Mintcoins are on sale right now since Poloniex is delisting them for no reason. They are the cheapest price they've been in a long time and are traded on several other exchanges too. MINT gives a good POS minting reward but not too low or too high, fair parameters, and has been around for years. Good strong community. Also a rate halving is coming up in about 5 month, in December. The minting rate will halve from 10% to 5%. Less coin supply increase should help be price positive too.
