There are coins better than btc. They have more features, etc. But the truth is that 99% of people don't need that features. So, some other coin can surpass bitcoin only if something very bad will happen to btc.
I agree, I can't see another Alt coin taking over bitcoin either, BTC is very popular. It could happen in the future if bitcoin cannot cope with transaction volumes and another other coin whose popularity is also high is much better at handling the volume. I guess that's a challenge for the bitcoin core team.

xaurum and sia sound kind of useful/unique to me but I still don't know if I trust them...my research in altcoins has been slow, boring and frustrating, and I was wondering does anyone have any words to offer on altcoins that actually have useful, unique features and seem to be somewhat trustworthy.
I'm making 2200 usd a month after electric with 3300 mh of scrypt with LTC ...so I'd not lump that into your category
Wow. I'm surprised it's still that profitable
Catch is you have to have the machines....and that is kinda just dumb luck an a unicorn hunt.....I make no claim on know wth I'm doing.
Then again if you do have the luck since 2013 and 1.30 LTC being stubborn and holding it has worked well in the past.
What the heck I coulda got a Bass boat and it probably would have sunk anyway. Dumber things to spend my money on
but again mostly luck an NO new large scrypt miners for last 2 plus years from anyone besides knc in 2014 or so
Holding the LTC from that time is not as good as hold other coins such as Dash or Monero. The better recent coin is the ETH.
Don't disagree but locked into equipment scrypt and roi'd a while back before those coins existed. Like surfing a wave and a better wave comes along. Sorta have to go with the wave I started as long as it has not played out yet 😄
Already in Roi mode is key
STRATIS and OPAIR
STRATIS is a good one, but OPAIR is a bad one. I see some people accused OPAIR is a scam, and after I research on this coin, I think the accusation is very possible

Monero and litecoin is not shitcoin for the time being. I am not sure about the Ethereum. If one of them does not exist, it is a good coin.
Not sure about ETH ?
Which part ?
How about the part where he wound up somehow getting around 10 million dollars in coins.
then how he admitted to dumping his holdings on you all.
About a million dollars worth (he admitted to)
What part of that were you not sure on ?
You all would not know a scam even if your pockets were empty (of FIAT)
and all you had was a wallet full of of delisted "coins". ROFL
I think it is good for the Vitalik to dump the ETC to the people who want to support the ETC so the overhang is cleared.
I love your criteria here with all the replies..
It's like being asked what hockey player do you want on your team ?
And you pick Jim Slockney because... he has a wicked beard bro !
..rather than looking at his abilities or physical build etc.
Oh he was on the LA Kings so we'll take 'em.
Why ? I don't know.. if LA wanted him we want him.
Just a shit-fuck-ton o' broken logic round these parts
Coin submission #3,201 ?
Is it legit ? Fair ?
What does it offer over Bitcoin ?
Can it compete with Bitcoin ?
Want kind of real adoption does it have ?
Who made it and are they honest ?
How old is the coin ?
Is the coin legal ?
What other coins have the dev's made ?
How much were the dev's paid ?
Was the market cap manipulated ?
How is the coins security track record ?
How many coins in total are there ?
Is it an ICO coin ?
Is the coin premined ?
What kind of long range plans does it have ?
What level of world adoption has it achieved or hopes to achieve ?
ya but but but Speotnik i madez liek 1.2 BTC's profiTz on Poloniex man liekomgbbq HOLyfUCK yo !!!!111

The more the merrier. May the best one win.
ETH have millions USD in background and if the price will go up, you can make good profit. Plus you can also try ETH mining. Regarding others altcoins - currently only Doge is more or less popular. 
This coin I will vouch for Factum. The only coin with know media hype behind and is delivering on her promises. Just wait and see
It's not that alts are bad, it's that the motivation behind making altcoins these days is for a profit vehicle, not to bring innovation to the space. Some of the functionality proposed.by new coins is amazing. But, we never get to see it because said innovative coin usually goes down in a blaze of scam 6 months after launch.
Faircoin is a strong choice, given its crew as well as the userbase and merchants that use it.

That is right. There are two block chains of the Ethereum and one hashing rate is just 15% of the other, that one could be attacked.

there are only a couple of coins that start as shitcoins even from the beginning of the launch but I can say this with confidence that apart from those few coins no other coins "start" as a shitcoin.
I don't buy that. there are tons that are out and out scams from the start. they might offer up something that works but that's only to con more money out of people. all this ico crap is very hard to resist considering how stupid and greedy a lot of people on here are.

so the only solution for us is to stick to bitcoin, and 2-3 of the old altcoins and look at all the new ones as a temporary investment to make a quick money.

There are coins with solid devs but the problem is that no one really cares about that. They're all out for a pump.
Essentially, how's that different for bitcoin (except maybe that one is expecting the "pump" to be "moon" "in a few years") ?
It ain't. But while you're waiting for the pump, which may never come at this rate, at least you can spend it and use it. you can also count on there not being a dev waiting to exit scam or carry out the dump from hell. bitcoin's setup is a long way from ideal but at least there are a few checks and balances.
