i personally dont know a great deal about powercoin, as there's a new one everyday.  But would like to know what draws you it? what makes it different?

still wondering if alts popularity depends purely on how new they are, currently this is what the pool shows.  Maybe due to this being posted in newbie section.... some of the alts have a millions of dollars in market capitalization, those arent the favorites at this point.

Some alt coins may survive on the sidelines, but I don't see anything out there with enough technical advantage to trump the simple fact that bitcoin is already established, has a decent market capitalization, and infrastructure.
Just like just being technically better than Facebook is not enough to unseat it, being a technically better currency than Bitcoin is not enough to challenge it. The network effects are simply too strong for that.

NAMECOIN.
Only Coin with a function besides being a currency.


why?
because of, for example,

this  http://falkvinge.net/2013/05/16/prosecutor-hints-that-root-domain-registry-is-criminally-liable-for-copyright-monopoly-infringements-on-the-pirate-bay/
and this  http://yro.slashdot.org/story/12/03/06/1720230/us-asserts-super-jurisdiction-over-dot-com-dot-net-and-dot-org-domains

we have to build a new internet, NAMECOIN could really, really help.

Powercoin doesn't appear to bring anything new to the table; the same goes for many others on that list.

YAC brings something new, in that it is relatively resistant to GPU mining for the time being.

WDC offers staggeringly fast transaction speeds, but this could have a detrimental effect in the future. Who knows.

For now, these are the strongest new altcoins.

I'm gonna say worldcoin, mostly because it seems to have accrued significant hashing momentum and goodwill, which will propel it onto one of the exchanges. Choice of name is good for broad appeal. Superficial things like that can really matter for the success of a coin.

I have firecoins so I am hoping for them. Really I don't think a great alt is out yet besides litecoin.
