list of alt-coins that are *dead*?

[behavioralneuroscience]

Instead of asking which alt-coins are the best or which will survive, I figured I'd ask which are already for dead or on their way out and why? the closest I could find is this list, which is a little dated at this point:

An updated version (5-29-13) of the list in your link is available here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=134179.0

Keep in mind that different people have different opinions of what is "dead". For example, I'd say that Chinacoin (CNC) could be added to the dead list (no dev support, network has little hashing power) as well as many others that appear in the new/candidate categories of the above link. Additionally, there are just so many coins being released lately (nearly all are failures, many are already dead) that it'd be hard to track and make a complete list of them all.

Looks like BTC is one of the only ones that are holding any weight

Um, I was thinking of creating a new coin as well. Seems it is a bad idea

I read somewhere on different forum that reason some of the other coins are dying of is because of BTC miners with large mining rigs switch their processing power to the one of the newly created coins to mine the shit out of it until no one is interested in it anymore as it is easier to do with new coin than with an established one as BTC.

I wonder if there is any truth to this...
