I believe cryptocurrencies are the future but I'm having trouble deciding where to mine each night when I go to sleep. I'm not interested in using a "revenue" calculator to decide what to mine because I'm mining my coins to hold for the foreseeable future except maybe a few to gamble here and there when I get the itch. Anyways the question that I ask myself and what I'd like to hear from people smarter than me (you guys) is what separates alt coin X from the rest of the pack?
In my opinion the most important features of a coin are its' innovative features, network power, developer support, and merchant support. While all of these are important I feel like developer support is the most crucial for long-term success. Yes, merchant support is necessary for wide-scale adoption and the network needs to be strong/distributed enough to hold up to a 51% attacks but without proper developer support nothing really matters, IMO. I look back at some of the coins that have been released in the past few months and pity the folks who wasted good hashing power on a coin whose developer hasn't made a post since they announced the coin or hasn't been seen for months.
Miners - What are you guys mining and why?
Developers - What separates your coin?
EDIT: Before I get jumped on for not using a revenue calculator to decide what to mine each night then converting to my preferred alt coin I consider the lost revenue worth the cost of sticking with my preferred coin to keep my preferred network stronger by contributing my hashing power.
