What features make a successful altcoin?

Attention, both good and bad. The difference between a successful coin and a failed coin is attention. If your coin gets attention, it will succeed. If your coin doesn't get attention, it will fail. All other matters are of secondary importance.

So you think Dogecoin will succeed?  There's lots of attention there.  Even I have a soft spot for it.

There are many altcoins now. Some come and go, some stay. Some are pumped and dumped and some are slowly decreasing in price with lack of news and activity.

What features make a successful altcoin?

Please share your opinions!

Just some topics...

* Is a single dev better than a group of developers?
* Should the dev post every day or should he work on the features?
* Do tasks for community (like let's vote for my coin, come on guys, just 100 votes left... or perhaps logo contest) improve the coin perception or make it worse?
* POW or POS?
* Which algo for POW?
* Is faucet and games a good thing or nobody cares?
* Wallet improvements [like private messaging and exchange integration] or simple wallet and lots of extra services?
* Are wallets for mobile devices important? Cloud wallets?
* Are whales good or bad?
* Is pumping [usually followed by dumping] good or bad?
* Integration with payment systems - is it useful or nobody cares and uses BTC anyways?
* Which is a good exchange? Most shoot for Cryptsy, while others think it is a altcoin grave.
* Proof Of Developer and the like, is it important?
* Is premine good?
* Ninja-launch or 1 month in advance PRE-ANN?
* Should the dev team try to stabilize the price, or it's up to investors?
* Should the coin discussion be on the btctalk thrad, or should the coin create its own forum?

Please post whatever you think on this matter, I hope it will be an interesting topic...

Thanks!

Stop.  Just stop.  We don't need any more of these likely failed from the beginning projects built by amateurs.

If you really want to do it.  Who are you,  and who is your team?  Who is your backer/s?

I think the community should start asking these questions now.  No more of these anonymous dev Satoshi wannabe bullshit.
