I have followed bitcoin for some time but mostly watched alt coins from afar until DOGE came out. I see a lot of options in the market now and would like to diversify my portfolio but am frankly timid due to the sheer volume of options. Can the community suggest some alts that I should research for potential investment? Please let me know why you suggest it (plus vs minus). Thank you.

Best of luck filtering through these replies. And I mean that a heart-felt sincerity.

After spending hundreds of hours researching various altcoins, I was stumbled across a coin with a very interesting developer, a developer calling himself akumaburn. Finding information on him was harder that learning about Satoshi himself. Apparently this was by design, as he prefers to work alone and in secret. Like the great cue maker Gus Szamboti, he does not seek fame or fortune but instead strives to create the most perfect altcoin code.

He has recently revealed that he's nearing completion of a new Goldcoin (GLD) client that includes an updated version of his 51% defense and a rewriting of much of the original Satoshi code. I suggest you try to find out more about this man, his code, and his goldcoin.

If the new client turns out to be a great as some experts are expecting, this goldcoin could surge to fantastic heights this spring when the source code is released.

source code released?? won't that just mean every other clone just rips this off? i have some gld and like the name but is there a reason to do all of that work then make it open source? i guess nxt would have been cloned 1000 x now if they really released the source.
