Im interested in doing an article on the top 3 Altcoins aside from Litecoin and Dogecoin.
I think it would be interesting to visit back to the article in 6 months and a year and see how they stacked up.
So who would be the top 3 contenders?

For me it's
1) Quark 2) Ethereum 3) Zerocoin
maybe vtc, but it doesn't attract me much. I don't mine so don't care about it.

Based on volume it is pearcoin (not joking here :p ) , zetacoin, blackcoin.
But dogecoin and litecoin are much, much ahead any way.

These 2 only exist because they are on btc-e, without it, they would be gone by now. No community, no projects, no dedicated members

For me, Vertcoin, Hirocoin/darkcoin (one of them HAS to come out on top), and blackcoin seems promising too.

ZETACOIN has grown 600% in the last week and has an amazing community pushing it that is frankly without match ... it already has an ad service that competes with Google Adsense and an Android wallet app ... and some huge news are coming. Don't overlook it.

Litecoin. The best known altcoin and for a damn good reason, very good support and a good foundation. Devcoin. The fact it rewards developers with it's unique method of operating is very cool. Peercoin. PoS mining is hugely innovative and awesome.
All these other altcoins? Well, they're mostly shit. DogeCoin does not classify as a top altcoin. Yes, it's popular, because it's a memecoin, but you can't call it innovative or anything like that. A top altcoin is something that actually brings something new to the table, has dedicated developers who aren't just there to make profit, and isn't controversial (because 99% of the time controversy does have at least some truth in it's roots).
