If an altcoin were to overtake Bitcoin, which would it be?

[apenzl]

Nxt, or any other commercially developed coin

Say WHAT?!

Basic Critera for a decent coin:

1) Active Development Team
2) Active Marketing Team
3) Technical advancements (not just a clone)
4) Community Support
5) Does the coin have all the necessities to be considered a coin for the masses?
6) What does the coin do differently

Anyone stating a coin here should defend the items above for this coin IMO...

I believe the major criteria for the sustainability of a coin is a stable value so that it will be widely adopted by merchants.

Yes, it's going to be NXT, serious guys!, Go NXT its amazing, 2nd generation coin with 100% premine and 1000 alt accounts on bitcointalk to promote it.

If anything it would be litecoin and not the cloned types like doge etc.

Interesting. The ignorance of people is growing exponentially.

The more people getting into cryptocurrency, the dumber the community is.

It is a bright future for the few that have a minimum of knowledge and know how/when/where to invest and make money out of the fools.

auroracoin , the only currency destined to be currency of a country.

darkcoin is nothing

Darkcoin is one of the best coins there is from a technical standpoint.  It's only problem is that it's name and function may prohibit it to a small market cap labeled as a drug dealer coin or something.

That same quality might also elevate it to high market cap by the same users.  After all, Satoshi didn't invent Bitcoin.  Bitcoin was useless.  Ross Ulbricht invented Bitcoin.

Also, I'm not sure if people have rocks for brains in these threads because I rarely see anyone ever talking about economic models.  Many coins have identical models, some are a lot different.  Cashcoin probably has the best economic model I've seen on a coin so far.  If anyone thinks there's a better one, name it, because I haven't seen it.  

No, I don't consider Freicoin viable, because people have the freedom to choose something that will give them more profit, so why bother with that?

NXT Vs. Bitcoin

Quark and NXT shills get the fuck out.  Everyone is tired of reading your forum spam.  You will rarely see someone with high post count shilling for these coins.  It's always some 1 star poster paid to type this crap from Nigeria.

This coming from the guy that joined about 3 months ago.

This is a waste of a post.  People are going to "talk their book".  By pure metrics LTC has the most utility in that next to BTC it is most accepted my merchants for transactions (not exchanges).  The next is FTC and then it falls off a cliff.

it goes btc, ltc, ppc, doge. ftc is 8th.

and doge was 3rd place, but fell back to 4th. doge climb so fast. wow. to the moon.

edit:

i see what you mean by "cliffs" - cliff #1: bitcoin. drops to cliiff #2 litecoin. then drops to cliff #3: peercoin & dogecoin. then another cliff.

[Alohaboy?!]

Darkcoin is the far most developed coin with anonymity and GW and all

Darkcoin ain't no Dogecoin. Dogecoin to the moon!

CASH coin is bringing something new, technically unexploitable with difficulty drop scams.

But it makes it un-interesting for auto-switching profit hunter pools as their payout reduces in line with everyone else's right away.

FRK (franko)   - great and fair.
FST  (fast)        - very fast and reliable.
WDC                 - Well known
MEC                  - idem.
DBL                   - great coin.
...

These above are good coins and fair.
