Most Promising Altcoins for 2014

[traderman]

Linux client is now ready for Gridcoin. Ripple is premined and centralized. Not good.

Let me know of any other coin that has a mining module like Gridcoin has? This is what true innovation and development is all about.

Boinc Processing for Team Gridcoin! This Graph will only keep going up and up!!!

I am doing something similar with RippleLabs and BOINC.  You just have to install BOINC on your PC, and join Ripplelabs Team WorldCommunityGrid.org - and RippleLabs gives you Ripples in exchange for your CPU time.  I average about the equivalent of 0.25 LTC per week with a computer that I solely use to mine Scrypt coins with GPUs (
(CPU is almost never used when you mine with GPUs).  Those results are with a max of 50% CPU power going to BOINC.   Not much, but I have to keep the PC on anyways - why not make an extra $1 per day with it, to help pay for the electric bill, while helping a good cause?

EDIT: The only problem that I can see with Gridcoin at the moment; no support for Mac or Linux.     and all my mining rigs are Linux.

Decided that Worldcoin just doesnt 'feel' right.

I think its the blue-green earth face on the home page.

So Ive sold all my Worldcoin.

100% of my cryptocurrency investment is now split between Peercoin, Franko and Securecoin.

And Ill probabaly sell Securecoin around $1.50 or so to get more PPC and FRK.

The most promising coin of 2014 so far is probably Vertcoin.  It's one of the few altcoins that has any purpose for existing at all.  ASIC use causes centralization of mining power, which is bad for any PoW coin. Once ASIC starts to take over Litecoin, the market price should begin to reflect the benefits VTC provides over all the clone coins and probably overthrow LTC itself.

ASIC problems, and centralization of mining power, are compounded even higher once you factor in the shady dealings of all the ASIC companies that either operate flat out scams, or mine with the cards until they become unprofitable before shipping them to you.  Eventually, there might come a point where not a single ASIC manufacturer will sell profitable chips, and only sell last gen equipment to the public.  Only a small number of corporations or IT companies might be able to mine, while everyone else mines at a loss.  The currency will not be decentralized at all, and one single entity, corporation, or govt could probably bring the whole thing down if they wanted to.

The ASIC companies create a large gatekeeper to entry and have the capability to act as financial terrorists (TM).  CPU coins are controlled entirely by botnets, but even those might be a better option to keep PoW mining distributed than ASIC in the future due to lower barrier of entry.

You should probably look at Quark. It will be the better option for you.

Betacoin LOLZ

[ferall]

When Kitteh was 0.0000001  where could you buy it?

[trackpantsboner]

Buyers soaking up all Securecoin put up for sale on Cryptsy

[reRaise]

Quark had the most rise in % in the last 24h

[trackpantsboner]

Ditto Franko and Peercoin

[trackpantsboner]

Not according to Coinmarketcap... think Bitgem and Franko and a few others have outdone Quark

Yes your right  I was looking at top 20

[kwikacz]

[CON] Coino is getting bigger and is really fast. If it will be added to Cryptsy i see a bright future for it

[bitcoin lover]

I think leafcoin has a good chance of being a big thing in 2014

You should not miss Sexcoin (SXC). It has very high potential of becoming one of the most successful coins.
1. The first three letters are top most searched word in the internet. This is the most important fact above all.
2. It is also targeting the largest industry in the internet. The market size is much larger than the total cap of BTC. If it becomes used by the off-line industries, the price would become unimaginable.
3. Do you want to use your credit card to these industries? If no, then go for sxc.
4. Soon you will see the webcam feature integrated to the wallet. Go to the official forum and see the activities for yourselves. www.sexcoinforum.org
