Seriously that is a lot of altcoins

[gimmezeit]

Hey there. Nice visualization. Thanks

You might want to include zeitcoin https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=487814.0

[blueface]

WOW!  That's awesome.

hi there,
i really like your approach!


i can imagine to keeping all the alts up2date is pretty time intensive,
so here my 2 cents:

DRK  ( sadly also named like DARK: darkcoin)
hash: x11 POW
site: http://darkcoin.io/
ann: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=421615.0

btw, i  m not sure if DARK is still going...

[YarkoL]

Now that's seriously awesome!

How long did it take you to dig up all that coin data?

Looks like a reasonable list of coins based on successors (Although not very familiar with that area myself)
Thread links to a list of the the coins that are using Darkcoin innovations.

Nice website!

I just wanted to make one correction that Goldcoin (GLD) launched in May 2013 not July 2013.

Amazing site, hope it is kept updated. Thank you.

Hello!

We've planned a big update for http://mapofcoins.com/on this week! We're going to release its extended and upgraded version.

We’ve made significant changes to the website design and structure.

Till that moment mapofcoins.com was just an electronic library for exploring Bitcoin and its forks’ specifications, while very soon you will find two more sections: “Technologies” and “Contribution”.

The first one will include all cryptocurrency technologies that famous currencies are based on.

“Contribution” section is created to enhance our communication. You will be able to take part in enrichment of the cryptocurrency library as well as inform us about defunct coins and new coins / technologies.

Please don’t hesitate and write here all issues about cryptocurrencies’ specifications you’ve noticed on the old website.  We’ll be glad to take them into account before rolling out the new version.

This is really cool! I've been interested in a project like this, making a genesis tree of Bitcoin and all its forks. Are you planning to include ALL altcoins ever made? Or only those that maintain an active network? I really like the idea, but looks like the map is very cluttered.

Also, if you don't mind the specs for Digitalcoin(DGC) are off, it was updated to use 3 PoW algorithms, you can find all the details here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=785601.0

I know some coins were forked from DGC and they aren't on the map; likely many of them have died off.. this is an ambitious project! I'm keeping this website bookmarked and will reference it to others. Good luck mapping this mess out!

Thank you for your contribution! We will add 3 PoW algorithms to the Digital Coin’s specifications!

Please point out the exact specifications of this coin that we need to change.

Concerning the project, we are not planning to get rid of altcoins that become dead afterwards. It is like a tribute of cryptocurrencies’ history. Also there are lots of people who want to investigate the past of cryptocurrency world.  

Another case is when the launched coins become dead immediately after their market entrance. Such coins usually have no source code or binaries available for users. If these coins are mistakenly included in the tree we would like to be the first who know about it.

I agree with you about the cluttered map. I am confident we will find another way of visualizing it. If someone has ideas we are welcome to consider them.

Hello everybody!
Want to have a deeper insight into the cryptocurrency world? Then explore the visualized history of cryptocurrencies on mapofcoins.com!
 We are happy to present you the extended and more user-friendly version of Map of Coins.

https://i.imgur.com/xkfNyra.png?1

The first thing that could draw your attention is the new website design. Hope it will help you navigate easily through the website sections.

Another new feature that you may find useful is a new website section: ‘Technologies’. Here you can expand your knowledge about the cryptocurrency technologies. What is more, with your help we’re planning to enrich our electronic library.

Also, there are small changes in the website structure. Now you’ll find maps of coins based on platforms other than Bitcoin on individual pages:

Bytecoin Map
NXT Map
Ripple Map

Another thing worth mentioning with the latest update you’re able to take a closer look on the map of each cryptocurrency!
And the last, but not least, from now on you can make a contribution to the cryptocurrency world. If you want to submit a new coin or report about a defunct one you do it through the Contribution section on the website.  

There is always a room for perfection. So, dear friends, we are expecting an active cooperation on your part.

Look at my video about updated version that I've made for you, my friends!  About mapofcoins.com

This is really impressive.  Following the list of altcoins had become impossible, but your representation does a great job of conveying the extent of the alt coin universe.

I wonder if there is some way to include the viability or value of the coins?  But that would probably be a major effort, and this is already really nice.

Thanks and good luck!

Thank you for the feedback! I want to include the data on viability of the coins in one of the next updates.

[freedomno1]

Thanks for updating that database
It's quite a lot of altcoins always reminds me of how the madness of the altcoin system grows

Excellent, thanks! Certainly hard to map so many coins. Could you make the circle larger, and add some space between the coin names? It would be cool to color code them, maybe based on # of transactions being made on each network? Any kind of indicator to show how much activity there is in the coin.

Here are the updated specifications for Digitalcoin. Also note the ANN thread and Source Code links have changed. Thanks for your work
