Fundamentals. What does it do, what do the differences from bitcoin really mean?

Transaction speed can't be beat. Bitcoin transfers happen at the speed of the internet, doesn't go faster than that so just forget anything to do with confirmation times, it's an irrelevant argument.

Store of value. Don't know how this could be improved on but I have yet to see anyone even try to make an argument in favor of an alt.

Currency. Bitcoin is already more divisible than anyone needs at current rates and even at one million a satoshi will be one cent. Transfer fees are so insignificant that it is hardly a reason to switch to another coin without some other large improvement.

Those are the important ones. The rest is just fluff.

It's not wasted. Miners get money for their electricity and hardware and it's a barrier for anyone wanting to take over the network. Feature, not bug. And I said a meaningful way.

What is the most important part to look for in New coins

Vertcoin

Well that does have the benefit of being potentially something different, not sure of the value of the collateral though.  Still kudos for trying.

Virtual Mining Coin

We invested a lot of time in this project, because we want to create something better.
Many altcoins exist in the world, and after a few weeks, the value of most of them is 0. The value of the VMC never will be 0 because the GHS backed by collateral.

This coin has a collateral security.

Whitecoin. Holy cow is all I have to say. I'm going in more!

Best investments right now: CGB, GDC, GME, DBL, XPM

They are all bargains and momentum for these are pointing upwards.

just to say one: no wasted energy.

really, check it-->https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/ann-communitycoin-comm-pure-pos-original-comm-multipools-coming-soon-558319

community is real active and there will be an other giveaway soon!

Which does what? How is it better than bitcoin in even one meaningful way?

Look into communitycoin, it's a fairly distributed PoS coin.

Darkcoin ftw... the non alt can't see my wallet coin.

So, miners lose out on profits. Thus it is less attractive to miners, they will choose something else and the network strength will suffer for it. How is it a better store of value, currency, or means of value transfer than bitcoin to compensate for this weakness?

2 percent of all  coins mined goes directly to a wallet controlled by the non-profit organiazation, 'the einsteinium foundation'. This coins are to be donated to a project furthering science. Every month the community sends in suggestion on which project they would like to fund. The foundation chooses some and then the community votes upon it. Each donation (and mining period) is split into 'epochs' which last aproximately a month. Last and first donation went to a researcher at yale.

So barely any other coins are run by NPOs and as transparent as EMC2. Also emc2 is, i think, the only coin which kind of has that 'tax' built into the code to gather the 2 percent of mined coins. It also has a neat 'wormhole' feature in which once an epoch, the block reward, is increased for a period of time.

It has been steady at around 600 sat for a little bit now.

Basically, imagine if it reaches 1 cent, and the donations get into the 10,000 dollar range. then maybe a little publicity, and then it happens to get to 10 cents. Once donations start getting around 50,000 or so dollar publicity should seriously increase. Which should cause a lot of people to want in.

I'm in it for long term. It is not going to go up like BC, WC, or anything that goes up 10 times in one day. But it def is worth more then 600 sat...

This is good advice, everyone will always pump their latest altcoin.  If you want to play that game you have to mine a new coin and dump it as soon as it hits an exchange.  Most coins go almost straight down after getting listed.  

I'd look for two things, first some real innovation over Bitcoin in the protocol of the coin itself.  Second, some infrastructure around the coin so it can actually be used.  Doge started as a joke, so it was a no for the first criteria but it built a community pretty quick.  It will be interesting to see if its stunts can overcome its core problem of Too Many Coins (TM).

Could some of you alt-fools explain a bit about why your pump of choice is worth real money.

One of the best coins I have seen in a long time. Competent devs and escrow available.

Einsteinium. The team behind it is officialy a non-profit organiation now. The donation for the second epoch is being decided upon now as well.
