Topic: Currently 1,610 coins/tokens...how are you finding good coins? (Read 187 times)
There is much more than 1610 coins, and I think miners know that best! There are tens of coins every day released on various pools to be mined and 1 in 100 is a legit coin! And when you find that one there can be some time before it get listed on CMC.

yes there are so many altcoins. and unfortunately more than 90 percent of them are craps without any infrastructure and have very weak team. i follow some known social media accounts and i follow some telegram groups to know about good altcoins.
Been in hiatus for a while...maybe it is time to check/hunt for coins to add in my portfolio again...prices are quite attractive these past weeks. 
With 1,610 coins & tokens (and rising), how are you finding good or promising new coins?
It is becoming increasingly difficult, too many projects are popping up daily. In the "old time" (2 years ago) it was enough to check the ANN forum here, but now this place has become too messy and chaotic for that purpose.I sometimes check websites that compare ICOs or coins or stumble just by chance on sth that somebody mentions in the forum. Reading a lot helps
While this is true, it is also getting increasingly difficult to filter facts/truth from bad information. There are so many conflicting information out there. The more I read, the more confused I get sometimes.
I think the portfolio is only about 20-30 coins just enough to divide the risk and enough to manage the investments. If the number of coin is larger, it will be difficult to manage capital fluctuations

I usually take a research about their products, circulating supply, total supply and listing on exchanges. Potentials coin/tokens usually listed on small exchanges at 1st, its a chance to buy more and hodl until it be listed on big exchanges.
For the worth of holding and big return in long-term, i really care about circulating supply and total supply. From it, I can calculate market cap and predict price of each coin.
Focus on coins/tokens that have small circulating supply give you high chance of getting more profit.
At the moment, I focus on $LIVE, $ONION and $ICX for end of this year, hope I will make profit.

The simplest is to look at the coin's demand and its capabilities. There are indicators of capitalization and volume of trades, but it is better to take the top coins at once and not think how many of them. In addition, there are now discussions of a maximum of 50 coins that any investor has, that's worth a look too. But all the same to each his own.
You need to spend a good amount of time reading about new coins that are launched here. Community projects with real new tech behind them are the most interesting to me. If they start with a large airdrop that's also a good sign. Look at TWIST a bit, this is a example of a growing relatively new coin. Ah, and forget ETH tokens, look for innovation not copycats.
Honestly with the amount of coins coming out everyday it would be impossible to know about them all. That is why I am currently only in the cryptos that I understand and know from last year. Also if you wanted to know the scope of all the coins in this space, it would be beyond a full time job. You would need a team to give you notes and most people don't have this luxury available.
I generally join telegram accounts of newer projects and follow news. For older ones I follow their blogs, medium accounts etc. so I can be informed. Good coins stay hardly unidentified so I try to buy earlier.
Buy NEO, Waves, Grft, Qtum, Bloom 
Lol, why? Do you think that someone will buy these coins just because you named them without any reason?
It is very hard to find some good coins or tokens in these times, because the market is flooded with coins that are totally useless and the most new people that come into crypto don't know where they should invest. I always take a look at the team behind the projects and I also watch some social pages for activity and progress.
I used to spend countless hours researching each coin and focusing on a few but it became unsustainable with new coins sprouting as fast as they do. I used to focus on the;
1. Project/idea
2. Team (dev, marketing, owner/supporter)
3. Favorable news/reviews
4. Market support
5. Exchanges it is listed on
6. Collaborations
I was over diversified and used to hold 35-40 coins, after consolidating, it is now down to 21. It will fluctuate (up or down) depending on me finding good new coins. My target is now is about half my old portfolio... 15-20 coins.
Good strategy. I have similar. I also plan to reduce the number of coins to at least 10. 1. Project/idea

Why should we rely only on 1600 coins / tokens from the coinmarket? There are many more than this number, just doing searches on rank websites masternodes we find new or different currencies. Regarding the top 6 mentioned, only with the first item can we have a good base of the coin or design your future.
To my point, there is just too many now that it is so hard to track. I chose CMC because it is the most reliable list for me. I have no time to go looking for more coins outside CMC to be honest...can't even check their new coins now. :O
I used to go through coinmarketcap from rank 200 onwards and do a quick check of each website when I have time.
It is true that with so many new coins coming out, it is time consuming to research for new coins with potential.

always have updates and innovations, developers are always active and discuss in social media. the last point has a real product and we have felt the benefits, such as ethereum (smart contract), binance coins (exchange) and others.

That's true that top coins are the safest bet for trading or investing, although also have big volatility depending on bitcoin movements. But I'm rather looking for those low cap gems (around $5M - $20M) that have potential and room for huge gains. If this kind of coin move up to top 50 gains are amazing - big risk, big reward.
This is smart strategy too, I may have try it.

I rarely "hunt" for new coins nowadays...I let them show up instead (near or in top 100 with decent community support). I may miss the max gain but it seems safer this way.

I'm just looking for top 20 from coinmarketcap for trading. Sometimes trade only based on technical analysis even don't know what technology behind the coin. If I looking for long-term investment than top 50 and I do full research: team, product etc.
