out of all the alternate cryptocurrencies, litecoin has proven its worth as a 2nd runner to bitcoin, but of the other ones... i think ppc might be the only legit one. ixc is a premined scam coin with a bad reputation, terracoin can't do spellchecks or hire an american to edit all their bad grammar. namecoin might be worth something I've got a few of those... but ppc.
the name sucks, but the concept behind it seems to be legitimately pretty solid. at least as an experiment on the side.
and its still way early. its like pretty much brand new and its value has increased

I messaged the guys over at btc-e asking why they don't trade ppc, told them I was tired of transferring my funds out of btc-e to go to vircurex. and that I thought many people would trade the ppcoins, and asked them why they didn't add them.
their response was this
