What's going to make it?

(in any case its one of the few coins kept alive not out of personal gain by its core supporters).

Core supporters -- AKA people seeking personal gain.

DGC will make it. It's only a few months old and you call it "waiting for the longest time" lol. Supporting a coin only when it's going up isn't support at all. It's opportunistic.

For those who are actually investing and not in for the quick buck there are far worse choices than Dgc: Diff adjustment is coming in just a few days and will make the stales drop to a low level again. Dev is very active and working on a new exchange. There was a client update just recently. Great community and projects ahead.

Besides, I'd be much more worried about Ltc's future.

The only possible way all these scrypt coins can survive if someone can be arsed to program in merged mining. They are just too expensive to secure on their own.
