Which altcoins destined to rise?

How about Datacoin?

And what's the deal with Quarkcoin?  It's fast and has CPU mining?

Mastercoin (MSC), the best of the lot, but not really an 'altcoin.' It's a protocol layer on top of the bitcoin network.

Doubtful---blockchain growth of up to 513 GB per year.

It seems to be a slow and expensive means of accomplishing something that is currently cheap and quick.

It has not held up to basic scrutiny:

are you kidding? MSC is still in development; the criticism is premature. Issues were with the explorers, not protocol. The guy that wrote that comment is developing an alternative to MSC, but doesn't have the funds MSC has -- about $5 million. Developers are being hired; wallets and distributed exchange will come out soon.

Another with good potential. I'll be watching closely.

Can it be purchased like normal altcoins?  If so, on which exchange?

I don't understand the draw here.  Where is the potential?

Datacoin is underpriced right now. Only 3 weeks old and it doesnt even have a pool yet so you can solo mine
