... so is different from bitcoin.



The Nxt clones like HZ and NFD are no doubt the same.

Monero uses EdDSA, specifically the Ed25519 implementation of EdDSA.

I'm looking for a list of cryptocurrencies which do not use the same ECDSA as Bitcoin.

To give the inverse case, from what I understand, altcurrencies like Litecoin, PPCoin and Teracoin could all use the same public/private key pair as a Bitcoin transaction.
