These are the best small cap alts that I know:

BlockV - Great team and advisors, working project, lots of developers on board, low market cap.
Bomb - Experimental, lots of hype, first hyper-deflationary coin, low market cap.
Divi Project - Working project, great team and advisors, constant updates, low market cap.
Grin - First "mimble-wimble" ultra-private coin.  All sound fundamentals and low market cap.

A few stand out to me:

BlockV - Great team and advisors, working project, lots of developers on board, low market cap.
Bomb - Experimental, lots of hype, first hyper-deflationary coin, low market cap.
Divi Project - Working project, great team and advisors, constant updates, low market cap
Grin - First "mimble-wimble" ultra-private coin.  All sound fundamentals and low market cap.

A couple people asked a very fair question... what good is another masternode coin except making more of it?   At least 95% of masternode cryptos fall into this type of category.

Divi stands out however because we have a good long-range plan to solve many problems in crypto.  Crypto has hit a wall and isn't being adopted, because it's too difficult for average users.  Our number one focus is to solve that problem.  Our one-click masternode setup is just a demo to show our technological prowess and seriousness in accomplishing our goals.   

Read about the many problems we're solving: https://blog.diviproject.org/divi-solving-problems

Next will come many new technologies:

Vaulting - you will be able to protect your coins long term
Pin Coin Send - send DIVI to friends using a pin code so only they can unlock the transaction.
Named Accounts instead of numbers
Email/Phone send - Send DIVI only by knowing someone's email/phone#
Side-chained to Bitcoin, ETH, etc so you can use all our user-friendly features for your favorite cryptos too

With DIVI you will never have fear again when you hit the SEND button.

Our goal is to make you hate using all other coins and wallet systems.

Our team is top shelf.  Very experienced.  See for yourself: https://diviproject.org/#team

We've received massive mainstream media attention, but almost unknown in crypto.  Two interviews on the floor of the NY stock exchange.  Nasdaq interview.  Twice on TechRepublic.  Bold TV.  Many more.  See a partial list here:  https://wiki.diviproject.org/#media-placements

Join us and see.

New ANN coming soooooooooooon!

Anything new going on with ARC these days?  I still have a masternode running somewhere but haven't checked it in months.

I admit the only book I've read of Tim's was "Love is the Killer App" which is amazing.  I have the L-Factor in my Kindle now but have been too busy to even read the first page.  I'll get to it on my next airplane flight.

Although nothing is in writing about it, I can say that one of my favorite online companies has agreed in principle to participate with The Divi Project:

www.novica.com

(It may have helped that the CEO/founder is a friend of mine from way back.)  

Everyone go buy something from them, it's the coolest company on the planet and they have amazing things.  Seriously, check it out.

There will be more.  Many more.  It's a new revenue stream for them, and everyone wants to be involved with a cool new cryptocurrency.  Plus we will supply the technology... "Pay with Divi" buttons for their shopping carts, etc.   So it costs them nothing and they get to be part of our PR blitzes so it's free advertising.

I think you're right, the tech is not always the most important thing.  The community that forms around a crypto is what drives its value.  The technology provides no value alone but creates hype the makes a community excited about its potential future.  A good example is IOTA.  People love the tangle and are becoming big fans of it, even though it's not actually doing anything right now.

What I can tell you is that we're very aware of the community aspect.  If you visit our slack or telegram, you'll find us always there to answer questions, and treat everyone with respect.  We love to turn critics into fans.

If you look at our team, you'll notice that we have a woman named Heidi Krupp.  She and her husband Darren are top NYC publicists.  We have a 2-5 year plan (as long as it takes) to bring Divi to the attention of millions of people through publicity.  Heidi works with Tony Robbins, Gary Vaynerchuck, Oprah Winfrey, etc, etc.   Right now, in the media the only coin that's in the news is Bitcoin.  Sometimes they talk about Ethereum.  Occasionally you hear about Monero because some criminals are using it.   Divi will be the other one you're going to hear about, with a story about how it's so much easier to use than other cryptocurrencies.  It's for regular people.  It's security is better and safer.  It's like using PayPal but can do so much more.  This is an easy story to sell because everyone hears about Bitcoin, but when they start looking into it, only a tiny community of geeks want anything to do with it.  Divi will change that.

Thanks everyone for all the comments.  Keep 'em coming!  We'll try to answer everything as quickly as we can.  Try our slack or telegram too for even faster response.  Someone on the team is online nearly 24/7.

Having a masternode is like being a miner.  It gives you a chance to earn the right to add a block to the blockchain.  If your masternode is a higher level, you get an extra multiplier effect that improves your chances to win the block.  Like this:

1000 Coins - Level 1: Copper
3000 Coins - Level 2: Silver +5%
10,000 Coins - Level 3: Gold +10%
30,000 Coins - Level 4: Platinum +15%
100,000 Coins - Level 5: Diamond + 20%

This encourages people to hold onto more coins, and try to accumulate more to reach a higher level.  More people holding coins means more stability in the network, and more scarcity of coins, which helps the value.  Owning a masternode also allows you to participate in the governance system and have a vote in the future of the Divi network itself.

Hi thanks for your comments everyone.  Hopefully people will look at what we're doing carefully.

I'll try to drop by occasionally to answer questions, and other members of our team will too.

I think a good one is ARC (Arctic Coin):  https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/arcticcoin/

Website: https://arcticcoin.org/en-EN/specification

It's a PoS masternode coin, and it's still really cheap with a low market cap. 

A group has formed over the past few days and is organizing to HODL it... buy and hold coins in masternodes, which produce a great interest rate.   The group is creating memes, working on a new roadmap with the original devs (who seemed to have abandoned it and are now back on it), and bring in more people.

To join the slack group, click this invite:  https://join.slack.com/t/cryptorocketteam/shared_invite/MjEzMDcyNTQ3NDc4LTE0OTk5MzQ3OTItMjcyZDVhYTI1OA

There were 60 people yesterday, and today 130 with the rate rapidly climbing.

Because of the local market cap and coin price, it has a long way to go up so has a lot of potential.  Buying now, if it goes to $20 million market cap will x12-x15 your investment, and that could happen in just a couple of weeks, like what happened with ChainCoin.

Check it out.

Join the new ARC slack and check out the #masternode-info channel.  You can get help there.   If you're unable to find who you need there, then you can ask there about the Discord group that has even more technical help.

There's a new FAQ section on their website that answers a lot of questions:  https://medium.com/nimiq-network/nimiq-faq-11e77b0030b3
