Not bad. I'd like to see the average number of block transactions in the past 24-48 hours - not sure if anyone else has this right now. To me, that's one sign that a coin is healthy - when people are actually moving coins around.
true, that would be nice. Do you know how I can gather that information?
It would need to be pulled from a blockchain explorer for each altcoin.
http://altexplorer.net/ has a number of coins and each block lists a transaction qty. I'm not sure if there's an API - what I'm talking about is probably a lot of effort, but it would be one of the top criteria for deciding which coins are growing and which are not.
