altcoin investment opportunities

[altcoininvestorwow]

List the altcoins you think will do best from now to the end of the year.

Coins must be either
a) at least a few months old so it has a stable dev and/or
b) offer some remarkable innovation and/or
c) coin dev must have some purpose for the coin beyond simple profit

Also market cap should be under $100k so there is plenty of room for growth.
Coin must have no ethical clouds.
Must not focus on gambling, mining, etc. Made for users.
Preferably completely fair launch but a small well justified premine in some cases may be okay.

Coins will move up or down if more info on them becomes available.

#1) xcn cryptonite / mini blockchain is the biggest real innovation in some time, downside is high number of coins
market cap ~50k usd
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=713538.0

bte bytecoin / original btc clone meant to let poor people play with btc
very low market cap <10k usd
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=169559.0

#4) btg bitgem / good innovation, dev reappears every few months with updates
extremely low market cap <10k usd, website is not too well done
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=207008.0

#2) huc huntercoin / active devs, seems very innovative with significant potential
market cap ~30k usd
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=435170.0.  

#3) piggy piggycoin / targets parents who want their children to learn about coins, potentially lucrative niche
low market cap ~15k usd
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=633803

#5) sonic or sonicscrewdriver is pricey but does look cool
i have not looked at it in depth, caveat emptor
market cap ~200k usd
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=730844.0

cannabiscoin makes the list on fundamentals.
Market cap is high, over$600k, but if the project is above board it could be very profitable.
One of the few coins with a real world application that is not forced.
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=661885.0      

****

digibyte has a huge group of devs and looks long term, a bit pricey but will probably be around for a while.
Wouldn't be a top pick for me but looks okay. market cap ~130k usd
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=408268.0

Peercoin and digitalcoin were suggested. Both are long term outstanding coins, especially peercoin.
Both a little rich for this list though. Market caps ~ 20m usd and 180k usd
ppc https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=101820.0
dgc https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=785601

****

Neither fish nor fowl coins. These are honest coins. But they don't appeal to me.
1) Checkcoin. A lot of positives but the enormous presale and self moderated thread are too much.
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=715563.0
2) Feathercoin. Some good things, some bad things. Steady history but not for me.
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=178286.0
3) Litecoindark. Nice atmosphere but 3% premine and $350k market cap make it a no go.
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=760143.0
4) Bitshares. Obviously very popular and huge market cap but the real world value is unclear.
http://bitshares.org/.      

****
Under review coins will be listed in this area.
Korecoin
Gridcoin
****
Rejected coins below.
****

A shitlist of coins people mention on this thread trying to pump them.
These have a scammy tone and other issues.

1) nfdcoin offers absolutely nothing. Dev uses a lot of scammer hype.
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=580537.0
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=653516.0
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=603932.0

2) nemcoin pumps a lot of shallow utopian bullshit. Nothing against utopia, it's bullshit that is annoying.

PPC is the only altcoin I think will gain serious attention after Bitcoin

digitalcoin is the altcoin I have most hopes for

Most altcoins are not 'investments', more like gambling. These are essentially penny stocks.

[iCEBREAKER]

xcn cryptonite / mini blockchain is the biggest real innovation in some time, downside is high number of coins

XCN is a great pick.  Minichains are so lite on resources you can run a full node on your phone.  Very good for network health.

An even more important feature is that XCN's withdrawal limits provide for safe transactions with zero confirmations.

That is just huge, but nobody seems to realize it yet and/or care.

Peercoin and primecoin both are top quality. A bit too safe though. They will go up for sure but it seems like a lot of smaller coins will go up a lot more.

I would like to know what coins the developer of ppc is working on now.

Your point about gambling is very true. Some devs though do genuinely have some purpose for their coin, some way it adds value to the coin evonomy. I should have listed that as a requirement for a pick.

c) Coin dev must have some vision greater than simple profit.

digitalcoin I'd put in a class with bytecoin except that digitalcoin is already very expensive.

You can invest altcoins through me.
30% monthly 
PM for details
And altcoins will be in market if there will be users of them, look at the Doge - for example.

What service are you offering? People give their money to you and you invest? If you are selling a service you should do it publicly so it can be scrutinized rather than through pm's where slow people can be caught easily.

Have a look at NFD: http://www.nfdcoin.com/

It's been around for a while, and its price - while very low - is surprisingly stable at 2 satoshis.

See for yourself: https://bter.com/trade/nfd_btc Just click the "Daily" chart tab and you'll see how stable it's been.

Check it out in the official BTT thread: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=603932.0

Its ecosystem isn't much at the moment, but it's a classic "sleeper." Low price, low market cap (100 BTC atm), stable, a dev team (incl. me) that sticks with it, and it's making its first steps towards real innovation. But its biggest selling point atm is the low price + price stability.

"5 billion coins were distributed through 1750 investors during initial public offering"?

And you call it 'fair distribution'?

One of us is retarded.

Two billion of those 5 billion were distributed via a giveaway. One of us likes jumping to conclusions.

Okay one of us is retarded and one jumps to conclusions.

Your coin adds absolutely nothing of value. It has no innovations. It is a big shellgame where you get people to join the con so they are vested in helping you make money. I call it a turdcoin but it's really a runnydiarrheacoin.

Your motive is to make money. That's fine. Why not make money by supporting coins that have real value instead of making yet another worthless one? Being a shitcoin developer does not make you a developer. It makes you a shitcoin developer.

[Ivanech]

Digibyte meets all listed requirements: it is 9-month old coin with strong devs and community, remarkable innovation like multi-algo and market cap is about $120,000.

You are running a scam.

"Five weeks after the NFD scammer robbed the NFD community and disappeared, the new all-victim NFD team is proud to announce that NFD is now launched and distributed!!"

You hit the coin. Then you come bwck through a side door to play hero. You try to create some phony drama to spice up your coin but it still is utter shit. Anyone not freshly fallen off the turnip truck can read through your posts and see you are a scammer.

1) You took a worthless product.
2) You added some fake drama.
3) You still have a worthless product.

$1.6m market cap?

I respect that a lot of people are willing to attach their names to it but what does it really have?

The website lead in is like fingernails on a chalkboard.
"An Internet currency free from any central bank or institution.
feathercoin bypasses the old banking system by using peer-to-peer technology. Payments are borderless and can be processed by anyone with affordable computer hardware using free software."

Neoscrypt is its innovation?

Not really what I'm looking for.

Only chronologically, kiddo. Psychologically, you're an almost perfect match for a too-gently-raised twelve-year old whose teacher showed him he got the wrong answer.
