Topic: Which is the hotest alt coin now? - page 16. (Read 16063 times)
Its the coin that hasn't been released yet. A so called US government coin, IRScoin, built in protocol that takes 40% away if you don't play by the rules. Don't count out Bank of Americacoin or Chinese government coin either. For right now,and I know some may disagree but you want to buy a coin that is cheap now but should jump in the future, that to me is Worldcoin, going to have a monster February once people realize that trading coins back into your bank account at 30seconds is better than 1 hour+ from Coinbase. .35 cent WDC is just unreal.
yea.. coinye is the hottest topic at the moment 
Right now it is Dogecoin...
my personal CHECKLIST to find your "perfect" crypto coin currency (distinguish a quality-coin from the mass of trash-coins. )
TRANSPARENCY / TRUSTWORTHY:
1. Are the full specifications easy to find on bitcointalk.de or on a website of this coin?
2. Is the source code available for this coin?
3. Does a website exist? Is the website online? Is the URL of the website changing very often? Are the full specifications easy to find on the website?
4. Is there a hint that the coin is NOT PREMINED or a special hint of the premine-percentage! (If there are many entries in the blockchain that are older than the official release date of the coin, then you should be suspicious!)
TECHNICAL RELIABILITY:
1. any damaged or forked blockchains in the past?
2. If a critical bug appeared: Did the author offer a mandatory update very soon to fix it?
3. Is the coin available on several exchanges?
4. Did an exchange remove this coin because of technical issues?
5. Is the source code actively maintained? When was the last update?
INNOVATIONS:
1. Does the coin or the wallet offer some interesting innovations?
For expample:
1.1. Proof-of-Stake (POS) (for example: peercoin, novacoin, yacoin, philosopherstone, diamond)
1.2. possibility to add a transaction message to a transaction (for example: Florincoin, philosopherstone)
1.3. random blocks (for example: Luckycoin, philosopherstone)
I know it is some work to go through this checklist for each coin to find the right coin for you. But it might be worth it.

Bacon Bits. Naturally.
i am absolutely new to this but from a "outsider" perspective the most appealing coins (except for bitcion) for me were litecoin, feathercoin, peercoin and devcoin. they don't have to be most profitable, but all of them gave pretty solid arguments to why is their coin a good idea and i just like their idea. if i follow the logic "by me i judge you" i guess more newbies would like these coins also 
what i totally don't get is the point behind 42coins, or also, how the hell are people supposed to "forge" nex

I'm going to have to say coinye west as it has a lot of controversy surrounding it which ultimately led to its popularity. An ingenious idea imo.
keep an eye on Qubitcoin (q2c)
guess doge and coino. the thing is every big miner is going to doge right now so in my opinion its better to mine the new ones like coino which has a huge potential
You cannot compare the difficulty of Litecoin with Bitcoin because Litecoin is SCRYPT-based and cannot be mined with special mining hardware yet.
Litecoin: no special mining hardware => lower hashrate => lower difficulty
Litecoin: no special mining hardware => lower hashrate => lower difficulty
LTC, in my honest opinion. People are going towards LTC rapidly since difficulty is one-fourth compared to BTC.
Dear noob2001,
I would say that your statement without any explanation is not useful for anyone.
It just tells us that your wallet is already full of sexcoins.

HAS DOGECOIN ANY INNOVATIVE FEATURES OR SPECIFICATIONS? 
I could NOT find a real reason for the popularity of Dogecoin yet. For me this coin is not more interesting than the original Bitcoin or Litecoin on which Dogecoin is based on. In my opinion Dogecoin is just a boring copy of Litecoin with a new name.
Maybe the only reason for the popularity of Dogecoin was the extreme high reward for early miners, that will drop down in the future ("As of January 13, 2014, 28% of the 100 billion total dogecoins have been mined." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dogecoin ).
And these early miners and traders who already hold in total more than 28% of the coins that will ever be mined are interested in an increasing price of the Dogecoins. I think this is the only reason why the Dogecoin is pushed and promoted everywhere in a non-technically (missing innovation) and just enthusiastic way.

DOGE sure got bigger than I could ever think, but you guys should definitely check DigiByte out. Its now week old and things are moving real fast. The wallet is super fast and dev team seems to be real professional. Go get some while you still can
dogecoin is so much interesting
will continue to mine while profitability is high.

You guys should check out USDe.. it is brand new only six days old therefore people joining now would be part of the early adopters. Also, the community is a good one and supportive. USDe has so much growth potential and it is not even a week old!
Dogecoin is trading at 0.00000087 at cryptsy which is pretty low.

Recently I hv a good hope in Dogecoin n Coino. 
Nxt is slowly climbing up on the crypto chart.
It's only been recently launched and a lot of features are still in development.
But it's already grabbing the attention of some bigger players.
It's a coin with a bright future.

It's just amazing to follow their thread which is more than 1000 pages long now: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=345619.21240
I see a bright future for this project too, they have the most active community!
I'd say dogecoin.
It's probably one of the most popular altcoins right now, (it pops up everywhere!) and its price is rising rapidly at the moment.
