I've categorized by "Medium/Small Cap Good Ideas," "Large Cap Good Ideas," and "Shit." This is what a few hours of DYOR gets you. I've read the summaries of all of these coins, as well as the white papers and team profiles of most of them. Usually I don't even bother further researching a coin if its premise is trash. Enjoy.
Shitty coins. These coins have shit premises, are boring and unimpressive, and/or don't solve a big problem. >ODN - Messaging / Money Transfers >XVG - Secure, Anonymous, Private Transfers >XMR - Secure, Private Transfers >ZCL - Private Transfers >DGB - Secure, Fast Transfers >CPC - Instant P2P Transfers >QWARK - Easy Transfers >AST - P2P Transers >OMG - P2P Transfers >NANO - Feeless, Fast Transers >XML - Low Cost Transfers >REQ - Request Transfers and shit on the big 4 >HPB - Dev Tools >TAU - Dev Tools >EOS - Dev Tools >NULS - Dev Tools >LISK - Dev Tools (Accessible) >OST - Dev Tools (""""Easy"""") >TEL - “Mobile companies will do what we say” >ICX - Hyperconnecting Communities for what?

Just look at the number of coins that provide dev tools or "private, secure, feeless" transfer services. So many copycats that will go nowhere, and it's impossible to tell which would even gain traction (if they would).

LUX restored its POS today and increased Masternode and POS rewards too to make up for the issues they were having. Seg Wit and Smart contracts and new exchange coming within the next 4 weeks.

Thoughts on ARDR? Surprised it’s talked about so little.
Julian Cox
On first glance, it looks like another vague "scalable platform" that doesn't even identify a problem to solve.
Aiden Taylor
Good list for the most part, really good, except for Monero being a shitcoin.
Dominic Brooks
It's weird though. Something like RLC is awesome but never moves. It's around the same price it was last May. I guess it's the type of thing that will take time to be adopted.
Hunter Richardson
You might want to factor execution into it too though
you have IOTA as a good pick, I'll agree the premise is interesting IF IT IN ANY WAY WAS PROVEN FUNCTIONAL
Their team took a good idea then basically shit on it with a lot of very arrogant/impractical/downright stupid moves like coding it in TRINARY, using their own cryptographic proofs (vs one's that are peer-reviewed/proven), and refusing to make it open source (most likely so people can't see how bad they're fucking it up)

Definitely disagree with XMR being shit, there's a real demand and purpose for private coins. Honestly bitcoin seems a little stupid without being private.
