DevCoin is the one to watch, don't underestimate the nerds. Or it will be like that movie and you'll be forced to watch them play an 80s tune.
I am making YouTube videos for various Alt-Currencies, what would you like to see said about these currencies (besides what is written). And which currencies would you add to the list?
Litecoin- If Bitcoin is Gold, this is Silver. Easier to mine.
BBQ Coin- Started as a joke
Devcoin- The ethical coin, 90% to developers, you can earn them by writing, developing web content or taking pictures
Bitbar- If Bitcoin is a gold coin, this is a gold coin. Hard to mine, EXTREMELY volatile market.
Namecoin-
PPCoin-
Novacoin-
Freicoin-
Feathercoin-Litecoin clone with 4x the coins
Chinacoin- Presented in China first
Yet Another Cryptocoin-
Royalcoin-
Goldcoin-
Luckycoin- Random giant blocks to reward miners extra sometimes.

Almost all of the alt-coins are there are going to be a waste of time. They're being created to take advantage of people who get super excited about different things and then get pumped and dumped.
Be careful about wasting time with too many alt coins.

Agree, but it is more satisfying to be able to mine whole coins for newcomers, who often don't have much of a setup or GPU. I love the alt coins. They're fun (even if just for now).
You hit the nail on the head. I'm mining ftc because my setup isn't the best, and it is indeed more fun to mine whole coins. Since some of the alt-coins can be traded on an exchange for bitcoin I find it a fun way to (indirectly) mine my own btc.
Yep BTC and LTC. You have to have velocity of the money supply - have to use it for goods and services. More consumer sites accepting BTC and LTC at this point than newer cryptos. However without alt coins I believe difficulty for BTC and LTC would skyrocket not leaving mining profits for anyone. You have to have the alt cryptos to give more people the opportunity to mine.
i think that you are totaly right about that!

BTC is probably the longest currency on the market in the future
and NVC

Is there any LuckyCoin LKY exchange?
Luckycoin....
Oh My God! 
Is there any LuckyCoin LKY exchange?

I have to agree with you mate. We just need to give some time to alt coins and if we want them to survive we have to support them.
All of the coins, BTC included, have to gain mass adoption before they'll truly be viable as a long-term currency. BTC is getting there, the others have a long way to go, but remember, in 2010 we were saying the same thing about BTC.
do you consider ripple an alt coin?
I do so for XRP (ripples), but I don't for the ripple protocol. And in combination I regard it worth beeing investigated further. To me it has potential as an alt-coin (in co-existence with BTC), alt-mtgox, alt-paypal and maybe more.

I wouldn't really trust ripple till the source code is released.

Yes, I agree, it is a big issue.However, the idea behind it seems quite innovative and convincing.
In that point it differs from many alt-coins that are mere clones.
