. Lots of other and new cryptocurrencies can learn from them.

Quark: Has everything what a modern cryptocoin should look like (secure, fast and prepared for the future). Besdes also a big support from an enthousiastic devoted community who is working hard to get the coin to the public for everyday's use and had already many successes lately: Partnership with Shaq-Fu (in game payments), Partnership with Moolah (working on in store acceptance of Quark), and more and more merchants accepting the coin every day.

(LTC as an outsider). Great coin and copied a lot, but haven't heard much of them lately.

Quark - fast, secure, low maintenance cost, undervalued, no more premine, instamine FUD after all haters have no problem with one week instamine of new scam coins, what haters can tell now about quark after investing in many few day mining coins? Good dev team, many actions to improve coin. Hope haters will get a lot of water in mouth.
thats it


Title: Re: Altcoin Poll - 2014/05
Post by: dE_logics on May 04, 2014, 01:58:49 PM
Darkcoin, namecoin and Quark.

The reason for Quarks is cause of it's combination of good specs. See sig for details. There're 2 or 3 better and active cryptos though which haven't made it yet.

Darkcoin cause it has unique security features and DGW, but otherwise it's just like another alt by design.


Namecoin cause a decentralized DNS system was always required and it's need will never end. There's scope of improvements though in the economic front.

Orangecoin - Because of the color coins I think it has the most potential.  Active dev that understands the programming and even list code on how he improved over others:  https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=581894.msg6459633#msg6459633

Dodgecoin - for it's possible public support

Litecoin - Because that's what I started mining with and I just like it.  :)

Quark. it is difficult to add something more than what has been said. I think some day people will appreciate its anti-asic features. However it seems to me that it may take long time to reach reasonable levels of adoption. It is my favourite coin, it is extremly fast, ideal tool for arbitraging, blood to the system ;)

And I like the name and the logo. Yea, it has the nicest logo of all the altcoins ;)

Goldcoin

         - multi-threaded codebase written from scratch with new features to crypto

Dogecoin
     - for the marketing that goes with it
          - nascar race was huge publicity

(1st multi-PoW, Andreas Antonopoulos thinks it's interesting, all-inclusive rather than fragmenting mining communities, GPU miners stay relevant while maintaining bonus of ASIC security.)

I must say I admire the Quark community for sticking with it.

It deserves to start going up in value again just for surviving if nothing else. I sold most of mine ages ago but kept a little bit in my wallet address. I think I'll dig it out again and might even start accumulating again if it's the case that it looks like having a future.

It's going places for sure.

Post by: kalashnikovski on May 05, 2014, 04:55:17 PM
Add Mintcoin to the list

Mintcoin is unfortunately stuck in the low satoshi digits until people move their sell orders and there's an upswing in BTC. The order depth is scary on it :o

Despite this it has also been the most stable coin that I have witnessed. People making money just by holding Mintcoin. Even though there has not been massive pumps on mint it keeps on gaining community and building a foundation for the coin to stand on. It has a lot of strong people behind it and its popular as the poll suggests.


Title: Re: Altcoin Poll - 2014/05
Post by: litemaster on May 05, 2014, 06:01:25 PM


My choices are pretty obvious.
Bitcoin is the gold standard and father of all.
Litecoin is next in line for the thrown.
and Mintcoin has maintained has maintained it's position with only small variances over a long period of time. Mintcoin has withstood many pump and dump attacks, has a great DEV team, has gained acceptance on exchanges and has merchants accepting it.
At this time Mintcoin is leading this poll. I guess I am not alone in my thinking.


Title: Re: Altcoin Poll - 2014/05
Post by: stormia on May 05, 2014, 08:16:49 PM
I chose

1. Mintcoin - Great community, great coin, great cause: http://mintcoinfund.org/
Very stable price which is great for its merchant utility (the only coin besides bitcoin that I have bought something with), and the high interest rate means you can receive an ROI even if the price stays the same or dips slightly. I also think this coin is severely undervalued at the moment.
2. Fluttercoin - Invented Proof-of-Transaction which is an innovative reward system that provides incentive to spend/use the coin and provides an additional level of blockchain security and further decentralizes blockchain security. I think it has great potential, especially when complementing Proof-of-Stake systems which reward saving/hording of coins. The dev -thekidcoin- is very attentive to the coin (one of the most active devs I have seen), all it needs is greater exposure and more community backing.

For the third I was stuck between Darkcoin, Maidsafecoin, and Blackcoin.

I picked Maidsafecoin. Although the IPO was a bit of a mess, if they are capable of accomplishing what they have set out to do it could be huge.

only bitcoin (not an alt) and litecoin. Doge an outside chance but will probably end in tears.

Worldcoin has become cult-like the last few months. A recipe for disaster, or mass poisoning.

I like Darkcoin, but it will ultimately fail.

the new paradigm is every coin fails from now on unless something genuinely innovative appears. It will be so innovative that it will literally blow you away.

This is exactly what I thought.

The most promising coins are the coins with the biggest market cap(for a reasonable time span). Just kidding. Check out [shit coin which I have a lot]. With a market cap of $4000 and a trading volume of $2 it is just very unknown for now. But the dev team is very active and because it is very innovative, it will go to the moon very soon. Check out [link1] and [link2].

Of course, I'll pick WhiteCoin, DogeCoin and BlackCoin.

DogeCoin is where I started.   Shibe for life :)
BlackCoin is where I went next.  Love those guys.
WhiteCoin is where I landed after that...

What's been going on with WhiteCoin:   http://thecryptoblog.com/whitecoin-news-update/

Key items:

Multipool:  The fully functional WhiteCoin Multipools will be paying out in WC!  They'll be **BUYING** WhiteCoin from exchanges at **MARKET PRICE** every day, to pay off their miners.   Hash rate is climbing rapidly now that the coin has gone full PoS, which will have an actual market impact.

Security:  No one person in charge.  No hidden blocks and all coins accounted for.   WC is in PoS stage.  Staking is 100% functional.  No more 51% attack or double spend possible.

Wallet: A New MAC & WINDOWS Wallet - http://whitecoin.info/news/whitecoin-wallet-released/

Transparency: WhiteCoin has set up a Dev Foundation team, which provides full logs of their meetings.  They vote democratically on decisions for the coin, both financially and for big decisions.  No one person is in charge!

Hope to see you over at WhiteCoin!

Bitcoin has allready made it

Litecoin is well on it's way

If you are asking for coins that people should be looking at ?

If looking for the 'future contenders' or for coins that can accomplish things that go beyond what is available now or that broke new ground I will chime in.


Blake Coin                     -- Building a new system with merged mining , a long term project with an algorithm that has every necessary advantage

RieCoin                         -- Obvious unique math applications

SIC Simple Inflation Coin  --- Started all quark + multi combo algo's and is still running strong (more active on the Russian thread than English (never given the respect deserved , not even traded on any exchange)


NOTE --- RIGHT NOW none of these are considered 'profitable' to mine if you are just looking for something to earn bitcoin.......so that eliminates 99% of the people, very few people mine or support coins that they cannot 'exchange' into bitcoin for a 'profit' ......... few believe or care in the future......

Whitecoin is the best because its a community coin, there's no gigantic holders right now, and there's just awesome people doing awesome things to make this coin fly high. We are all working together to see it do well longterm.

There should be only added the top 10 or top 20 (or more) coins in market cap.If you have Goldcoin in the list, you should add all coins with higher market cap (and decent volume). Just go to coinmarketcap and copy. Then you don't add coins two times (fluttercoin, myriadcoin)

Add Bitstar, UniversityCoin, SummerCoin and Coin2.0   please  ;)

From the list offered, I chose

No.1 WhiteCoin
I chose this because it holds an incredable story already

No.2 Maxcoin
I picked this due to the fact it was the first sha3 coin

No.3 MyriadCoin
This is because it's one of a kind, multi-algo asic,gpu and cpu
friendly.  It's a coin for all miners, allowing for more friendly
and inclusive relationships within the Crypto community

Dogecoin is becoming a cult more then a community.

Some benefits

One of the most appreciated factors of this algorithm is its mining temperature in comparison to mining Scrypt algorithms. Overall you can enjoy your GPU running 30% cooler which also means an increased lifespan for your GPU and a reduction in power consumption and electricity bills.

Now if that is not enough reason in itself then we must also specify that this algorithm is so far Asic proof. Meaning that they have not yet found a way to produce asic miners for the x11 algorithm. Now we all know that this can eventually be placed into production though we can rest assure that for the time being this algorithm is safe from the hungry asic minersssssssssssssssssssssssssssss  :P

Why didn't you add CryptoNote based coins like BCN (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=512747.0) to the voting list?
They provide users with true anonymous transactions and they are CPU-only that's really good for decentralization.

DigitalCoin, MicroCoin and LiteCoin.

DigitalCoin has a great and active dev and a great community behind it. It's just a matter of time for the coin to gain it's old value again, but I'm sure we will see its value increasing in the future (and that's why most of my BTC's are in that coin). MicroCoin had a great launch (no premine etc), it just had to deal with some dump issues etc. But, I think it will gain value in the future again (and that's why I HODL my coins). 

LiteCoin? Because it has proven to be successfull. As soon as most of the Scrypt ASICs will start mining, its difficulty will go insane. I think that makes them more worth too :).

Darkcoin, namecoin and Quark.

The reason for Quarks is cause of it's combination of good specs. See sig for details. There're 2 or 3 better and active cryptos though which haven't made it yet.

Darkcoin cause it has unique security features and DGW, but otherwise it's just like another alt by design.


Namecoin cause a decentralized DNS system was always required and it's need will never end. There's scope of improvements though in the economic front.

On second though, Darkcoin is pointless (http://delogics.blogspot.com/2014/05/darkcoin-review.html).

Worldcoin has 4 ways of merchant implementation, 10+ direct exchanges 20+ altcoin exchanges, 100+ merchants. It has a 30 second block time with a reduced orphan blockrate in comparison to Quark which has double the amount of orphan blocks. WDC isn't as fairly distributed as it could be but still has the potential to be unlike other coins which have a short mining period, WDC only has 55m/256m mined so far. Take for example blackcoin which is very very poorly distributed (55.5% top 100 wallets).

The alliance committee has 3 meetings a week with regular updates and the developer team is expanding to help bring out wallet updates etc faster. So think again, Worldcoin has everything but right now is lacking in recognition.

Your own star developer about himself and this coin:

Quote
I am a new coin developer.
I had fun and I wanted my own coin (Not this one, I have another in the works).
I will maintain and support this coin! However, it is just a little fun for me and hopefully anyone else who decides to join.

So maybe the other coin will be here around next year or so, but a fun coin should not be listed here.

The PoS coins seem to be a popular choice. I picked black coin, white coin, and mint coin because they seem to be standing the test of time. Mint coin came out months ago, but still seems popular and I suspect the other two might follow the same path.

Ripple could have a breakout year after this piece of news.  It is finally pushing through.

Fidor Becomes First Bank to Use Ripple Payment Protocol

by Pete Rizzo

San Francisco-based decentralized payment network provider Ripple Labs has announced that German Internet direct bank Fidor is now using the Ripple protocol as part of its transaction infrastructure.

With the announcement, Fidor has become the first bank to integrate Ripple’s payment protocol, allowing its customers to instantly send money in any currency in any amount through the bank’s money transfer products at a lower cost.

The move is significant as it will allow Ripple to showcase how its unique open-source approach to payments can be used by banks to replace many of the common intermediaries in the industry, thereby passing on savings to partner institutions, and by extension, their clientele... continued

I think some of you chasing insta-profits need to ask yourself are you trying to get rich in a week? Cause that isn't investing or building a currency. That is just gambling.

If you actually want to invest and maybe help build something great then you should probably take another look at Worldcoin. We've had our trials but we are only getting stronger. We have a growing development team, an active forum of our own, many merchants, exchanges and services. We have a wallet release this Friday that will protect us from asics and position us to transition into something even more unique safely. We have big plans and the resources to achieve them but I'm sorry we aren't going to lie and try and convince you that we will make you rich in a week. I guess that means we aren't that promising.....

Bitcoin is not an altcoin. It does not belong on the list.

Litecoin is a no-brainer. It doesn't belong on the list.

You missed Huntercoin. It's absolutely one of the top 5 easily.

As such, I can't vote.

If I were to vote:

1) Namecoin - This is a no-brainer.

2) Huntercoin - Parallel merged mining with SHA-256 and scrypt, human mining. These are BIG deals.

3) Not sure about #3... a few possible contenders...

RieCoin? The fact that I've never heard about it probably, which means that it didn't had enough promotion.. (And / or because it's shit).

There are too many cryptocurrencies. I think only a few will survive in the long run.

The "old" and "tired" Bitcoin? I really think Bitcoin will be the #1 for ever.. It's really hard to create such community for a new coin.   I wish I had more coins of this "old" and "tired" Bitcoin ;).

I'm currently making my Altcoin portfolio smaller, when I'm done, I just want BTC and a few altcoins. Having a wide spread portfolio really takes time in my opinion, atleast to maintain it..

Bitcoin is very good first step, but tech goes forward fast and i am afraid that the feature "original" won't be enough anymore in 2015. And community will easily be cut in half when some other coin starts getting close to Bitcoin's cap and some of the "Winkelwosses" announce that they have just moved their investments in to new slicker platform....

And in the end there is only few stubborn dude's yelling that Bitcoin is the only crypto and you should never move on... because it's the first one...  >:( ... :'(
