Try the top bar of bter.com, they have BTC/CNY and you can expect spillage as chinese investors flock in.

It's anyone guess as to which alt-coin (if any) will eventually be successful, coins that stand a good chance will have good lead developer(s), a committed/active community, in-roads into china, accepted by the majority of exchanges and most likely be somewhat scarce in quantity. (yea, I'm looking at you ADT/GDC  Roll Eyes)

The fuss made about what a coin brings to the table in terms of new functionality is focused on far too much IMHO (and has led to some pointless technologies being implemented that just don't add value) - that's certainly not to say that we should not encourage new innovation, far from it, hell the success of crypto in general depends on it, but in terms finding an investable coin for the future I think it should be less of a must-have and more of a world-be-nice.

Also coins that have fallen to extremely low difficulty levels should be treated as potential hazards. It's possible that a miner with a pile of hash has effectively insta-mined hundreds of thousands of coins and should the price ever start to increase stands the risks of being epically dumped on.

Those are my thoughts on this subject, I'm no crypto millionaire (yet  Wink) but the crypto night is young...

Look on Datacoin. Maybe not just for mining\trading, but look into its features if you're developer.

PPCoin has the largest market cap after Bitcoin and Litecoin - so it is a good choice Smiley

Don't believe every article you read - at the end of the day it's up to you Wink

I was mining primecoin, then there was an article saying how it's doomed to fail. Bitcoin is a beast that I can't handle so now I'm mining PPC

Should I stick with PPC? How does it's future look? Thinking about printing and handing out the logo of a certain coin. Just need to find what that coin is
