I feel like the majority says litecoin yet the price has been falling steadily for the past few weeks.
Really makes you wonder, this whole game is a speculator's game.

Litecoin is historically more stable than most other Litecoins.
However, it rises and falls with Bitcoin and Bitcoin has been down the past few weeks.
It'll bounce back- I think now is a good time to buy (which I am), the price won't be this low for long.
Also.. this is my +1 for Litecoin.

WLD, DGC and MNC
If it's fair to say that people are voting with their hashing power, the Alts with the most hashing currently are:
DGC, WDC, TRC, CNC, in that order (using even MHash-to-GHash conversion for TRC, so it may be a bit out of place).
I have to admit, I was surprised to see 200 MHash still on CNC, but more than a few someones are still mining it.
EDIT: I misread the title of this post and thought it initially was asking for alternatives to both BTC & LTC. LTC should be at the beginning of the list above.

So I know my own opinion as to the "most promising" alt coin other than Bitcoin, but I'm curious what the popular opinion is for this topic.
I will wait until 50 or so votes before saying which one I believe is the "most promising" and why, so that I can at least see what the unbiased vote result is. I will also announce the "in progress" vote count as I write my viewpoint.
Of course, anybody may post in this thread at any time to try and influence the vote count!
Wow that's great
LTC , as well as PhenixCoin, which is not listed there, PXC has the best most active developers behind their coin right now. Their website, Phenixst.com (free escrow site) Casino, their own exchange coming out soon, PXC was the only coin that successfully got held back off cryptsy to give it more time to grow.I will wait until 50 or so votes before saying which one I believe is the "most promising" and why, so that I can at least see what the unbiased vote result is.

Some people will bash PXC, they just havent studied enough to find whats really important behind a new coin.
Yacoin in 3rd place is interesting. Is that because people think it has a future, or because it is technically interesting?
Well, the way I see it is this:
1. Bitcoin is and Bitcoin will be.
2. Alternative to Bitcoin has to be as advanced as possible, implementing and experimenting with things Bitcoin is just to big to mess with.
3. Litecoin and many other altcoins are outdated. Difficulty retargeting once per day / hour / week and 2.5+ minutes block time are so 2012.
Yacoin does look good. The best of everything preceding it. It just needs to solve the anonymity problem.

Lite
LTC and Ppcoin
Chuck Norris Coin is going to take over the cryptocoin ecosystem.
If you don't like it, tell it to Chuck's face... I dare you!

To say that a topic has "failed" is not logical. It achieved a high percentage of the goals that I set out to achieve:
1) A statistically relevant indication of alt-coin popularity
2) A discussion of the merits of disparate alt-coins in the current mining and marketing contexts.
To assign a boolean to a topic is not logical, but if forced, I would have to say it there was much win here.
Your missing so many alt coins.
No doubt. Some of these coins mentioned are "dying" coins that are not supported by active mining any longer, or are not traded on the exchanges yet (Pheonix coin). Feel free to post a more comprehensive poll if you really think there is a chance that those coins would skew the results
Poll results are now showing Litecoin by a landslide. The others are not really distinguishable in results:
Ripple (no 2 by a couple votes).
Which coin would I like to succeed? PPCoin. I know there are a lot of LiteCoin fans, but I love PPCoin for its novel approaches in several respects - mining, max number of coins, and built-in inflation. I think it truly has the capability to proceed as a legitimate (and STABLE) currency.
Which coin do I think will succeed? Ripple. Big money will win the day, but not if these guys can't make it truly distributed. They've got to pay attention to the criticisms placed on their current architecture and create something smooth and workable. If they can do that, it will succeed definitely.
Keep voting, unwashed masses!
The most promising coin is whatever coin the person who responds has most of.
correlation does not imply causation

"Most promising alt-con" needs to be defined a little more.
Does it mean, the alt-coin most likely to succeed? Litecoin is inevitably going to top that chart, as it's well established.
Or should we be voting for the coin we would like to succeed because it's the most interesting (technically or otherwise)?
