I added Rimbit to the poll. The poll already has 141 votes, so the relative Rimbit percentage must be rebased accordingly (especially since voters can't change their prior votes unless I reset vote count to 0).

In addition to numerous instances in the comments and write up on the Indiegogo campaign of Rimbit promoting the future rise in value of the Rimbit tokens it is selling on Indiegogo, there is also this additional evidence on Bitcointalk.org (the prominent crypto currency speculation forum):

Rimbit does exactly the same things as Bitcoin, but in such a way that it has removed all the complication, industrialization and centralization
We removed all the junk associated with Bitcoin
As Bitcoin is now starting to fail due to mining, will you have Rimbit, the most logical Champion to Bitcoin that has been built to last forever.
It is the only currency that has a future that can be passed down through Generations!
Bitcoin gained in value over the years, can Rimbit do the same?
Bitcoin went from nothing to over $300 plus [...]
The same can be said about Rimbit, so all it takes to make Rimbit soar, is for everyone to promote Rimbit around the world. The more people doing that, the quicker it will grow and the higher value it will get.
For example, Etherium has skyrocketed to $13 in a year and that is all due to its community getting behind the coin.
The answer is again a matter of being Simple.
We want to keep all of Rimbit out of Corporate hands, so we dont end up like Bitcoin.
Compare what Rimbit writes here in this forum:We are now discussing getting some Corporate Investors to take Rimbit to the next level.
Some of the features Rimbit does have are:- Premine - No guessing the future as all coins are available for the consumer
First option was to give it away.
This did nothing for the value, nor did it help develop the coin, even though we do admire people working to create free software, but also knowing these people have bills to pay
The second option was to premine 100%, an option that we didnt want to do, due to public opinion, but we did want to do, because it solved many issues surrounding crypto.
We could pay for developers, staff and services needed to run a coin
We could setup a system that when the community started to increase in numbers, that the community could start taking over the daily operation of Rimbit and get paid to do it as we slowly started taking a backseat to the community, thereby moving it from full centralization to a community group managed decentralized coin.
[...]
We dont believe we need any whizzbang features, because Rimbit is built just to be a simple currency
But, as we decided to take the big chance of going against everything Crypto by doing what we did, We knew that there would be an inherent dislike
[...]
Rimbit's shareholders are its members
Not to mention they are lying about being the first to sell an ICO, do proof-of-stake, and to use stake to do governance voting. Bitshares and Nxt already do this. I caught Rimbit changing the title of their Indiegogo campaign, ostensibly to hide the fact they were just scamming on the jealousy emotions of speculators:
The current campaign title is:
