This could be our motto:
'XJO -- No one is going back in time to create more 2013 coins.'
Awesome thanks.
You really think cmc is unreliable for 2013 and earlier? I know they are selective, but i figured with that age they'd have made the list by now. Also, at the end the day of I have to set a limitation somewhere, cmc is an easy mark. Suppose a coin was launched 2013, was a total scam delisted everywhere, dude who mined it alone for 2 years re-launches a "market" on a scam exchange. I worry that if I don't set my bar around an existing professional assessment of legitimacy i'm the one calling shots on what does and doesn't count (not where i want to be with this).
I love that necronomicon list too, but always wished there was a similar list of still active coins. Can't really used the dead list to help me. . . .Its so weird you can't quickly look up sites that have a simple list of launch dates and which is oldest.
You clearly have a handle on this; and if you choose to undertake this project,
go, you!! But be careful what you wish for!
There are over 5,000 cryptos out there. For example, 'DVC' --
https://nxtforum.org/asset-exchange-general/distributed-vault-coin-('dvc')-an-anthropological-experiment/?PHPSESSID=ig51441b42qn574aij180900q0 -- was a sweet little success; but you likely won't find it on a list because it was the in-house instrument on a p2p exchange.
[And there was a guy called 'Coin-a-Day' on Reddit a while back. Undertook to analyse, and post on, a coin a day. Took about a fortnight for his brain to melt down.]
But really, as you note, it's the definitions, remi. Is a crypto 'active' 'cause it's got a marketcap? volume? if it's got no listed markets but perhaps a tucked-away p2p market? If the wallet just doesn't work? English-language-only exchanges? I don't think Dokdo ever had an English-language exchange.
And CMC? I have no axe to grind. It's an
awesome 'representative slice,' but we guess is not academically definitive or anything like it.
[Tee hee -- the com http us site? I spent an entire sweaty Australian summer afternoon in prolly January 2014 reading every single entry, in My Quest to Comprehend.]
P.s.: bear in mind, remi, that in 2013 cryptos often struggle along without an exchange for weeks after launch. Sooo hard to find cryptos that expired in that period.
P.p.s.: Although I'm not at liberty to name him, a colleague of mine
used to . . . collect old blockchains!
P.p.p.s.: can you figure out how to search specifically for Bitcointalk ANNs? BCT was the holy grail of cryptos in 2013. No crypto launched without posting an ANN thread on BCT.
