Unlike traditional banking where clients have only a few account numbers, with Bitcoin people can create an unlimited number of accounts (addresses). This can be used to easily track payments, and it improves anonymity.

If i can only choose from your list: BTC and PPC

But i think VertCoin (VTC) could also be a good investment.

When?  In a week, a month, a year, a decade....?

If you're investing without a target, you're doing it wrong.

Voted for quark, been following it for a while and i believe it's really progressing. You can't see it directly in the price, but such things happen suddenly and i think quark has a good chance in this.

What about it do you think is progressing? I mean, nothing much has happened with it recently, other than the fact that it entered the low-mining-reward phase at the start of the year -- and that's sort of a buzzkill regardless of whether it's healthy. Have I missed some developments?

It would definitely be Quark out of this list.

Bitcoin - will gain slowly

Litecoin - I really don't see much going for it at this point.

Doge - There isn't much to say about this coin except meme and community. If people choose meme > real technological advance then we're all doomed.

Quark - Already ASIC resistant and quick confirmation, and used a unique economical model. Community is actually active and working towards goal. Building mobile wallets, marketing, and gaining momentum.

Peercoin - Pretty inactive community, but they have POS/POW hybrid.

Namecoin - pretty inactive community, but seriously i don't think anyone have heard of anything about namecoin recently. It's incredible that it's still doing this well.

Quarkcoin, value against Bitcoin has been steadily rising for weeks now. Mobile wallet almost complete as well as many strong technical features. It also get's solid trade in china's BTC38, on occasion it trades more volume in CNY there than BTC and LTC! Has solid LONG TERM prospects. 


QRK
Doge
LTC
PPC
BTC
NMC


all will be strong in the future however i put them in this order. I think DOGE is underestimated by many. BTC could rocket off but i would see others doubling in price before that does.

Definitely QRK.

It is from a technical point of view the best developed coin: fast, secure and good financial structure.
Besides there is a great development team behind it trying to integrate QRK within the community. There is a lot in development: mobile wallet, pay systems, website widgets etc. Just have a look at reddit/r/QuarkCoin or at the Qaurk foundation forum and see how active they are Smiley
At exchange sites it is one of the most traded coins, and sites selling QRK for fiat have troubles with a good supply of the coin.
The price is ridiculous low for such a potential coin. In my opinion this is an investment with low risk and you will have lots of fun with QRK on the long term!

Unfortunately the best quality coin has not always the best price. Marketing is another important aspect of gaining value. One coin is master in that: DOGE. It has much sympathy from the community. In my opinion it couldn't go higher than 150 satoshi. This joke reached this week almost to 300 satoshi. It will end somewhere but where I have no idea. Probably at the moment BTC will find its way up again. The problem with their amount of coins circulating, lot of mining rewards and high price is that it will fall hard when it starts to fall. A high risk coin to invest at the moment. Just wait till it is below 100-150 satoshi again is my advise. At a higher price I would not invest.

LTC is a steady coin. On the long term (> 1year) it will gain some value again. You will not loose any money by investing in this coin now to my opinion. It is like QRK an unique coin with lots of benefits compared to BTC. Most coins are cloned LTC (including DOGE), what is more promotional than that?!

Other coins I have not so much experience with. PPC has a great developer (the same as XPM), but what I heard is that the community is not that active. At the end you want to use your coin for payment transactions, otherwise the value of a coin is of no use. Because there are big whales behind it, you will not run in much risk investing in PPC. When the price is too low it will be pumped some day. That is my experience with investments in this coin at btc-e. Just do not invest after the pump Tongue, or while it is pumped. I lost some during those pumps with PPC and XPM at btc-e.

You are just a hater not having any quark, besides i'm not against Litecoin but the fact is that the most pumped coin of all time by max keiser is Litecoin. Now does this make litecoin a bad coin? NO, just because some greedy media puppet choses a coin for his benefit doesn't mean that particular coin is bad. You are one disrespectful fella. quark certainly brings innovation with around 20 clones being the 3rd biggest hashing family and it's mining in the first days was just like prime coin.
It's also less a "clone" than Litecoin is. It's clear that you have invested in btc/ltc/nmc and don't want to see other better coins get popular to protect your own asset by mocking them. Such desperate Roll Eyes, but you are always welcome, just post in the quark reddit and we will tip you some, cheers

Doge - not for some time, reward just dropped.
btc - will be back in 900s range at the end of the month.
qrk- it will take time .. Not for quick buck.

go with vertcoin  if you want quick buck

ltc is also at lows at the moment. Will bounce back a little, so that can be your oppertunity.

vertcoin is new for me, and they seem professional.
Why do you think it is quick buck?

One of the first things I look at, when I do some research on the coin is the block time. Coins with slower than 1 minute block time, I try to avoid (except for BTC/LTC). vertcoin seems somehow slow with 2.5 minutes?

LTC - horrifically over-valued, long-term trend is down
Doge - in two years this will be passé, the teenagers will have found something else to have fun with

I would try the vertcoin dedicated thread. They would most likely be able to help you.

Just wanted to update because a new coin was added to the list.

Vertcoin - I do think it has potential being semi resistant to ASIC, but the possiblity of ASIC is still very possible. I hold a few vertcoin personally, but Quark already has everything vertcoin has and is faster and more secure. So it's a tough one to judge Vertcoin when ASIC selling point is already covered by Quark. Both being ASIC ressistant, but Quark has faster confirmation speed. This is something that is going to matter a lot in the future.

Quark - the speed and security will attract Joe Bloggs, massive growth at some point is likely.

I would agree on LTC.

Doge - will depend on the community, I disagree with the assertions that it's all teenagers to me is seems like they are bringing people of all ages in.  If they continue building at the same rate and get more support it the next 6months or so, it will stick and live on for a long time.
Quark - Speed is important but not critical (compared to everything else), security meh... nobody new the crypto world does an analysis of all the coins for who has the best security... All coins have a base of good security the foundation is sound... It's the bells as whistles that each coin adds.  If any specific feature becomes a must have it gets added then.  How they can use its and how well it's accepted is what brings people in.
I'm still waiting to see what's Quark's big pull is for non crypto people.

I'm in the Peercoin camp when it comes to SHA-256, but I think Earthcoin could be an outside chance at the moment. Litecoin could jump back up when Cipher-Trade get underway to enable share trading via LTC.

Not only i have bought them, but i have done my homework before buying and i think it's return will be more than others which are listed in this topic. Recently i've followed them more often and i like what i see. You can call it speculation, but i'm pretty confident in this. I have BTC/LTC and Quark

In the long run, I say go with Nxt. Because it's a whole platform exceeding the function of NXT as coins/tokens.

But why not diversify a little? If I was to invest 100 now, I'd put 60 in Nxt and 40 split between DOGE/QRK/PPC if I had to choose from your list.

I don't see the benefits of NXT at all. A lot of it seem to be stolen from Emunie concepts with poorer implication. If I was to bet on the two next generation coin. I would go with Emunie the one with the original ideas and beta phases to actually workout all the problems.

If btc is going down , it will send all the alts into hibernation just like may-november.
Almost all of the alts are only traded in BTC or LTC , that tells everything about altcoins.

Should I delete Namecoin from the poll? 0 votes and over 120 have voted so far..

Also, Vertcoin? Checked out their subreddit (i'm a big reddit fan) and it looked like half were on the line about commiting suicide after it went from .015 to .0035 or something..

LTC - horrifically over-valued, long-term trend is down
Doge - in two years this will be passé, the teenagers will have found something else to have fun with
Quark - the speed and security will attract Joe Bloggs, massive growth at some point is likely.

LTC overvalued? on what basis? It was the first scrypt coin, so as BTC it is there to stay. Also, there is 8millions $ in transaction everyday and 80GH/s on the network. Quark is what, another scrypt based coin? with like 160k$ in transaction? and only 1 GH/s. I don't know which coin will be there in 10 years, but LTC will be rising for a long time... I don't see the point of speed before major adoption, and I don't see major adoption in the coming years. But we'll see.

I agree with you on DOGE thought, but for the moment to come, it is one of the best short term investment.

Vertcoin has great potential to rise once further developments are put into motion, so it takes my vote. It may have declined and is still somewhat declining in price, but just a little over a week ago the price was sub $1. Short term drops and spikes are not indicative of long term potential.

Vertcoin was created by a man that didn't know sh!t about marketing and stuff like that. Look at it now. It's getting power and capitalization, because smart people see its potential.
The mining troubles scared the weak ones, but the stong ones are mining and getting profit off that. It's 100% ASIC-proof-ness may not be valuated high now, but surely will, in few months.

I didn't vote for quark but I must say out of all of the alt currencies I like mining and using quark the best.

The reason I like mining quark is because I know that everyone else mining it is mining it with CPU's or cloud servers.

As far as why I like using quark the best, well, I love the transaction speed being less then 30 seconds, its amazing.  Sometimes I have the coins in my walled and confirmed before the pop up that I am receiving coins even shows up.

I think the transaction time alone will take quark to the next level as the other coins confirmation times are too long.

Peercoin -2%
Litecoin - 6%
Namecoin -7%
Vertcoin -48%




Sidenote: I'm thinking about removing Vert from the poll. This one is too risky considering that it hasn't gone up in price since it was listed on cryptsy. There might be claims of it being 'undervalued' because of this, but this coin has a lot of tell-tale signs of just being a hyped coin that got pumped and has bagholders still talking about it..

The reason the price dropped so much is because at the price it was at, it was incredibly profitable to mine. At the current price it is still near the top for profitability.

Agreed. It may still be too overvalued. Considering the rate of mining and the price right now, I think this coin may not be an option till it drops by 50%.

But please think about this thread:
"Re: Bitcoin vs Litecoin vs Doge vs Quark vs Peercoin vs Namecoin"

Bitcoin is a sun.

Rest are making rounds around bitcoin Smiley

Bitcoin will always win.
(I believe that).

Altcoins are altcoins.
Bitcoin is much different for now.

Time will show am I right or not.

Dogecoin is no type of long term investment. Over 5 billion new coins per year forever, so that means in less than 20 years there will be two times the number of coins they originally sold us on as the "cap".

this is not true, I don't mine and I bought 100% of my vert on the open market and it's made a killing.  you're looking at graphs that don't go back to the beginning when the coins were trading at 0.0003.  sucks if you bought in at the top of the last peak, but that's how coins trade....very peaky.  just look at bitcoin, litecoin, doge, and all the others and you'll see the same pattern.

buy with your fundamental analysis and gut and forget following the swings or you'll get burned.

Using the given list, I'll give three targets based on my "opinions."

Short-term (around 3 months): VTC. It has dropped significantly from the first sell-off spike. But I think with upcoming developments in the realm of ASICs, VTC will likely garner more attention and another likely spike.

Medium-term (around 6 months): LTC. If you go with some estimates, ASICs could be at the end of production sometime around the end of Q2 and start being used around the beginning of Q3. This will likely be followed by a spike in LTC price just like how BTC spiked after the first releases of SHA-256 ASICs.

Long-term (around a year): BTC. Come on, it's the nature of the beast.

Hehe. Have fun!

VERTCOIN

# No premine
# Even coin distribution
# No super bag holders (like bitcoin/litecoin/ DOGE/Quark), Although there is some 1 buying up a lot of coins right now.
See http://bitinfocharts.com/
# Unique feature : ASIC proof When all the (LTC) asics hit the market all GPU people will jump to vertcoin.
# nice community at http://www.reddit.com/r/vertcoin/

Vertcoin is still under the radar but will grow a lot this year.
Only distortion is the recent  price spike. A growth of 3000% within a week is a
bit too much for such a small and young (1 month) coin,  so there is a natural decline in price.
It will get far more valuable. so it is worth investing into it.

This post made me dislike Vertcoin even more. vertcoins Reddit on the right "vertans mine and hold", when you want to submit a topic on the top it says again "mine and hold!", now thats some bag holding encouragement isn't it? You need to learn how to promoot your coin, you won't get far by falsely criticising top coins.

I wasn't really like typing it all so just copied it, don't know about frozen and others but this goes for quark

An advantage of Quark might be, in this case it was compared with darkcoin, Darkcoin's block generation time is 2.5minutes (150seconds), while Quark is 30 seconds. Which means that Quarks algorithm with an element of randomness (unpredictability) will have to be cracked in 30 seconds to create a double-spend fork, while for Darkcoin this window of opportunity for the attacker is 5 timeslonger: 150 seconds with no element of randomness.

Quark is using 9 rounds of hashing: while using 6 rounds from Blake, Blue Midnight Wish, Grøstl, JH, Keccak and Skein it adds 3 more rounds of hashing randomly: so the computer doesn't know whether it will be Keccak or Grøstl or Blake. And that's one of the uniqiue beauties of Quark. Unfortunately, Darkcoin or Qubitcoin don't do that: the computer remains certain about which hashing function will be used. If you take all these factors into account, Quark is still the most secure - it's not only about the number of hashing functions."

Hi there! I've seen you're talking about all these nice coins and i would like to inform you all that KimoCoin will be launched too!!

It's quite different from your coin so check it out the official thread, could be good for the ones who likes Pow/pos hybrid with smooth scrypt jane & adaptive n-factor!

KimoCoin Official Thread---> https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=524216.msg5812477#msg5812477

Good luck!
