Gridcoin. Imagine is all the computing power normally spent on mining went to scientific research instead. Solid alt started the same year as Eth, crunching through petaFLOPS of scientific computing on the daily. Massively under-appreciated by those in the crypto space.

qprimed,

gonna throw out a nice generic statement.

any PoW chain that…

  • had a fair launch
  • is actively developed
  • is algo dominant
  • supports reasonably solid privacy
  • is widely accepted as MoE/SoV

is a good option.

bonus points if it…

  • is “light” on chain storage requirements
  • has reasonable on-chain scaling possibilities
  • has a quantum fail-safe

as for specific projects, LTC, BTC, XMR are all interesting because they hit various combinations of the above, with LTC being the most interesting to me.

I am looking for a fiat replacement, not an “investment”. I need that replacement to be simple, reliable and absolutely solid.

mudamuda,

I rather say “Monero” even if I dislike this coin and the community for various reasons. I need to agree that the Monero role in the wide crypto landscape is quite unique at least for now.

qprimed,

agreed on the importance of monero as a project. what issues do you have with the coin/community?

mudamuda,

There are more idealistic people in the community that technical. It is hard to discus technical blockchain things: consensus, state, contracts, zkp and how those could be useful for the further improvements of the protocol and the ecosystem. The development is slow as the result with a lack of community vision about the future of the protocol. The situation is slowly changes as the coin gains more popularity.
