List of Alt Coins Backed By A Business

UCIcoin claims to be "the first real asset backed cryptocurrency": https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=971071.0

Startcoin point by point:

1. Startcoin was developed as a part of the startjoin ecosystem, and thus is not made for short term profit, but rather as a tool for a purpose. Who the developer is/was is not even important.

2. Startjoin is certainly a legit company that you can buy stock in.

3. StartCoin is circulated and used more than most coins, and not hoarded to the same degree since its used to fund projects on startjoin. One example, https://www.startjoin.com/ggbradford2015 - a British politician was founded close to 20K$ mostly with startcoin.

4. There are no forks to my knowledge.

5. This may be the only point where you might think its not ideal. I think its better than ideal. Startcoin is 50% premined. The premine is used to pay interest on coins deposited at startjoin, and also to award pledges you do on startjoin. The karma score decides how many coins you get each week.

6. Startcoin is not very scarce, so it can still be had for a good price. Recirculating of coins through the pledge system means that there will always be coins to buy, and no artificially high price to pay.

7. Im not sure what you mean here, but the current market cap of about 500K $ can not be considered high given that close to 1/20 of the market cap can be involved in one single project.

8. Startcoin certainly has the best publicity potential of any coin besides bitcoin. It's used to fund politicians, it has two well known TV stars from RT leading the publicity campaign (you know who), it even has its own TV-shows https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cANXmKwMWMc + https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yczG8ksP0GQ

1. I beg to differ. I like to know who's behind it for it makes me feel more "secure" and he has less possibilities of "run away with my money/btc".
8. Is there a connection with Max Keizer (from Max-Coin?). I heard he got involved on another coin and dumped the previous one.

Valid points on the rest.

1. You better get out of bitcoin then Source should be here for all to see: https://github.com/startcoin-project/startcoin

8. Yes, Max Keiser is involved. But there is a slight difference between Maxcoin and Startcoin. Maxcoin was created with Max Keisers blessing and he helped promote it, but it was never his brain child. Startcoin was/is his (and his cooperators) creation from the beginning, and the developers did it on contract.

1. Again valid point. But BTC was the first and will always have the biggest cap IMHO. Others will simply follow, besides there's no other way to enter an altcoin but bitcoin as intermediate. Besides, not knowing Satoshi didn't make him run away with our money... But then, maybe he did; who knows? Let aside the 99% of the altcoin devs out there. What's their incentive? GET MORE BTCs! Think about it.

8. Well. This is something worth seeing. I'm involved on a couple of alts right now, but only with ''play money'' (ie: donations, ad campaigns and small mining). I got nothing to lose, and I bet there's more to win (ie: on XMR I doubled what I've initially invested atm). I got burned with DOGE (bought high, never sold - small loss though) and Maxcoin too (only though mining via the declining price).

 I'll look into Startcoin. Maybe there's something I didn't see yet. But then again, maybe MAXCOIN should teach me what not to do, before I get my filthy hands on it

Just get yourself an account on Startjoin and learn how it works. There are three sources of money on there, Paypal, Startcoin and Bitcoin. Paypal is a pain in the ass because of chargebacks and a general policy with great suspicion to everything involving crypto. Bitcoin works great except for one reason, it can not easily be refunded to backers if a project is not fully funded. Bitcoin is thus used only after 100% funding is reached. Startcoin on the other hand is built into the plattform and can easily be refunded.

Any other coins that are backed by a legitimate business?

Just watch this video to get an idea of one of the uses of StartCOIN.

I've got a good one for you! BitSEND company who made checkcoin, then ran away with everyone's ICO funds.

Being a company that backs a coin doesn't mean sh*t. They can still take all your money with no consequences. In fact it's easier for them to scam you.
