I keep an eye on coinmarketcap for new coins - before it hits cmc, it's too early.
Here's the table,
http://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/views/all/If you see a '?' in the last column (7 day change), that's a new coin that's just been added to CMC and is worthy of further investigation. Sometimes CMC makes a mistakes and puts a '?' in the last column, so to make sure, check the chart to make sure it doesn't have much history.
I have a script set up to report new coins hitting CMC for me that meet certain parameters.
It's not a guarantee, but it generally throws up coins that are worthy of further investigation.
Thanks for the tip! I always get bogged down trying to weed through ANN posts for new coins but this method makes much more sense. I'll have to look into making a script of my own
I think I can figure that out, but what about these parameters you speak of? Just values from CMC?
