....more to come - 2017 won't be boring! ;-)

I think that the most interesting announcements are still to come. 

Litecoin and dogecoin

Decred just dropped a new roadmap.  Impressive plans. https://forum.decred.org/threads/2017-decred-roadmap.4937/

Not profit in siscoin now, it's all about Bitbay

For me i just looking for altcoin that profitable to mine i will invest more miner if that altcoin will be profitable..
For now i just heard zec or eth still most profitable to mine.. and XMR also good to mine to make profit..
This only benefits that i need and nothing else.

Yes, That is your good idea . I'm  intending to look for  some good altcoins for investing but i'm newbie here so I have not much more about expreriences for altcoins so I will take care of ripple and steem and I'm aslo reading those coins.

If you are really particular about decentralised cryptocurrencies Ripple should not be in your list at all.

I would like to invest in decentralized cryptocurrencies which have innovative services which offer to end user something valuable. Already there are certain coins which have innovative concept which is really admirable and important for future technological adoptions.

I would like to take name of some coins as Iconomi, ripple, gulden, Steen etc..

i think this post was better for ANN topic, smells like marketing yours!

feel free to come back and quote this come April 1st and beyond bitches 

Roughly 1200 out of the 2639 BTC collected goes towards paying BTC transaction fees for 10 years in order to be the first coin secured by Bitcoin's hashrate through Delayed-POW.  It's interesting to watch KMD block hashes getting written to the Bitcoin blockchain here:

http://blockchain.info/address/1P3rU1Nk1pmc2BiWC8dEy9bZa1ZbMp5jfg

The BTC collected during ico is kept in a 2-of-3 multisignature address to make sure it gets spent on developing KMD.

Where is the money-grab part you are talking about?  He is grabbing money by working to increase the value of his KMD holdings?

I think Decred the best coin today.

Decred is a hidden gem that few people know about and ever fewer understand. Founded by Company0 (the btcsuite developers who are well respected in the bitcoin space), Decred seeks to solve many of the issues the bitcoin blockchain is currently facing, such as consensus and governance.

Decred has a unique codebase, written from scratch in Golang.

Decred is a Decentralized Autonomous Organization with self funding and governance built directly into its blockchain.

Currently, Decred has a very small market cap. It was randomly added to Poloniex in early 2016 and never saw a traditional entrance pump/dump.

Anyone that thinks the marketplaces in Bay, Sys, and Open Bazar is going to be an "ebay killer" is off their rockers. That's not gonna happen until the majority of people use crypto, and not even then, because ebay is likely to adapt. But that's not the point with these marketplaces. Although all of the above can find their niches as a marketplace, their importance is mostly as proof of concept. They are proof that decentralized markeplaces are possible. Their main function in the short/medium term is likely to be back-end, not front-end. Long term is yet to be determined, but I'd be surprised if we don't see this tech as one of the foundations for IOT amongst others.
All three of the above projects are pioners in this field, and are likely to get a first runner advantage. I still have BitBay as a favourite because it's the most decentralized project. Unlike Sys and Open Bazar it doesn't use escrow agents, but relies on double deposit escrow instead. Imo an escrow agent is a centralizing element and an obstacle to scaling. BitBay is also a broader tech because of it's smart contracts, and therefor easier to adapt to different use cases. As you might have guessed, I don't share your opinion on smart contracts. I believe they are just as important as the blockchain itself.

Edit: thx for the tip on decred cold staking. will look into it

yes i think monero will fall, as I saw him go up and bit by bit lucky that secures monero for the future

I think Decred has had cold staking for almost a year. And re: bitbay, waves, and syscoin, why would anyone want to buy these completely premined ICO ponzi tokens just to use a marketplace or smart contract? Openbazaar exists now, with shapeshift integrated, meaning you can use Bitcoin or most legitimate alts to shop on a marketplace that has, you know, actual products listed. And at this point it seems like no one is using smart contracts for anything, but they're coming for bitcoin on rootstock soon anyway.

Re: Komodo, just another jl777 ICO money grab scam, imo.

Komodo is one of the most innovative and ambitious ideas that will create real demand.  It has base-level Zero Knowledge anonymity copied from Zcash.  It is also the first ever coin secured by Bitcoin's hashrate through a new consensus mechanism called Delayed-POW.

You can see the Komodo DPOW nodes, "notary nodes", writing KMD block hashes to the Bitcoin blockchain here:

http://blockchain.info/address/1P3rU1Nk1pmc2BiWC8dEy9bZa1ZbMp5jfg

There is also the first decentralized exchange that uses atomic swaps and provides good liquidity in the works.  The Komodo notary nodes will be functioning as order-matchers for this DEX, and some of the nodes will be connected to centralized exchange api in order to provide liquidity if needed.

Easydex provides good decentralized liquidity for KMD trading pairs, so people can access it's anon functions without a central exchange.

I have picked Bitbay as a coin im investing heavliy in 2017. Trustless smart contracts. Cold staking (crypto 1st!) and a decentralised market alll about to be complete. Next it will be on a rolling peg (another crypto first)

 All this development and only has a MK of under $1m.  I'm banking on this jumping into a tp30 coin Easy and a MK of over $10m. Ether hasn't achieve anything like this yet and they have $50m & a whole team of developers!

People will move to coins with actual working tech rather than funny meme pointless coins. . . Why invest in namecoin which has nothing going for it and has no development going on when you can invest in coins like bitbay, syscoin waves etc! You like hedge funds looking at investing billions of dollars in the close future will care about funny dogefaced coins? They only invest on product not promises!

Ethereum, maidsafe, stratis are my 3 choices, wish good gains from these 3 coins. They will go up a lot in next year, they are very long term projects, holding strongly means plenty of money.

I will invest in some ICO in this year and will try to double my investment.
Will test my luck in some other ones.
