I think NEM is probably the best pick for the next big thing  

There are many unique features that are new to NEM, such as:

- first use of Proof-of-Importance (PoI) as a consensus algorithm
- first use of eigentrust++ in a cryptocurrency for securing the P2P network
- encrypted messaging
- first use of remote (proxy) harvesting (harvesting is our analog of mining)
- first use of transaction spam protection
- first crypto with an address book on launch
- first crypto with multisig on launch
- first crypto with 1oz 999 pure silver coin to be minted at the Perth Mint, given to every stakeholder (along with matching assets, essentially creating a silver-backed currency in addition to the main currency, XEM)
- first crypto with an egalitarian distribution to over 1500 individuals
- 4 exchanges confirmed to add NEM at launch (BTER, Poloniex, Bittrex, and BTC38)
- NEM Decentralized Autonomous Organization (DAO; https://forum.nemcoin.com/ideas/nem-community-fund-(aka-nemtopia)/) for managing a community fund where everyone can vote and voting is based on importance scores (used as a part of PoI)
- open source client (https://github.com/NewEconomyMovement/NemCommunityClient) and future open sourcing of the core server
- test-driven development with over 3000 unit tests in the core alone
- SHA3, curve Ed25519
- 60s block time with low variability due to a 60 block weighted, moving average
- progressive transaction fees

I'm one of the NEM devs, so I could be biased, so please read more and judge for yourself  

Unobtanium, what else!?
It's a fuckin monster.

Whit will still be writing 1337 kodez when I am dead and buried from old age, so I'm not about to say anything bad about him 

There was an interview on soundcloud with this opal coin developer and the developer was like 10 years old..  Maybe there's some prodigy geniuses out there but I suspect, like the point you raised, there's a lot of copy and paste developers out there.

As a general rule, any coin not closely connected to a Gen 2.0 platform is a waste of time...
No standalone coin is gonna go to a serious market cap in 2015 (unless it has a REAL revenue stream from something).

But VPN has has some serious technology and, obviously, an Elite Dev...
That's why they were invited to join SuperNET along with other coins with Elite Devs like VRC and BBR and BTCD.

Notice the common thread: jl777 is stockpiling the rarest thing in crypto = Elite Devs.

Most "devs" here are cut-and-pasters or wallets wranglers with no meaningful development background...
You know, the guys that put blinking lights on wallets... that hype and fool the rubes every time.

I am holding some Vericoin, Darkcoin and Clam.

SYS - due to built in client marketplace
OMA - due to dedicated tor marketplace
BALLS - Staking beast

99% of other coins aren't doing even half of what this dev is.

I invested in Doge, and some Node recently, any other good suggestions?

Took a look at AppleByte. I have to say that what you guys are doing is rather cool. Love the idea, and its one of the few alt coins I've come across that has some real value in it other than just an investing tool. I actually want some so I can SPEND it on something tangible. That's rare. Thank you for bringing it to my attention!

P.S. I would love to see a an android wallet that has an integrated "iTunes" like store where I can buy, download, and listen to my new music right from my phone. 

Monero is my pick

Last week I would have said digibyte lol but that is no longer true.... I think noblecoin is great dev has been solid for a year now!

Definitely Slimcoin (SLM). It is the first and only Proof-of-burn coin, PoB has some interesting properties, see http://en.bitcoin.it/Proof_of_burn. It is also the only coin where bulls can limit supply when price goes too low - something where Nubits fails

Perhaps Timekoin (TK) has also chances to revive, but it's agonizing.

NEM, Ethereum and Nectar are the ones I'm waiting on - one of the intriguing things about all three is that they do not appear to be in a hasty rush to get to market just for the sake of getting to market. They each seem to be taking their time to get it right and make a good 1st impression from the get-go.

NEM & Monero

It is interesting to me that except for AppleByte, every other post just gives a coin name or says their coin has a great new technology.

You know how many coins had the "greatest new technology" and are now gone?

AppleByte gives you solid reasons to invest - community, community, community

ShadowCash, the only anonymous POS coin. If you choose it, you will invest in one of the most innovative cryptocurrency tech.

Soon a peer review should be released, and ShadowMarket will come next month ~
