Bitcoin Forum

For someone who has some extra Bitcoins, what coin do you recommend they buy, satisfying the following conditions:

1) Coin must be really innovative
2) Coin has an excellent and competent development team with evidence that they are competent and excellent
3) Coin has a good chance of getting on Bittrex and Mintpal
4) Coin has an excellent and large community and a community which is growing by the day
5) Coin is relatively new?

XMR ??? mineral? Talkcoin?

I recommend HYPER..one great gaming coin, gonna be massive! :) Already on Bittrex and hardcore voting started on Mintpal. ;D

please do not say that shit, random fork , lose coins , unfair cut of pow ,GG >:(

Wank coin

XC is worth looking into IMHO.
https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B4OTDoLPVfe-VE5RVWo0WF80bmc/edit
Developers CV is worth a look too.
http://www.linkedin.com/pub/dan-metcalf/12/1a8/b82

Otherwise some of the CN coins

Some interesting coins here.

I recommend ISIS coin.

What is so special about ISIS?

Dollar

I recommend DRK & XMR.

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=660863.0

We launched a few hours ago, welcome to our community. We are looking for active members.  :)

WankCoin Im not ashamed to say its one of the only few coins being used right now and its implemented on a 7 million dollar a year Porn site. Porn.com go check for your self.

Thank you for the welcome..I am joining your lovely community.. :). :)

So, you guys aren't kidding?

What is your technical and educational background?

Have you created other projects before?

DRK I think I will pass. XMR looks more interesting.

not kidding at all. Coin is only a month old and it's already implemented to where you can use it. Most altcoins don't have that. They just have a promise Of use. But not with WankCoin. I shrugged it off as a joke at first. But once I seen what they offered. I started taking it serious. Everyone know's sex sells. haha https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=625934.0

But you don't have to jump on it. You still have alot of time to decide. The coin is still moving in the shadows. Dev's are Working on getting a major exchange to accept it for trading.

Yep, I will definitely keep an eye out for it.

NXT，it is great.

Xmr, frac & bitcoin is ok too  8)

You should consider casinocoin. ;)

Yeah, I like the tech behind it. It is as several technical properties no other coin based on Bitcoin can have. Only clones of Nxt can have them.

Buy litecoin or let your bitcoin prosper.

Qora

Noone of them my friend, just keep your investment in bitcoin if you wanna profit...altcoin markets are too violate and vulneable to attacks.

nxt, myr

You're not going to get a lot of straight advice here. Lots of sockpuppets and hypers. That's not to say that you won't see -some- good advice. The tried-and-true method of diligent research is your best friend.
The problem is that you're looking for one of those "ideal" coins: New, but promising, with serious developers. These are few and far between.

NXT is not great, it is fucking AWESOME !!!!!


Bach to OP. Look at NEM. It fits all of your creterias. But only 2 days left before alpha is launched. So hurry up.

VeriCoin.... Something to hold on to

Bytecoin BCN ticks all those boxes. The next big coin - maybe even challenging BTC will not be a fork of BTC or any other coin and will include a degree of anonymity.

Monero, NXT and NEM.

Monero, NXT and BTC.

Nem obviously.

Open alpha coming on the 25th and as a closed alpha tester I can sefely say it's working like a charm.
It's still possible to buy a NEM stake on the NXT AE pretty cheap.

Check https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=654845.0 :)

Investing in altcoins is too risky atm . Investing in new coin can make you money if you dump them at right time but otherwise you can lose your money easily and be a bagholder. Better invest in Bitcoin.

Nxt is dirt cheap. I dumped all my btc for it. Taking my chances but I really like my chances

Ever since i learnt about http://www.coingecko.com/  :D
I heavily depend on it in doing my altcoin research

Top 10 coins are definitely coins worth watching for - although i do i take into consideration the price movement as well
I tend to look away from coin that experiences a huge pump.. (I bought Monero when it was low, and now is a good time to exit)
http://www.coingecko.com/price_charts/monero/btc

Few other good coins im accumulating are Blackcoin, Vertcoin, Reddcoin
Riskier path, i am betting on MyriadCoin

I use and recommend coingecko as well. They understand that a coin is much more than its market value.

Look here: http://bitshares.org

I'd go for MastCoin. It's relatively new, devs are working hard CoinRecycler which is a novelty and the community was helping hard with rebranding. And it's still highly undervalued considering the potential and amount of coins. ANN thread here:
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=613622.0

all those altcoins are reducing money supply for bitcoin, so bitcoin slows down,reduces in price, and that reduces the alt price also.
long story short, every alt is a bad investment for long time holding, but you can make good profit on short term.

Pretty cheap???!!!!  $1800 doesn't sound like a deal to me.

I have no idea why you would say that altcoins reduce money supply for btc. How do you think one goes about buying altcoins? if the altcoin scene died I wouldn't be the least bit surprised if btc either died or went sub $100 quickly.

As far as an answer for the op; a similar question was asked 2-3 weeks before Blackcoin's rise from 6k to 95k and I think there was one post recommending BC (which got ridiculed quickly), the rest were coins held by bagholders that haven't done much. The short answer is do your own research and come up with your own answer.

Bitshares clould be huge (2 ways to get in) http://bitshares.org

I also have some:

NEM, https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=654845.msg7350595#msg7350595

 NXT,

 Qora https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=522102

CannabisCoin is a good play I believe , read through the forum to see why. An enterprise level farm is on it doing 890,000 K/H s . X11 algo , so if you have R9 290x that is approximately 222 cards @ 450$ each = 100K just in video cards from ONE guy !

we are talking of a 4000th of ALL coins...

Some people just do not get it man. Math is too hard!  :)

I keep reading:

NXT
NEM
QORA

Where do I buy NXT?

What can i see NXT is good now they have raise about 10% in this 2 days .

You can buy at cryptsy

Better buy at BTER (https://bter.com/signup/161400) ! Fast deposit / withdrawal.
Cryptsy sucks!

XMR, and dont forget about FCN. The guy came up with merged mining, I think this coin deserves a lot of more credit and it's super undervalued right now, it was one of the first CN coins and it went under the radar, for some reason QCN had higher prices. Reason probably being good o whale pumping.

I am surprised no one has mentioned Boolberry (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=577267.0) yet:

- Strongest Anonymity of all CryptoNote Coins
- Lightweight blockchain (tx dust removed)
- Easy to use GUI wallet for all operating systems
- Fast blockchain
- Network Alerts
- Wallet address aliasing
- Fair Launch with no premine

NXT = not a BTC clone, easy to use great wallet, dedicated dev team
KARM =  dedicated dev team, only coin with embedded for profit LLC
BTC = first mover status, most useable features for widespread adoption
 

Triff ..

So do I. I cant see you losing on NXT.
This is the thing that confuses me sometimes: people who say 'Oh, noze, I missed the train on NXT'
Well, you haven't. NXT has a plan, we're here for the long term, not just a 3 week pump and dump.

Right now, NXT is 5 cents per, and I'm pretty sure that that will be up to 50 cents or maybe even a round dollar by the end of the year.
So, if you want to get rich for nothing, forget NXT, but if you want a good investment..... 8)

That's called free market.

The early adopters of bitcoin hate it because they were getting woodies about having lots of a currency that would be in shrinking supply (coins lost) with increasing demand.

Then altcoins came, and they realized their wet dream was just that - when there is high demand and limited supply, there's an opportunity and the altcoins are filling that opportunity.

This will bring bitcoin down, down to what it should be - not to what speculators have made it into.

I am interested as to why you specify these two thing in particular.

1) What innovation do you seek? If there is a particular problem you feel needs addressed then look for the people working on that solution, otherwise it is just token innovation.
3) If a currency has utility as a currency it will by definition be used and therefore exchanged on reasonable markets.

NXT, maybe.

KARM is being delisted from Bittrex and probably Mintpal later on.

Riecoin

 

 Wow so many coins listed,  I feel almost ashamed listing another one for you.

 Viacoin just launched 2 days ago and received massive attention, I would suggest looking into it (read it's blog) now since the market went slightly down after its massive hype and attention it received from all over the community- with over 1100 BTC in volume last night, as well as it has been mentioned by Coindesk which even took it further.

On top of the fact that now is the time to buy, it will be launching Clearing House on top of its already strong backbone.  -It really is aiming for the top 3 in Coin Marketcap. 

Personally, I'm an early buyer in it... I see massive potential and a well known Dev that doesnt want to risk his reputation.


Goodluck,

NXT for innovation, Reddcoin for what Doge should have been. Both are great investments.

Fractalcoin
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=650173.0

1) Coin must be really innovative
Clear winner here, coins this innovative only come along every couple of months!
It has a new algorithm called 'slingshield' which expands on 'digishield' and adds percentage-based-fees.
It's also attack resistant up to 71%!
White paper here:
https://mega.co.nz/#!gBEQ3JhQ!0R40rMjdN8jbzxKAtH9X3ZciRx5yuBOsq7KWosGUFgo

2) Coin has an excellent and competent development team with evidence that they are competent and excellent
The dev team have already proved themselves in producing this revolutionary new algorithm.
In other areas they're open to well considered improvements.

3) Coin has a good chance of getting on Bittrex and Mintpal
Is already on Bittrex, Poliniex and Cryptsy, likely Mint will add it soon.

4) Coin has an excellent and large community and a community which is growing by the day
It's only a month old and still under most peoples radar, but we're in the process of building Twitter, Reddit and Facebook groups.
Dev's are active on IRC
Links in main thread: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=650173.0

5) Coin is relatively new?
Only a month old and just had a smooth transition from traditional PoW to PoW+slingshield+percentage-based-fees.
It's the perfect time to get involved.

*Don't miss the faucet in my sig :)

Vertcoin of course. Once the devs open source Stealth addresses, you'll like see it being used here: http://www.reddit.com/r/DarkNetMarkets/comments/2awhhj/expect_a_new_open_darknet_marketplace_soon/

VTC has a lot of unrealized potential. Good luck with your search!

BC or blackcoin has alot of development in it.   Theres not large amounts of new coins produced so the holders are not being undermined and the devs keep improving it.  Very simple to use, quick and basically no hassle.
  Its listed on a few big exchanges including mintpal and its graph has been on bitcoinwisdom a while.   I will be buying more as its not a new coin and really not hyped hence is very much a 'cheap' coin not peaking as many do on publicity.  A few times its fallen back in price and recovered and due to the more or less fixed amount of coins, future gains in price are once again likely but even without value gains I find it a practical usable coin to hold onto for 2014 and beyond

NXT


1) Coin must be really innovative
Built from scratch. The asset exchange is a really cool feature, among many others (check out the wallet, very slick)
 
2) Coin has an excellent and competent development team with evidence that they are competent and excellent
Browse the nxt forums https://nxtforum.org/index.php

devs are very active and are putting out impressive work..see for yourself

3) Coin has a good chance of getting on Bittrex and Mintpal
I don't know why it isn't. 80-100 BTC daily volume on BTer is on the low end, the coin definitely gets action

4) Coin has an excellent and large community and a community which is growing by the day
Again, check out the forums. Join, post, feel it out for yourself.

5) Coin is relatively new?
Not too new, but I'd pick an established coin with history over a new coin with uncertainty looming


Right now is a good buy-in price....well, anything below 10 cents is a good buy in price, imo


become active in the forums, I think you'll have a hard time not buying NXT...it's already a top 3 coin, well established. Much less of a gamble than new coins

i'm interesting with syscoin and bitshares recently
it have unique feature and have a potential to booming in the future
but i must learn more about that before invest there

I don't understand how these minor coins are planning to survive? You need market, you need merchants, you need liquidity and at least a few hundreds of people using it.

most of this it's just for pumping-dumping scheme, not in long term
hard to find some merchants accept altcoin for payment.
but from all those altcoin, it seems some of them has potential in the future with their unique feature

I completely agree, but would change hundred to thousands, or hundreds of thousands.

If the main focus of a project is centered around crypto currency people, traders, investors, miners, then there can only be limited success, if any. For a currency to earn any value, it must have significant outreach and prioritise adoption. simply it must try to be a currency for people.
