So I know my own opinion as to the "most promising" alt coin other than Bitcoin, but I'm curious what the popular opinion is for this topic. I will wait until 50 or so votes before saying which one I believe is the "most promising" and why, so that I can at least see what the unbiased vote result is. I will also announce the "in progress" vote count as I write my viewpoint. Of course, anybody may post in this thread at any time to try and influence the vote count!  |

LTC , as well as PhenixCoin, which is not listed there, PXC has the best most active developers behind their coin right now. Their website, Phenixst.com (free escrow site) Casino, their own exchange coming out soon, PXC was the only coin that successfully got held back off cryptsy to give it more time to grow. Some people will bash PXC, they just havent studied enough to find whats really important behind a new coin. |

You're missing two of the three altcoins with the highest network hashrates, DGC and WDC...

You're certainly entitled to your own opinion, as I am my own. However, what exactly constitutes a "dead coin" to you? Developer's jumping ship? A total drop off of hash rate that leaves transactions unconfirmed? I'm genuinely curious here. |

"Most promising alt-con" needs to be defined a little more.
Does it mean, the alt-coin most likely to succeed? Litecoin is inevitably going to top that chart, as it's well established.
Or should we be voting for the coin we would like to succeed because it's the most interesting (technically or otherwise)?

The most promising coin is whatever coin the person who responds has most of.

No doubt. Some of these coins mentioned are "dying" coins that are not supported by active mining any longer, or are not traded on the exchanges yet (Pheonix coin). Feel free to post a more comprehensive poll if you really think there is a chance that those coins would skew the results  Poll results are now showing Litecoin by a landslide. The others are not really distinguishable in results: Ripple (no 2 by a couple votes). Which coin would I like to succeed? PPCoin. I know there are a lot of LiteCoin fans, but I love PPCoin for its novel approaches in several respects - mining, max number of coins, and built-in inflation. I think it truly has the capability to proceed as a legitimate (and STABLE) currency. Which coin do I think will succeed? Ripple. Big money will win the day, but not if these guys can't make it truly distributed. They've got to pay attention to the criticisms placed on their current architecture and create something smooth and workable. If they can do that, it will succeed definitely. Keep voting, unwashed masses! |

Yacoin in 3rd place is interesting. Is that because people think it has a future, or because it is technically interesting?

Well, the way I see it is this: 1. Bitcoin is and Bitcoin will be. 2. Alternative to Bitcoin has to be as advanced as possible, implementing and experimenting with things Bitcoin is just to big to mess with. 3. Litecoin and many other altcoins are outdated. Difficulty retargeting once per day / hour / week and 2.5+ minutes block time are so 2012. Yacoin does look good. The best of everything preceding it. It just needs to solve the anonymity problem. |
