Please list all unique coins here in this thread in terms of tech, code etc.

List goes here based on comments in alphabetical order.

ARDOR - Hierarchy of blockchains.
Ark
Bitcoin - Value system.
Chimaera - State channels, gamer's blockchain.
Cryptonite - Mini-Blockchain scheme.
Ethereum - Smart contracts.
EOS - Async Smart contracts.
IOTA - DAG, Zero transaction fee.
LISK - Side chains
NEO - Smart contracts
QTUM - Smart contracts
Raiblocks - Block lattice, Zero transaction fee.
Rise
SIA - Decentralized storage
Walton - IOT
Waves

Risecoin.. Unlike most cryptocurrencies that are only available in digital form, Rise is available in both digital and physical form. This currency has bridged the gap between virtual and physical. Therefore, you can use Rise to pay for physical goods.

I will be editing OP based on your comments.

waves is also a unique coin beside iota.

added

LISK
KOMODO
NEO
QTUM

can also be added on the list despite the fact that most of the above coins are platform for smart contracts.  ;)

Xspec
IOTA
ESP uniq algo
Waves
ARDR

Dao.casino is very unique coin, it is not a simple coin like edgeless to be used in platform. There is also a fee problem but it seems they will implement segwit. Easy $1 coin.

BAT
Walton

Among many others but these come to mind right away.

Lol. That sounds like a step back for me. The society is trying to go cashless under one major digital currency which is decentralized but Risecoin is trying to do the opposite? Might as well stick with fiat.

Disclaimer: I haven't read Risecoin whitepaper.

if we consider technological infrastructure, waves is really unique comparing to others. it has a lot to offer. I believe it will be one of those great coins later on.

I think EOS, IOTA and Waves are unique cryptocoins

It's just about the time and any coin can get us bigger profits. There is no such fixed coin which we should consider for investing into. For preparations obviously there should be a portfolio but that should be taken in smooth way. Keep it flexible always, by considering new coins to be added as you go with it. That can bring up real profits due to increasing innovative project launch.

VIB The only coin aiming to disrupt the live music industry.

I haven't seen SIA on here, it's quite unique with their cloud storage on the Blockchain.
Then we have Ethereum, which is unique for their smart contracts, it deserves a spot on your list.

Good thread, very useful. It would be great if you could also add a line or two with each coin about what makes them unique.
Will keep an eye on this, would be a good place to learn about some of the good inventions in crypto.

Keep em coming..

BNB - Binance coin : Discount on trading fees
COSS : exchange platform profit sharing
TAAS : profit sharing from long term tradings
TGT : profit sharing from short term tradings
Vslice : first ethereum based decentralized dice token (vdice)

I believe these are Tokens on top of blockchains, and are not blockchains itself.
This thread is about finding and listing unique blockchain w.r.t code, tech etc..

This thread is not about price speculation

For a list of supposedly unique coins it's a bit same-ey. Too few details on the technical side to be meaningful - Bitcoin's scripting language is quite capable of effecting “smart contracts” - for the same arbitrary definitions of “smart” and “contract” that everyone else seems to be happily taking for granted.

Unique? Try Datacoin - 128K of data stored on the blockchain per tx, Slimcoin - unique tripartite minting (by proof-of-burn, proof-of-stake and proof-of-work), Gridcoin - BOINC client, Gapcoin - prime gap search, Navcoin - unique anon system, and those are just off the top of my head. You might need to break down the technical aspects into categories and go for a “top five” in each. Top tip: ls -l ./src/qt/forms usually gives a clue to GUI extensions which may be offering special unique features and github is searchable.

(btw, every blockchain observing the bitcoin protocol is a directed acyclic graph)

Cheers

Graham

PIVX - Private currency coin with Zero Coin anonymity - the first 100% Proof of Stake coin with this feature.

CRAVE - Awesome masternode coin with Dark Send and high ongoing passive income.

CROWN - Unique application licencing and payment coin with masternodes and soon to have "system nodes" that run apps.

It is on purpose that the technical details are limited. Agree on Bitcoin scripting language[non-turing complete], but thats not on the top feature of bitcoin.
Unique in terms of code written from scratch, instead of clone\and add few extra features on top of clone.

Waves has an amazzing project in hands and a lot potencial to replace eth or became a huge rival when we talking about ICO with the huge difference you can benefict from waves tokens, since the fees will return to you in the end. I do believe raiblocks, XRB is unique as well, instant transactions and no fees, some say its the competitor of Iota, the coin has been made from the scratch and has a nice and active team working into it.

Added!

I just heard about the DAG. Its good about zero fee. But i still do not find the other advantages.

By definition are not all coins unique? Even if they were clones, they already are different from their original copies by blockchain, by price etc.

What you are looking for here is technological innovation, and some of your coins are definitely in that list. I would say for example BitRadio is unique because it was one of the few that looked to revive old methods of listening to radio, something that is dying out but brought a fresh outlook through cryptocurrency and blockchain.

I think Waves is probably one of the most unique coins on the market right now.

Ardor and Lisk a very good picks for  long term. I am sure you will make profit if you just ignore these two coins for some years :)

I think next to Waves unique coins also have ethereum. It is expensive for now, but I think it is a very forward-looking direction. I invested a little bit and counted on big profits.

So what about waves and rise? Do you find information about it why they are interesting?
Will check this thread later to see you answer!

How has nobody said ARK yet? Definite game changer.

Xtrabytes is totally unique, so much so its hard for people to understand it. I heard Suppoman the youtuber didnt understand it...but then again he is a twat.  :D


Its so many innovations as its the blockchain fundamentally done differently.



But if you need a description that shows its destintive I personally think of it as  'A decentralized google store for Daaps'

The uniqueness is Daaps are all integrated into the one chain unlike platforms like ETH and others which create other chains to make DAAPS function on a new token. Xtrabytes also can run ICO's but its the ONE central ecosytem that makes it unique and static nodes all earn money from the Daaps.

Waves is being projected blockchain for token exchange? Rise is about pluging-in different programming languages to create ecosystem?

Lykke, I think is very unique in many ways! I can't think any other unique coin!

 bitshares, digibyte, minereum

Yeah, ethereum is doing good plus its market capitalization. It actually deserves a place on the list. Waves is good

Hey mate what are these you mentioned above, and I guarantee that none of us had ever heard about them and the only unique coin nowadays is bitcoin because of its profit and its eases other crypto are used just as investment but bitcoin is used also as currency secondly this coin is accepted all over the world and this gave ease to spend it also and on top of it bitcoin is standard raiser coin so no offence in it.

Qchain is an advertising platform built on both Eth and Nem.  The dual chain isn’t their primary selling point but it is a unique feature.  Although once they become more well known I’m sure there will be a dozen dual chain copycats.

pivx and crown is also in my priority list but I didn't know crave, will check it out. especially crown is very smart one as it was long awaited one in application licensing area.

The list seems to be poorly maintained, as Graham has already mentioned. It's a pity because these threads are an opportunity to learn about different development approaches and "open your mind". So if it does not improve I'm considering a similar thread (e.g. "List of altcoin innovations").

I would mention the following coins:
- Burst - Proof of Capacity/Space algorithm, recently "re-discovered" by the Bittorrent creator. Had turing complete smart contracts before Ethereum did.
- Slimcoin - was already mentioned but not added. Unique "Proof of Burn" algorithm.
- Datacoin - idem, coin for on-blockchain data storage.
- Primecoin - old coin with an innovative PoW algorithm that searches for prime numbers.

The list already contains various unique and exciting projects like siacoin and waves but i think that CIVIC should only be included in the project simply because the idea of the project is very very promising. It is based upon the platform of identity verification with help of blockchain technology. The project makes identity verification really affordable and can show tremendous amount of growth in the future. It is already showing pretty good growth rates and looking at the current trends, you can expect it's value to cross 1$ mark within 2-3 years.

Is thre a such thing called unique coin i think BTC is unique and i call it the KING of cryptos

In my point of view LTC is a unique coin and a undervalued gem which is flying low under the radar ::)

Just found Cryptonite (http://cryptonite.info/) (XCN). The coin seems to follow an unique approach with a "mini-blockchain" and should be an original scalability solution. The concept is a little bit similar to Ardor, but it was conceived already in 2013 and started in 2014 ...

It's on Rank 482 (!) on Coinmarketcap ... It seems it had a bubble in mid-2017 that has brutally deflated. I look if I can investigate the reasons ...

Is there a  such thing called unique coin? i think BTC is unique and i call it the KING of crypto currency

Added, Thanks!

Ok

As a coin collector, there are several coins from which to choose.
i will share 5 unique coins.

UTN Universa coin for their blockchain

I suggest or want to add a token,  :D
ARN (Aeron)
CDRT (Crederoom)
CAG (Change)
COB (Cobinhood)
MCO (Monaco)

Pretty nice list of alts that you got there. However I think you missed one that has a great potential and could do an eth kinda move next alt bull run. I am talking about 0x here. With the kind of projects that are being built upon 0x, I am extremely bullish about it long term.

Walton? Just another hype coin...

There are a vast collections of digital currencies in the cyptoworld and as far as being unique, i am also following the graph of these coins as well. Here's what on my portfolio.

Boolberry
Crown
Emercoin
Factom
Metaverse ETP    
NAV Coin
Neblio
PIVX
Shift
Ubiq

I will add here Wings, which is a very interesting project. As for the alts you have enumerated, I would pick IOTA with its zero transactions.

Walton is horse shit

BiblePay (BBP)

I'm not sure if they've been mentioned but the other DAG coins are XRB (Raiblocks) and Byteball.  There are only 3 currently and they're all worth looking into as they seem to be on a slow rise currently.

what about cardano? it isn't on the list.
