Below is the list of top 4 coins I mainly focus and the reason why.

Bitcoin
Bitcoin is the single largest and most recognized cryptocurrency in existence.

Stellar Lumens
Stellar Lumens is a similar technology to Ripple, however, instead of focusing solely on the banks they have built a system to integrate merchants, banks and the general population.

Historia
A novel idea. To keep current happenings on the blockchain. To ensure that in the future third parties politicians and etc wouldn’t twist facts based on their needs.


Monero (XMR) — privacy enabled by default. There will always be a demand for an anonymous channel for commerce.

Others like Mithril, Ontology, etc

It all depends on what is your aim. To make a quick buck now or invest some for future gains. You posted at 2016, and so far the market changes a lot.

I am focusing now on

BTC (Yes Still)
LTC

While investing some resource on alt projects that I strongly believe to be strong players in their own field later in the future

RavenCoin
QuarkChain
Monero
Zcash
Historia

It is a question that has as many answers as there are people answering it.  For now probably Bitcoin (It is rising and I am afraid all Alts will rise later). In the future, no one can say for sure. Thus it is hard to speculate on it. However, the key is to look for a coin with a solid team bringing features that have the most appeal to the masses. Not only the features must be great but also the design and ease of use.

Mass adoption won’t happen until the products are as slick as the current centralized ones. 

But for the sake of the answer here is my list of projects that have the best future as of today:

QuakChain
Raven
Stellar
Historia.network
DGB

Hi everyone, we are pleased to announce the release of the first official Android version of Historia Wallet! Download now and share your insights! :grinning:

Please find more details at Official Historia Mobile Wallet Release

We live in a world where too much censorship by government and media corporate owners is increasingly infringing on our freedom of speech and denying us the right to information. Which begs the question: Is there no place for the reader to turn to for more accurate and unbiased information?

The short answer is an emphatic yes. But with Historia blockchain platform, there’s still hope.

When it comes to news reporting, political biases play a major role in determining what news gets reported, and how it gets reported. In the U.S, for example, those controlling journalists’ pens are media corporate leaders who subscribe to liberal ideology and are often not shy to promote news stories that favor their values. The Chinese government is well known for its control and censorship over media outlets— Xinhua News Agency, the mouthpiece of the Peoples Republic of China—only report news stories about state organizations or policies that are financed by state leadership themselves.

Censorship of content is also promoted through corporate advertising. Because media relies heavily on corporate advertising, journalists are censored from writing or reporting neutral and object news stories. Any attempt to challenge or critique these corporate advertisers could result in a significant drop in the newspaper’s advertising revenue. This undermines media independence.

Even social media platforms where many people turn to for receiving news have enough power and will to censor certain content and ideologies. There is no better example of this than the Facebook censorship of hundreds of political pages for being inauthentic.

All these examples show that there is a lack of true editorial independence in mainstream media. Media can be fake, far right and not sufficiently fact-checked. In addition, people are becoming skeptical about the information they read on social networks because content can easily be compromised or censored by these organizations. Therefore, there is need to stop over-reliance on corporate media and social networks for news and important events happening around us.

Having an independent, unbiased information source that is free from censorship is critical to ensure news events are written and documented as accurately as possible and to every end of the spectrum. It is important to give the public information that is accurate and truthful and free from intrinsic bias so that citizens can think critically make better-informed decisions.

Luckily, with the inception of new technologies such as blockchain, alternative ways of documenting and sharing news stories are being created to achieve this goal.

Historia is an open source, an immutable database for recording accurate accounts of news events in an uneditable manner to prevent censorship and third-party interference. The platform is designed to serve as a refreshingly honest and impartial information source. That Historia is built using blockchain technology means that information is secured by the incredible power of distributed ledger, making it highly difficult for historical events to be altered, deleted or censored. Historia is also collectively owned by the community which makes it impossible for the government to restrict access or for corporate executives to influence what information gets added to the blockchain.

Our hope is that Historia will become an independent and immutable information source that not only guarantees the truthfulness of reported facts, figures and stories, but also holds politicians accountable for their misdeeds, lies, and obfuscations.

Hi everyone! Did you know how historia uses blockchain technology to help protect users from third-party interference? Please feel free to read and post here if you have further questions!

How Historia can be used to prevent censorship

Historia uses blockchain technology to help protect users from third-party interference

Here’s a serious question to ponder: Do private, centralized organizations and government authorities have the right to act as gatekeepers and censor the content we access and share online?

Internet companies like Facebook and Google are well aware of the content you share online, and can refuse to handle some of it. Not only is this an infringement on privacy, but it places private companies in a position of power. Tech companies monitor and control our online activities and can restrict controversial views and opinions.

Inevitably, these private companies are under increasing pressure from European regulators to filter and control free speech. This filtering effort runs the risk of censorship, in which users have access to less content and a wide ray of free speech may end up being removed from online platforms based on their terms and conditions.

For example, China exerts a strict internet censorship regime known as the Great Firewall which includes among other things, blocking social network sites like Reddit, Twitter, and Facebook.  By censoring the operation of centralized encrypted messaging services like WhatsApp and Messenger in China, access to these services is restricted to Chinese citizens.

Additionally, the Chinese authorities have in the past blocked information related to the crackdown against protesters in Beijing’s Tiananmen Square on the anniversary of the event. Such stricter content restrictions have caused concerns that internet censorship restricts the open exchange of ideas and silences the sort of healthy criticism that allows true freedom and accountability.

Historia has the power to stop censorship and allow citizens to not only enjoy the economic benefits of the Internet but also, the benefits of freedom of expression and right to information.

Historia began last year as a decentralized database which prioritizes recording of past and current events in an immutable manner to help prevent information censorship. Historia facilitates accurate documentation of historical events using encryption, cryptography, and IPFS content storage system, preventing third-party interference. Interplanetary File Storage (IPFS) is a peer-to-peer content storage system for guaranteeing that content hosted on Historia blockchain is immutable and highly secure to combat censorship. Moreover, it would be impossible for governments to restrict access to records held on Historia because of its decentralized nature.

Even the Historia team has no “backdoor access” to alter what’s being uploaded. The network is distributed between users and no centralized version of these records exists for government authorities to turn off, obscure or delete. Users submit accurate accounts of events and vote to add these records in the blockchain. Once the record is uploaded to the blockchain, it becomes immutable and can neither be altered, edited, or deleted. This is essential to prevent changes to the records, even under distress from bad actors or threat of imprisonment.

By stopping censorship, we can hold the government and centralized organizations accountable before the public and ensure there is no hindrance to civilization advancement due to censorship.

Help us combat information censorship. Join Historia blockchain today.

I would suggest to search for project that are already going on and never done any ICO nor they have any premine, instamine or founder taxes. This way the funds are not pre-allocated to certain sum.

In addition these projects are already in the development and are much less likely to be a scam.

1. BitTorrent (Though somebod will not agree and said it is too hyped project)
2. Marconi Protocol
3. StarkWare
4. Historia
5. Oasis Labs

BTC, ETH, XRP, XMR, EOS, are all good to invest for beginner.

If you want to buy some altcoins, maybe can consider this, new tech for record the history on the blockchain. See how they do:

"Historia disrupts, as cliche as it sounds, the history market. And if you think there is no history market than the way the history is recorded and kept. Opening the possibility to everyone become the historian, the keeper of records of our history.

Historia is a blockchain-based database focused on preserving the original account of history. Our aim is to incentivize the contribution of accurate historical events that will be reviewed by a diverse, globally distributed pool of voters. Historia decentralizes the recording of history from the few to the many, providing a change log to history and a platform to combat censorship and bias."

It is not ICO, it is already on exchanges, so nothing fraud, just want to make sure more guys know it! They are listed on STEX exchange

Else I heard for times are like Bittorrent, Dfinity, you can all consider, before investing please investigate deeply on the projects.

It is the project that you believe in based on your own research. It is best to focus on mining coins that you have done research on. For either future profit or simply to support the project.  

Since recently the market is stable, so Altcoin mining is profitable.

But if you are wondering what I am mining it would be Historia coin. Here is the link to on how to start mining it. I simply love what the team is trying to build.

There are much less ICOs in 2019, I am an ICO marketing manager, and several of my partners canceled their ICO plan...

Before we start explaining the mining intricacies you have to know that Historia uses X16R Proof of Work algorithm which is currently ASIC resistant. The X16R algorithm makes it difficult to mine using ASICs by constantly disrupting the ordering of the hashing algorithms. We aim to totally negate the use of ASIC hardware and redirect mining power back into the hands of GPUs.

Since the above is cleared up,  it is time to explain how to mine Historia. There are two ways to mine Historia; by yourself or through Historia mining pool.

Pool mining
Pool mining is a collection of miners working together. Miners combine their individual computational resources with those of the other members which enhances their joint processing power and helps to achieve the desired output faster than, say solo mining.  However, when you mine as part of a mining pool, you’ll need to pay a small fee. The offset of that is, using a pool allows you to earn more rewards and get paid much quicker. This can provide you with consistent payouts, multiple times per day.

Pros
- It’s cheaper than setting up your own mining operation at home
- You get a steady supply of Historia coins
- No technical knowledge is required to start mining

Cons
- You have to pay transaction fees on rewards
- Mining pools are subject to DDOS attacks and downtimes so there’s a risk of losing your rewards
- It is difficult to figure out if the structure of the pool reward system is a good value for money as most mining pools don’t reveal how they work

How to  mine Historia coin via Pool
Depending on the miner you are using, you should download the file and then unzip the miner.

Github direct download links:
Avermore v1.2:
https://github.com/brian112358/avermore-miner/releases
Nevermore 0.2.2:
https://github.com/brian112358/nevermore-miner/releases
Suprminer 1.6:
https://github.com/ocminer/suprminer/releases

With the miner program unzipped you should see a batch file.  If not then create one using the following steps:
1. Upon extracting the miner, within the folder create a new text file.
2. Now change .txt extension to .bat

Next right click .bat file and click edit. Once done add the following code into your batch file:

NVIDIA Enemy Miner config:
- z-enemy -a x16r -o stratum+tcp://<POOLSERVER>:3636 -u
<YOURADDRESS> -p c=HTA -i 20
T-Rex Miner config:
- t-rex -a x16r -o stratum+tcp://<POOLSERVER>:3636 -u
<YOURADDRESS> -p c=HTA -i 20
CCMiner / Nevermore / Suprminer config:
- ccminer -a x16r -o stratum+tcp://<POOLSERVER>:3636 -u
<YOURADDRESS> -p c=HTA -i 20

AMD Avermore miner config:
- set GPU_FORCE_64BIT_PTR=0
- set GPU_USE_SYNC_OBJECTS=1
- set GPU_MAX_ALLOC_PERCENT=100
- set GPU_SINGLE_ALLOC_PERCENT=100
- set GPU_MAX_HEAP_SIZE=100
- sgminer.exe -k x16r -o sstratum+tcp://<POOLSERVER>:3636 -u
<YOURADDRESS> -p c=HTA -i 20 -p x -X 256 –gpu-platform=1

Note: Be sure to replace the –o, -u, and –p arguments with your own pool, username, and password.  Once done, save it and start the batch file.

The miner should now connect to the pool and start mining Historia. Now go to the pool and enter your address to track your earnings.

Historia Coin Specifications
Ticker: HTA
Algorithm: X16R
Block Reward: 15 Per Block
Block Time: 150 seconds

Historia solo mining
If you choose to mine solo you will enjoy the benefits of having to independently search for blocks and receive the full reward for it.  When you find the right value of the block, the whole reward will be yours, and you won’t have to share it or pay a fee.

Pros
- Rewards are higher as there are no fees involved
- You are not prone to pool downtimes
- You get the whole profit

Cons
- It is difficult to predict your mining rewards because of inconsistency in payouts
- Any wrong decision can lead you to a lot of waste in time and resources
- High computing power (hash power) is needed to mine profitably

What do you need to start mining Historia?
Before you start mining Historia coin, you’ll need the following:
- Personal computer with Windows or Linux operating system (OS)
- AMD Avemore miner or T-Rex miner or CCMiner / Nevermore / Suprminer
- X16R Miner – We recommend the following X16R miners:

 - NVidia Enemy miner
 - T-Rex miner
 - Nevermore
 - Suprminer.
- Internet connection
- Time and electricity

You will also need Historia wallet- this is where you keep the Historia coin you mine. Be sure to back up this wallet while using it to ensure your Historia coins doesn’t get lost.
