Anyway - come on: top 10 P&D over next 4 weeks. In order, please, so I can do an accumulator bet.

Top 10 !? Are you kidding ?

If I can find one that doesn't sink my speculative budget in time for me to dump it I might let you know retrospectively.

EDIT: Ok, it appears your not alone in needing to liberate yourself of surplus monetary burden and gamble your life away since I've been getting PM'd with similar requests so I'll empty my toxic market musings on you and feel free to do what you will with them. (I won't call it tok's "sh*tcoinlist" since I know smooth monitors this thread every 10 seconds and I don't want to disrespect his cryptographic work of art). So here's...

*************** Tok's Dash Thread Mystic Market Trawl **************

(Lets see if I don't get a banning for "discussing other coins at length". I could sure do with one to get some of my life back )

**** Junk Bond Territory ****
I'm still waiting for my Bitbay to undrown itself - which it might actually have a chance of doing if its film star author manages to get the trading client to splutter into life. Outrunner decentralised eBay there for anyone feeling adventurous. Worst case - it goes back to 50 sats. Best case - your a millionaire.

**** Cryptonote Territory ****
Of the cryptonotes, all pumps are getting a bit mature now for there to be much short term upside in them. XMR was either going to break up or down from here but that last pump took the wind out of its sails a bit and it's now in a bit of a descending triangle situation. Massive order book keeping it in suspension - Real ? Fake ?. Who knows, probably some of both.

The rule is if your a Dash fan then it's Dash with a Cryptonote hedge. If your a Cryptonote fan then it's your choice of invisible, semi-visible, pseudo-visible-down-the-end of-a-toilet-roll blockchain coin with a Dash hedge, so take your pick. XMR's flavour of the month (and might still get a backdraught from the interview), BCN's come alive again on fundamentals (but all other cryptonotes hate it cos it's a premine [not more than they hate us though Wink

]), shadow's got a good video but at an ATH so not ideal, nav's already on the tail end of a pump and coming down.

So of that lot if your looking for a hedge I'd wait for the bubble to burst on one of them and take a scoop.

**** TV Star Territory ****
Max Keiser and Russel Brand are pushing Startcoin and on the face of it you'd think this would be a slam-dunk manyfold pump and dump with 20 million RT fans and 8 million Trews fans. Right now might not actually be too bad an entry point for anyone thinking that that's a goer since it's come down to half its peak value of a week ago and appears to be bottoming out. Going against that is the absolutely toxic talking down it gets from bitcointalk afficionadoes. (Since this is a "family" thread for the most part I'll leave the quotes to others... https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1016533.0)

**** Tightrope Walkers ****
If you feel like a bit of precision trading that's almost guaranteed to pay you a couple of beers at the end of the week, BitUSD's currently $4 dollars over its peg. At the same time, BTS is well down on its honkers, so there's the perfect combination - scoop some BTS, lend some BitUSD into existence and short that mother back in place to collect Friday night's pizza budget.

**** Beauty Contests ****
Etherium keeps being about to be launched. When it does, wait to see if it goes up or down first and take appropriate action.

**** Trollbox Hysteria Zone ****
It's too late for the Vanilla bus by the looks of it but some appear to be eyeing up Dime over the horizon. Concerning the fundamentals on that one, my research is about as thin as that stuff that wafer wrapped prawns are wrapped in. As far as I'm concerned it's a slab of caramel coated chocolate but if Poloniex trollbox says it's investible then I'd rather argue with a hungry rhino than not take note.

**** Inverse Russian Roulette Zone ****
(That's the kind where 5 of the shots will kill you and only 1 keeps you alive).
Not a bad trading strategy I've found is just to scan everything below some miniscule marketcap, spend 45 seconds each on 3 things: the last few pages of their ANN thread, the graphs on marketcap.com and the trading volume to see if any 3 of those parameters "stick out of the background". Then just buy up a shitload of the stuff for 0.1 BTC and sit and wait. 200k cap is the upper boundary of kamikaze risk-tranche for me.

In summary, the territory is barren this year (because all the big innovation got introduced last year) and returns are not quite the jackpot they were. I'm also not as familiar with what's going on as I was last year because I gave up significant day trading due to it being not quite compatible with family life, so there may be plenty other stuff out there I've missed and that is by no means a comprehensive overview - just what I know of.
