Topic: What's your favourite Altcoin? - page 3. (Read 3204 times)

In the long term I really believe in lisk. For now I like dogecoin, it may be not good for trading but for sure the transactions are instant, the fees super low, and the stability of its price makes me feel safe when the other coins have a hard dump.

It might sound strange to u but I don't have a favourite altcoin. I like some more than others but I know there will always be something better cuz technology is evolving all the time.

~CfA~

All guys here have mentioned almost good prospects, but unfortunately for you,doge is undervaluated just now, I mean your amount  is equivalent to 0.045 BTC at current prices, if you go to ETH probably you get 2 ETH only, I do not want to give you bad advice or not discouraged(Mainly because I do not know if really doge might have more high value in the future or not), probably you could draw your own conclusions, cause is the same maybe 2ETH or even 0.045 BTC  it may seem small now, but tomorrow who knows.

Monero and..... read the signature

I would pick Gridcoin (GRC), as it is one of the more interesting coins out there. It's idea is brilliant but also easy to understand for people not in crypto before, see for example this thread that was on the frontpage of reddit: https://www.reddit.com/r/Futurology/comments/4b4drk/a_currency_minted_by_doing_science/t1_d16hch5

It replaces mining with doing research for scientific projects, for example to cure Ebola (http://www.worldcommunitygrid.org/research/oet1/overview.do), fold proteins (https://boinc.bakerlab.org/) or find aliens (http://setiathome.ssl.berkeley.edu/).

From a user's point of view, he simply has to run simulations from the different projects using the BOINC software (http://boinc.berkeley.edu/). Then the network comes to a consensus, who has contributed how much computing power to BOINC, which can be seen for example here (http://www.gridresearchcorp.com/gridcoin/?result&t=CPID_Leaderboard). This process is decentralized among all nodes, there is no central server issuing all coins like it is for example the case with Curecoin. In some blocks this consenus is saved in the blockchain and the reward one gets when staking a block is proportional to how much research was recently done for BOINC by this researcher.

 The network is secured with Proof of Stake, but there is an additional (much bigger) reward depending on how much research the boinc account associated with the staking node has done.

Setting it all up has been quite complicated in the past, but the pool on pool.gridcoin.co has made alle this easier and already has more than 1100 active miners/researchers (http://pool.gridcoin.co/rankings)

I also has very active development, here is the main forum: https://cryptocointalk.com/forum/464-gridcoin-grc/
More information and tutorial to set it up here: www.gridcoin.us

Favorite altcoin? Definitely Lisk!

Xem/nem just check the charts at poloniex and you know why i love this baby

For me it's coexist because of it's uniqueness this is the only crypto currency that supports and dedicated to the betterment of society,they have super active dev and admin the community is very responsive,you're going to be proud to be a part of Coexist

Check out their site http://coexistcoin.com/

I choose ethereum because it has hight volume and if price going down it will going up soon. And i trade it on poloniex who has daily fluctuating.

obviously DOGE coin even though the prices not so good for trading but this is my favourite coin and currently i save those coin at bittrex exchange

ETH , because almost always on top volume in the market , so i can get some profit even only a little from ETH

Hahah, maybe they should update the site.
DAO has an 81% developer rating. NXT 50%.
One of them runs without critical bugs since two and a half years. The other lost $250M in a bug after a week or so.

dao because it connected to eth coin. so you can predict it`s price

My best favourite alt coin is stellar because this is my first coin I can get from the giveaway and earn some bitcoin for my first profit, another alt can make me interested in falling in them is EDRC because they have a good price.

High Profitable: N7, MNM,  ELCO, DOGE,  ETH (Best Considered  as Weekly buying selling term)
Low Profitable: DBIC, CREVA (Daily)

I love to invest in this coin

Revolver Coin (XRE) - the most promising coin,
also for mining on Nvidia card Feathercoin (FTC), Monacoin(MONA) and Ethereum(ETH).

Litecoin

CHESSCOIN and BELLACOIN

My Favs as far as looking at Alt's as a savings/retirement plan:

1) Dash - 10 %
2) Bitcoin - 10% (I know it's not an alt, just included for completeness)
3) Factom - 10%
4) Waves - 10% (im losing my shirt on this but feel it's a solid long term play)
5) Ethereum and Dao - (I just got out of both of these and cashed these positions out to pay for stuff around the house.

I am in the process of selling my house and will not be distributing the proceeds as listed above except the 10 percent for ETH/DAO will go to ICO's and the remaining 90 percent will be divided up to getting us out of credit card debt and remaining funds going into DASH, Factom, and in/out of BTC since the volatility should be kicking about the same time the house sells.

I wish it would have sold by now so i could have put it into BTC before the halving.

Just my opinion, im of the mindset if we share our knowledge... we can all win. We don't need to take anything from each other, we can take it directly from the banking industry that has been screwing us since the beginning of time.

I've also been know to lose an entire fortune on a shitcoin during a night of heavy drinking... soooo... take my opinion with a grain of salt and a shot of tequila.

Cheers gents... would love to hear your thoughts too!
