can we pls list a new coinmarketcap without ripple then pls

[zero3112]

I know about https://coinmarketcap.com/ but is there anything out there that lets you filter out clones and all the cyrptos that are not different then bitcoin?
I am looking for alt coins that do something different. I do see there's these meta layer coins or asset coins that seem to trade like crypto but seem to run on ethereum, neo or nxt networks.

These asset coins from some of the ones I have seen are more like IPOs and seem to be like a stock in that company. I am wondering what the tax treatment on them is they look like unlicensed security to me and nothing like the other cryptos that are more like currencies.

[Mary_Swift]

I like what you do by creating this list because it will help people to get information about the coin but if there is an update it will be even better

Actually, such a list helps people to systematize efforts to find and test new ICOs in which it would be possible to invest money.

Greetings to everyone!
There is a pretty new anonymous cryptocoin that currently has a low price, but began to grow in the last days.
Its called BitcoinZ. Here is a video describing it and an interactive explanation of the zkSNARKS - Zero Knowledge algorithm.

Have a nice day!

Thank you! A lot of useful information. Do you have any acquaintances who earned a fortune in mining? Or it does not bring much profit?

What is the point of publishing a leaf if new tokens are issued every day? Most of them are totally illiquid. You won't even be able to sell and buy them. It is necessary to select from them liquid and then it will be valuable.

Thanks for the useful information! I hope that I can use it in the future! But I'll read it for sure. Useful for learning.

How can we stop a new coin every day? This will eventually kill the whole idea, because it can not be sustainable to have hundreds of virtual currencies?

I haven't looked much into this but is Crime coin where you get your coins stolen?

Well done for everyone that have been giving the list. Extensive list of all cryptocoins can also be gotten on cryptocurrency market capitalization (cmc)

that was an unfair joke targeted at NVC. i'm sorry i did that, you seem to actually be an ok dude despite the NVC premine. i shouldn't have been so rude to you after you have been so nice to me. Btw, you are doing great work repairing PHS.

CHNCoin should move to died/dying, stuck at high difficulty + clients are missing seed nodes (still stuck at 0 blocks on my newly installed client)

this list was created 5 years ago! Just look at how much the crypto currency market has changed over this time. Hundreds of new coins appeared, many of them died. It is very interesting to observe the development of this area in the world.

Brilliant list..

think i posted this before.. but what constitutes PPC coin to be listed amongst BTC/LTC/NMC as major?

[Sithara007]

This list was made more than five years ago. Since then, a large number of the alts disappeared without a trace and many new ones came to the picture. If I am not wrong, right now there are somewhere between 5,000 and 5,500 different coins and tokens which are traded on various exchanges. If you add the dead coins, then the number may cross 10,000.
