Bitcoin Forum

Hi guys, to many coins are now in the crypto world. I would like to know from you which in your opinon are the best 5 coins? And why you choose them ?
Please give me some informations like Community is good, alghorithm, NO-/Premine, Image etc.

Thank you and please keep fair and polite with your choice!

comm, ITC, sharecoin, and so on,... ::)

there are many good coins and there are many shit coins.


it is hard to make sense clearly..

Thank you but on which CRITERIA is your answere depending on ?

Cakecoin, cakecoin, cakecoin, cakecoin, cakecoin

My opinion may be a little biased.  :D

According to my ratings --

1) Probe -- BUT self moderated topic, potential scam.
2) Undisclosed -- until I mine a significant amount, I wont disclose. It's difficulty is too high to mine.
3) Undisclosed -- until I mine a significant amount, I wont disclose. It's difficulty is too high to mine.
4) O2oCoin -- BUT dev gone, coin dead.
5) Undisclosed -- until I mine a significant amount, I wont disclose. It's difficulty is too high to mine.
6) Quark

BTC, LTC, UTC, DRK

I see maybe my question is a little bit hard to answere, since there are alot of Coins.
Let me try it in another way.
On what Specifications would you pay attention before Investing buying or mining a coin ?

Most important thing would probably be if there is an active community behind it or not.

Then there is total # of coins, blocktime, current profitability of mining vs other coins, trade volume.

It's very complicated.

whales do not reveal their secrets  :'(

OK and what about a  100 % Premine and /or  proof of stake ?

Take a look @ http://www.cryptocoinrank.com/

Have a nice day.

zimstake.us

hahah yeah i noticed, but it would be nice to get some information to be maybe a shark instead a fish  ;D

VirtualCoin       and       GOODCoin                looks promising.
X11                              Scrypt
3 million Max coins        100 million Max coins
                                   "Human mineable" (sortof) through faucets
Low Diff                        Mining starts again on 6th May due to glitch a few days ago
20 coins/block               Coins per block increase every day or two until 50 is reached
     means high value           then reduces slowly every few days and stays at 10 forever.

These are both good investments.

Not exactly what you were looking for but they might end up being the best coins in the future.

1. BTC
2. LTC
3. Doge
4. QRK
5. DRK

Comm - being now undervalued, big community potential, initially not in hands of newbies and dumping gpu farmers
Hvc - never pumped yet, new algo, big price rising potential, little bit boring ipo
To be edited later as i identify the other ones....

thank you for the URL and wish u the same .

BTC
LTC but after scrypt asics it will go down alot i guess
GRS
DRK
???

Thank you mate, something like this was what i was looking for. these information i wanted to hear.

What do you think about a total pre-mine ?

You gotta have alot of trust for devs if you will be investing into 100% premined coin.

yeah sure i think so, but what benefits does a 100% Pre mine have ?

Check.

www.feathercoin.com

Thank you, but as i read it is not 100% pre-mine.  I would like to know what benifits and what disadventage would a coin with 100% pre-mine have?

as long as it is a chocolate cakecoin, than everything is fine  ;)

1-Ixcoin
2-cinni
3-zetacoin

Of course NXT. The features are just amazing and unique. The most other coins are just clones with no really additionally features compared to Bitcoin. Darkcoin is also interesting.

the treath says "at the moment" of course nxt will be the future

Gridcoin - GRC

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=324118.0

The developer is working so hard since a couple of months that this coin which is BOINC utilized has a bright future.

Sorry but I hate premine coin.. Too many scam going around and 100% premine is worse...

Definitely Cinni.  15m coins, no premine, no ipo, was PoW now 100% PoS.  Currently worth 1/14  what BC is and only has 1/5 the total coins BC has = huge room for explosive gains.  Active dev and thriving community.  Multipools with over 500 MH/s  (supports scrypt, x11, & sha256).  

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=573232.0

Here are the top four for 2015 (no particular order):

Bitcoin (BTC)

- The one that started it all. What more is there to say?

Goldcoin (GLD)

 - Most marketable name, brilliant developer, multi-coin wallet.

Dogecoin (DOGE)

- Most organized and active community. Wide consumer appeal.

Litecoin (LTC)

- Original scrypt coin. Friends in high places. Excellent developers.

bitcoin FTW

Depends on criteria you use.
Check out the forum, find currencies with more pages which would mean that community is active.
In terms of premine it's hard to say as some coins have hidden instamine.

1)Bitcoin

2)Darkcoin

3)Nothing

4)Nothing

5)Nothing

Doesn´t matter if its IPO or mine. Thats only interesting at launch. Afterwards it only matters to the miners.

Fokus on 2nd coins, cause 1st gen coins can´t compete with bitcoins. They are clones and shitcoins.

Take a look at NXT, and try to paint your own picture.

In threads like this you will never get an answer, you will only get a list of shitcoins, where the guys are looking for fish

I actually like Megacoin, as it was my first traded coin ;)

i prefer Vertcoin.  Seems to be a nice value for its mineability.


I dont do much sociallizing, so its hard to know any background for me.

I just look on value.    and comfort level.


Goodluck tho :)

g

Doge, Lite, Nxt, Dark not necessarily in that order

Sharecoin and Monero are hot coins currently.

NEM once it launches will take over

But Sharecoin is the coin of the day, it will rise for awhile.

Multipool
Exchange you can buy ownership shares in that pay dividends every six hours in BTC.

FAIR DISTRIBUTION!!

Gonna make a lot of people BTC in the next week. And continue to be profitable for a while.

Whoever buys in the next few days is gonna make bank.

I have a bunch and buying more from anyone who will part with it

Bitcoin
Litecoin
Peercoin
CGB
FTC
Quarkcoin
Terracoin
Primecoin

Due to coin infrastructure, no premined and an big fanbase.

Just my opinion, but these coins are gonna last.

Grtz

You could get intrested in sharecoin. It's been having quite a lot of attention lately.

Nxt
Nothing
Nothing
Nothing
Nothing

My list of investment. I believe all have long term merit, also invest in some other shit coins, but only in temporary pump so won't include them.

-Counterparty
Revolutionary concept, non inflationary- non minable & limited supply (huge value in protocol as well as underlying xcp token), Dedicated developers Massive upwards potential. The true dark-horse, yet few years ahead of itself.
-Monero
Innovative new protocol. Mining is relatively non-feasible due to difficulty and no implementation. Larger exchanges  will not readily add because it's not copy paste plug n play installation process like xxx-qt coins. low liquidity, cumbersome to acquire/trade therefore in a price discovery phase.
-Honeypenny
Roughly Same as above
-Cinnicoin
Nothing too revolutionary, but pure POS, free of any major problems, limited supply comparatively- working multipools. undervalued massively on relative basis
-NXT clones
NXT is great concept, but distribution model was flawed too much to ignore. I don't know how it has and still is lasting so long, but market seems to be slowly reaching same conclusion despite it having the network effect. and now the time is ripe for a NXT clone, assuming community backs and devs are competent these can surpass NXT

BITCOIN
NXT
VERT

Bitcoin, dogecoin namecoin, anoncoin

1. Global Denomination (GDN) - X11

2. HiroCoin (HIRO) - X11

3. Unitary Status Dollar eCoin (USDe) - Scrypt

4. Einsteinium (EMC2) - Scrypt

5. FlutterCoin (FLT) - Scrypt

I would have to say..BTC, LTC, DOGE, VTC and NXT.

haha so nice.

This thread is not about the 5 worst coins. 

Hm...
BTC,
LTC,
DOGE,
DRK
QRK

dunno for rest last two i will change with others like nxt, vert, hiro....

to hodl:

1. BTC Bitcoin
2. DRK DarkCoin
3. NXT Next
4. NRS NoirShares
5. MYR Myriadcoin

to watch: NEM when launched

Not as flawed as this appraisal. What a load of nonsense.

finally someone mentioned Myriad.. 5 separate algorithms running concurrently on the same blockchain. It's likely the most secure blockchain thus far and allows gpu miners to mine on a level playing field w/ asics. That's obvious innovation. If you don' think so I don't care because Andreas Antonopoulos recognizes its merit http://www.reddit.com/r/letstalkbitcoin/comments/24rc3q/how_did_andreas_antonopoulos_find_out_about_myriad/

Mintcoin.
https://i.imgur.com/38UQqir.png

NXT were brought for total of 21 btc between ~73 stakeholders
current valuation~ 53,000 BTC (very short time later)

252380% profit for lucky few

http://87.230.14.1/nxt/nxt.cgi?action=34

or that seems an acceptable distribution model for a future currency?



let's make progress update of investments. since 24 hours has passed since posting

CounterParty - -2.77 % (in actual fact +12.84% of Bter)
Monero - no exchange info
HoneyPenny - not trading
Cinnicoin - +53.26 %
Nxt clones- not trading

If you hedged 10btc between all tradable alts in my list at time of post, selling 24 hours later (at this post time) you would have ~16.702 BTC

If I could see through all the shit I'd tell you

BTC, 42, 365, LTC, & USDe(<--Don't really have a 5th)

doge, cinni, zet, bc, drk.. they are promising.

BTC and LTC

These would be the top two. Why? Because they have the most momentum. There is a large infrastructure of merchant APIs, wallets, exchanges. BTC is basically the US$ of Crypto because most alt-coins are priced in units of BTC just like US$ is how most world commodities are priced.


Nautilus Coin - NAUT (was using PHI ticker but changed to not confuse it with PHICoin)
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=591114.0
The unique aspect of this coin is their stabilization fund. The fund is composed of 1% pre-mine which buy/sells on it's exchange to try to keep to volume up and the market liquid. They also use Digishield which adjusts to block rate based on the current network has rate to prevent multi-pool mining problems.


ShareCoin - SHARE
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=587051.0
This one is pretty new. The dev created 100million coin and freely gave it away to 1500 people that applied. This coin is 100% PoS. I'm really liking PoS, it means someone can't go in with 40 MHs machines, mine 100k of them and dump them. The first year interest (PoS reward) is 30%. So you gain coins just by keeping them in your wallet. The wallets maintain the network rather than miners.

Another unique aspect of this is that it is tied to a new exchange. You will be able to buy "stock" in the exchange called FeeShares, meaning you Share in the fees the exchange charges. You can only buy the FeeShares with ShareCoin and each FeeShare gets you a .001% stake in the fees. I think the feeshares will also apply to other things that are planned like a gambling site and perhaps merchant services site.


DogeCoin - DOGE

As much as this started as a joke, it is really becoming very popular. I can't see this one raising in price much though  because there is no limit on the amount of coins that can be mined. Maybe the devs will decide to change that at some point. But, I think there are already billions of these in the market.


So, there's the top 5 I am watching.

Oh 5 coins.... my bad.

BTC: Hold long term. End of story.

C2: FPS being developed. Going to be huge and so undervalued @ 650sat. Hold long term.

BCN: BCN is to Monero/HoneyPenny as BTC is to (insert shitcoin BTC clone here). Could even kill DRK. Hold short/medium term.

HACK: Just released. Great Asian community and hash rate. Hold short/medium term.

CINNI: I called this @ <3k sat, great volume. Day trade the shit out of it and keep an eye out for when they make their own multipool.

Best. G.

Jackpot coin is going to be the next big "up and coming" IMHO.

New independent POW and POS algos, and the first (I think  :o ) "true" random jackpot algo + "great dev" etc etc.

One other thing - I know everyone always says this about new coins but the the transaction speed for this coin is ASTONISHING. Withdrawal off the exchange is like 5 seconds exchange-to-wallet unconfirmed status and then another 5 seconds to confirmed. Thats one of the benefits of the dual algo. Has to be seen to be believed.

Still some available for those who want to get in at ground level. Fresh article on it in Cryptoarticles: http://www.cryptoarticles.com/crypto-news/2014/5/7/jackpotcoin-second-generation-powpos-random-super-blocks-asic-resistant

Others (apart from BTC and LTC):

NXT - superb

DRK - has to be on the list due to trustless anonymous transmission technology. Way undervalued and one of the only coins I've ever seen that might have a chance of rivaling Bitcoin's value (as a complimentary currency that is, not as a replacement)

PPC - I haven't got any right now but I still think it's one of the greats
BC - probably can't discount it due to the manic following it has (although I've sold most of mine)

Disclosure: I'm in BTC, NXT, LTC, DRK and Jackpotcoin (+ a bit of long lost Quark that I must dig out :)  )

+1

+1

tbh all all the shit is doing now is strengthening btc/ltc position at the top.

1) Dogecoin (most surprising and ameable coin)

2) Namecoin (the first altcoin ever, bitdomains are finally getting some traction)

3) Devcoin (still a very unique and old (in bitcoin - years) altcoin, has active community of writers and devs, incredibly cheap at the moment)

4) Quarkcoin (good community, interesting supporters in media, is in-game money)

5) Darkcoin (very outstanding features, proof of service, masternodes, has "Veni, Vidi, Vici" potential!  ;D )

If I could add more, I would say Goldcoin, and Zetacoin.
Also: my list is not listed in order of priority, I find all those coins equally promising.

BTC-LTC-DOGE-NMC-PPC

in that order

That's actually pretty good. But NMC and PPC are not brandable names and I think by 2015 things will shake out more like this:

BTC-GLD-DOGE-LTC-FTC

in that order

todays progress update, since further 24 hour passed

CounterParty - +5.33 % % (in actual fact +10.7% on Bter)
Monero - no accurate exchange info
HoneyPenny - not trading
Cinnicoin - +86.19 % (in actual fact more than 100%+ on minty)
Ripple - -3.38 %
Nxt clones- not trading

if you followed & invested in this list 48hours ago by hedging 10btc between all tradable alts. cashing out right now (using conservative coinmarketcap stats) you would have a minimum of 30.89 BTC

I think it's about Sharecoin ITC IFC GAS

How is Namecoin not brandable?

It's the Coin for Names for crying out loud.  ;)

1.NXT
2.BTC
3.PPC
4.NAS
5.XCP

I choose the itc ifc LTC sharecoin.

I think these COINS is one of the most potential market.

1) Stackcoin
2) Dafuqcoin
3) Cryptoshekel
4) Asiacoin
5) NXT

comm itc sharecoin I quite agree with you.

Let us witness the growth of.

3) Unknown
4)Unkown
5)Unkown

C2 is now 2k on mintpal. It isn't on cryptsy, it doesn't have its own multipool and it is due a rebranding.

CINNI is about 30k now on mintpal. CINNI is slick but has nothing to offer vs. BC. CINNI is a function of multipool buy power remember that.

Hack is 30 satoshi atm.

Just saying.

1. NXT
2. EXO
3. Maidsafe
4. NEM
5. NXT NXT NXT
