Which alt-coin to use compared to LTC or BTC?

[MaxLAMF]

Hi,

I´ve been away for over a month and now I see over a dozen new coins.
Opposed to the few established coins (BTC, LTC, PPC, TRC) on which coin would you bet? Feather coin, Freicoin, Mincoin, etc.?

It would take days for me to gain enough knowledge to be able to make a final decision which coin to mine (meanwhile I´m still BTC mining).

So please lets hear on which coin you bet and why?

Thanks in advance!

BTW: BBQ is dead, because of 51% attack, right?

None of the above. BTC, LTC, and possibly yacoin (or, more likely, its descendants), if only because of different mining methods/algorithms.

BTC and LTC are the only two I know of that can be exchanged for USD
All the others are tied to some othe coin with conversion fees and added confirmation time.

BTC and LTC.

CNC is really fast, sadly it is "china" coin.
Now I'm mining/buying some WDC, looks promising.

But keep you BTC/LTC, all other ones are risk for now.

CNC has issues... LTC only has to its advantage a wide initial distribution. There may be appetite for a bitcoin successor, but it doesn't yet exist.

WDC... LOLWaT

Thanks so far folks!


Royalcoin also has probably no future, right?

But what about Terracoin? According to coinwarz and dustcoin there seems to be a ratio of 125% or ~144% to BTC.
Wouldn´t that be more efficient than keep on mining BTC? But I guess the development of TRC´s exchange rate is the key/problem?

The problem with Terracoin is that it is profitable for short time windows, but over a long time I believe it to be less profitable than BTC. If I am not mistaken, the changes in profitability come more from difficulty adjustments than price changes.

Yeah I see...
Seems you´re right.

Thought anyway that all those new coins are a scam in some way and therefore didn´t took the effort to get into them too much...
