Go get the weed family or drug related cryptocurrencies they are good coins to invest in for medicinal purposes,

DOPE,WEED,POT,420 something i cant remember.

Your effort is valuable!

First of all, I'd separate tokens from actual coins. Then, why did you put IOTA twice? Also, all the 'zero' coins should be added to privacy list, not only ZEC...

Thanks ..

I'm trying ..
I can't possibly keep up with +1375  coin/tokens 
GBYTE and IOTA qualified for more than one category

I'm looking for input from the community for
both category designations and the appropriate coin/token

I'll add links to the corresponding Bitcointalk  [ANN]  threads
and also the coin's/projects specific .org web sites ( if any )

Just thought this would make a useful reference as blockchain tech evolves
Maybe at some point the mods will "sticky" this to the top of the Alt Coin discussion page ..

WasTriffin

To this I will add decentralized exchanges since I think that category is going to become big in the future and I think you should also add smart contracts platforms since they are very popular, it will be interesting to find out with how many categories we finish.

Good Category of Altcoins but I think you only picked those coins on what you have and some coins should be included too to be able to get to know by some holders as the reference for their coins. Some coin owners including me has no idea what those projects are all about.

That's why I thought this might make a useful future reference  ;)

ok, but if I am not mistaken then this list is far from complete and so you can add a lot of coins

We're just getting started here ..
That's why I'm reaching out to the community at large for input  ..
This list will only be useful if people contribute ..

Suggest  a category
Suggest  appropriate coin or project

Only two criteria ..

existing coin/project
active current development

You probably would like to classify the coins in "utilities" and "dividends". TAAS and Astronaut are dividend, and Quantstamp is promising token airdrops for holdlers. Including the sector would further refine you clasification.

A good link to put next to XSPEC (Privacy category) is the wiki page: http://coinwiki.info/en/SpectreCoin
Alternately, Spectrecoin's official website - spectreproject.io - could be used, but it is rather threadbare at the moment, as we await the completion of a totally redesigned website.

I'm still mulling how to best classify coins/projects that have an income component ..
That's why I went with the links for MasterNode coins rather than list them all ..
A few years ago numerous POS ( proof of stake ) projects were launched ..
( way too many POS coins to list here )

I'd also like to identify projects ( regardless of category ) that have the following attributes

- a dev team
- a clearly stated development roadmap
- a self funding mechanism to ensure future development can happen

OP .. updated ..

WasTriffin ..

With your post you gave me a blink in the future. For example if i will have to make a payment there will be a lot of options, an entire list.
