Thanks for the helpful feedback, btcney!

I also wonder whether organizing the currencies by whether they have fixed maximum supplies / increasing maximum supplies / etc. would be helpful?

I think a lot of the discussion around how XYZ cryptocurrency has a 'market cap' that's just some tiny percentage of some other large store of value asset should take into account total potential supplies...

As a side note, one of my concerns with the proliferation of new alt coins is that it makes it much harder to claim that the cryptocurrency market as a whole refers to some scarce set of assets...having fixed maximum supplies (or even target mining rates) for specific coins might not matter as much if anyone can come along and launch a new coin, rendering the supply across the asset class effectively unbounded.

I've moved this to the service announcement section, and re: the suggestion on selecting currencies to compare against - that seems like it'd be a good improvement.
