Noteable altcoins?

[MRKLYE]

I am looking for noteable altcoins to look into what other implementation of software there is out there. Among the thousands of altcoins, I was hoping at least a few would stand out and have some interesting implementations code wise that could be used as future sidechain concepts.

I know of Ethereum, which is however not Bitcoin code based, which wont fit my need. I am also familiar with Namecoin, which is the direction I am looking for other reimplementations at. Please dont spam me with a copy/paste coin as I am not here to invest, but just curious about the technicalities of alt-codes.

Side chain Altcoin.. Can be claimed from BTC without spending it.

These days i am into Monero again. It's like old times but better.
Monero is still a top 20 coin and with upcoming development they will

P.S. ETH and Dogecoindark are also wise to invest in.

LOL.  Ethereum and Dogecoindark shouldn't be in one sentence.  You just had to sneak Dogecoindark in there with Ethereum to make it look legit...  You just had to...

So what is not legit about DOGED?

Notable and sidechain worthy are not the same, some notable firsts,

Namecoin - the first appcoin, first altcoin ever
Tenebrix - the first altcoin to use scrypt
Ixcoin  - first premine
Freicoin - first to use demurraging
Litecoin - largest altcoin
Peercoin - first proof of stake
Megacoin - new difficulty algo
Anoncoin - the first privacycoin
Quark - the first chained algo coin
Auroracoin - the first country coin
Bytecoin - first cryptonote coin
Huntercoin - first gamified coin
Bitshares - first tiered membership coin
Dash - first with instant transactions
Etherium - first turing complete

Very good overview.

Vanillacoin

Scaling: Multitier network, 100 on-chain TPS and 15k off-cain TPS with ZeroTime.

Instant: ZeroTime gives decentralized zero-conf transactions.

Node Incentives: Rewards nodes (SuperPeers) for holding VNL.

ChainBlender [WIP]: upcoming anonimity features, like mixing (and probably messaging).

Modern codebase with a different communication protocol.

Whitepapers: https://github.com/john-connor/papers/

UNO could be put on enterAbyss's list Notable and sidechain worthy are not the same, some notable firsts LIST.
First to mine 80% on an alt next work, then fork to Merge Mining on the big bad Hash network of bitcoin ... ie ... solid and fair distro then flip to solid security.  And now is a trade pair with null inflation, second if you include XRP as the first of that type.

P.S. ETHlightclone and BBQ are wise to invest in.

I realize this is a bitcoin forum, but just wanted to say thank you for making the time to post something like this. I get tired of all the people who come to comment on these threads just to say altcoin sucks and bitcoin is better. Found a few more coins I want to learn about

I second that. Thank you for this list and the brief but informative descriptions next to coin.  A lot of interesting coins out there.  I like litecoin, ehterium, doge, dash....i like them all.

Credits has very active developers. It is first proof of deposit coin and works well. But it is never hypered.

[spassbold]

I would pick Gridcoin (GRC), as it is one of the more interesting coins out there.

Gridcoin (GRC) replaces mining with doing research for scientific projects, for example to cure Ebola (http://www.worldcommunitygrid.org/research/oet1/overview.do), fold proteins (https://boinc.bakerlab.org/) or find aliens (http://setiathome.ssl.berkeley.edu/).

From a user's point of view, he simply has to run simulations from the different projects using the BOINC software (http://boinc.berkeley.edu/). Then the network comes to a consensus, who has contributed how much computing power to BOINC, which can bee seen for example here (http://www.gridresearchcorp.com/gridcoin/?result&t=CPID_Leaderboard). In some blocks this consenus is saved in the blockchain and the reward one gets when staking a block is proportional to how much research was recently done for BOINC by this researcher.

I also has very active development, here is the main forum: https://cryptocointalk.com/forum/464-gridcoin-grc/
More information and tutorial to set it up here: www.gridcoin.us

I take it back.  It is totally legit.  Everyone please invest in dogecoindark.  You'll love it.

Do not know much about coding, but check NETcoin.

It is a POW/POS coin, I have tried many POS coins, and NET is the only one that I have found that stakes easily (just hours away after putting some coins in wallet), rewarding an amount that is an annual % of the coins held. Futhermore, the more coins the higher the % you stake (in a sliding scale). It is literally that having interest on your coins every X hours, max velocity being 1 every 6 hours.

The coin has been going for 2 years now and is quite alive.

[MomoCoin]

Every decent coin has its own angle and little bit of innovation. I love reading the latest bits of tech. Does anyone know if there is  blockchain tech that could embed data (perhaps readings from a sensor) for transmission around the network?  Use case would allow user to monitor and explore the chain to extract values from any time.

Also i remember xst being a coin of interest at one point and whatever nhz /nxt were going for.

Only Doge currently have more or less future from altcoins, because many sites are using it. Regarding Dash - it is the question - I am also thinking about Dash currently.

Is that like the difference between a runny shit and a solid shit? I figured dogecoindark was like dogecoin after taking some pepto and you get those dark green shits.

[bitfranky]

I think Doge will be far more less valuable in the future and many different sites will discontinue using it.
