[ANALYSIS] Altcoin Investing

[odetopsyche]

I like you're analysis, and I'm interested in creating some type of rubric and/or analytical model for ranking newer altcoins, specifically. While I think I'll use some form of your 3 q's for the financial part of my rank model, do you have recommendations for any of the other areas? (Or other recommended posts).

1) Developers- Is there a strong development team? Are they active on the forums and present? What is their track record with previous projects? Can they compile a windows and os x wallet?

2) Financials- Inflation? Decentralization? Will this be listed on exchanges? Are there any vendors (or a target audience) that plans to use and exchange this coin? Does it have a viable chance of being used for internet tipping, game development, apps, environmentally-friendly research, etc.?

3) Community- Are people excited about the coin? Do people actually post on the reddit page for the coin?

4) Uniqueness- Does the coin offer anything new or novel? Does it correctly implement Kimoto Gravity Well? Does it have special block rewards? Is it the next Ethereum or crypto 2.0? OR... is it copypasta salad?

Interesting analysis, thanks for some new thoughts! While investing in most altcoins is like a gamble, and you are right that bitcoins should be the main part of the portfolio, I will suggest also to take a closer look into next generation of coins - NXT, new protocols over bitcoin like MSC and XCP, and few coming projects.

And by the way, what do you think about Darkcoin?

Seconded. I've been watching Darkcoin for some time from afar... would be interested to read an educated assessment of it.

+1

I would also like to know your opinion about Darkcoin.

I follow this thread some time ago because I seemed that way to expose was professional, follow some "tips" of investment and have only lost money, which to me confirms me "the great rule"

This is not investment advice. People always say that when giving investment advice, so I thought I'd start with it. I guess some guy once did badly and sued some other guy and now nobody advises anybody about anything anymore. If you're a litigious guy, you should stick to T-bills, whatever they are. I hear they are very safe, but don't take my word for it, as this is not, as I have already told you, investment advice.

I find it funny that people put so much blind faith in the words of others. I trust no one on the internet, and when I have to trust them, I do everything I can to confirm their story. Your opening words say "don't take this as investment advice" and then of course, someone bitches about the bad investment advice... I guess they don't realize that there's a chance you're a 13 year old who grabbed a random guy's picture off the internet.
(obviously this is not an accusation, just an example of why not to trust someone on the internet)

People need to do their own research as well as read others.

Are you still updating this?

FreeTrade: are you still updating this?
How you consider the MMC value going down? I've mined for months them because my considerations about that coin was the very same as yours
Only one negative point you've not listed: the pools are not at all distributed. 1GH.com and mmcpool.com represent mote than 95% hashpower between pools. I don't believe there are many solo miners so this is a problem now. This is due to the fact, I believe, that the only GPU miner is not open source, it's compiled and owned by 1GH.com. This must be solved for the future of the coin.
My only fear is that MMC could go in oblivion like many other alt coin

The GPU miner is really not a factor since GPU mining is very bad with this coin (it was good for about a week or two until yvg1900 released his Yam Miner for MMC which eliminated this advantage).
I think it is safe to say that MMC is the most (or one of very few) GPU resistant coin existing today.

As for the pools - The coin's CNO is working on a (already in beta) p2pool to solve this issue...
This should hopefully move many people to use the official pool with far lower fees (1%) and will create a better hash power distribution.

I was hoping to see ADT on the list as its been all fixed and sorted for a couple weeks now

I believe GPU is still viable and interesting. I've mined MMC for some time with two of the R290 of my mining rig with 41 HPM and it was profitable (now it isn't at electicity price here in Italy). As a comparison with my i7 with AES-NI on and hugepage working I achieve an 8 HPM. To obtain the same result the only way I had was to mine on my company server CPUs but... this was not an option
Yes, cpu wattage is less but the watt per hash ratio, I believe, is still pointing to GPU mining.

This would be interesting. I'll go read about it.

[digitalindustry]

This is still a fairly sound analysis in my opinion, interesting to come back and see how it's going.

[taaku]

where is mmc now???

[farfiman]

where is mmc now???

On the date of  the OP-  1 mmc= 0.00030083
Today.......................   1 mmc= 0.00001530

this is the life in altcoins

Memorycoin 8/10, Litecoin 1/10

No guesses that Freetrade released and holds a lot of Memorycoins.

Great advice.

Right now one of the most powerful Cryptocurrencies to invest in would be radium it already has a market capitalization of $1.21 million the technology is relatively simple to understand and it is about file sharing the verification process is linked to a theory that may prevent any malicious tempting to downloadable file as cybersecurity is a big concern for the future.
