Which Alt-Coin should LegitCoinage Review?

[solracx]

LegitCoinage (www.legitcoinage.com) would like to review coins that have a legitimate chance of long term success.

I have selected a few of these coins and would like a vote at to which to evaluate first.

[Praxis]

Please add WorldCoin to the list.

[mco65]

There is only 1 legit (alt) coin to begin with..
nothing hard about that..

[billionaire]

I think a direct comparison/review of DGC vs WDC would be a good read.

[Joe_Bauers]

YACoin.

I voted Other, for MegaCoin. I know it is new, but this is a great coin. is far less buggy than the others. However, i will say that Digital Coin is of comparable value in my opinion. My favorite alts are: GLD, MEG, and DGC

[solracx]

Please add WorldCoin to the list.

WDC?  Convince me that it has a chance to be legit.

[solracx]

YACoin.

YACoin?  Convince me that it has a chance to be legit.

YACoin?  Convince me that it has a chance to be legit.

Some stuff:

• No risk of "doing a FTC" because it retargets every block and it won't compete for CPU resources with any other existing coin
• There's going to be always academic interest in observing the effects of the N factor changes over the next months and years
• The scrypt N factor hardening makes it the only coin you'd want to be holding if something went wrong with coins that can be mined by typical ASICs/FPGAs (read: all other coins)
• Many early adopters are highly computer literate types due to launch seeming a joke coin for anyone that didn't understand the features and linux clients being better optimized at first
• The original developer did a reasonablely skilled job and got out of the way. IMO many new alts get devalued when the not so reasonablely skilled devs open their mouths to try and keep propping their own coin.
• It's value has behaved more like a typical IPO than typical pump and dumps. After day three on Bter it has ranged between 0.0006 and 0.0003 -- currently 0.0004
• It has a 5% Point of Stake (highest apart from NVC's currently variable PoS) which should help keeping mining costs under control.

If LegitCoinage has to do a poll on which coin to review then LegitCoinage is not to legit, is it?

excellent explanation. you seem to have did your homework. would you care to review Megacoin. it seems really stable, but im not sure what to make of it.

Poll has been reset to add YacCoin to the list.   Elacoin removed for lack of votes.

I vote for DGC because I simply love it.

[bitdwarf]

would you care to review Megacoin

It's not that interesting, really. I guess it may not need a hard fork to fix the diff like FTC had, but that's about all I can think about it.

If LegitCoinage has to do a poll on which coin to review then LegitCoinage is not to legit, is it?

Running a poll makes it more legit.

huff! classic case of bias. i like YACs, they hold their value well. but it appears that Megacoin is going to revolutionize cryptocurrencies. I spied on a conversation about it yesterday in IRC

[Kruncha]

I won't vote until worldcoin is listed

Just check out the new community forming around it here http://worldcoinforum.org/

Lot's happening in the worldcoin world.
