The Bitcoin network protocol was designed to be extremely flexible. It can be used to create timed transactions, escrow transactions, multi-signature transactions, etc. The current features of the client only hint at what will be possible in the future.

If things go as planned, and Megacoin is the first to properly implement Zerocoin, my bet would be on Megacoin. It's definitely too early to make any predictions right now, however. Without something significant happening, I don't think it's possible to predict a clear-cut #3. NVC, NMC, and FTC have been around for a while and are consistently mined which is why their market cap is as high as it is...but none of them really bring anything significant to the table that makes me think there is a chance they truly go mainstream. The same could be said about LTC and BTC, I suppose, but they are simply so well established that they're cemented at the top for the foreseeable future.
I'm not sold on Primecoin nor NMC, despite their innovation, as said innovation does not bring additional value to the coin itself in my opinion. It's like backing money with dirt -- it's backed by something, sure, but is it really better than nothing? Eh...

Primecoin I believe is the number 3 spot. Especially since its not going to be mined with Asics any time soon.
Successful to me means has long term viability, regardless of what someone defines as its value thru greed, ie market cap, price point etc.. A successful currency is one that becomes accepted across a wide range of industries, and can be used for something other than trading on Cryptsy. I don't even think Litecoin has achieved that yet. But then that's my opinion.
XPM is different from most alt coins, which makes it somewhat unique.

My guess for 3 is PPC (actually I think it will switch places and be #2 with LTC being #3). Primecoin will be up there too, as will Yacoin, and FTC for the top 6. But then again, I could be totally wrong.

Well you can make or lose money on any coin today. CGB has outpaced BTC gains by roughly 75% over the past few weeks. This doesn't mean it's a threat to BTC...but I certainly made more money with it today (literally) than I did BTC. I guess maybe we're now debating the correct interpretation of the initial question; I thought it was pretty clear.

BitShares... it is the only one that actually innovates on Bitcoin and provides new value such as BitUSD and BitGold assets that track the value of USD and Gold with no counter party risk or issuer. Unfortunately, it is still a couple of months from launch... but based upon VC investment already has a market cap in the top 5.

Digitalcoin, and it will supplant Litecoin.
I'd like to see Primecoin succeed (and derivatives, etc), break from the current design of coins attempting to eek value out of energy being spent. It's wasteful and doesn't have any long term merit.

The ridiculous part about Primecoin is that it's built to cripple GPU mining - if somebody launched a similar currency that wasn't restricted it would blow Primecoin away when it comes to advancing prime number theory. Beyond that, dedicated single-purpose machines could leapfrog anything Primecoin has uncovered in a matter of hours. The entire concept is nothing more than a gimmick, in my opinion. The dev team went out of their way to make Primecoin less efficient.

It just turns out their plenty of prime # code available already optimized for CPUs which they used to make the reference miner. Making the GPU miner from scratch is difficult. There is one now actually made by mtrlt but it is inefficient and requires much more optimization. Why do haters gotta hate?

Beyond that, dedicated single-purpose machines could leapfrog anything Primecoin has uncovered in a matter of hours. The entire concept is nothing more than a gimmick, in my opinion. The dev team went out of their way to make Primecoin less efficient. It was not built to be GPU inefficient. It just turns out their plenty of prime # code available already optimized for CPUs which they used to make the reference miner. Making the GPU miner from scratch is difficult. There is one now actually made by mtrlt but it is inefficient and requires much more optimization. Why do haters gotta hate? I'm not hating -- as a currency, I don't have any issues with it. I'm just saying that, in its current form, Primecoin is a pretty inefficient way to discover prime numbers...so while the "prime" aspect of it makes it different...it's really more of a gimmick than anything. I'm not suggesting nobody mine it...but it's not really the dual-purpose knockout punch many would like people to believe. I welcome anything different...but I think the hype has gone a bit far on Primecoin. In my opinion, it's being billed as something more than it truly is.

This coin should be called Cunningham Chain Coin or Bi Twin Coin instead of Primecoin.
It finds chains of prime numbers and helps advance prime number theory and cryptography. Besides, Primecoin such a snazzy name. The ridiculous part about Primecoin is that it's built to cripple GPU mining - if somebody launched a similar currency that wasn't restricted it would blow Primecoin away when it comes to advancing prime number theory.

I think Sunny pulled a rabbit out of a hat with this one myself. One of the key things about his approach is that it is something has has not been worked on much and therefore there is no pre-completed work that someone could figure out how to insert into the program. I wondered early on if his work could be used on other distributed computing projects, but the problem with a lot of them is that so much work has been done that it's hard to establish proof of work. It'd be too easy for someone to just copy already completed work and submit it for instant credit.

It's not very hard to tell, just go to BTC-e and click on each coin pair to see which has the best daily trade volume, do that for a week or two and you have your answer.
If you want to pick the winner in the next tier, then do the same procedure on Cryptsy.

I welcome anything different...but I think the hype has gone a bit far on Primecoin. In my opinion, it's being billed as something more than it truly is. I'll try one last rebuttle. Primecoin miner was never meant to find new prime #s (it theoretically could but highly improbable). It is meant to find cunningham chains and bi-twin chains. Why are these useful? 1. It helps to advance prime number theory 2. Has uses in cryptography *3. Much like Bitcoin has led to the creation of ASICs for SHA256 and more efficient ways to solve SHA256, if primecoin were to become popular, then effort would be put into making hardware optimized for find prime numbers and chains of prime numbers. Creating more efficient circuit designs for numbers research has scientific merit far beyond just finding chains of prime numbers. Primecoin provides a motivation for such research. There may very well be more useful PoWs, just noone has come up with one which meets the dual criteria of being difficult to compute but easy to verify which is required for a bitcoin-like coin.

This is a good method to find out the current flavor of the week, but it is not a good method for finding long term cryptocoin investment opportunities. Use your own brain and do your own research on all these ALT cryptocoins, otherwise you are nothing more than sheeple. To the OP: I can guarantee you every single person that posted ITT has a special interest in the coin they suggested. Do not ask to be spoon fed investment advice, otherwise you will be fed whatever suits the adviser best. This does not mean that their advice is right or wrong, but you need to take it with a grain of salt.

CPUs are meant for more complex calculations, whereas gpus are meant for parallel simple calculations, like pixels or bruteforce. Otherwise a computer would only have a gpu.

I think you might be right. I think the ultimate primecoin miner may be a parallella. http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/adapteva/parallella-a-supercomputer-for-everyone/posts/547314
