What do you mean with original blockchains? The only and only original blockchain is the Bitcoin blockchain. The concept of blockchain didn't exist before Bitcoin.

A blockchain that was built from scratch.  Not a cloned blockchain that the code was copied.

I agree the bitcoin is the first original original

NXT, but kind of ICO scam.

Bytecoin, but super instamine scam. Monero is there best fork.

Bitshares yes.

Namecoin and huntercoin are both BTC forks I think, not sure about namecoin, but maybe different enough to qualify as original.

Ha I guess I am the old man in the room. When I started with crypto it was just:

1. Bitcoin (sha256)
2. Litecoin (scrypt)
3. Namecoin (sha256, merged mining, decentralized DNS)

That was it. Total landscape. Life was simple.

Maybe this can help a bit: http://mapofcoins.com/

You see there:
BTC forks Map
BCN forks Map
NXT forks Map
XRP forks Map

All 4 are different tech.
