Top ten AltCoins

[spassbold]

I would pick Gridcoin (GRC), as it is one of the more interesting coins out there. It's idea is brilliant but also easy to understand for people not in crypto before, see for example this thread that was on the frontpage of reddit: https://www.reddit.com/r/Futurology/comments/4b4drk/a_currency_minted_by_doing_science/t1_d16hch5

It 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 be seen for example here (http://www.gridresearchcorp.com/gridcoin/?result&t=CPID_Leaderboard). This process is decentralized among all nodes, there is no central server issuing all coins like it is for example the case with Curecoin. 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.

 The network is secured with Proof of Stake, but there is an additional (much bigger) reward depending on how much research the boinc account associated with the staking node has done.

Setting it all up has been quite complicated in the past, but the pool on pool.gridcoin.co has made alle this easier and already has more than 1100 active miners/researchers (http://pool.gridcoin.co/rankings)

I also has very active development, here is the main forum: https://cryptocointalk.com/forum/464-gridcoin-grc/

litecoin is not that great of an altcoin to be honest, in my opinion ethereum is way better, besides that i really like the dash of all the development

A lot of coins in your poll list won't have a future. I voted for NEM, Nxt (or the successor Ardor), Ethereum (despite the DAO issue), WAVES and Lisk. Monero is also one of my favorites.

[LBX]

bro add xvc and ioc plz

[ja23]

If I can choose one, then it will have to be Nem.

[funsponge]

syscoin is on there but Bitbay isn't?

[Kellor]

So far, most people voted for Ethereum and Monero. It is quite surprising that the ETH is on the number 2 spot.

you should know this already that volumes not always a good point to measure an alt coin to be good or bad maybe some big player comes and manipulates the volume of any coin you could never know.

[souljah1h]

Voted for Vericoin. Verium ICO is almost over. 1 day left. http://www.vericoin.info/ico.html

[nomadsena]

volume is not the only factor i considered. if it was so i can just copy the list from coinmarketcap

Add Vericoin please

I agree with that. Vertcoin is also a good one. It has long history and has good community support. The algorithms changed several times.

[Ethertrader1]

NO AMP with Synereo? GTFO lol

[raphma]

NO AMP with Synereo? GTFO lol

agree. synereo deserves a place too, especially because steem is there.

With Verium ICO ending soon, and the launch of the Verium and Vericoin duality. A two protocol crypto currency and commodity system on the same block chain....I think it will surprise a lot of people

[longorshort]

NO AMP with Synereo? GTFO lol

agree. synereo deserves a place too, especially because steem is there.

AMP is a top 15 coin, deserves a place here.

[Lebubar]

NO AMP with Synereo? GTFO lol

No MAID,
No siacoin (SC)
No storjcoin (SJCX)
....

I voted only for 2: Dash and FCT.
Cheers.
