You should add Stellar to the list.

Nxt is a next big thing like BTC

With everything in your list, I still think only doge is worthwhile to hold on to. Yeah, it's a clone all right with nothing new in terms of technology but don't forget, crypto is all about the community. It's the support of the people that gives it value.

Well they kind of have to. Everyone who ever wanted Ethereum bought as much as they could at the IPO, so when the markets open, we have an interesting situation. A lot of people with huge bags of Ether, and a lot of people who don't care about Ether.

nice try to advertise

is this coin still have some support

I really enjoy the asset exchange on NXT platform, it's really an asset in it self.
Also the speed the devs pump out new features is just ridiculous, pity they seem to lack the PR many of the other coins have, if they had it, I'd guess the value would increase drasticly.

But if and this is a big if, Gavin Andresen and the Bitcoin Foundation get their way on the 1 MB blocksize issue Dark Wallet, can become a reality, regardless of their position on anonymity. If on the other hand the 1 MB blocksize limit remains in Bitcoin, Dark Wallet is doomed.

I think you've probably got that the wrong way around.

LoL

+1 to that.

to OP :

with regards to DRK :



- It works fast and it works very well, they increased the number to mix towards 16 rounds and pretty much streamlined the whole thing making it run more smoothly with better feedback towards end-users. They pretty much closed all vulnurabilities and bugs they found so far very fast (there may still be some lurking around as its a lot of new code but i have no doubt about darkcoin's developers capability to deal with those)

- They incorporated Bitcoin into Darkcoin (making Darkcoin a fork of Bitcoin instead of Litecoin) to make it more Bitcoin compatible, API / Merchant wise and they are now focussing on further developing InstantX and preparing it for the public Testnet. I have therefore no idea what you exactly mean with broken architecture. It all just works .. and it
works well.

* Next thing (after InstantX) will be implementing some form of two factor authorization on decentralised blockchain level, this will increase security drastically in my eyes.  http://newsbtc.com/2015/01/26/evan-duffield-proposes-2-factor-authentication-2fa-darkcoin/

* The Masternode network is yet another thing that seperates Darkcoin from any other cryptocurrency, its decentralised and its getting increasingly profitable to run masternodes or even share a masternode with some people :

* Last but not least take a look at the price for these last few weeks, you will see a steady rise and some very very solid buying support walls (for some time now) on several exchanges, this means Darkcoin got some serious attention and has been given time to further develop its technologies without worrying about price too much.

Uh what? You clearly have no clue...Ethereum isn't a "coin", it's an application or platform.

Guys calm down. When Ethereum joins the game, almost all coins will be obsolete. So no sense in discussing wether LTC/DOGE or DRK/MON is better, they are all doomed.

Digital-Payments Company Ripple Labs Finalizing $30 Million Funding Round
http://blogs.wsj.com/venturecapital/2015/01/26/digital-payments-company-ripple-labs-finalizing-30-million-funding-round/

it will be more correct

Yes. If not, it would be insecure. But there is a mechanism in development called "cold locked minting" (see below) that will allow riskless minting.

DPoS means that "little coin owners" lease their "voting power" (stake) to the big whales, so they don't need to be online all the time. The risk is that these whales can use this power to 51%-attack the coin. PPC 0.5 will have a mechanism a bit similar to DPoS called Cold storage minting, and NXT too has a similar mechanism, Leased Forging. The difference is that DPOS and Leased Forging are encouraging centralization, while PPC's Cold-locked minting does not, it tries to avoid the danger of having accounts with a too large stake.

PPC's cold-storage minting (see a technical description here) allows to delegate your stake to another account. This "minting account" must be online to mint, but doesn't need to have coins in it, so it's 100% safe to mint and you could do it even with your smartphone. But it does not allow the formation of "minting pools" or "big delegates" like in BTS and NXT, because there must be trust between both accounts. In my opinion, it's the best of all three "delegation" systems, but it's still in testing stage (but already implemented, so it's not vaporware).

That depends how you define "a 2.0 coin".

First with a own codebase, not being a clone? That was probably Timekoin or Bytecoin.
First coin not relying on proof-of-work? That was Timekoin, then came Peercoin, the first PoS coin.
First coin with coloured coins / asset exchange? That in fact was Bitcoin, with the Mastercoin "plugin"
First coin with Java client? Not even this, because there's Bitcoin's Multibit

But I like NXT, it is moving forward very fast and already has a lot of unique features.

You can lease your stake to a big whale (see above "Leased Forging"), so you must not be online.

- Ripple is deflationary, where did you get 30% from? Weird.
- You can list 'assets' or anything of value on Ripple.
- Ripple has user registered accounts and names

Are all of those points about NXT in the core? As I know there is a lot of 3rd party services.

You've used no numbers so far if you mean statistics...so what??

Again, your disputing my real world facts of numbers with your hypothetical world.
