1. Monero--most like cash (fungible/private).

2. Bitcoin--the original and I can keep it in my 401K.  Grin

Don't study coins outside of privacy concerns, so 3-5 will remain blank until a feature(s) i want jumps out at me.

Doge is doing good, recovering after looking almost dead. Good to play pump and dump.

LTC also has some good rises.

Bitcoin is bitcoin and has other uses other than trading.

Now I need 2 more

2. MaidSafeCoin (Decentralized Internet)
3. Dogecoin (Bring me to the crypto and I still like it)
4. DigiByte (Longterm development plans, 5 algo, no 51% attack vulnerability, about 5k tx in second soon)

I'm seeing NXT on almost every post. Can people expand on the exact reasons for putting it on their list?

I feel like there's too much blockchain bloat going on. What exactly are they doing to address this? Blockchain Shrinking? What are the technical details behind the rolling genesis block every node generates?

Simple put, could  NXT support millions of transactions per hour at it's current stage? The blockchain would be impossible to download after a month for regular users. How are they addressing this?
 
Fair enough blockchain bloat effects all coins, but particularly with the amount of data NXT stores on each transaction it'll require x100 the storage per transaction.

Forgive me if I've missed out on anything obvious

C'mon, OP asked for some reasoning behind your choices people.

1) BitShares - Delegated proof of stake consensus enables decentralized governance via stakeholder voting for roles (witness, delegate, worker). BitShares is the first distributed ledger network to pay the devs that wrote it. Quickest block intervals (currently 10 seconds, soon to be 2), first platform to implement collateralized stablecoins without counterparty risk, on-chain decentralized exchange. The "industrial" blockchain. Engaged community and visionary dev teams (core devs in Blacksburg, bitsapphire in Kosovo, DACPLAY in China).

2) Bitcoin - tried and true, a crowd favorite. Also I like being able to spend cryptocurrency so although I don't hold onto very much BTC I do convert to it on the fly using gateways like metaexchange.info, shapeshift.io, and blocktrades.us.

3) Ethereum - cool project, good vision, looking forward to seeing what it can do when it stabilizes.

Honorary mentions: I've heard Qora is doing some cool stuff with AT. I also would like to learn more about the state of anon coins like dash & monero.

Thank you robrigo. This is what I was looking for, may I ask why you're not a fan of NXT? (coming from a guy who's only noticed its popularity via this thread)

I don't know enough about what is going on in the NXT ecosystem, but in general don't see any benefits to using its on-chain exchange over BitShares. It is slower, there aren't any market pegged assets, and it does not include on-chain governance features that I know of (electing roles via stake-weighted approval voting). Also, I think bytemaster makes some compelling arguments here and here as to why BitShares has a larger degree of decentralization over NXT. In general I'm not very interested in traditional proof of stake as the block rewards centralize towards the largest stakeholders, due to their increased chances to sign a block proportional to their stake.

BitShares will also scale to enable VISA / NASDAQ levels of TPS; the next major release will support 100,000 transactions per second.

In general I'm not very interested in traditional proof of stake as the block rewards centralize towards the largest stakeholders, due to their increased chances to sign a block proportional to their stake.

 Roll Eyes

Bitshares is "decentralized" like the Federal Reserve is decentralized.  Effectively, a very small minority of the wealthy can rig all the delegate elections, thus control all the block producers, because they use approval voting.  The worst thing that can happen in NXT is a large stakeholder can forge the same percentage of blocks as he has stake.  This is fair because everyone produces blocks in proportion to their stake.  A large NXT stakeholder cannot influence who the other block producers are.  A large BTS shareholder can influence who is "elected" as a block producer beyond the proportion of Bitshares they own because approval voting allows them to throw the full weight of their vote behind multiple candidates.  Approval voting is unfair.

The Congress of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union (Russian: cъeзд КПCC) was the gathering of the delegates of the Communist Party and its predecessors. According the party statute, it was the supreme ruling body of the entire Communist Party.

delegates


Bitshares has delegates.  Bitshares is very popular among us Communists in cryptospace.  Shocked  "Free" coins all failing right now, while Bitshares' first 5 year plan is producing immense success.

Thank you Comrade.

Urgent message to the Comrades of the Engineering Department of the Soviet Socialist Republic of Bitshares....

Please fix the Windows desktop Wallet!!! It is slower than a Trabant and uses more memory than a Russian Grand Chessmaster! Or please, please, please... once and-for-all... create an "official" online browser-based wallet with trading interface (see RippleTrade!!!)

With dreams of our glorious Red Flag flying, with the sweet thunderous sounds of Katyusha rockets, and with visions of sexy Russian mail-order brides, and in honor of the smoothest triple distilled vodka...I would ask all fellow Bitshare Comrades to humbly click on the link below and stand proudly to our alt coin Anthem:
