[ANALYSIS] Altcoin Investing

[ltcifc]

Infinitecoin deserves much better score.

I'm continuing to watch it closely to see the devs clear up the security problem.

Many IFC projects going on at the moment. Join the official Infinitecoin forum if you haven't already

I really wonder why i read this, there is nothing interesting in there and i feel like i lost my time :
it is just advertizing for your MemoryCrap

It seems that you don't really keep a pace with the market. In near future only second generation coins will mean something and all these you mentioned above will be undeveloped and retarded. Look closely at counterparty [XCP], ethereum, mastercoin [msc] and those that don't exist yet: zerocoin, mc2

edit: ahh i forgot to mention NXT and its clones: NEM, NEX etc..

[Zzzack]

I liked the addition to your post! I was reading about CGB earlier and thought it looked like a solid medium-term investment.

[MisO69]

All 3 factors are part of the technical aspect, the other half is the moral, fairness issues, which is very important to the user community of any viable currency.

Premining is very serious issue in the altcoin world. Bad handling of this will cast a shadow on the currency forever.

Litecoin earns 10/10 in that category IMO.

Agree and Memory coin holds a 0/10 in that category. You just don't import an abandoned block chain into a new coin.

Good analysis. I own a variety of coins, but Cryptographic bullion I think is undervalued. I'm looking forward to later developments with CGB. Cryptocurrencies are still in their infancy in terms of their potential, so the next couple of years will be interesting.

i like your thread freetrade and im about to buy myself some cgb because i trust your judgement after reading this, if you have time it would be great if you did a write up on DMD like peercoin but rare

lol 2nd generation, you mean 2nd generation 50% to 100% pre mined and desperately trying hard to get rich

I think Mooncoin is fun!

I think Mooncoin is fun!

What does that even mean?

[jadagles]

What about noble coin what do you think?

It means that I think Mooncoin is fun! I have fun aquiring and trading Mooncoin. It's great!

Congrats on the thread!
Would you please add:
NXT
Emunie
Ethereum

 

There is a lot of interest in the so-called 'second-generation' alts, but they are much harder to evaluate. They all look very technologically ambitious.  That means more risk and more potential reward.
The technology is very hard to evaluate, usually the spec is still fluid, impossible to know how easily the technology will be adopted, how long it will take to perfect, if there will be any late breaking showstoppers. Unless you have a particular insight into the technology being developed, I suggest completely ignoring it and looking at the team,

The questions I'm asking about for 2nd generation altcoin teams -

1. Aligned interests - Are investors' interests aligned with the founders? They should be.
2. Team pedigree - have the founders been in the community for a long time, or did they just float in on the last bubble? They should have history of seeing the potential of Bitcoin before it reached $1000, or $100, or even $10.
3. Jobs program - are the founders just trying to create well-paid jobs for themselves. That's a red flag.
4. Technical leadership - are technical people in charge? They should be.

1, 2, and 4 aren't as big a deal IMO, but #3 is the reason why I don't invest in these currencies. Yeah, its true that a centralized group of developers who hold most of the coin can probably develop it more efficiently than our decentralized communities...but I don't like the principle.

So how about a group of developers that do not hold most of the coin but get a "salary" to develop it efficiently + can be replaced anytime by a more efficient group?
Wait, that's MemoryCoin!
That's why I believe in MMC

I'd like to see the verdict for worldcoin,goldcoin and diamond coin that would be great thanks.

+1

Author nowhere mentioned it does not really matter how much coins are added because for as long as there is equilibrium of supply
and demand the price will stay stable. If X coins are added to total supply and 0 of those coins hit exchanges (miners decide to hold
them) but at the same time demand for cryptocoin in question increases then what happens? Yes, price will go up.

Those mentioned are not 2nd gen cryptocoins, don't be a fool! They are either minor variations on already existing cryptocoins (NXT
and clones are PPC + NMC done with Java) or totally depend on existing cryptocoins which they actually make more cool (MSC and all
others). eMunie? Nothing new. You need to analyse things a bit more for yourself and not fall so easily on sale pitches and propaganda.

Thanks, i had a feeling that it have nothing common with this thread.

And you need to stop spreading utter nonsense. Even if you don't like them cryptos like NXT do bring new things to the table. Progress is good.
