-LQC Liquidcoin made to be very fast at constant difficulty, dead [pool closed, exchange closed]

NOT BTC ALTERNATIVE / NEVER FULLY LAUNCHED:
(do not have bitcoin characteristics or never active )

-JPU J-Coin- YAC clone? no source - not a true crypto!
-EMU Emunie- Not launched yet, closed source beta only. May be a big thing - coin based on trust, not hashpower. Yet unknown if will be decentralised and opensource or ripple-like.
-MSC mastercoin- Not launchet yet, but you can buy them already. coins created by buying them with bitcoins. operates on a bitcoin blockchain.
eCash historical try for digital curency by David Chaum, operational but died. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DigiCash
DigiCash was the company that made eCash . Possibly where Bitcoin came from.
Ripples XRP- , no mining - all coins available at start 80% foundation, and 20% develeopers. centralized, not opensource. not designed to be a currency, but an IOU exchange. Very innovative and usefull, but "not an altcoin"
Amazon Coin - centralized private scrip launched by Amazon and pegged to USD, not cryptographic at all, just a name.
WEEDS never realy active and now dead
Groupcoin - still alive but never realy active
Opencoin - opensource version of digicash, opencoin.org , not launched yet
RealPay 100% coins at start, centralized, never realy launched ,site is dead
Qubic coins are produced at the rate determined by quorum of miners, not set by developers. Never launched.
Swiftcoin company operated, centralized and pegged, not opensource http://www.firstnationalbnak.com/faq
SMC smallchange functioning blockchain, but made just for research. might be a coin if reset.
-barcoin-functioning blockchain, but made just for research.

Goed topic. Houdt de discussie over bitcoins in algemeen en altcoins gescheiden.

In welke altcoins zitten jullie momenteel?

Ik heb gister een berg Quarkcoins gekocht, inmiddels zo'n 3 keer over de kop gegaan. Heb ook peercoins, feathercoins en megacoins.
