Yeah Killua, I agree that there are two aspects that need to be looked at. One side being the ability to make money with a stable and community backed coin versus a coin that the average Joe has the ability to mine and be involved with.
Being able to make your own coin is just a joke at this point, as I've seen everyone state many times over already, I.E.
http://coingen.bluematt.me/status.html Pay Mark Corallo a few bucks and bam theres your own clonecoin with whatever name you want. Those are excluded in my book even if you want to count those in the category with which you can actively mine on your own and be involved with.
Update: 345 and counting haha
