Is there some kind of community agreement on what the best alt coin investment would be in 2014?  I would love to hear that instead of 500 opinions?  Much appreciated.

You wouldn't get a concrete answer as most people have agendas and are often peddling their bagholder coins with $5+ million capitalization.  A lot of people promoting their $hitcoin have 5%+ stakes in them.

In the future any coin can be 100% anon since this is all copy and paste.

But really, in the future only the Feds will have the option to use 100% anon.

Or do you guys think they're replacing anon paper cash with 100% Trackable crypto so they can empower the people?  Haha!

The cool thing about XC is, that in the future it will be 100% anonymous but it will be an option if you want it to be or not, you will be able to switch between annon and non-annon, anyways the government would need a good reason to make it illegal, i don't see them having a good enough reason, there not supposed to spy on us but they do, if they make something that makes it hard to spy on us illegal it's fairly obvious too everyone the only reason they did it was because they want to snoop, they could use "terrorists will use it" line or child pornographers or drug dealers, but there are things like military grade cell phones that are encrypted and fairly untraceable, TOR etc they can already use and there not illegal, hey lets make the US dollar illegal shit loads of child pornographers, drug dealers and terrorists use that and handing someone a suitcase of money is untraceable unless your under surveillance , plus why do we let those scumbags run our lives anyway? if they try to make anonymous crypto illegal lets just riot.

Well you need a lot of trust in this community.  An individual doesn't have the time to download every wallet + accompanying research and see which ones are scams or not.

If I compare the things from the Dark community with the XC community, then given all the rhetoric and facts I have seen I would buy XC over Dark. 

The real question is actually how much faith do you have in these anonymity-rhetoric coins.  I think crypto currencies will be worth $1 - $2 trillion in a decade but how much of that will be dedicated anonymity coins and how legal will they be?

In my opinion, almost never the newer ones. They pop up every day with so many claimed features that haven't been put to the test. The older grandfather altcoins are more likely to succeed imo.


I totally agree.  People forget this isn't just money but also technology and for tech time testing is a must have.

If BitShares X market pegs prove to work, I believe its going to change the world.  It may well give Bitcoins marketcap a run for its money.

As of right now, the bitAsset markets are in testing phase.  The BitShares X chain is live and you can trade BTSX but bitAsset market functionality has not been turned on yet.  The current price reflects this fact, and could be the best deal your going to see this year.  It comes down to, is it going to work or not.

So, the best investment for 2014? If BitShares X works, there's no comparison in my mind. 

Of course I'd suggest you do your own research and don't take my word for it.

This is a simple point which everyone seems to completely miss.

Even if this were true, it wouldn't threaten Bitcoin in any way given it's all open source which means copy and paste.  Bitcoin has momentum, critical mass,  mass adoption etc which is very hard to overcome.  Any new innovation will simply be taken by Bitcoin if it's worth taking. 

Alt coins are nothing more than test mules unless they actually have must have features which cannot be taken by Bitcoin.  That said, no alt will compete with BTC just csuse it has great new features - just look at all other coins which had real features to offer - nothing more than a flash in the pan.
and i have seen nothing that has offered anything but vaporware, lots of promises, no delivery, and when they have delivered, it almost never works, that's what is different about XC, they over deliver, it works, and always earlier or on time, nothing compares...

Yeah but has BTC made any improvements in the last 4 years NO! so i don't see that changing anytime soon, plus it's slow as all shit, and the same thing could be said for Myspace they could off done what facebook did, but did they NO..XC is 3 months old and already better then any crypto out there,mass adoption doesn't happen over night, and it will be open source but on a delayed timeline so they won't be able to just copy and paste, it's also built from the ground up and designed for mobile devices, it's very diffrent to BTC, BTC is myspace..XC is facebook..get used to it.

Exactly this.  Market functionality is currently being tested in dry run 12, https://bitsharestalk.org/index.php?topic=6798.0 

I do not understand why people are still talking about and pushing other coins which bring zero innovation beyond btc!
read 2 posts up and tell me that's not innovation.....way more innovative then anything i have seen in crypto,,no offence that includes Bitshares.

Let's learn about XC and why it blows it's competitors including BTC out of the water hands down...( this was mostly copied from the XC website because it explains it best)

Total coins:
5.5 Million
Premine: 125k
Block Times: 90 Seconds
POS interest: 3.33% per year
Min stake time: 8 hours
Max Stake time: 30 Days

TECHNOLOGY

The XC network is made up of two parts: (1) the standard XC network, made up of computers running the XC App, and (2) the anonymous XC network, which is run by XC Nodes.  All apps that are open and connected to the network while holding coins are a part of the standard XC network.  This network is very similar to what other cryptocurrencies currently use.

 The XC anonymous network, on the other hand, is something entirely different.  It can be accessed from any XC App, but if a user designates a transaction to be sent anonymously, it is processed by the XC Nodes which make up the anonymizing portion of the network.  Any XC App can be set up to run as an XC Node, as long as it meets certain criteria

no bloat

XC was designed from the ground up to be compatible with mobile devices. Currently, there are several projects that have an anonymizing strategy that results in an unworkable blockchain bloat problem, which will only be compounded if they are ever introduced to mobile platforms.  Technologies like ring signatures and zero-knowledge proofs fall into this category and currently lack a way of avoiding this major setback.  XCurrency is able to use standard transactions, but multi-path then achieves an extremely high level of privacy combined with a high degree of prunability.  This allows XC to avoid blockchain bloat, even with full mobile integration.

decentralized

Because every XC App can function as an XC Node, this allows XC to avoid what Bitcoin core developer Gregory Maxwell has recently called a security “chokepoint” in some other coins’ use of semi-centralized nodes to forward transactions.  Unlike most other anonymous strategies, XC avoids the need to hold a very large amount of coins in order for an XC Node to function.  This is made possible due to the small, random transaction sizes of XC’s multi-path architecture.  The smaller capital requirement to run an XC Node benefits the XC network by allowing more XC Nodes to exist, increasing the overall efficiency and effectiveness of the anonymous network.

network security

XC uses multi-sig and end-to-end message encryption. This solution improves upon the more common practice of simply forwarding transactions, which can be problematic because malicious actors can steal transactions instead of forwarding them.  Another issue resolved by the XC approach is XC Nodes cannot snoop on the broadcasting system and publish the identities of senders and receivers.  This further adds to XC's security.

not just for payments

From the onset, XC was designed to take advantage of Blockchain 2.0 architecture. This makes implementations such as secure messaging, secure chatting, and decentralized cloud storage possible. XC’s comprehensive approach to incorporating current and trending technologies provides a stable platform on which to implement exciting new ideas and features in the future. The XC community has already seen evidence of this forward planning in the efficiency with which changes can be made.

 XC was built for the future. While it successfully implements the imperative state of the art technologies that are expected of a cryptocurrency today, the foundation has been laid for even bigger things to come.

Near future (Coming months all of this will be implemented Most probably by the end of the year, Brace yourselves.)

XC Mobile

Currently in progress is the fully featured XC mobile wallet/app.  This app for smartphones will be made available for both iOS and Android operating systems.  Users will be able to earn interest on the go, made possible thanks to XC’s adaptive design.  XC is also working on the technology to allow the purchase of XCurrency directly through the mobile app – this will add ease-of-use for those with less tech knowledge, and will make reloading with XCurrency easier than ever.

Decentralized Cloud Storage

The incorporation of Blockchain 2.0 architecture into the XC framework allows for a broad range of future developments.  One area being looked into by the XC team is the use of the XC blockchain for decentralized cloud storage.  This storage could be utilized by individuals, businesses, or even political campaigns.  The ability to safely store and transfer important documents, without fear of disclosure to third parties, is something that a diverse group of people could benefit from.  XC is taking steps to make this feature a reality.

Payment Networks

As the XCurrency base is further developed, adding XCurrency to an existing payment network, such as the Visa network, will be a number one priority.  Imagine XC being as easy to use as a credit card, but without the need for the actual card, since XC will be fully functional on any mobile device.  This integration into any one of the larger payment networks will allow XC to be utilized at millions of point of sale locations across the globe.  It will also open the door for utilization with ATM’s, otherwise known as cash machines in some countries.  Combined with the ability to reload your mobile app with XCurrency at the click of a button, this will be the premier step toward bringing XC before the masses as a usable, functional, flexible, and robust currency alternative.

NFC Payments

A project that’s been in the works for years, near field communication (NFC) payment technology is starting to gain mass adoption and acceptance as a simpler, faster, and more secure way to make payments at point of sale locations.  With the development of XC’s mobile app, the timing for such an acceptance of NFC technology by the general population couldn’t have been better.  Some of the key benefits associated with utilization of NFC technology in conjunction with XC:

Blockchain 2.0 Apps

XCurrency is built on Blockchain 2.0, a flexible digital platform which allows easy integration for current and future XC applications.  A few examples of upcoming applications would include the use of the XC App for encrypted messaging and chat, and the use of the XC blockchain for decentralized cloud storage.  These are just the start; the potential to build upon the XC platform is limitless.  With the Blockchain 2.0 architecture already in place, the blockchain for XCurrency is like a foundation awaiting the actual building to be erected.  Stay tuned to see what the XCurrency team has planned, and as always, if you have a great idea that you would like to see implemented, by all means contact us and we’ll take a more detailed look.

Web 3.0 Development

Web 3.0 represents the evolution of the World Wide Web.  Poised to make the internet fully and provably secure against identity theft, fraud, and spying,  Web 3.0 is a fundamental change in the architecture of the Internet. XCurrency’s platform approach incorporates Web 3.0 concepts, like decentralization and appropriately secure protocols for various types of information. As XC’s Blockchain 2.0 applications grow in number, XC will increasingly become a fundamental building block of Web 3.0.

Proof of Blockchain

Proof of Blockchain (PoBC) is such new technology, that very few understand it.  Invented by Jasinlee, one of XC’s developers, PoBC will essentially allow blockchains to talk to each other.  At this point, PoBC is a revolutionary concept that, if successfully implemented, will become an incredibly powerful facet of the XCurrency project, further increasing privacy and reducing blockchain size.  PoBC is not going to be implemented in the immediate future due to the enormous amount of work required to code and implement it, (and there are more immediate goals, as outlined in the XC roadmap), but keep an eye out for announcements regarding PoBC, and the positive impacts that PoBC may have on XC’s future.

I've been sitting on Redd for ages.  It's technically a 1.0 coin which is trying to build a presence on Reddit.  As for its' recent rebound I think that was due to the stale alternate environment and people looking to pump something.  Redd as we speak lost $1 million in capitalization, presumably because the people who were pumping it have now moved onto Stellar.

The problem with this thread that most of the coins mentioned are scams or pumps.  There's only a few genuine coins with any long term prospect attached to them.


Good for you for picking up on RDD when it was languishing. I wish I were still there, but I just kept wandering off reservation after reservation. Smiley

What is the deal with RDD? They only have a unique wallet, anything else?

CAPTcoin is really looking good this year and here's why:

  • The dev isn't using a new account and has been around for quite a while.
  • New distribution method that is FAIR for EVERYONE
  • Coins are going for super cheap right now, so buy them before they hit the major exchanges!
  • Rewards for distributing coins are the highest they are gonna be, so I would suggest getting them now!
  • 30% PoS annually.
  • The dev has no hidden premine. He is working to get the coins just like the rest of us, aside from the usual games and donations

Seriously guys, you have no excuse not to get some of these. Nobody is limited by lack of equipment.

BTW, use the link in my sig to gain a 5% boost on all your coin earnings (and help me out a bit too Grin Grin).

CAPTcoin's value has already raised more than 300% since I posted this. It's not stopping till at least the end of the distribution phase. Get some now before it ends!!
