Litecoin=Silver
Namecoin= Bronze
42coin=Platinum?
These are new coins and may decline. With the exception of Doge the older ones may be more interesting as a long term investement: Franko, Fastcoin, Megacoin..
And 42coin, is a quite well premined coin:10000 blocks (5 full day premined). You can see the issue in the sources:
int64 nSubsidy = 0.000042 * COIN;
....
if(nHeight == 1)
{
nSubsidy = 0.42 * COIN;
}
This one is quite useless...
looking at the developer's post history he defined Instamining and I presumed he defined a way to present it which I figured would make for better early distribution, I gather you feel it wont fly because he has 10,000 blocks of premined coins under his belt.
Premined Coins are an Issue as long they are "under his belt" like he said.
But if there would be transperency about how much is for promotion and how
much will stay "under his belt".
At that point the developers can show us how much transperency they show to public and specially to the supporters of 42coin?
they do a lot for promotion. i get some coins for promotion too and i will use the to promote the coin in Germany. We are on a early state of the coin. just wait and promote the coin if you believe in it. i do belive in it...
