FRK (franko)   - great and fair.
FST  (fast)        - very fast and reliable.
WDC                 - Well known
MEC                  - idem.
DBL                   - great coin.
...

These above are good coins and fair.

No good deed goes unpunished
CASH coin is bringing something new, technically unexploitable with difficulty drop scams.

But it makes it un-interesting for auto-switching profit hunter pools as their payout reduces in line with everyone else's right away.

This is a waste of a post.  People are going to "talk their book".  By pure metrics LTC has the most utility in that next to BTC it is most accepted my merchants for transactions (not exchanges).  The next is FTC and then it falls off a cliff.

http://coinmarketcap.com/mineable.html

it goes btc, ltc, ppc, doge. ftc is 8th.

and doge was 3rd place, but fell back to 4th. doge climb so fast. wow. to the moon.

edit:

i see what you mean by "cliffs" - cliff #1: bitcoin. drops to cliiff #2 litecoin. then drops to cliff #3: peercoin & dogecoin. then another cliff.

darkcoin is nothing

Darkcoin is one of the best coins there is from a technical standpoint.  It's only problem is that it's name and function may prohibit it to a small market cap labeled as a drug dealer coin or something.

That same quality might also elevate it to high market cap by the same users.  After all, Satoshi didn't invent Bitcoin.  Bitcoin was useless.  Ross Ulbricht invented Bitcoin.

Also, I'm not sure if people have rocks for brains in these threads because I rarely see anyone ever talking about economic models.  Many coins have identical models, some are a lot different.  Cashcoin probably has the best economic model I've seen on a coin so far.  If anyone thinks there's a better one, name it, because I haven't seen it.  

No, I don't consider Freicoin viable, because people have the freedom to choose something that will give them more profit, so why bother with that?

NXT Vs. Bitcoin

Quark and NXT shills get the fuck out.  Everyone is tired of reading your forum spam.  You will rarely see someone with high post count shilling for these coins.  It's always some 1 star poster paid to type this crap from Nigeria.

Interesting. The ignorance of people is growing exponentially.

The more people getting into cryptocurrency, the dumber the community is.

It is a bright future for the few that have a minimum of knowledge and know how/when/where to invest and make money out of the fools.

DRAMA: Dumb Retards Asking More Attention


Basic Critera for a decent coin:


1) Active Development Team
2) Active Marketing Team
3) Technical advancements (not just a clone)
4) Community Support
5) Does the coin have all the necessities to be considered a coin for the masses?
6) What does the coin do differently

Anyone stating a coin here should defend the items above for this coin IMO...

I believe the major criteria for the sustainability of a coin is a stable value so that it will be widely adopted by merchants.

Etherium is in the same park as NXT and Ripple. Average Joe will just not understand it. The only people who are really getting excited about these are the techies and investors. I can just about explain BTC to Joe Bloggs, but they wouldn't get these types of currencies at all. They fail because not because they aren't clever or unique or innovative, but because you have to be in the industry to understand them. Your average person on the street has no clue how fiat currency works. How can you expect them to understand Ether?

Dogecoin on the other hand, as ridiculous as it may be, has brought cryptocurrency to the masses. People get it. It doesn't matter how clever your platform is if you can't appeal to the lowest common denominator.

Bingo! You win. "Best post today" award if there were awards.



This is the exact problems I have had so far with Etherium, NXT and Ripple just too much trouble to use.

The general consumer just wants to go hey i get it and use it, maybe they are targeting different types of users.

This is the problem that all people will face, it is to demanding to understand how it works and how is different. But next and ripple are just scams, at least dogecoin who is also an inflationary coin doesn't promote devaluation and centralization as these 2 + they reach to the masses with a correct attitude. If you would understand that because of inflation and centralization of fiat the world economy is going down, would you buy into a altcoin that follows the same basic principles but has all sort of cool features? plus there is always the possibility of human error in the code, where as fiat is a piece of paper, it is or it isn't, very easy to evaluate if it is damaged, fake etc.

If you want people to use a altcoins as a base for money transactions, an altcoin must have enough of coins for everyone, must be super simple to understand, implement, trade, must be very transparent so that people can trust the developers and etc., must be catchy and not to be be considered as a commodity like precious metals etc.

The question is, how many coins fill these criteria?


"at least dogecoin who is also an inflationary coin doesn't promote devaluation and centralization"

Really?  It doesn't lead to centralization?  lol

Do you know how PoW chains are secured?

I've talked bullshit, I know. I'm researching to find a better way of coin distribution. I don't like NXT because of this. What do you propose?

I'm referring to the centralization that is occurring with PoW chain security due to the centralization of mining power.  I'm not talking about the currency distribution.
