List of coins with original code

[HCLivess]

Back in 2014 everything was stolen and forked. There are new projects now with original code. Does anyone have a list of them?

As i hear LEOcoin have or will have own code after fork but i am not tech guy to say 100% but i hear that somewhere !

don't listen this guy ...

You can check NXT, LISK, RISE, WAVE, even they are similar the codes can differe highly between them.
Check nexus.
check SlimCoin, proof of burn
check maidsafe
check ethereum ( not sure about them, it is a true mess there )
For the others i am not sure, they usually fork a normal coin, and use it with "new" platform, the actual coins use projects, and generally it is "decentralised exchange" or "decentralised assets management" and even " decentralised ads platform", so everything is decentralised, but they comme from the 1 website, 1 team .... not so decentralised.
It is up to you.

I believe the most revolutionary and distinct code was that of ByteCoin, which started the use of CryptoNote. Monero has vastly improved this code.

I think that he is more inerested in the actually used, matured, and propagated original code projects. ByteCoin is not that famous regarding Monero, and the fame level of a coin can be a good indicator of the code maturity, look at Ethereum, the popularity of the project is so high that they developped the blockchain in nearly all the possible languages ( machine languages ), now when you want to download the Ethereum blockchain you have to choose between eth and geth, and then you have to choose wether to use the JAVA, CPP, JS, GO ....

Some of the most innovative projects use a bog standard coin. Coval will just use the Counterparty chain but the platform itself is far more developed than any new coded chain.


Isn't that the whole point of these new coins, NEM, LiSK, WAVE etc to be a base for innovative projects build on top of them. My point is don't just look at new chains as innovation, it's too blinkered. Do we even need all these supposedly innovative platforms anyway?

Yey! I have caught a big liar.

I quite agree with this.

Sasha was making waves be a bad project.

Why is that coin worth nearly nothing? I often hear it was an original code that was capable of some outstanding things?

What about decred? Is it in one of those categories above?

Yes hmmmm its called opensource; and its kinda the whole point.

three further points.

1) I've not seen any 'original code' types that do what btc was designed to do better then btc.

2) I've seen a few copy paste types that certainly do better then btc was designed to do.

3) plenty of the copy paste alts that have been around prior to 2014, have evolved to the point much of the code is far removed from what btc has evolved into (which again is kinda the point to btc code being opensource).

The original dev was a genius coder, but didn't care about anything like community development or marketing. He left a long time ago, other people have kept qora going since then. Most of the original 130 ico investors thought they were sitting on another NXT that would reach 100M USD marketcap and make them all rich within a few months of the launch in may 2014, some deliberately tried to pump price to over 100 sats with a 'we wont sell for under 100 sats' campaign ... it all ended badly, many early buyers got burnt and left. The distribution is good now imo. The tech is definitely A-grade though, and with the dev long gone it's 100% decentralised and leaderless, so a potential black swan, and cheap as chips still.

Yeah, decred looks like original new code too

Also WBB - Wildbeastblock? https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=952619.0
Lithium - not launched yet claims to have 100% new source code https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1717241.0

Just a couple I've come across recently.

Sorry but I don't agree with this statement. If you look at software development in general, it is completely normal to build on top of foundations made by others. This is the basis of the entire open source movement. It is the reason permissive licenses exist to allow for reuse under various circumstances. Take a more concrete example - many games that are made by AAA publishers now use an engine and framework from one of the big Engine houses like Unity or Unreal. Would you characterise this as stealing the code of the original engines? Of course not.

I'm sure there are some copy and paste coins that do nothing more than change a few magic values and names. But there are many that introduce new algos and new mechanisms on top of the foundations shared by the Bitcoin team. I don't think it's particularly valuable to differentiate which coins are coded from scratch (if indeed any are - I'm dubious of this) from those who use open source permissively licenced code and build on top of it.

You make Qora sound interesting. What does it have that makes it stand out?

I think Lisk and Rise have same code. But now, rise developer writing their code

[Febo]

I just realised that mapofcoins.com project is over. They had lots coins listed and from where they forked. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=448601.0   maybe you can find some info from those peps.

add decred and xcn kryptonite which at that time was with mini block chain features, spreadcoin coin also some nice features removing the need of a pool
