UNO
Why?
1. UNO is Bitcoin code, so you are doing code work that improves both at the same time. 2. ASIC tech is the most certain and advanced, so the task now is to improve the merge mining side, that could usher 1000s of side projects to join in. Creating a very decentralized and secure network that acts very much like the "Crypto 2.0 or 3.0" projects.

There could be some many options,
I would add Ethereum,Lisk at least in the poll.
They have a great following and are very promising.
And good business people behind it, that are actually working hard for the coin.

I would say Bitcoin or Blackcoin.
Blackcoin because it's one of the most efficient POS altcoin.

Sia had a 30 million coin premine. There are currently 10 billion coins in circulation, definitely just a drop in the bucket. I regret doing that premine, should have just dropped $600 during the first 5 days of trading, would have had the same effect.

BitShares is quite interesting to work for as you can be paid by the blockchain directly. Two ways currently: -Worker Proposal. Submit a scope of work proposal with required compensation which shareholders can vote on. If approved, you are automatically paid the blockchain for your work. This provides a checks and balance system. If you are showing progress shareholders will continue to vote for you, if no progress, deadbeat workers are voted out. -Fee Backed Asset. Stealth was the first fee backed asset. An end user paid 45k FiAT to Cryptonomex (Bytemaster and team) to implement both the code and GUI. In return when a stealth transfer is used part of the transfer fee goes to holders of the Stealth FBA. The end user who funded stealth can hold the complete asset themselves or sell them on BitShares internal exchange.

Monero.
Because? ... Lisk ...
Why does Lisk not have a CoinMarketCap page? Monero because it is the best privacy oriented coin with the fairest launch that still has a lot of features in the works, such as i2p integration, pruning, confidential ring signature txs, and more. Lisk is a fork of Crypti that is about to launch an ICO. It's pretty scammy IMO, Crypti had an ICO, now same devs are forking it and running another ICO, wtf?

these LISK guys can't even be called devs. more like promoters and graphic desigers than serious coders.

For more information on Monero. Here are some starting points https://getmonero.org/homehttps://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=583449.0https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=753252.0https://www.reddit.com/r/moneroFor starters: 1) Coin development is funded entirely by donations of time and / or funds. There is no premine etc. Coins are only obtained via Proof of Work mining. This avoids many regulatory issues with agencies such as FinCEN in the United States. 2) Privacy and fungibility via ring signatures, (Cryptonote code base). Current. Ring Signatures with Confidential Transactions (Ring CT) in the future. 3) Adaptive blocksize limits combined with a tail emission address the blocksize scaling issue in Bitcoin. This is by far the highest capitalization Proof of Work coin that does not have the blocksize scaling issue, that is currently tearing the Bitcoin community apart. 4) A strong and very active development team that has over close two years made very significant advances over the original Cryptonote code base. Monero is currently listed 5th over all for developer in https://www.coingecko.com/en?sort_by=developer_score5) A strong and active research arm that is actively addressing security and technical issues. https://lab.getmonero.org/6) A clear set of design and development goals showing clear and measurable progress https://getmonero.org/design-goals/7) A forum funding system (totally voluntary) with a proven track record of funding projects. https://forum.getmonero.org/9/work-in-progressI can continue but the above should provide a prospective developer with the tools to start her research. When getting involved with a project such as Monero the one thing I would recommend is to do your own research first.

They found an elegant way to avoid premine & ICO : this is a two coin mecanism : siacoin and siafunds. The siafunds has been sold to initial investors : they give right to have a percentage of the payment in siacoin of the storage contracts. The siacoin are being produced by POW and are the money for the storage renting mecanism.
The one offering storage propose renting at some price on the network, the one searching for storage choose the best offer for his needs and pay in siacoin for a certain time. A small fee of the renting payment goes to the siafunds holders.
The storage mecanism is in ealy beta stage.

Are there more or less questions about Bitcoin's origin? What a load of shit. Also, putting Blackcoin on there, a clone coin that had a 1 week PoW phase so dev could instamine the shit out of it then switch over to PoS - sounds really "ethical".

You disqualify Monero on the grounds that it was forked from Bytecoin / Cryptonote, yet you do not disqualify Litecoin on the grounds it was forked from Tenebrix? Disqualifying premined / ninjamined coins is admirable, selectively disqualifying coins that are forked from premined / ninjamined coins to remove the premine / ninjamine is not. Like I said: Please do your research.

I don't want this to sound too much like a Monero circle jerk, but I think devs such as your self would appreciate what monero is trying to do. Here's a very recent video that Bitcoin Uncensored did and has Fluffypony (one of the core devs of Monero) as a guest, which starts at 6:00 and ends at 32:00. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PKd7F-10lxM&feature=youtu.be&t=6mHopefully this will give you a better insight of how people who work with Monero think... and hopefully you can see that it's a pretty humble group of people who primarily are in it for the research in cryptonote technology. Also, on the getmonero forum page, there is a section there that people post ideas that they think would possibly help Monero... whether it's in the actual code of Monero itself, or other projects that need to be done to help the Monero economy. These ideas will be talked about on there and if people deem it a good idea, the community and dev will work out some sort of price (in XMR) which the community will pay the dev to do. So if you have some knowledge in building cool apps or other things that will enhance the economy of Monero, then there is a little bit of extra incentive for you. But seriously, if you don't want to work on it because maybe you just don't like the way cryptonotes are, or whatever the reason maybe... don't feel like you have to include us in your decision making.
