List of digital currencies?
Any links to a list of digital currencies organized by technology? ie: Bitcoin has countless forks characterized by nothing more than adjusting (or not) the operating parameters of the bitcoin.org code and starting their own genesis. Others may swap out the hash or crypto functions within that. While useful to list them all under the aforesaid parent technology 'Bitcoin', they are all ultimately uninteresting and a waste of time to research. A real list would group all the digital currencies by genuine differences in architecture... those archs thus resulting in their suitability to different applications, capabilities to anonymity, features for centralization/regulation, etc. So now you might have Bitcoin Paypal, Linden Some other various coin designs Currencies that pass serialized 'banknotes' around
coinmarketcap has an option to filter out pre-mined and non mineable, a diff of the main list and this one would make a great start for a list https://coinmarketcap.com/views/filter-non-mineable-and-premined/ As far as i know these are the ones that aren't just a bitcoin fork: Ripple NXT Mastercoin Ethereum Coinffeine MAIDsafe Smartcoin Protoshares If you're starting a google doc spreadsheet, I'd be willing to help, pm me with an invite On Tue, Jun 24, 2014 at 4:02 PM, grarpamp <grarpamp@gmail.com> wrote:

agreed. but have you seen the majesty of my wuffie?
I'd like to see Sia added to the list, not very mainstream but it's the only quorum based cryptocurrency (that I know of) www.siacoin.com On Wed, Jun 25, 2014 at 12:08 AM, coderman <coderman@gmail.com> wrote:
