Now that there is a lot of Altcoin in the market, do you know how many types it has?

This type of currency is very large. Earlier Litecoin and dog breeds were among them. Although the market value of these breeds was not as good as before, they still have a certain market. There are a lot of features that mimic Bitcoin's breed, and they don’t care about themselves. The value lies in the use of more people, and the value is higher. However, once fewer people are used, their value is also low. The only source of value (price) is the number of people using the funds and the investment funds.

Platform type
Assets can be issued on it and have some application properties Assets can be referred to as platform assets, Ripple, Nxt, Bts, early ETh, Etc, Lisk, waves These can all be called platform assets because on these platforms All assets can be issued. The value of platform assets comes from the application ecology of the platform, and whether the application function of the platform is really accepted by the market.

On coinmarketcap you can find such info - Cryptocurrencies: 1578. But remember that most of them are ERC20 tokens of ETH. There are not too much coins with its own blockchains.

Anchoring asset types
Some of these types are through platform-issued price-stabilized assets that are technically secured or asset-backed, such as bitcny, bitusd in Bts, and Dgx on Eth, and even anchor value assets secured by issuer credits, such as certain transactions. The platform issued anchors the assets of the local legal currency. There is no room for appreciation of such assets, just to facilitate the transfer of equal assets, but it may lose its value due to the issuer’s lack of credit.

You can classify them by different criteria.
For example, you can classify them by the distribution: coins distributed by mining, ICOs or airdrops.

But the best way to classify them is by the technology, which can be PoW, PoS and, an old concept, but only recently brought to crypto: DAG, which stands for Directed-Acyclic-Graph.

Dividend type.This type may be a token issued on the platform, but each currency has its own dividend logic, such as the Babitian Forum shares DCS, DGX's dividend equity DGD, the value of such assets lies in the growth of the dividend mechanism behind it.

I did not understand your question at all. Please tell in detail what you mean by the word "Type". If you write this, I think people will understand what to answer!

total coin alternative 1577 and one coin is Bitcoin. so all the total cryptocoin is 1578 coins. to my knowledge it, thanks..

For now I can't say how many kinds of altcoin in crypto currency world because there is lot of token/coin are expose during bounty campaign. We can't classify it one by one.

If I'd want to classify alt coins, I'll firstly classify them into these groups.

1. Having their own blockchain
           1.1 Mineable
           1.2 Fully mined
Both of them can now be categorised according to their algorithm like SHA256, EThash, Scrypt, Cryptonote, etc.

2. Don't have their own chain and are issued on sidechain of supported coins. Eg. ETH token, NEM token, NEO token.

Coins that are limited in transaction within a website cannot be considered as cryptocoin.

You can have a look at https://coinmarketcap.com/ to see how many they are listing right now, this is not an exhaustive list however as Coinmarket cap does not list every single coin but a good majority of them will be listed here along with various links to social and forum platforms.

There are many ways to differentiate between all the altcoins. E.g., you can differentiate them based on their mining algorithm. It can be Proof of Work, Proof of Stake or the new way which is DAG. You can also differentiate based on their use cases and their target markets. Like Bitcoin is a store of value and payment system while Ethereum is a platform for decentralized applications.

Based on Coinmarketcap, there are around 900+ coins available.
You can take a look at this link https://coinmarketcap.com/coins/views/all/

"do you know how many types it has?"

You mean to say how many altcoins fall under the category as security coins? utility coins? privacy coins? and other categories?

There are definitely too many. The majority of them are just redundant with no major technology implemented.
Perhaps, if you cut the number to 100 or less, then you would see a cleaner environment.

As time goes by the coins have evolved, some lost, others are transformed or may be renamed. Classifying them might be a hard time. The best way to analyze them I guess is to understand how each is used and know how the coin fits your needs.

The essence of your question is not clear what you mean by the word type!? Type most likely is the availability of its blockchain, otherwise I see no reason to classify coins.

Around 1500 alts are already listed on coinmarketcap but i believe there are many more alts trading on exchanges, there are many many coin models are introduced now including pow, pos, profit share, dividend paying, utility tokens and many more.

The real number of altcoins is now 10 000+. That's a lot, the other problem is that they don't carry anything new to the crypto market, in most cases.

There are very, very many projects today that are very well developed and those that do not develop at all, I think that there are more such projects, well, in a couple of years, I think that most of the projects that do nothing just disappear.

Obviously, there really are quite a lot of types of crypto currencies or altcoins out there and the number is increasing. Now, without someone keeping track of how fast the numbers are increasing for us, it will be pretty hard to point out exactly just how much types of altcoins there really are here in the crypto world. But still, it is really possible for anyone to know if he does take the time and effort to really look at all the coins out there if he is really curious. which is clearly pretty taxing for anyone.

I think there is only one kind of altcoin. Btc, Eth, Lite, all of these coins and other coins are all cryptocurrencies. There is no such thing as a classification of a specific coin. They all use blockchain technology and i would say that the only difference between these coins is their value. One coin is not special compared to other because they are all the same, the only contradiction that separates them is the consistency of its value.

Altcoins appear every day and just disappear,but not all of them are of what value. According https://coinmarketcap.com/all/views/all/ there are now 1524 altcoins.

I don't know the exact numbers of altcoins. Maybe we should base on the coins which are registered on the coinmarketcap. Their numbers is continuosly growing because there are still ongoing ICOs and cryptocurrency is now becoming more popular all over the world.

I never counted it, I think pretty much maybe thousands of coins, in marketcap alone there are 1594 altcoin. the number of very many, even impossible to find out all. and most altcoins have no future, even left by the developers

I would share the altcoins by the consensus mechanisms that they use. There are already a great number of consensus algorithms, I will not disclose their theoretical part, I'll give just examples.
1. Proof Of Work / PoW (Bitcoin, Ethereum, Litecoin, Monero, ZCash, Dogecoin, etc).
2. Proof of Stake / PoS (VCash, BitBay, Peercoin, Qtum, Stratis, etc).
3. Proof of Stake Time / PoST (Vericoin).
4. Delegated Proof Of Stake / DPOS (Steemit, EOS, BitShares).
5. TAPOS.
6. dBFT (NEO).
7. BFT (Hyperledger, Stellar, Dispatch, and Ripple).
8. Proof Of Activity (Ethereum Kovan).
9. Proof Of Burn (Slimcoin).
10. Proof of Weight (Algorand, Filecoin, Chia).
11. Proof of Capacity.
12. Proof of Storage (SC).
13. Proof of Checkpoint / PoC.
14. Proof of Importance (NEM).
15. Directed Acyclic Graphs (Iota, Hashgraph, Raiblocks/Nano).

there are a thousands of tokens in markets like coin market cap so definitely coins are should have many types by its own criteria so you can check it in markets and count it so you can find any disadvantage of any coins that they have.

Crypto currencies as currency like bitcoin litecoin dashmonero and there is programing fuel Ethereum NEO and like Crypto currencies solving current problems gambling token and Supporting coins support others coin sometimes 1coin belong to more than 1 categories and  voting and related activities this is will enable the immutable tracking of voting by an individual and relies on identification being a part of the block chain world and there is also Information Technology coins and  Social and Media

Really depends how you define a type. If you consider a privacy coin like Monero to be a different "type" as a true currency like bitcoin then the possibility of an almost infinite amount of types exists as there will always be another sector or branch any individual coin could be in.

Marinecoin is one of the most promising projects.   The ICO only requires you to do proof of promotion to be part of the awesome mtc ccommunity.

There are thousands of altcoins available in the usage and many of them being launched everyday so you can go to coinmarketcap and see how many altcoin available there.But now people using crypto currency as an money making tool not as currency.

if you mean the amount of bitcoin in the market then the answer is very much, because every day there will be a new coin coming and many coin are removed, so the amount of altcoin will not be stable.

it is true even more days this number will increase, not to mention there are coins that have branches such as bitcoin so since then sometimes the market can not follow this and the effect is the mass price reduction I think every coin does not need to make its branch because it will be very harmful to the coin

Marinecoin - The project marineco.in/ is very good  and i think it is the best in 2018 because it can develop in the future.Payment System in Internet Artificial Intelligence (AI) of Things (IoT). time dilution technology. time dilution technology - artificial intelligence - self sustaining - community - fair distribution - iotclik https marineco.in/ico to do some steps and get 20000 MTC FREE.I introduce this project: hmarineco.in . it’s really good.You can earn up to 20,000 MTCJoin the discord group to talk about this project. : discordapp.com/invite/zpQyDu6 or telegram:  t.me/MarinecoinMTC

There several altcoins out there which no body can really give the appropriate number, if you wish to use CMC, that may give you a wrong figure because new altcoins are surfacing on dailly basis, there are many of them that are yet to be listed on CMC.

There is a huge list of altcoins available in the market.You can get all listed altcoins information on coinmarketcap as mostly all altcoins available on their platform.

there is a lot altcoin out there and i would say its too much to remember all of them. just buy coin in top 100 - top 200 other coin might be just a useless coin that dont have a future at all.

I like air drops, but I learned about them recently. This is an excellent alternative to the subscription campaign.
Taking the opportunity, I can advise a great air drop. You can receive 20,000 Marinecoins daily, simply by writing a post about Marinecoin.
The coin is unique in history, surpassing the capitalization of bitcoins!

The project is reborn.
Now the coin is already traded on the stock exchange (true at home, but this is only the beginning).
Now happens fair distribution (with proof of promotion), with the aim of expand the community.
The coin will have many technologies and extensions ahead (dev-less, self sustaining, machine to machine, artificial intelligence).
Therefore, I believe that it will gain value in the future.
More details can be found after the end of the distribution.

You can find easily from coinmarketcap. You will get All info about how many coin running in crypto market.

As of this writing, there were currently 1,567 altcoins listed in coinmarketcap excluding bitcoin. Did we even know that cryptocurrencies were categorized into 3 types?
Namely :
1. “Currency” Cryptocurrencies : ex. Bitcoin, Litecoin, Bitcoin Cash
2. “Utility” Cryptocurrencies : ex. Ethereum, Filecoin
3. “App/Platform” Cryptocurrencies : ex. Augur, Ox

Hello. I think there are still a lot of good ICO. Like Marinecoín.Why am I taking a break?First: Marinecoín .MTC. is based on artificial intelligence.Dev-less does not depend on miners.Second: Marital Time trial of .MTC. It was launched in 2014, and there was a time when 1.MTC. = 1.29 dollars.Third: Marinecoín has a community of over 3000 members. Currently .MTC. is giving 20000 .MTC. a day for members to follow their request.for proof of promotion. join here marineco.ín/

Oh well, there are pure coins that do not have anything on top like bitcoin, litecoin... others are privacy oriented like monero, zcash, verge.... and then all the ones that admit tokens and processes like ethereum and NEO.

Marinecoín is offering 20000 coins for each member. .MTC. was born in 2013 and is now nearly 5 years old. ctc uses artificial intelligence as a foundation. Marinecoín time dilution technology. Dilution Technology - Artificial Intelligence - Self-Sustaining - Community - Fair Distribution - iot - Spending less time reading it can change your life. link refer to marinecoín.in

Every year more and more alternatives to bitcoin appear, and some of them look very promising. They make it possible to get rid of the shortcomings of the initial blockage and create conditions for healthy competition on the market. The market has more than 1500 coins and every day is added...

so many type of altcoin have affear but honestly some of them are scammer whos hunting us, i dont really sure how much type of altcoin exactly, but for me lending type is the best.

The value of platform assets comes from the application ecology of the platform and whether the platform's application functions are truly accepted by the market.
Platform token
This category is related to the previous type. Assets (tokens) are issued on Ethereum or above, collectively referred to as the platform distribution type, usually referred to as IOU, and the credit and value of each IOU are provided by the issuer. Credit composition.
App types
Assets issued based on actual business logic requirements are similar to SCs for cloud storage, AMPs for social networks, steems for forums, etc. The value of such assets will depend on the actual growth of the application and the scale of the application.
Dividend type
This type may be a token issued on the platform, but each currency has its own dividend logic, such as the Babitian Forum shares DCS, DGX's dividend equity DGD, the value of such assets lies in the growth of the dividend mechanism behind it. Sex.
