Which Alt Coin you like best

[mnyonpa]

Could you clarify what Bitcoin issues does PPC solve? I do not fully understand how PPC is so different from other Altcoins.

As far as I understand, PoS means that in order to make a 51% attack, an attacker should not only possess 51% of the mining power but also have the 51% minting stakes power, which is much harder to accumulate because one has to hold the most of coins for as long as the network exists, which removes the requirement of keeping a large distributed mining network, making PPC very energy efficient in the long run.

FTC, next would be DGC.

[atasmrk]

LTC.

I want to say XPM because it is the first cryptocurrency to calculate something moderately useful when it is mined. I just want people to confirm the security of the coin and then I will say that it's the best alt coin hands down.

Otherwise it would have to be LTC. The rest don't show any true innovation.

[El Cabron]

LTC, because it is the oldest

not the oldest, either beercoin or namecoin is the oldest, but LTC is never the less, the best

Namecoin also has a nice idea underneath, but unfortunately does not seem to develop that actively.

[CoinOracle]

Primecoin, because unlike Bitcoin or Litecoin, Primecoin doesn't seem to have any limit in the amount that it is going to be minted (or circulated ... ... may be) in the near future. Hence allowing more end-users to participate in using XPM.

XPM currently may not be as popular as its predecessors Btc / Ltc, but it has plenty of potential.

I like Namecoin - really cool idea.

[man007]

For me LTC is the one which has a very good future. But FTC is very good too...

[manders]

LTC

And no, I won't be trading my LTC for BTC (unless it's for a bitchin profit)

[ebacherville]

Digitalcoin and fastcoin...  DIgitalcoin faster and great name for mass adoption...  Fastcoin for its fast conformation times.. closest usable thing compaired to credit card conformations..  that is a big plus point to every having a crypto be adopted and replacing traditional credit card transactions.

It's really come back to life as of late.

Yep, it turns out I was a bit outdated on the info. There is even a GUI client now. I am really happy that such a great idea does not fade away.

I believe we should start a movement to support old cool coins and ignore new crappy ones.

I think that it goes without saying that Litecoin has some of the greatest benefits of any cryptocurrency, even that of bitcoin.

While bitcoin works like a gold system with an ever increasing value, the inflating nature of liteocin is awesome.

I certainly hope that litecoin will become just as ubiquitous if not moreso than bitcoin in the future, so that we can have a stable and standard internet currency

Granted bitcoin has its merits as well, it feels like more for a cash grab when you look at it holistically.

When mt.gox starts trading them, I will certainly be happy but I am particularly worried that it will take a long time to restabilize.

It would also be particularly convenient for LTC to stick at around 2 USD because it could become quite a reasonable and ubiquitous resource in ecommerce.

Namecoin is also an interesting prospect, but unfortunately it will probably never gain the amount of ground litecoin has gained.

With all that said and done, I would personally prefer litecoin>bitcoin>namecoin. I have high hopes for LTC in the future!

Here's to the future of cryptocurrency.

Does not Litecoin share the same deflationary model as Bitcoin? As far as I know the difference is only in number of total coins which is meaningless because of scaling, the faster block generation time which according to different sources makes it more vulnerable to double-spend attacks or more secure, and scrypt that protects against ASICs. Which is again meaningless because the original idea was to let anyone mine on their CPUs and CPU mining is no longer viable. So, could please anyone explain to me the real benefits of Litecoin? I can see none other than it at least has some economy and acceptance.

LTC !

[spectre1989]

I actually really like FTC. Not just because it is scrypt-based, but I worry about the supply of BTC and even LTC if they were (and I know it's a pipe dream) adopted as the dominant global currency. With a total supply of FTC ~336m, and smallest unit at 0.00000001, that means the total units are ~33600000000000000. Divide that between 7b people and that's about 4800000 per person. That should be a pretty good level of granularity that we can still express small amounts of money even if everyone in the world was using it as their primary currency.

[CryptoCoinShops]

Litecoin and Feathercoin are my fav

[mnyonpa]

That should be a pretty good level of granularity that we can still express small amounts of money even if everyone in the world was using it as their primary currency.

As if Bitcoin weren’t granular enough.
Even if Bitcoin price reaches $10000 with current granularity (which can be easily adjusted if the needs arise) one can deal with prices up to 0.01 cents. Which is not so useful anyway.

XPM is interesting but damn hard to mine...
