Which cryptocurrencies are the innovative ones (for the time they were introduced)?.
Which cryptocurrency introduced ring signatures?. Which one introduced colored coins as part of its design (As used in NXT)?.
I'm interested in free as in freedom cryptocurrencies that have been the first to bring a new technology (for instance, Peercoin with its PoS). With all of the hundreds of existing cryptocurrencies, most of which are clones, it's hard to tell what are the ones that bring improvements instead of being a pump and dump scheme or plain worthless.
Note: I have checked what are the top cryptocurrencies by market capitalization, but this doesn't tells me whether they have introduced something new, and with so many speculators and people who are into altcoins just for pump and dump, market capitalization doesn't seems like a good indicator of innovation or even technical proficiency.
Thanks in advance.
