✠ The Official AltCoin WhiteList ➢ For Real Coins☆With Real Devs☆With Real Goals

[Crypt Keeper]

After Hearing all the Fuss
and Having the Market Being Completely Flooded
I have decided to put together a Complete list of all the Coins
that deserve to be Whitelisted

All it takes to get a coin on the Whitelist
is valid reasoning as to why the coin should be Whitelisted
Just post the reasoning in this thread and the coin will be Whitelisted

Conversely, if you believe a coin should be Blacklisted
Post the Reasoning And It will be added to the Blacklist

There is also a Graylist that presents both sides of the story for
Coins that have been requested to Whitelist and Blacklist or
If the coin has too simple of reasoning to be added to either list

A coin cannot be whitelisted or blacklisted just because of its name.

This is an attempt to compile real data through the words of the entire community
So take a look at what people are saying and make your own, now maybe more educated decision.

Also, Please include the names of the creator/dev or group of devs as you know them
Along with other coins they have Created

*coins that have no use, no innovation, that are coingencoins or anything of the likes will simply not be listed.
So if you know a coin that has positive qualities please add them into this thread so they are not missed

One last thing, when posting the coin please use the same format that you see
CoinName (Dev)- Reasoning

Whitelist - Reasoning

Litecoin - The Original Alt Coin

Peercoin - First proof of stake coin, aims to replace proof of work

Primecoin - First proof of useful work, finding prime numbers

Namecoin - Adding public database feature

Goldcoin - Was one of the first to develop a 51% defense system, multi-pool resistant and release a functional Android app.

Dogecoin - First to have dog name, huge community support & welcoming to crypto newcomers

Teacoin - very supportive dev made for real tea shops, genuine 0 premine

Protoshares - innovative way to decentralize assets exchanges of DAC

GPUcoin - it was built for the main purpose of buying discount GPUs with a business already in place. IPO was distributed to investors as promised.

PAWNcoin - It was built for online PAWNshop. Escrow was used for the IPO and it was distributed as promised.

Androidstokens (ZackClark70) - Still alive despite everything that was thrown at it, I'll bet the dev spent more keeping this coin alive than was spent on any other coin out there. Popular both in the western and eastern markets. If anything, we can be sure the current dev will never let this coin die as long as he can help it.

Preminecoin - A worthy experiment of the future of BitCoin, has already found bugs (block reward resets to 50 after last halving) in the BitCoin code that would have gone undetected until it was mined out otherwise. Widely distributed, serious community, Android wallet with more features than the one that everyone keeps cloning.

Gridcoin - computing power is used to generate coins and compute research data at the same time. It helps to find a cure to diseases like cancer.

Feodracoin/TIPS - Built in mixer in the qt-wallet.

NXT - 2nd gen crypto, wallet is in java and coins are accessible with a passphrase instead of wallet.dat. Already have alias system. Test version of decentralized exchange has been released. Great developers working on this coin.  

Digitalcoin (Baritus) - Has built in protection for 51% and approaching its 1 year anniversary. Also has great community support, Hardworking and innovative dev, Regular client updates, Dub lightweight wallet (which hardly any alts have) which will include various integrations such as GUI miner, Upcoming Coinmart store, CryptoAve exchange ( merchant services, DGC, SRC and ARG to USD markets), Digiclick.co advertising for DGC, Upcoming revamped DGC website and market site, DGC Text based MMO, DGC/ARG Bank, DGC Poker site, Upcoming marketing push including TV and radio (Attempted blacklist on the following basis) Shady dev recently sold $30,000 of his own coins while soliciting investors, Developer has numerous other pump and dump coins, Conflict of interest being exchange owner and coin dev  

Sexcoin - for the adult market and has a dedicated dev team / an expanding user base

Popularcoin (CryptoJet) - Because We are working to lift the entire CryptoCurrency Community into the Hands of Popular Culture by giving them an easy way to buy into the market, We have a strong community of miners, I am designer/co-dev (CryptoJet) giving a presentation and this years Crypto Currency Convention http://www.cryptocurrencyconvention.com/ also, we are doing extensive polling to find out what exactly Popular Opinion is within the Crypto Community, Mining is extremely fun and there is even a Super Epic Reward of 100,000X Coins every 9,999 blocks, We have an Art Design By an Award Winning Artist that even met Niel Armstrong (landed on the Moon) Joe Jones http://airmail-greetings.com/about_the_artist.php, not only are we looking to lift the entire Crypto Currency Community we are also looking to benefit the entire world, we had 0 premine and are Not Looking dump our coin and abandon our community, we are in it for the Long Haul, We even Have a Featured Artist Every three months on our website!

Zetacoin (ZBAD305) - Together with Bitcoin and Litecoin it is the main alt coin for http://cryptr.ch, Strong and very open community through ZBAD305, Multiple large and innovative projects running into getting this coin broadly accepted for real life transactions, A lot of merchants and shops in the queue to start accepting the coin once the Android wallet is released and later on a solid Payment Gateway for Zetacoin will be realeased as well, Main goal focuses on real-life (micro)transactions in combination with user-friendly, quickness and ease of use! This is really an alt-coin to keep an eye on and has the best intentions for the crypto/digital currency era we are heading into.




Graylist - Reasoning


DataCoin - Truly innovative

GridCoin - Truly innovative

Klondikecoin - deserves to be on the whitelist

Mintcoin - should be added to white list, it should start to gain traction in the market soon and has a very good future





Blacklist - Reasoning

Maxcoin - Bungled launch without Windows client to give devs early advantage, Blatant pump and dump

Bitcoin scrypt - just a copy of bitcoin and litecoin. It does not offer any innovation at all. Just mocking the bitcoin algo.

Bytecoin - complete clone of bitcoin, basically just resets the bitcoin.

Quark - adds nothing useful & is basically un-mineable now, another pump & dump scamcoin.



If you see a coin that is Blacklisted and you dont agree
Please Provide a compelling argument and the pros/cons will be weighed

Goldcoin (GLD) is approaching its one-year anniversary and is considered a mature altcoin.

The coin was one of the first to develop a 51% defense system and to become multi-pool resistant. Goldcoin was one of the first altcoins to release a fully-functional Android app. Today, the developers are working on an innovative java client to be released soon.

We believe that 2014 will be a banner year for Goldcoin as our marketing campaign rolls out in Spring to promote our new java client.

I need more than that for Dogecoin.

[zackclark70]

I think that you should make a list of what is bad and assign points to each thing if the coin reaches more than a set amount of points it goes on the bad list coins then do things to improve themselves and get onto the good list

[blueangel01]

I think we should clarify the definition of innovation vs shitcoins.

This is a great article to promote and discuss to put an end to shit coins.

I need more than that for Dogecoin.

When I first became interested in altcoins, I focused on technical characteristics as my sole criterion. I've come to realize that is too limited - that emotional loyalties can play a factor in the success of a coin, either by appealing to a particular demographic (Auroracoin) or a particular interest (dogecoin).

My opinion - whitelist dogecoin because it does appear to have some development and community support, more so than 98% of the altcoins out there. And keep Auroracoin in mind - if the March 25 airdrop proceeds as planned and is not a complete disaster (even a partial success would be a great thing in my opinion), then whitelist it then.

As for blacklisting, Spaincoin sure looks like a rushed copy of Auroracoin without the necessary planning and marketing. I know everyone wants to act fast, but with altcoins we ought to be thinking long term, and people should be taking their time to release coins with long term staying power.

I have an honest, genuine question for you: What exactly does Digitalcoin provide to prevent a 51% attack? 

Every X # of blocks there is a "Checkpoint" block that resets the chain back to a set point making it hard to fork. I don't personally understand exactly how it works, but I do know that it seems to have worked. I can ask baritus to explain it the next time I see him and I can pm it to you if you'd like me to.

[Crypt Keeper]

Digitalcoin - Blacklist

1) Shady dev recently sold $30,000 of his own coins while soliciting investors
2) Developer has numerous other pump and dump coins
3) Conflict of interest being exchange owner and coin dev



~BCX~

Ok, these are the real kinds of reasons I am looking to protect investors against, sometimes people buy coins and have no clue about this kind of stuff. I am going to have to create a GrayList, and present both sides of the arguement.

That's what POS coins have been doing for a long time now

You really are a piece of shit. I have been trying to ignore you for the last little while, but its fucking impossible. You are the biggest fucking douche I have ever seen on the internet or in real life. You have nothing better to do than go around on this forum and spread whatever shit, lies, FUD you feel like spreading. Noone on this board likes you yet you somehow are still here.

I don't know why you have such a hard-on for baritus/DGC but you either need to drop it or come up with proof that what you say happened actually happened. And before other people start saying things like "dont feed the troll" think about it this way, if 75% of your crypto funds were in Digitalcoin and someone went around spouting off and driving the price down all day long, how the fuck would you feel?

[jonnysomething]

BCX seems like a trusted, respected member of the community.

You seem like an angry person with 75% of your funds invested in to a crypto that this well-respected member has said is a scam coin.

Just my opinion.

I would really like it if you can please go through the thread that BCX bombed in the other day please. He was in there for 3 days saying the same thing over and over again. "show us the address the coins were stolen from"
#1. we found the block the coins were transfered in, that didnt matter, BCX kept going on about it
#2. in that same thread he said that Cryptoave was hacked and funds were compromised, when in actuality no coins were lost, someone just locked people people out of their accounts (they locked them by trying to reset the passwords and failing, over and over, it only happened to 9 accounts and did not compromise anyones actual account)
#3. BCX visited a few of my threads stating he was going to hack my site (which is based off of DGC) "once i get more users"

So please dont judge Digitalcoin on what this worthless piece of trash has to say about it. Look into all the BCX hate threads, he is a massive bully and is known for spreading lies to get what he wants, I mean ffs, he said he was gonna hack KGW, also said he was going to fork LTC a while back. Don't listen to his FUD, come talk to us in #Digitalcoin on the freenode network and judge for yourself

~BCX~

I support a number of coins including PPC, NMC and DGC and there is no way in hell a non-biased person can possibly put DGC on the blacklist. Are you serious you moron?? This just goes to show you are running some sort of crazy agenda against the DGC community. What might be better is if your blacklisted from Bitcointalk considering the number of ridiculous, inflammatory and senseless posts you put on this site.

Whitelist inclusion reasons for DGC.

- Hardworking and innovative dev
- Very fair and clean launch (No premine/instamine. Arguably the fairest of all alts)
- Regular client updates
- Dub lightweight wallet (which hardly any alts have) which will include various integrations such as GUI miner
- Upcoming Coinmart store
- CryptoAve exchange ( merchant services, DGC, SRC and ARG to USD markets)
- Digiclick.co advertising for DGC
- Upcoming revamped DGC website and market site
- DGC Text based MMO
- DGC/ARG Bank
- DGC Poker site
- Upcoming marketing push including TV and radio

You must be really new here, BCX is neither respected nor trusted, he is a loudmouth tool/troll

Okay, now it's clear why you deny reality with such enthusiasm, you're a huge bag holder LOL...

Like it or not the dev burned a lot of you guys, this isn't the place to debate that, please stay on topic or your post will be reported and removed  


~BCX~

Hurry up and call your mod freinds to get rid of people in a thread that dont agree with you. Stop being a fucking asshole and deal with the fact that you are a lying piece of garbage spreading FUD on a good community! If you would keep your mouth shut we would have no problem getting back up to 0.80$ per DGC

And the great thing about Goldcoin being used as a currency is its stability, its not going to do these stupid upswings in price, anytime it rises significantly I'll dump (as I've done in the past) and keep the price nice and low.
