Topic: What Alt Coins actually offer something different or unique? (Read 615 times)
I think Ripple XRP and TimeKoin are 2 completely different currencies. TimeKoin based on time rather than hashing power and XRP is, well I find it kinda hard to explain really which could be a bit of a downfall for it but i'm currently 'mining' it via World Community Grid. I run TimeKoin on the same PC as it uses almost no extra power.
Alright, not 100% legit. It has some skepticism and some negative stigma around it.
For the most part, it's whatever you want to believe about a coin; is what's making the coin successful.
legitimate
Hah.
NXT is the most unique, legitimate crypto-currency currently.
Ripple is pretty different too.
95% of the coins people will talk about are just clones with a different flavor, or, just plain old shitcoins. Most coins are based on existing models.

XRP / Ripple
Ripple is designed to enable decentralized cross-currency payments and exchange between any currencies available.
A user holding only EUR, BTC, LTC, WDC, QRK, or even DOGE could pay a vendor that only accepts USD.
Instant transactions.
It even supports cash deposits.

XRP is a deflationary currency within the Ripple system that helps enable it all to function.

But do your own research.

It seems like everything is a copy of something else. What coins actually offer something different or unique that can contribute to their longevity?
