Which altcoins are most attractive to people not in crypto before?

[alyssa85]

May be Doge, because many sites are using it and Doge have fast transaction times too - only some minutes. 

I would go with Doge too. It has a very friendly community - people new to crypto need a lot of hand-holding and that community is great for that.

Gridcoin launched before curecoin!

Grid coin just copied cure coin really. Cure coin was okay but they were just very slow to improve upon the way it worked. However lately it has started developing again.

Any alt coin that becomes very profitable in a BIG way will attract people not in crypto. If people hear they can make $ they will be attracted.

Some just love the idea like you say.

Is this true ??

I'm certain curecoin came first?

Let me check it out.

I heard about curecoin first maybe they announced first but took time to get it off the ground.

Interesting though since I though cure coin came way before.

Both are good.

Doesn't curecoin use SHA256? That's massively wasteful compared to Proof of Stake. It'd be cool if folding@home was ported to BOINC, then we could reward folding@home computation - not out of the realm of possibilities.

WELLLLLL - As I understand it there was a time, way back in the mists of crunching history when Folding@Home and BOINC nearly merged, but something didnt 'work out' and the two camps went their own directions... its just what I remember reading on a forum many years ago, perhaps enough time has passed.

my guess is Ethereum
even if you're a complete stranger to cryptos you must've heard of it on, technically, any tech news outlet you've been to this past few months!

my 2nd guess would be doge and ltc because once you arrive at cryptos the first things you're going to hear are btc ltc and doge!

i've heard of gridcoin just this past few days (yes i am that uninformed!)
but the idea of allocating computing power to advance science is so appealing to me i might even consider donating some incase the coin fails to deliver!!

Mine.

Definitely BIGUP!

BigUp Life is Worldwide with new people getting involved every day. BiGUp was designed for long-term BIGness as well as being appealing to new users who may be new to crypto altogether!

i think none of them
because people not in crypto ever before will most probably never hear about any of the altcoins. and if they want to choose they are going to choose the biggest, and oldest technology not just anything with small market that was created new.

I tend to agree with this right here.  Most people have no clue what bitcoin really is, much less that there are hundreds of these other coins trying to gain their share of the market.  And even if they knew about the altcoins, making an informed decision as to which would be worth owning...yeah, no.  Not happening.  For lay people, it's bitcoin or nothing.

I found about Gridcoin first, then had to learn about Bitcoin. Since Bitcoin is the default conversion coin on exchanges. After that I got into Diamondcoin, Peercoin, Unobtanium, Namecoin and Dogecoin. In that order :-)
