Does anyone actually maintain an alt-coin index that provides some detail content on the top 20 alt coins. Things like:

developer strength - not just number of posts but strength of the individuals and past accomplishments, commitment level
technology factors - not just a guess but some details
momentum indicators - volume, coins mined per day, hash rate, hashrate moving averages, new media links per week/month
Scam indicator - premine, scammy founders, copied technology, pump and dump precedent
Mining method and future

Just too much information and too distributed, and for the average crytpo speculator it seems impossible to do anything but guess right now.


For me this compilation even not comprehensive on everything mentioned subject still was very useful to understand at least something:
http://www.devtome.com/doku.php?id=a_massive_investigation_of_instamines_and_fastmines_for_the_top_alt_coins

That's a good one.

My short version:

- BTC is a good coin. Hold it.

- Of the cryptonote coins, only one has realistic chance of winning - the first fair launch: XMR. Buy it.

- Of the 2.0 "coins". They are actually startup stocks. Do your DD. I haven't bought any, for the lack of reason to buy.

What is your definition of fair launch?
