Which is your favorite altcoin?

[pilscoop]

Tell me why

[owm123]

Why should we tell you?

[GriffinHeart]

Well, it's hard once a person enters the world of of altcoin to choose a favourite.
Not only that, but your favourite altcoin will be criticized by everybody who's favourite coin is different, anyway, I like ethereum, though I gave up on it when my old CPU burnt out on my linux computer.

My favorite one would be Hyper. It have an active community and developers. It also have a rich history of.. yeah, a year. There is more and more games being developed for Hyper. And you can also buy Steam game from Key4co.in using Hyper.

NXT is the best 2.0 crypto currency framework so far. It is my favorite because of tech, community and the promising features coming up.

I have been doing a lot of coin hopping over the years

Bitcoin
LTC
Dogecoin
Maxcoin
Mintcoin

But once i found Dash (formerly known as Darkcoin) the search was over for me, its a relative young cryptocurrency
that showed a lot of technical progress and in the end delivered all what it promised and more :

* decentralised anonymity (through Darksend mixing)
* fast transactions (through InstantX)
* decentralised budgetting system (anyone can put up a budget proposal for a fee of 5 Dash, the masternode network then vote over that proposal in a totally decentralised way)
* getting rewards from running masternodes (so besides having voting power, masternodes also receive 45% of each mined block for services they provide)

Its dev-team members are all publicly known by real name and the lead-developer of Dash made several public appearences and was awarded
the Proof of Honor award 2014 (http://www.newsbtc.com/2015/01/11/darkcoin-dev-evan-duffield-wins-proof-honor-award/)

Don't believe in any altcoin.. Trust me 

[d5000]

Slimcoin, as in my avatar message

Why? It is the first coin using the Proof of Burn (PoB) consensus mechanism. Why I think PoB is "da future (TM)"? Read the OP of this thread (above all, the "The magic of Proof of Burn" part).

[MicroGuy]

Tell me why

GoldCoin (GLD) - because I'm involved - and everything that I get involved in becomes a tremendous success.

i think that the main question about it can be resolved by that comment, just the coin on with you are involved, why? so simply because you want success, so as i say, "Which is your favorite altcoin?": the one that you are using

Gridcoin (GRC) is in my opintion the best coin to support as supporting it involves supporting sciene and advancing humanity. The best thing about it is that even total crypto-newcomers understand the idea behind it and want to contribute their computing power, see for example https://www.reddit.com/r/homelab/comments/3k059i/run_boinc_on_your_home_lab_offset_electricity/

The mining process consits of running BOINC (https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Berkeley_Open_Infrastructure_for_Network_Computing) research simulations on your computer, for example folding proteins, simulating a brain or searching for aliens.

You get rewarded for this research in a completely decentralized way. If you are interested go to gridcoin.us or visit our IRC: https://kiwiirc.com/client/irc.freenode.net:6667/#gridcoin

Lyrabar and Unitus, because they can both be mined with CPUs.  They can also be mined with GPUs, but CPUs still earn coins.  So even if all your rigs are mining other things and you don't want to stop mining your current coins, you have some available CPUs that can mine in addition to what you're already mining. 

With Lyrabar, it uses the Lyra2RE algo which is designed to keep mining decentralized.  A $100 video card like a GTX 750ti can easily compete with a $600 GTX 980, and a normal CPU gets less but still gets a consistent income from a pool.  And Lyrabar has a maximum supply of under 2 million coins, so even a few coins a day might eventually be worth a lot.

With Unitus, it uses 5 algos.  I've been CPU mining with Yescrypt - an average CPU only using 3 threads still gets more hash than a GPU, and you can merge-mine it too.  Or, you can use a GPU, you can mine Blake 256,  merge-mine Qubit with Myriad, merge-mine CANN on X11, or merge mine it on Skein and profit-switch between Myriad and Digibyte.  So Unitus is great for a lot of reasons, for a lot of people.

[CoinThug]

Tell me why

DogeCoin for sure.

[Sir_lagsalot]

Tell me why

Dashcoin. For all the reasons out there Even the name sounds cool!

My favorite altcoins are ethereum, which features smart contracts, and  Bitshares, which bases on great platform.

[Marec4]

Choosing the right coin to invest depends on your objective. If you want small risk, choose established altcoin. If youre willing to risk more with invested money, choose something that has potential to grow big, but current price is relatively low.

I've invested in CasinoCoin. Lot of developments in works and huge potential.

You mean IF ethereum turns out to be legit AND they manage to get out of totally bugged pre-alpha status they MIGHT have smart contracts one day
btw, there is a BLK-based software that can do smart contracts for more than a year already, not long ago another improved version has been released.

[HeroCat]

I like Doge   Because it is popular crypto and transfer time is very fast   Dash is also good
