I like DRK, XMR, and NXT. I also like to root for underdogs of underdogs, so I have a small bet on Boolberry (BBR). They have aliases for the long cryptonote addresses, as well as a GUI. They're still young, with a small coin count. Also, they're not listed on coinmarketcap yet so they are flying under the radar. Check them out when you get a moment.
I have, but there is a Huge Huge problem with Boolberry. That's because they use the aglorithm Wild Keccak instead of Cryptonote. There is a private gpu miner for Wild Keccak, as users have been getting on average, 7,000 boolberry per day using the private gpu miner...I recently saw a 80,000 boolberry sell on Poloniex also..

Boolberry has been extremely instamined, most likely more than 50%.
This isn't a reason not to invest. All CPU-targeted coins like XMR are mined with huge botnets. That's every bit as ugly as private GPU mining.
Private mining software is what it is. I'm quite sure DRK was mined with private GPU software before public release. And, as we've now learned, the earliest versions of sph-sgminer weren't very efficient at X11. Who knows how long a more optimized version was being used privately? I will never attack someone for being clever enough to build their own mining software to gain an edge. That's part of what drives the cryptocurrency economy. BBR is still very young, and there's plenty of opportunity for someone to write a GPU implementation of wild keccak to steal back the private miner's edge.
