Thanks for the links Im looking for specific coins/devs working on decentralized markets, thats where the future is .. but from what Ive read here theres a ton of BS in this arena...bitbay comes to mind but this technology is going to change things....a basket of these is the safest way to play this, at least for me....

So yea Im new here. I found my way here from a mention of Openbaazar and Bitbay in regards to a market on the I2P network. No secret that decentralized marketplaces are needed. The question is who will win the day. In light of the trainwrecks/fud/dox'n going on here I dont need to say this is risk capital only and maybe a bit looney....

Im looking to set up a basket of altcoins to put in my portfolio. Im not interested in "daytrading", been there done that with Q's, Spyders and the 4 horseman during the dotcom days.... So Im looking for serious suggestions to research. The reading here is like reading the yahoo stock forums back in the dotcom heyday...weeding thru the BS is work....

Observations, many of the coins listed here seems to have the same web developer/templates, just running basic whois research on domain names, nameservers and hosts makes for interesting reading. In reality OpenBazaar is the only one NOT pushing a coin so my personal bet is on them BUT Im a speculator and looks like my best 'bet' is putting a basket together..... soooo suggest away....

Ok you got my attention, Ive been lurking here since I first heard about it while on the I2P network. There was a functioning market using multi-sig transactions but it shut down, someone speculated that it was merely a 'proof of concept' application. Tons of great technical info and help was available on the forums there, unfortunately I2P, using Electrum all on Tails was a bit to complex for most users but it worked. The speculation was with the new decentralized markets like Openbaazar and Bitbay was where its(he) headed so here I've been watching this train wreck until I saw I2P mentioned. I'm headed to Syscoin to check it out.....
