You won't be getting many airdrops from a coin with good governance unless it is a smart contract platform. All of the masternodes and vast majority of the other wallets went with the upgrade. No other fork is going to get any support or development.

As for investments you can look at @haejin @ew-and-patterns @freeforever for some short term Technical analysis. If you are more of a long term investor, fundamentals is a better way to invest. There are so many good ones and it's better to look at smaller marketcaps. For n example I'd invest in PIVX over Dash because PIVX doesn't even have 10% of the marketcap of Dash despite being super similar (PIVX started out as sort of a POS Dash).

NEM(XEM) is super solid and it's been around for so long and it's innovative and use cases are massive (https://nem.io/enterprise/use-cases) but it's already huge. It can easily 10X but we can have better picks down the road.

Waltonchain(WTC) is a coin I've been keeping my eye on for a long time and it's going to be a behemoth. (https://steemit.com/cryptocurrency/@vimukthi/iota-and-walton-chain-investment-analysis-and-comparison-it-s-not-a-competition-it-s-disruption)

Komodo has gread potential and few things that nobody else can offer. Their Github is very active. According to https://cryptomiso.com it is the the highest amount of Github commits in the last 12 months.

BAT is the future of internet advertising and Brave Browser is awesome. The ICO ended in 30 mins and the talent behind it is just heavenly.

https://enigma.co puts Ethereum on steroid and makes it private.

The promise of Enigma lies in its unique technology that protects privacy of data while still allowing for computation over that data.Enigma’s protocol is based on innovative privacy technologies first described in 2015 in our cofounder’s MIT thesis. With Enigma, "smart contracts" become "secret contracts", where input data is kept hidden from nodes in the Enigma network that execute code.

Additinonally I've been hugely interested in Credits, SONM, Poet, Substratum, MaidSafe, MUSE and SmartCash. check them out when you have time. I probably missed a few.I'll be making a post on Elastos very soon.

Your comments are always so thorough, and post-length!

My eye was caught mostly by Waltonchain and Komodo, so I'll check those out.

I already have BAT, invested a month or so ago, was instantly hooked with the Brave browser, it's like firefox but upgraded but with a few glitches to iron out - and so many make a coin without a working product, and here we have a whole working browser!! - and I have tripled my investment since. And nobody's resume is gonna beat "inventor of javascript" 😄
