Bitcoin vs Litecoin vs Doge vs Quark vs Peercoin vs Namecoin

[JimminyCricket]

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.

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

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

I can't even mine Verticoin. I tried mining it at coinmine.pl and every time it finds a share it says "booo". It won't find shares!!!! It was like 0/276 shares found for it and its so profitable to mine

Can you elaborate on this?

Does anyone know a pool I can mine with verticoin and actually get shares? My miner keeps finding shares and saying something like shares: "0/276 found booo"

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.

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

I respectfully disagree. Fair bit of activity at peercointalk.org indicates otherwise.

also 4 full time devs and $500K peershare project

What about Gridcoin ?

That definitely looks better. Glad they're more active than I thought.

Bitcoin is like a sun

rest are planets.
If you know what I mean by that.

[sarahg]

Probably NXT.

[roslinpl]

NXT is not on thread list

but thanks. And maybe you are right. Hell know

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.

You can not use a regular cgminer for Scrypt.. you need vertminer.

bitcoin, NXT and Peercoin for me. All other coins are just tools for me to trade around for more of the coins I actually care about - bitcoin, NXT and Peercoin. 

[moonriver]

Nxt, take it seriously. You are warned.

[BayAreaCoins]

HUC which is a fork of NMC. BTC was a fork of NMC.

[marcoslopez]

NXT, best group of devs. and community.

[Notanon]

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.

[EvilDave]

NXT is going to be huge. No other alt is so feature rich and innovative.
It's like a Bugatti Veyron compared to a Ford Model T.......maybe I exaggerate a little, but NXTs potential is massive.

[Netnox]

Quark no doubt
