As there are thousands of crypto currencies out there, i want to have a watchlist (max 50) of altcoins in regard of some defined requirements.
The watchlist can also be found here:
GERMAN:
http://www.kryptowaehrungen-kennen-lernen.ch/altcoin-watchlist/ENGLISH:
http://www.meet-cryptocurrencies.com/altcoin-watchlist/ ( Still work in progress)
please help making the best altcoin watchlist and newbie crypto website on the web - to help spread the word - and most important to avoid that people coming newly into this topic and looking
for info on the net about altcoins - dont land up on any of these hundreds of scam/hyip
sites, which really does not help the cryptos to find their way into society :/ crypto is a serious thing, that could make the world a better place -
so we should make sure that people realize that and end up on the official channels of the well developed opensource coins when they looking for information.
Update 2017/03/24 - Heres a screen of the new beta list on the website - here you can see the features planned - most of them already working
http://en.kryptowaehrungen-kennen-lernen.ch/wp-content/uploads/sites/3/2017/03/tablebeta-2.jpgUpdate 2017/03/26 - Big update on page and this thread following soon - please bookmark and stay up2date ================= CURRENT WATCHLIST (2017-03-15) (alphabetical order - no ranking yet) =================================================================================================
=== OPEN APPLICATIONS FOR WATCHLIST ===
Here you'll find the currencies found in this thread or by me that are not yet on the list and
are subject to discussion here. If you can help checking against our criterias, we can approve or decline them.
-
Litecoin (LTC) (One of the oldest, most stable altcoins. but seems to be dead/not very innovative?)
-
Dash (Very promising but very bad distribution (richlist), X11 already ASIC ready, founders bonus)
-
OneCoin (OC) (3rd OneCoin see link, not the 2 scams..., seems legit but not much activity, waiting for fork)
-
Waves (Very innovative tec, chrome wallet, but not sure about algo/mining/distribution)
-
Wild Beast Block (WBB) (Coin+OS - seems huge, not sure about mining and distribution yet)
Please share your (constructive) thoughts about the altcoins we have on the application list !=== CRITERIAS FOR WATCHLIST (subject to change!) ===* Sourcecode for Node must be Opensource
* No unreasonable Premine or concentration of Coins from the beginning / for founders (richlist)
* CPU/GPU friendly algos that are ASIC-resistant as good as possible
* to force decentralized mining, devteam should promote / support decentralized model (by choosing algo,pools,etc)
* Innovative Technology that differs it from bitcoin
* Does not have to be a currency, but has to have a defined purpose (e.G ETH or DCR)
* No Dead Coins or Coins without a serious approach (as Doge, Moneta Verde, and so on ..)
* No ICO / SCAM / HYPE Coins as Dash, ZCash, and all the other makesomefastcashalmostponzylike cryptos..
Additional points (will be used for ranking)
* Payment acceptance
* market cap
* stability
* quality of official channels like website, twitter
==========================
To make things clear: its not about these cryptos are cool, or fake, or whatever - its about the cryptos on this
list meet our criterias listed above or not.
There can be other technically interesting cryptos with huge hashrate or marketcap that will not be on this watchlist=== HOW CAN U CONTRIBUTE TO THIS THREAD ( Thanks in advance for helping ! ) ===- Suggest New Crypto Currencies for the Watchlist, meeting our Criterias
- Share your experiences about crypto currencies in the watchlist
============================================
To make things complete..here we'll add the crypto currencies we have checked and do not match our criterias:
Byteball(GBYTE),Bytecoin(BCN),FantomCoin(FCN),Dogecoin(DOGE),Litecoin(LTC),ZCash(ZEC)
I will also use this thread as a information base for my new website (link above) - it has the purpose of showing the information of this thread
(and some additional content thats known to all users here and doesnt belong in this thread) for nonforum users and newbies to the cryptocurrency topic - in a visually attractive manner,
easy to read and understand.
So in long term the page/thread could act as ( one of many ) entry points for newbies in the cryptocurrency (especially altcoin) topic. for now, its just for me and some friends asking for what i know so far about this topic xD
i had a wiki page in my private wiki for that, as i wanted to share my knowledge with friends. this page and thread is now the result of opening up that information to public and asking for help for the research.
There will be follow up links to all the official cryptocurrency channels and the BT Forum aswell on the website, so people starting on that page having interest for more info
will endup here and on the other official channels - rather than on some scam/hyip pages when you just use raw google or any other searchengine.
So this page should also act as kind of a filter, so people with no knowledge about cryptos searching for information, will end up in the official channels.
My goal is to support the top 10 altcoins of this watchlist here very activly - not in financial manner, but in trying to build up the community and spread the word amongst my friends.
this thread and the page should build a solid base so i (and other newbies with interested to push some crypto for the good) can decide where to put their effort in.
Sure this can be no garantee, but its for sure far better then hyping every freaking ico/mlm/scam/justgetsomequickdirtymoneyshit Coin and wasting time, motivation, and last but not least money.
So i'd be very glad if you could support me to make this a high quality thread which gives a good overview for people sharing the same interest in cryptocoins as i do.
The first step will be to finish the list and find 50 currencies that meet the criterias. after that, well try to set up some sort of ranking
(maybe multiple ones with different weight of criterias).
