seems legit 

+1.

Do your own research and master your analytics/investment skills or you get scammed.

I'm like you always lurking around for new potential coins to invest in.
I use http://www.coingecko.com/ alot to quickly look at overall performance of a coin.. community and developer is what interest me

I use developer score as the first benchmark, strong developer.. i know it can get through some hard fork shit
Community next to determine if there is a strong backing, and good discussion on the direction of the coin

Then i look at the price, market cap, and stuff to find coins that are undervalued..
You dont want to buy at the peak, but you want to buy at the dip.. gives you a chance to make some small gain day trading, or hold for a few weeks or so and get btter gain. Also helps you make more if you plan to hold long term

My favorite coins i think worth a buy now :-
Blackcoin http://www.coingecko.com/coins/blackcoin
Monero http://www.coingecko.com/coins/monero
NXT..
Myriad.

Litecoin is always a good shot. It is now very cheap.. again
It seems history is repeating it self.

NXT is impressive looking right now

If you want to be safe follow those steps:

1st dig a hole in the ground.
2nd put all your money there.
3rd put the dirt you dug on top of them

This way your money will be (fairly) safe!

syscoin

scrypt is very innovative, many coins use scrypt

There is a lot of money to be made, and you can make money even with a small stake. To do that, you have to play the altcoin markets, which is extremely risky unless you have inside knowledge of X, Y or Z. But you can get  absurd returns there on just one day trading.

Otherwise, BTC is the safest bet. Up until the present, it has been very easy to start with X amount of BTC and wait until LTC hit a low (say 0.015), and then convert to LTC. Soon enough, LTC rises and at that time it has been wise to convert back to BTC (say at 0.025).

Lows to highs have been between approximately 0.009 and 0.05. Take the average as 0.025.

At the moment I would go into LTC, and wait for it to get near to the mid 20s (it will get there). Then you effectively get nearly 2 times more in BTC than if you styed in BTC.

Disclaimer: It is highly speculative, and some people claim LTC is finished (despite that LTC is behaving in the same way as it has over the past 18 months).

Point of clarification: Everything is about BTC. LTC is a means to BTC, but it is the only means that has a steady record of being effective for more than a month or two.

People telling you to invest in new alts are either shills or deluded. Ignore their advice, but keep an eye on how the altcoin market operates if you like short-term pump and dump.

Nxt IMHO.

The non-Btc based forks

Pretty much can be summed up into Darkcoin XC NXT and those type of coins
Although which ones will have the most utility and usage in the future is still being decided

I would ask you to take a good look at AppleByte & do your research. We launched May 1, 2014.
DISCLAIMER: I am on the Dev team of AppleBytes, so I am certainly biased

We are focused a building a niche market, supporting artists of all types and started in NYC, which of course is a mecca for artists.

Here is a quick summary, you can see lots of details and lots of progress on the links below.

Steadily rising price, traded on poloniex.com, no pump & dump
Rapidly growing user community, we have 2000+ artists & art lovers on twitter, 1300+ on FB
We have given the users many places to spend their applebytes: AppleByte VISA card, Subway & ShakeShack gift cards, and our latest, the AppleByte AMC Movie Theater Card. On our Forum, you can see the promotions we have done: Places to spend AppleBytes



The coin is no simple clone, we implemented security features like Autocheckpointing & DGW2 from the start
Mining schedule over 8 years, halves approx. every two years, 1 Billion coins
We are well funded by The AppleByte Foundation & the premine that we did will be used to fund Artist scholarships over the next 10 years, so no airdrop

true and this thread will be good opportunity for bagholders to promote their coins.

What's wrong with bitcoin? That's where all the action is.

Don't listen to anyone telling you to buy something. Research yourself, or be taken advantage of by those who do.

Do your own research or get scammed.

Sure, there are tons of them. I suggest the following coins:



I expect many here have a similar view.
