Megacoin and CGB are the best bets. You won't likely double your money in Bitcoin anytime soon, but you could easily quadruple it in MΣC or CGB in the very near future.

How about Anoncoin? Anoncoin beats Bitcoin if you like to be anonymous and that is important in deepweb where quite a big part of virtual currency is traded.

I 2nd that! still not as innovative to take over bitcoin but imo one of the better contenders to take a roll as 3rd or 4th place in the grand scheme of things. At least for the time being

That kind of innovation is needed.

There's plenty of fast coins. If you believe in them go grab some.

I don't think LTC is fast enough to distinguish itself from BTC in the long run.

You can't have fast (read sub 10s confirms) transaction AND them be reliable with the architecture that all these alts use, BitCoins architecture....it doesn't allow it as its the wrong model.

Consumers don't want innovation (not that gld aint working on that part), only a small niche crowd of crypto nerds wants innovation.


Even cryptonerds need to decide which coins they will support and which they will shun.  Grin

Innovation like faster payments, will make an alt-coin usable at a place like McDonalds.

That kind of innovation is needed.

Well that's the thing with GLD, even with it's bad rap still holding a good market cap. with no foundation, many exchanges or anything crazy just pure inertia to the name gold coin. some how manage to still relevant.

 Undecided   

Hmmm.. I think GLD will be trampled by the real contenders soon. Consumers will want something innovative.

Right now it's speculators keeping GLD price high, hoping for consumer adoption in the near future.

Well. I guess our Android app, paper wallet, and innovative 51% attack defense is chopped liver.  Tongue


An Android app will not make or break a coin.  Roll Eyes

Nor will a paper wallet.




51% defense sounds nice, but don't other coins have that too? Anyone else care to weigh in?

Some good advice here.

digitalcoin (DCG) - your checking account with some interest over time. digitalcoin could become very spendable in the near future.

CryptoGenicBullion (CGB) - your high-interest savings account or even your very own bank vault.

These are two very different coins with strong and growing community support. Hedging both of these coins now is unlikely to be a bad decision in a year to two years time. However, there are other good choices and you should spread your portfolio.

Personally, I would advise people to avoid goldcoin. I've considered its reward structure and future position in the market place and its hopeless. Its a real shame that such a good name for a coin has been adopted by this one. http://cryptolife.net/goldcoin-the-scam-that-keeps-on-giving/

Peercoin, Primecoin, Litecoin and Securecoin are all good coins.

eMunie is going to be big.

I'd be more of a fan of Worldcoin, but I just prefer digitalcoin. Smiley

Oh, and don't overlook Anoncoin !


Wow, another person who thinks Goldcoin is dodgy  Undecided

Glad to know I'm not the only one.

When I tried asking them questions about that article on their thread, they deleted my post!

To answer the question of the OP, would depend on what your criteria is for
"best" alt coin. (after btc, ltc)

For myself, as a long term investor, I am looking for alt coins that have the following;
- good mining community support
- an active and transparent development team
- listed in top 20 in market cap evaluafion
- has not been pre mined or insta mined
- brings some innovative features
- is not trying to be just another pump and dump coin

So far the only coin that meets my criteria is DGC, digital coin.

- Not yet convinced by pos, proof of stake coins. PPC and others.
- Leery of coins that have got on exchanges through bribery, like novacoin
- Especially leery of all coins that have huge premines and instamines,
(the majority of alt coins, unfortunately)
- Why a corrupt and inept coin like FTC is still listed on exchanges like btc-e is a testament to
how  dubious those exchanges really are.

My 2 virtual cents... Smiley

What do you think about Emunie? Presale is starting tomorrow right? Should I invest like 500? And maybe 500 or 1000 later if they're going up?

Or should I rather go with CGB?

Anyone?
