I have created the above poll in order to find out which coins are most popular. Not all coins will get into the book i am writing. I want to the community to have a voice as concerns the content (50 coins only in the book) 
I'm going to put my vote here for NXT.
This is gonna annoy some people, but most altcoins have almost no interesting or novel features. We have got to a stage where the only real differences are the number of coins to be issued and whether u have a panda or a penguin as mascot. Miners mostly don't even care about what they mine, as long as the diff is low.
NXT is not based on any existing code, and is building an insanely innovative financial eco-system.
Think Mastercoin/Ethereum/Ripple killer.....well worthy of a couple of pages in your book.
Heres 2000 pages to start u off:

I wonder why Kittehcoin has most votes 
MINT
It was nice idea, until i read this:
"One can vote for their favourite coin by donating a small amount of BTC"
"One can vote for their favourite coin by donating a small amount of BTC"
I didnt say that the price was driven by infrastructure, I said that infrastructure is a tangible asset which ensures a sustainable value. This value can be at a much lower rate as the current price but it will save those coins with infrastructure from disappearing after pump & dumps because there reasons to hold. With Quark many people invested in community projects and they are more likely to stick with the community then it is the case with coins where people just invested in the coin itself - see Pandacoin.
What coins do you hold and why? To make money or to work for the prospect of a different financial order?

That's agreeable...
I only "hold" Bitcoin.. everything else, I trade. I'm in this both for the prospect of financial advancement and to make money - as we all are I'd assume?
Don´t want to wave the Quark banner but you are contradicting yourself. On the one hand you say that cryptocurrencies can´t be undervalued on the other hand you call Quark a dead project - which is saying that it is overvalued/has 0 value. The whole cryptoscene is dominated by chit-chat and self-fulfilling prophecies and you are just another example like the guy who says that Quark is undervalued.
Beyond that it is not true that cryptocurrencies have no tangible assets. Cryptocurrencies do not exist in empty space, they have (or haven´t) infrastructure that supports their use. The value of Bitcoin e.g. is founded mostly on the network, of the exchanges that list it, the apps that were written for it, even this forum contributes to a sustainable value of Bitcoin. Same goes with every other Altcoin. If your coin is intended to pump and dump only, like Pandacoin, you have mostly anything but trade. But there are many coin - and Quark is one of them - where you can see people actually working for the coin and developing cool projects. This, of course, doesn´t mean that this will be reflected in the price shortterm, but it will long term.
Erm, so you're saying that this "infrastructure" is what's driving the price of Bitcoin?... LOL, if that was the case then the price of Bitcoin would be much lower than it is now... what with the ever present specter of a 51% attack hovering over this "infrastructure" you speak of.
The first major Boom in the price of Bitcoin was brought about largely as a result of the Bank run in Cyprus - there may have been other catalysts, but overall it was that Bank run that took us to 1.2K.
Since then, the market has been driven by speculation in it's most potent form. China makes a few redundant statements, the weak hands sell their coins = the price falls.... GOX wont release our coins? = the price falls.... Oh, Walmart is now accepting Bitcoin?? = to the moon!... Sadly, no one cares about the bitcoin "infrastructure"..
And Quark is the most pathetic thing I've seen thus far... Dead in the waters!
There are many pathetic things in the altcoin community, with coin hating being the most pathetic.
You obviously didnt get the point of my argument. I didnt say that the price was driven by infrastructure, I said that infrastructure is a tangible asset which ensures a sustainable value. This value can be at a much lower rate as the current price but it will save those coins with infrastructure from disappearing after pump & dumps because there reasons to hold. With Quark many people invested in community projects and they are more likely to stick with the community then it is the case with coins where people just invested in the coin itself - see Pandacoin.

Run away leaders are Goldcoin, Quark and Fedoracoin (TIPS)
Yeah but are they worth writing about?

This is the preliminary section to Zetacoin:
So basically this book is a compendium of worthless trivia that I could easily find here for free, devoid of any humor or insightful commentary? I at least hope you get an editor.
It will have more insights than just pure specs and stats. Wait and see. I am very competent and capable
Almost all of these altcoins don't need 2 pages. All they need is "cloned Bitcoin/Litecoin source, changed a few numbers".
Haha, same thought here.
We need competition

just get in touch is you want clean vectors of our logo - happy to provide them (also we will be uploading them in a section on our site www.qrk.cc) , good opportunity to also talk about how the monetary reform group got involve with Quark with Bill Still etc. (in the book) BIll may be attending the Crypto convention in New York with Sean Young the Hollywood Actress that played in "Bladerunner" - that would be cool.
unconfirmed at this time -
we will be including a "accept Quark" section where we can put logos and create a list of the growing number of businesses accepting Quark -
https://pock.io/ will be going live with Quark soon - : D
