I voted sexcoin because without that the Human race cant survive.. Smiley

Then how about FoodShelterCoin.  Or MedicalInsuranceBits.

FoodCoins, to replace Food Stamps.  Wink


I would so mine it if I could buy food with it.

sexcoin is the only that has a dedicated universe where to spend it without giving out explanations to Mrs or Mr on that credit card charge

QRK it's the rising star! Fair CPU mining and very active developers.

I am betting it will take over #3 a few days after being added to BTC38!

If quark hits $2.00 I am selling half and paying off all my debt Smiley

You and me both, buddy  Grin
Quark just overtook Namecoin for the # 4 spot! http://coinmarketcap.com/

edit: wait a second - almost all QRKs are already mined? Are transaction fees distributed as rewards? We might soon see whether the newtork can be sustained or not once all QRKs are mined...

Quarks will never be fully mined. That is where 0.5% inflation comes in Wink

You are right; was already appending my post once more Wink
...but still I stick to Peercoin just because of PoS and the destruction of the transaction fees which can effectively lead to an even lower inflation.

In the really long-term even Bitcoin might be gamble (just imagine the decreasing block reward... PoW might be at risk).
I prefer alt coins that seem to deliver something really important.
As of now I see that especially at LTC, PPC, NVC and XPM (and maybe QRK because of its different hashing approach)
All other alt coins are more or less copy-cats with adjusted variables.
Thinking twice I come to the conclusion that QRK fits in the row of LTC, PPC, NVC and XPM.
But no one knows which one(s) will succeed Smiley

edit: wait a second - almost all QRKs are already mined? Are transaction fees distributed as rewards? We might soon see whether the network can be sustained or not once 247 million QRKs are mined and "only" 1 million per year follows...

Anyone else buy some Quark yesterday and are not regretting it today? Grin

Yep  Grin

Nice price jump. But what about the long-term perspective?
For pure speculation purpose: nice.
As investment: dunno...

In the long(ish) term, any of these alt coins is a gamble. Quark feels like it has the best long term upside potential out of the group at this moment.

I suppose you ask for the growth in value and not in the growth in number Wink

I doubt it is Litecoin, because it already had some very good weeks.
People might want to believe that a coin that has not yet gained so much value might be more interesting to invest the money in.
Primecoin is interesting and fascinating because of its imaginative PoW. But I bet it won't be one of the best growing cryptocoins.

I think Peercoin (PPC) does have one of the greatest potentials. It is one of the coins that has not yet been recognized by the mass, although it offers something important and new, which is it introduced "Proof of Stake" (PoS).
The number of PPC is technically unlimited, but there might be less PPC in total than e.g. LTC, because the PoW reward of PPC is not a function of block height, but of difficulty. So the more hash rate in the network is doing PoW, the lower the reward (each 16-fold of difficulty halves the reward) per block will be.
Transaction fees are not earned by miners but destroyed.
And the PoS reward is only roughly 1% per year (which shall long-term balance the destroyed fees).
That will lead to a more or less stable amount of Peercoins which is way under the technical maximum number and not very much above the current number of roughly 20 million PPC.

Short-term the PPC network might profit from the legions of SHA256 miners that are bought for BTC mining once their owners recognize that mining PPC with them can be more pofitable. That draws attention to PPC while the PoW miners will earn less PPC as more hash rate is in the PoW process.
Long-term PPC has a good chance to endure, because the more the network transitions to PoS (there already roughly 10 times as many PoS blocks than PoW blocks: http://ppc.cryptocoinexplorer.com/chain/PPCoin?count=50&hi=84842) the less dependent on PoW it is.
That makes it easier to sustain the network security, because a drop in network hash rate doesn't make it easier to perform a > 50% attack if the security is mainly based on PoS.
And even if a PoS attack is possible, it does not make much sense. It is more expensive than a "PoW > 50% attack" and the coins would be rendered worthless (or at least much less valuable) in case of success (successfully having minted a PoS block freezes the PPC for 520 blocks before they can be spent; until you get them to an exchange no one will want to buy them...)

Novacoin could basically have the same chance long-term, but can not profit from SHA256 miners short-term by getting that kind of attraction.

So I guesstimate that the future will be great for Peercoin. I hope this future starts 2014 Wink

I don't take pure copy-cat cryptocoins very serious, but who knows...
...and who knows what improvements follow?
Some improvements by new cryptocoins can't simply be integrated to Bitcoin. Those cryptocoins might have the highest potential.

I'm surprised the market cap on SBC is still so low when there's this much interest in it

It's the newest coin compared to the likes of quark, mega, etc. in regards to the relaunch.
