could we have a seperate category for "inovative coins".
basically for coins that try to add a mayor new concept to their coin and don't just clone/change block time.
The only coins that would fit in this category atm are:
bitcoin (yes, bitcoin was a new concept)
Litecoin ( Scrypt mining)
PPC (proof of share)
Primecoin (Prime hashing)
I personally see these coins as beacons of light on the way to a better future for cryptocoins. All other coins are just a sea of clones (some nicer than others) screaming for attention, that contribute little to nothing to the concept of cryptocurrency. Bringing new ideas should be encouraged, and official recognition is one of the ways to do that.

Litecoin wasn't the innovative one Tenebrix was the first one to use scrypt.
