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

And you call it 'fair distribution'?

One of us is retarded.

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://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/ann-nfdv2-nfd-coin-thread-locked-603932

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.

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.

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. 

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/digibytedgb-core-v61651-digishield-digispeed-segwit-408268

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

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://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/anncheckcoin-explore-the-world-using-checkcoin-pr-phase-715563
2) Feathercoin. Some good things, some bad things. Steady history but not for me.
https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/feathercoin-ftc-178286
3) Litecoindark. Nice atmosphere but 3% premine and $350k market cap make it a no go.
https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/ltcd-litecoindarkcom-scrypt-difficulty-shield-multipool-fast-760143
4) Bitshares. Obviously very popular and huge market cap but the real world value is unclear.

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.

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