Maybe good start is this website which seems to be unbiased and compares different coins in therms of their launch:
http://www.devtome.com/doku.php?id=a_massive_investigation_of_instamines_and_fastmines_for_the_top_alt_coins

But still this is only one website. More research you must do probably.

So I read a lot about most of the stuff on the website and it was a really interesting read and didn't know how many coins were out there that instamined all of their coins, it's a good thing that a couple of people out there in the world is keeping an eye on these kind of things.

But if I were to want to get more into the unbiased research of Monero in terms of protocol and what each altcoin offers in terms of speed of transaction, privacy, and that kind of thing... where would I go? I wouldn't even know where to begin to look and at this point in time, I just go off based of what people tell me on this forum. Has this guy made a post somewhere that answers all these types of questions in a very laid out format like this guy did in the post above?

Thanks, I feel like I'm learning so much in such a short amount of time when it comes to cryptos in general.

Edit: Also, I have heard on some threads on here that Satoshi has roughly 1 Million BTC that he possesses.. does this mean that bitcoin was a fast mined coin or something of that nature?

In terms of technical details, each proper coin should have a white paper which describe its internals in a scientific way. I'm not aware of any review white paper comparing or summarizing different coins in a scientific manner.

So I guess, you would have to go through the white papers yourself for coins that interest you, try to understand them, and make your own comparisons and draw conclusions.

For example:
A cryptonote white paper (the protocoll monero and boolberrry are using) is here:
https://www.cryptonote.org/whitepaper.pdf
A bitcoin white paper is here: https://bitcoin.org/bitcoin.pdf
Monero specific white papers are here: https://lab.getmonero.org/

Other coins should also have their own white papers.

Hope this helps.

p.s. about satoshi others wrote here. I dont know much about early days of bitcion.
