As a newbie, I have little experience in choosing a promising altcoin and there must be some important thing that I don't know now in the process of choosing a altcoin. I want to stand on the shoulders of giants and I hope you can teach me something. Thank you.
A good altcoin... what does make an altcoin a good one? The price? the volume? the weight on the market?
Good altcoin by price:
All of them will bump at some point.
Good altcoin by features:
You can find features like smart contracts, or fast blocks. for that take a look to ETH
Good altcoin for mining:
You can go for burst, that coin gets mined by hard disk. Other options are clams and peer coin who get mined by staking.
So, if you want to get an altcoin to have fun and make test with the coin core, and learn how to manipulate them with command line, i recommend dogecoin, this way each test will be cheap
