Ok, 'potential for long-term sustainable mass-adoption' then...

You're being too restrictive.
Even bitcoin has NO POTENTIAL for that.

Bitcoin will remain used for buying illegal stuff, exchange some money between countries, buy some stuff on internet (for geeks, because it's more expensive to buy bitcoins, pay fees, and pay with bitcoins that pay with money at the first place...), and give some money to wannabe traders ... It will never be close to massively adopted because (1) confirmations are way too long (2) fees are too high (3) there is not enough security that you can safely keep large amount of money (like what you win for 20 years for example....).

The coins I'm finding interesting are

Infinitecoin (misnomer) - because it has the potential to become genuinely scarce. Assuming you ignore the silly numbers, and focus on the inflation rate. Nearly 0% after 6-12 months.

YACoin - because it is the only coin that will support efficient CPU mining. Efficient mining on existing desktop PCs has the potential to capture the public imagination.

Go through the list and eliminate anything with a block time under 60 secs, because these coins have no real future.

That should narrow it down for you.

Every coin has a future.

1) eMunie, but not in the list and to be launched end this mont.

Emunie is good but people can mine it with CPU, RAM and HDD so it will not have an impact on other cryptos people will still mine these alts with GPU. So don't take tension about that. It is outstanding coin with no other competitor.

If PXC is the frontrunner, they are all doomed

And trust me I'm not here to push Caps ,

And to be honest why would I tell you what currency is going to be successful ?

If I knew why and for what reason.

This implies that you are so mean to tell. Grin

Sinbad Mixer: Mix Your BTC Quickly

Of those? Hm....
DGC, WDC, and PXC collaboration was interesting and I don't think PXC is the forerunner of the bunch, but they should benefit the most. PXC always had some well-made services but never really caught on, perhaps it will eventually.

Aside from that group, PPCoin once Bitcoiners are bored.

BitGem and CopperLark have interesting clients (though functionality is questionable).

PXC will be the 3rd successful Alt coin.

+1

Why not second or first. After all Bitcoin is loosing value. And both LTC and BTC have gone really slow in development.

LOL I don't think a premined copy/paste scamcoin is going to unseat BTC and LTC

You are saying like we have US dollars(BTC) in the world and we should not use other currencies. But the fact is dollar is not the most valuable bill in the world. If Samsung can provide better service then Iphone by copying it. So why can't Any alt.

Kuwait Dinar = Most valuable against the dollar in the world.

Related question:

What about proof of stake coins specifically?

These are the ones I'm aware of, and what I know of them.

PPCoin - First and the only SHA based
NovaCoin - highest effective interest rate
BitBar - Scarcity
BitGem - Scarcity
Bottlecaps - the only fast block rate

These coins are no doubt very good and innovative but If we see the mining, and services prospect of them the mining is not profitable and people can't mine enough coins to keep for long term. And ofcourse we need services for them where they can be used. So these are the places where they are lacking I know PPC and Nova coin are good at service but not in mining. Bitbar and bitgems are meant to store value but don't know what is the future of BOT.

I think for newbie miners it is best that they mine PXC, WDC, FTC and DGC the developers are good and have some future plans for making there coins useful in different services. And this is the first time it has ever happened that three alt communities have joined hands together to help each other. Lets see what the out come is.

What do you mean they are not "good at mining"?

People can't get good rewards for mining them with low hashrates. And even if they are able to mine them in good quantity what ensures them that the value will increase. Value only increases with utilization. I am talking about long term mining not perday.

Props for knowing Tenebrix innovated with Scrypt and not Litecoin
Innovation doesn't mean much ... it happens many times that a clone or a slightly improved clone will prevail over the original
I would say there's some space for a "fast" coin (Worldcoin, Digicoin?)
Why not those two?

I don't think he knew, the list is a copy paste Tongue
