There are so many alt coins out there. Primecoin seems solid to me, but will it last?

What makes it stand apart (if anything) that will survive the test of time?

Or do you think it will just die out like so many other alt coins?

Very solid, it will last

It stands apart because of its amazing contribution to science ( see primecoin record books), its already made history. That is the true test of time.

No, it will not die, ever.... Unless we find out that there is an end prime, a prime with no larger prime. If such a thing even exists it could take ~100,000 years of technological advancement .

Research coins are the next bitcoin. BTC was worth 3 cents for a while... XPM, jumped to almost 2 $. holding somewhat steady at about 50 cents each... compare that to the birth of bitcoin and its relative worth.

+1 Primecoin ( i wish i had a large prime number of prime coins )
