Mintcoin is not unique at all, there are plenty of hybrid Pow/PoS coins out there (and even more coming) and I really don't see why/how Mintcoin will differentiate itself.

I don't understand why the general public would adopt Mintcoin when the distribution is unfair by design and it offers nothing over Peercoin. But then, I have no idea why anyone was buying Maxcoin, and it did alright.

That's called marketing. We all remember EAC and NOBL for their flashy logos, starting high price and then massive dumps.

Mintcoin is a miner scam. The only ones who will profit from that coin are the big miners who got in early, pulling out millions of coins/day. I'll bet that coin is the most consolidated so far. What's even worse is that the PoS will benefit the big holders, giving the same persons the advantage of earning huge interest on their holdings.
All this they are doing while promoting it as a "green" and "enviromental" cause.

As a side-note: Huntercoin is more energy effiecient than mintcoin. Vertcoin has 10000 times better distribution than mintcoin.

I second this. You can use MintCoin for efficient pump&dump still, people are taken away by the numbers they can hold, same as with the African Dollars. The volume of traded MintCoin is pretty high now.

MintCoin is POS. There has not been a successful POS coin yet except for Peercoin and perhaps Yacoin.
But MintCoin developers are very talented, so it is a tough decision.
Also I don't see how MintCoin is unique.

Mintcoin by a mile.
ASIC resistant in that it will be virtually unmineable in 2 weeks.
POS so you will be getting a ROI each month by keeping them in your wallet.
Also only about 2 weeks left to mine them so after that the only way to get them is buy.
Incentive is to hold them as opposed to trade them.
That's more than I can say for vertcoin and most other cryptocurrencies.
There's no point investing if it aint POS IMO.
I see it as way more attractive than dogecoin atleast, yet it is about 5 times cheaper.
That said, the market is unpredictable and their are clowns out their who have no idea trading the market.

I do short, but some coins are worth holding.

Prospercoin bro... mining that coin if i just dont know what to mine anymore... but its definitly a long term coin... trustworthy dev whos working his ass of as well  Wink

Mint and Vert... you are already way too late Wink

Mintcoins only been out for a few weeks, how can I be late? lol.
Vert is new as well, 0 backing behind this statement.

you could have bought your mint while it was at 3/4 satoshi... now you are looking to buy something that has been rising 1000% in a few days... on that note... you missed the boat already brother... same with vert...

but if you really want one of these coins... i would go with vert... just because its asic resistent.. that could be good for the long run with all these scrypt asics coming out.. and mint is way too hyped right now...

Go qqcoin. how many other scrypt-jane coins you can still mine or buy for very cheap ? only 0.00001 per coin, at 30 million total coins.
When chinese will realize the value it will go to 1 dollar each minimum.
It is only on coinedup.com as of now..

About to invest a portion of my savings. I already have stakes in quark and I am looking for the next coin that I can invest in and hold for long term.
Mint or Vert?
Which one should I pick?

Both seem pretty innovative/promising at this moment and are greatly undervalued in my opinion.

Vertcoin for its ASIC resistance or Mintcoin for its unique approach to mining?

Any opinions?
