Good Alts?

[RealBitcoin]

NXT (Has the most potential)
Monero (XMR) (for anonymous needs...like deepweds)

Anything else will die out, and is obsolete. I see people saying BTS, please learn economics, that is a scam and highly inflationary.

Same as Dogecoin is a hyperinflated crap.

The good ones to I may add BURST, it is similar to NXT but it is hard-disk mined, which is very innovative and enviroment friendly, might wanna check out that, i`m keeping it in watchlist if anything exciting happens over there. Although i havent invested in BURST yet:

Also VTR has some nice innovation too, it offers paid torrenting, i`ll invest in that soon:

Franko is for sure the best alt around

[guytp]

In the VNL fan club here.  It's not a direct Bitcoin clone, it has a good develop behind it, there's been a lot of work going in to the technology, it's compatible with Bitcoin RPC to aid development, zero-confirmation transactions imminently and it just got picked up on Chinese exchanges and has seen 50% boost in exchange in last couple of days.  POS and iOS/Android staking wallets.

Look at the viral buy book @trex, it's dead

[g3rszpi]

What alts do you see making it in the next year?

Nxt. It's slowly becoming noticed in the outside world. I can't say that its price will go "to da moon", but it's definitely going places as a cryptocurrency. More to the point, it's slowly emerging from Bitcoin's shadow.

(To be honest, Nxt's relative price stability in Bitcoin terms is a blessing in disguise. Not much gains if you buy smart, but not much loss either.)

Nxt was already noticed in outside world. I think that nxt should have even more poularity. It one of the most brilliant coins ever made

I start to think that Ethereum will work out, but definitely I would not invest in it just yet.

If i would have only 1 BTC to invest then I would do this:

20% NXT (Most innovative cryptocurrency so far)
15% Litecoin (It may be a clone but you cannot doubt the social media support and the active forumers)
10% Dash (not the best anonymous coin but it is easier to market and promote)
10% Monero (best anon coin but harder to market)
10% Unity (SUPERNET looks innovative, decentralized poker and all that good stuff is appealing)
5% Ethereum (after i see the full client come out and waiting until the sellof of the bears finish)
5% Banx (it is a good dividends coin)
5% Bitshares (same as Banx, but I`d not put in the BitUSD, i think USD is about to get devalued in QE4)
5% XCP (similar to NXT but better corporate support)
5% GEMZ (money making & advertising platform phone chat app is very innovative)
5% Storjcoin X (decentralized storage, innovative but it's hard to accomplish so i`d not invest alot in it)
5% HYPER (a gaming coin, gaming is 180b$ industry, so if they can get some gamers to use that and get paid in that it can grow really big)

BUT THIS IS NOT AN INVESTMENT ADVICE, ITS JUST MY OPINION!

forgot shadowcash lol

[RealBitcoin]

forgot shadowcash lol

I`m not sure about that, it looks very shady, and besides that, even the technicals are problematic.

I saw many posts here telling that it's not that safe and anonymous, and there are still exploits there, so i would personally not use it nor invest in it.

And many more negative threads, not dont get me wrong, I didn't researched it deeply, so it could be a good coin, but I just don't feel like investing in it.

[doc12]

IMO best alts are:

NXT (Most advanced crypto plattform)
XMR (Best anancoin)

Wow just wow!

Let me help you a bit because when I look at your altcoin portfolio you are either a fish waiting to be eaten by pump and dump group sharks or an ATM-krill for the whales.
(just joking no offence but let me help you in how to pick an altcoin)

1. You do not want to invest in a coin where the devs are anonymous, 99% of the time it is either a scam or a pump and dump. The only coin to have and you do not know who the dev is that is Bitcoin.
2. Community/Dev must be strong and being able to back up their claims regarding innovation and expanding the ecosystem. If they only promise and do not deliver it is bound to go wrong.
3. The coin must have an value, not just the value on the exchange but in real life and online. You must be able to buy goods with the coin: food, clothes, gifts, gold, silver etc
4. A coin must be really undervalued for you to be interesting. You do not want to buy a coin at it's peak.
5. Focus on a select group of coins, diversity in your portfolio is good but in you case that is a lot of coins.  What you are doing is basicly gambling instead of picking winners.


My altcoin portfolio? (max 5 coins)

1Bitcoin (save haven just like ''gold'')
2Guldencoin
3Digibyte
4Startcoin
5-This place is still open-

I recommend to do good research before picking a coin!

If one is looking for a sleeper then Monero. Monero is being very actively developed as per the Git master https://github.com/monero-project/bitmonero while the official tagged binaries are over eight months old! https://getmonero.org/downloads/

Here is what I suggest:
1) Download and compile the latest source
2) Download the "official" binaries
3) Benchmark 1 vs 2. The RAM needed to run a node with the "official" binaries is around 7 GB vs around 50.5 MB for the latest compiled source, just for starters.

Hahahaha that is very funny, but no, when I put that list together I thought of long term holdings, not weekly pump & dump schemes.

You also have to consider the capitalization of the fund, the more money it has the better established it is, and it also carries a risk of divesting, but an established on has smaller risk of that than a smaller one.

I havent even heard of Guldencoin, with 200k market cap and a long term downtrend it more likely looks a pump & dump scheme, but I can be wrong.
Also the name makes it more funny so its hard to take it seriously.

You must be able to buy goods with the coin: food, clothes, gifts, gold, silver etc

Like i imagine you go into the store and buy some food and the shop owner says "that will be 20 GULDENCOIN please pay", it sounds so funny that its surreal to believe this coin becomes even a local currency, hardly a global one.

Digibyte also sounds funny and i dont see innovation there, just a few small modifications.

STARTCOIN is ok.

I'm not interested in guldencoin as an investment, but I've read that it's popular in the netherlands:

Excellent point. With all open source software the ability to track progress in github prior to a tagged release is really nice.

On a related note I would recommend avoiding all alt coins that are cold source for both security reasons and for the inability to verify claims of the developer.

NEM

One of the developers just went public and he is a neuroscientist and a really smart guy.

I like the  NEM wallet, unfortunately, that's about all there is to say. I fail to see innovation in this coin

  It was a joke but if you have really thought about your portfolio and you have a good strategy go for it.

Regarding Guldencoin, there are a some shops recently that accepted Guldencoin too but are not updated on the list
http://timeline.guldencoin.com/
You can walk in a shop in the Netherlands and get you hair cut, buy a coffee, buy a sub at subways, go to a bar and have a beer, buy clothes with in a shop, eat in a restaurant, etc just check the timeline.
Also you can buy drones, gold, silver, mining equipment etc etc also check the timeline.
The main focus is the Netherlands but eventually they will expand across Europe and further.

What Guldencoin is doing in the Netherlands Digibyte will do to the world in my mindset.

Just buy VNL right now before it's too late dude..
