What are your picks for "sleeper" coins?

[makoto1337]

Check VPN Coin

As a general rule, any coin not closely connected to a Gen 2.0 platform is a waste of time...
No standalone coin is gonna go to a serious market cap in 2015 (unless it has a REAL revenue stream from something).

But VPN has has some serious technology and, obviously, an Elite Dev...
That's why they were invited to join SuperNET along with other coins with Elite Devs like VRC and BBR and BTCD.

Notice the common thread: jl777 is stockpiling the rarest thing in crypto = Elite Devs.

Most "devs" here are cut-and-pasters or wallets wranglers with no meaningful development background...
You know, the guys that put blinking lights on wallets... that hype and fool the rubes every time.

There was an interview on soundcloud with this opal coin developer and the developer was like 10 years old..  Maybe there's some prodigy geniuses out there but I suspect, like the point you raised, there's a lot of copy and paste developers out there.

Whit will still be writing 1337 kodez when I am dead and buried from old age, so I'm not about to say anything bad about him

Unobtanium, what else!?
It's a fuckin monster.

I think NEM is probably the best pick for the next big thing  

There are many unique features that are new to NEM, such as:

- first use of Proof-of-Importance (PoI) as a consensus algorithm
- first use of eigentrust++ in a cryptocurrency for securing the P2P network
- encrypted messaging
- first use of remote (proxy) harvesting (harvesting is our analog of mining)
- first use of transaction spam protection
- first crypto with an address book on launch
- first crypto with multisig on launch
- first crypto with 1oz 999 pure silver coin to be minted at the Perth Mint, given to every stakeholder (along with matching assets, essentially creating a silver-backed currency in addition to the main currency, XEM)
- first crypto with an egalitarian distribution to over 1500 individuals
- 4 exchanges confirmed to add NEM at launch (BTER, Poloniex, Bittrex, and BTC38)
- NEM Decentralized Autonomous Organization (DAO; https://forum.nemcoin.com/ideas/nem-community-fund-(aka-nemtopia)/) for managing a community fund where everyone can vote and voting is based on importance scores (used as a part of PoI)
- open source client (https://github.com/NewEconomyMovement/NemCommunityClient) and future open sourcing of the core server
- test-driven development with over 3000 unit tests in the core alone
- SHA3, curve Ed25519
- 60s block time with low variability due to a 60 block weighted, moving average
- progressive transaction fees

I'm one of the NEM devs, so I could be biased, so please read more and judge for yourself

That is pretty historic.  I think soon people might just realize what they are looking at and just how different it is from the start to all other blockchains.

NODE coin is starting to wake up.

[MEPHuk]

Holding some FTC, hoping it shoots up now that it is no longer shackled to BTC-E.

[anticlimax]

Xqn/myst.

[box0211]

nxt is going to be big contender this year compared to the other coins. its just waiting for that click event when someone decides to build a useful app on top of it.

[sofu]

NEOS - Marketcap is a joke / syntaks best dev / php wallet basis for real world adaption

VIA - Peter Todd treechains FTW

and some coins I can`t talk about at the moment   

[ybcoin]

Though YBCoin already has the 16 spot on the market cap, I believe that once the English community engages the coin we will rise to a top 10 position.

My bet is on AppleByte, launched on May 1, 2014.The digital currency supporting the arts.

A real user community, 12,900+ on Twitter & 11,700+ on FB.
Currently rated number 5, on CoinGecko in terms of user community size and support.


Through the Twitter tipping app, launched two months ago, over 350 artists have been tipped more than 100,000 AppleBytes by their fans.
Just launched a new music download site, where you can buy music with applebytes.


Has strong industry recognition:

A nice twitter acknowledgement from a friend in NYC



GoCoin Chairman & Co-founder, Brock Pierce twitter acknowledgement






For success longterm a coin must have a real, growing user community, not just traders on an exchange.



AppleByte Details:
Announce Thread: Announce Thread
Website: AppleByte.me

AppleByte (ABY) is traded on Poloniex and Bittrex

I am going to look into this coin thanks for the info it has alot of followers on twitter are they legit? lol

Will check facebook also and if it has a big following will be giving this some of my time it is so cheap  

EDIT: checked this coin on facebook has a really good following definitely worth a closer look

[atlantic miner]

good idea to buy a couple hundred of each coin while they are cheap and just forget about them a few months at a time. sure fire investment strategy.

NEM will be amazing but I'm not sure whether it qualifies as a sleeper or not. Lots of people are giving it attention.

New coins should be more than just another one sitting there waiting to be pumped or murdered. The ones that'll surprise people are the ones working on real world applications far beyond this forum. There aren't very many.

[One Six]

Vericoin and Monero.

[HCLivess]

NXT,VTC and MYR

[picolo]

What coins do you think have the potential to be huge, but have very little attention from the cryptocommunity as a whole?

People are going to respond telling you the coins they invested in usually for a short term profit.

[ObscureBean]

I think the most promising of them all and one of few that could potentially outlive Bitcoin if the worst came to worst is Ripple. I very rarely hear people talk about XRP and up until recently I didn't think much of it myself. But after Googling around a bit, it seems to me that it's one of the most solid projects out there and it's quietly gaining ground.
