Ask HN: Any Alt coins worth buying?

18 pointssharemywin20 comments

Most coins seem to not be keeping up with bitcoin. Any that might break out soon?

Click a coin and it has all the info you need. Website, social, etc. Do some googling with the top 10-20 market cap coins to start and find some with ideas you like. Just stay away from Bitconnect.

Digital Monetary Trust

oops... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digital_Monetary_Trust

SALT is one of the few projects about to launch an actual service. Now trading on exchanges under $8. The token will cost $25 on the website when saltlending.com launches. My target is $15 within 6 months.

No. They're all pump and dump and don't have the network/social edge.

lol

Ripple. If you're going to invest in Ripple, don't bother if you're looking for a short-term gain. It's a long-term project.

Ripple is not for trading in this way, even it's creators said as much.

I've put my eggs in Ark's basket.

I like the progress bars for the various projects

Any thoughts on these(they show up alot on whattomine.com):

Monacoin(MONA)

Vertcoin(VTC)

Zcash(ZEC)

LBRY(LBC)

Monero(XMR)

I would suggest Ripple after watching all the market share and availability.

You're on HN and don't know about REQ?

Golem (GNT)

Monero (XMR)

I've only just started reading a bit more about Monero after having watched Bitcoin from a far distance and Monero feels like it could actually become a useful currency. I have no trouble imagining myself paying and getting paid in Monero, something that I could never see happening with Bitcoin considering transaction time and cost.

Monero is fungible, meaning that it is anonymous compared to Bitcoin that has a public ledger.

Transaction fees are manageable, about $3 I think. Monero's block size adjusts dynamically to the amount of transactions. Work is in progress that will lower transaction fees even more.

The community seems friendly and helpful, if judged by "internet standards".

Will it increase in value? Who knows? But it feels like Monero could be actually useful someday.

Monero.
