With all the noise created in the altcoin section it is really hard to figure what coins are promising, especially since the vast majority are just clones.

There are some interesting ones out there but the one that seems definitely the most promising at the moment is NEM.

Main reason being:
- Impressing technical aspects: 100% innovation written from scratch with new PoI algorithm and many very promising features. This innovation makes it more energy efficient, scalable and sustainable over time.
- Most fair distribution and best beginning of any coin. The coin has not even been launched yet but there are around 3000 stakeholders waiting to get their hands on the coin and do whatever it takes to get this to the next level.
- Brilliant dev team and great community. The dev team is putting a lot of hard work into every step of the development process and the results are already visible. The community is rapidly growing and is full of talent waiting to contribute to this interesting experiment.
- There will be no inflation for this coin since all the coins will be distributed at the beginning. So as the new features are unveiled and the coin gets more traction because of all the value it creates, price will probably skyrocket.

This is no get rich quick scheme or pump and dump coin. This is an interesting and long term project with an immense potential to become very big.

But don't trust me for my word, do your own research, make your own choice and see you in the NEM community.


P.S. Seems the price for a stake will maybe be somewhere north of 5 btc/stake right after the launch. As more people become aware of this New Economy Movement and its great potential you can guess what will happen.

Update: I will add that this coin will probably be competing hard with Nxt(which is very interesting and promising as well) but will have the enormous advantage of a fair and well organized distribution which could prove instrumental.

Others can add to this but I love Blackcoin because its simple.

There is so much your going to miss that is great about blackcoin but the TLDR is:

Fast // 10 sec confirmations, fully confirmed within 10 confirms
Low inflation // 1% annual, no penalty for spending as staking can occur after 8 hours
Tons of interest // top 5 volume coin consistently every day for 6 weeks? you better take notice
A real smart dev, (fixed mintcoin without a request? +1 Rat4)
3 separate investor groups working parallel
Coinkite // We will see how big this is in a few months
Awesome Community leader Soepkip who at the drop of the hat brought in the Dogeofwallst and his fantastic team and built the best multipool on the planet within a week. www.blackcoinpool.com
Blackcoin is not restricted to any regoin
No IPO
No Premine
ASIC have no negative effect on price, only neutral or positive

There are things I'm missing but things move so quick, I wouldn't be surprised to see blackcoin at 1+USD/bc and listed on BTC-E within a month or so.

Other people will be able to explain this better, but 2 of the key factors that i can think of off the top of my head are;

-PoS instead of PoW, no miners to dump the prices, eliminating value inflation and miner dumps
-a community that is ripe full of projects and enthusiasm. someone posted the other day, we are the 3rd highest thread in posts on the BitcoinTalk Announcement section, which says a lot.

there is much more, but i'm just a guy who bought in. many more people can enlighten you to the opportunity offered here.

the mock-up design looks great.
