Opal has a really strong foundation and Devs that have a great direction. Check out o-pool.com. It is holding value and on the rise consistently.
I have to agree with you on this. Opalcoin has a solid foundation with a very ambitious development group. It has a promising roadmap and holding strong on the markets. I will venture to bet its one of the shining stars throughout the rest of 2014 and one of the top alts into 2015.
