Hi there,
I was always interessted on Bitcoin but now I want to try some Altcoins and see how things goes . What is basically the best one ?
Most of people tell me Litecoin or Darkcoin , Do you think that Darkcoin have a future ?

The ones with new source:
1. NXT
2. Bitshares
3. Crypti
4. Nodecoin
5. Qora
6. Vanilla
7. ...
Ok, but that still leaves my question unanswered. How do we measure that the coin is really worth something, and further out of these worth something, which is the most promising one? Is having a new code better than taking the old Bitcoin code and improving it?
Should that be the only criterion?
I think there should be a team which will continuously develop the given source code, add new features.
right now im betting nxt for the long run as they are developing services on top of the platform at blazing speed compared to any other coin I've seen right now. the only contender i feel to be a threat is ethereum as they do have large amounts of following and developers waiting to build on top of that platform. i see it as a race to acquire the top devs to create the "kill app" or the "facebook" app of the crypto world where everyone would use it even those not familiar with crypto. its this holy grail app/service that sits on top of the blockchain that would really skyrockect bitcoin along with an "innovative" altcoin that implements it. i say go where the devs are and those that show much progress. regardless btc is here to stay as its the gateway to the fiat world. its just which 2.0 crypto will prevail and right now its nxt vs ethereum imo.
Superb post.
