YES! We need another chinese HYPE Coin that rises as fast as it will crash.

So far the only coin that meets my criteria is DGC, digital coin.

I don't see why the dev team is transparent and where the innovation is with DGC.

You clearly don't follow the Litecoin development. I think Litecoin has the most competent and professional dev of all altcoins.
Most scryptaltcoin devs haven't proved that they are able to continue without Litecoin.

Not Kimoto (The Megacoin Developer)

Yes be selective of course. You have to decide into what you will put your money. But if you can spend some of your money into that i think it is worth of it. Cause digital currency is future of our world.

Yes. I agree.  

Invest in the coins you support and support the coins in which you invest. Patience, effort, and fortitude combine to become an unstoppable force! Bitcoin opened the door now it's the altcoins turn to tear down the walls.

Your creative marketing always gives me a chuckle and that is why i have a pocket full of gld.

Litecoin devs are great! But they dont work alone.

Litecoin and Peercoin, this has been discussed to death.

Litecoin and Peercoin, this has been discussed to death.

They are ahead of the game by quite a margin, though there seems to be quite a few now entering the 1-2 million dollar cap range, CGB and WDC.

[Tisko]

Why not Primecoin?

[Prabhjot Lalli]

What do you think about Emunie? Presale is starting tomorrow right? Should I invest like 500? And maybe 500 or 1000 later if they're going up?

Or should I rather go with CGB?

Anyone?

[xephireusMMX]

Why not Primecoin?

Prime coin is good. I mined some with my CPUs and the coin is at least usefull.

To answer the question of the OP, would depend on what your criteria is for
"best" alt coin. (after btc, ltc)

For myself, as a long term investor, I am looking for alt coins that have the following;
- good mining community support
- an active and transparent development team
- listed in top 20 in market cap evaluafion
- has not been pre mined or insta mined
- brings some innovative features
- is not trying to be just another pump and dump coin

So far the only coin that meets my criteria is DGC, digital coin.

- Not yet convinced by pos, proof of stake coins. PPC and others.
- Leery of coins that have got on exchanges through bribery, like novacoin
- Especially leery of all coins that have huge premines and instamines,
(the majority of alt coins, unfortunately)
- Why a corrupt and inept coin like FTC is still listed on exchanges like btc-e is a testament to
how  dubious those exchanges really are.

My 2 virtual cents...

Some good advice here.

digitalcoin (DCG) - your checking account with some interest over time. digitalcoin could become very spendable in the near future.

CryptoGenicBullion (CGB) - your high-interest savings account or even your very own bank vault.

These are two very different coins with strong and growing community support. Hedging both of these coins now is unlikely to be a bad decision in a year to two years time. However, there are other good choices and you should spread your portfolio.

Personally, I would advise people to avoid goldcoin. I've considered its reward structure and future position in the market place and its hopeless. Its a real shame that such a good name for a coin has been adopted by this one. http://cryptolife.net/goldcoin-the-scam-that-keeps-on-giving/

Peercoin, Primecoin, Litecoin and Securecoin are all good coins.

eMunie is going to be big.

I'd be more of a fan of Worldcoin, but I just prefer digitalcoin.

Oh, and don't overlook Anoncoin !

Wow, another person who thinks Goldcoin is dodgy 

Glad to know I'm not the only one.

When I tried asking them questions about that article on their thread, they deleted my post!

Well that's the thing with GLD, even with it's bad rap still holding a good market cap. with no foundation, many exchanges or anything crazy just pure inertia to the name gold coin. some how manage to still relevant.

Hmmm.. I think GLD will be trampled by the real contenders soon. Consumers will want something innovative.

Right now it's speculators keeping GLD price high, hoping for consumer adoption in the near future.

Well. I guess our Android app, paper wallet, and innovative 51% attack defense is chopped liver.

An Android app will not make or break a coin. 

Nor will a paper wallet.




51% defense sounds nice, but don't other coins have that too? Anyone else care to weigh in?

Consumers don't want innovation (not that gld aint working on that part), only a small niche crowd of crypto nerds wants innovation.

Even cryptonerds need to decide which coins they will support and which they will shun. 

Innovation like faster payments, will make an alt-coin usable at a place like McDonalds.

That kind of innovation is needed.
