Nice thread

I'd choose Gridcoin, because I find the mining concept quite useful: it solves block by contributing to BOINC (Berkeley Open Infrastructure for Network Computing), which contributes considerably to science. It's a neat way to find another positive use for a coin's hashpower.

Primecoin

Unique algo that actually has some scientific use.

Yup same here, although it's #17 on Coinmarketcap.com so it still seems to be in demand.

Another one I forgot to mention is Huntercoin which was the first human-mineable altcoin that's also a game. It's #157 on Coinmarketcap.com right now and while I don't have any coins (yet), it's definitely a unique and interesting altcoin. Shame the developer died though.

myriadcoin,

multi algo PoW is the only way to keep it(securing the blockchain) decentralized, bitcoin will eventually be in control of a few companies that control huge mining facilities. this is the one coin that really Everyone can mine!

fluttercoin

seems pretty cool with a new way of securing the network

Share them.

I have always liked some of the more quirky altcoins that go about doing things a bit differently from everyone else and/or bring something new to the table feature-wise. Premine (PMC) is one of those. The entire coin supply was premined and given away as an experiment to see how the Bitcoin ecosystem might look like in 2140. The network is sustained by miners who only get transaction fees. Interestingly, it also helped uncover a bug in the Bitcoin code that would have kept on generating coins past 2140. Datacoin (DTC) is another coin I like because it's the first and only crypto to emphasize the file storage abilities of the blockchain.
