Alt coin Speculation

[kpitcher]

With all the ICOs and developments it'd be nice if anyone sees something interesting for them to give a heads up. Eth has shown that there is room for an upstart to shoot up fast.



I've noticed evergreen coin has been rising like crazy. It's been around awhile. No hard news to warrant the change yet recently there was over 80,000 USD in one day volume. It's pushing a million dollar coin cap.

* I'm a very small bag holder. I sold a video card to the developer so I mined a few thousand when it was POW before it changed to POS. Then I forgot about it until seeing it as a highest volume of the day on bittrex. I'm not sure if it's a very well orchestrated pump or a real community has grown

I have a friend that spends all day reading about altcoins online... He is on poloniex and is constantly buying and trading different cryptocurrency. I don't know enough about it to get involved - but it's interesting stuff...

rawx.io https://beta.rawx.io is fully running and back open, starting to add various alts. It's the rebranded mcXnow. Volume is still low, less than 100Btc in the last day.

I have some Fees, which allows you to share in the trade fees which the site earns. The Fees worked nicely with mcXnow, right now only getting a few tens of thousands of satoshi a day at the moment with the low volume. You also get a variety of alt coins as they're added. Hope their growth keeps picking up.

Stratis

Coin that allows blockchain development in .NET

It had a ICO of 975 BTC, 84 million tokens, initial cost was 1125 Sat

It's currently going for 4000 - 5000 sat

It hasn't been added to Polo yet so may get a jump when that happens.

The altcoin that has my attention is DASH because of its governance structure.

Interview with Dash business dev Ryan Taylor on how Dash differentiates itself from Bitcoin and the vision for the currency (skip to 6 or so minutes in to get past fluff)

Other than DASH, I have my eye on the decentralized prediction markets like https://www.augur.net/ and http://bitcoinhivemind.com/

kpitcher,

I have a tough time discerning what could be considered "blue chip" alts as well from all the crap out there. I've decided to rely on ShapeShift for wondering what the top ones will be. They seem to thoroughly do their research and don't just add any $#@!coin out there like yobit, polo, and trex do.

If you want to buy the next big thing super cheap, ShapeShift tends to be very late too add though.

WHEN token is on fire.. might pull back, but probably a good one to look at.

Scott Adams' app WhenHub Interface is a knowledge sharing app. Users can book video conferencing sessions with experts using the smart contracts built into the WHEN token.
