I was just wondering something. PANDA, MAX, both blew up in *very* short order. Has there been a successful new altcoin launched since the first of the year, or is this par for the course? Of course, both panda and max had egotistical "masterminds" selling snake oil backing them, but I don't know if that is normal or not, either. In the meantime, I'm sitting here at 187Kh, mining and holding doge since panda blew up, since it at least is getting some pop culture buzz. It will be May before I can think about replacing my 650 Ti boost, so maybe worrying about what to mine right now is moot.
I'd say mine yacoin, hold or sell some, mine qqcoin?
Vertcoin looks promising as well, all the true scrypt asic proof coins might do well (ultracoin for instance is pretty cool).
