Most of the currencies listed are absolute junk

[nimdahk]

The vast majority of the currencies listed are simple ripoffs of the Bitcoin source code, repackaged with a new name and icon, intended to make the "developer" a quick buck. The only ones worth listing at all (i.e. have an actual economy / community) are Bitcoin, Namecoin (for the .bit dns), and maybe Litecoin. Maybe.

Yeah, I came to that conclusion too. I'll mark them as such under a specific heading so that others are aware they are derivative/ripoffs.

Would like further feedback to make sure that we're not being arbitrary ;)

Although many are rip offs...Litecoin would be the closest one to an actual ripoff...with no actual work on the LTC project in over a year...yea, I'd only be invested in LTC for kicks and giggles...Prime Coin (Besides NameCoin & BTC) would be a worthy mention....although I would only have it as a secondary option if an individual really wishes to diversify their crypto-currency portfolio.
