Most promising alt-coin other than Bitcoin

[JohnSy]

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! 

 

Wow that's great

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.

If it's fair to say that people are voting with their hashing power, the Alts with the most hashing currently are:

DGC, WDC, TRC, CNC, in that order (using even MHash-to-GHash conversion for TRC, so it may be a bit out of place).  
I have to admit, I was surprised to see 200 MHash still on CNC, but more than a few someones are still mining it.

EDIT:  I misread the title of this post and thought it initially was asking for alternatives to both BTC & LTC.  LTC should be at the beginning of the list above.

WLD, DGC and MNC

I feel like the majority says litecoin yet the price has been falling steadily for the past few weeks.

Really makes you wonder, this whole game is a speculator's game.

Litecoin is historically more stable than most other Litecoins.

However, it rises and falls with Bitcoin and Bitcoin has been down the past few weeks.

It'll bounce back- I think now is a good time to buy (which I am), the price won't be this low for long.

Also.. this is my +1 for Litecoin.

A poll is bad if it doesn't cover all options. You will not get statistic relevant data from this poll.

So yes, poll fail

 By default it is NVC at the time of the poll - because Nova is the next highest price , and thus the next most promising to pay you more if you are intending to mine and sell or hold , as of this poll -

So unless you are planning on eating Cryptocurrency - it is by definition at this time, the "most promising" -

LTC is at $2 that is a huge % drop - i think it will find support , but its a big hit -

Say what? Since when is higher price of a currency an indicator of its potential?

since everyone that is bidding the coin up in value say it is!!!

Clearly namecoin, as that's the only one which actually introduces (IMHO) something really useful and new.  (Not talking about just changing some parameters like the block rate or the hashing algorithm).

Since when ? not sure exactly , I'll take a shot at it but , 1256 B.C.  since then .

Don't quote me but , it could have been before that .

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.

Following coins are promising because they do something different than Bitcoin:

- PPCoin (or another PoS derivative)
- Namecoin
- perhaps eMunie (if it launches and survives)
- perhaps Freicoin, could be the first one with coloured coin support
- Litecoin could survive a bit more than most other altcoins but I'm not totally convinced.
