Disclaimer: This list is for my personal use only and not intended as investment suggestion. Do your own exhaustive research. By reading this post you accept to take your full responsibility for any decision you can make.
I'd like to create a list of truly decentralized altcoins.
My criteria are:
- open source code
- no ICO
- no presale
- no premine since the beginning
- no instamine
- no orphaned blocks for everyone during the launch
- no source files published after launch
- no initial low difficulty
- not a token
- decentralized organizational structure
- no "owner" or individual/group/company holding the majority of the stock
- has a not moderated announcement on the platform not controlled by the coin owners/community/devs
- no unknown platforms announcement
- no roll-backs or patches to recover coins,
- no connection issues soon after launch
- no last minute ANN
- announcement published in English
- no founder's rewards
- no dev fees
- no automatic allocation of funds by the code to dev team, yes to the community decided distribution of funds
- traded on a
trustless crosschain exchangePlease mention a currency that in your opinion fits into above criteria.
If you don't agree with criteria we can discuss them here as well and your opinion is welcome.
The result of this research:
- seems like at the moment there is no currency fitting into above criteria. Once BarterDex will release their v2 DEX we'll have new candidates to evaluate.
Here is the list of the coins that are compliant to all the above criteria except the last one:
1) Coins with the 24H volume over 1 BTC
- Monero (traded on Bisq)
- Vertcoin* (tradable on BlockDx, will be potentially tradable on BarterDex v.2)
- Ravencoin (tradable on BlockDx, traded on Crypto-bridge)
- Dogecoin (tradable on BlockDx, traded on Crypto-bridge)
- Namecoin (tradable on BlockDx)
- Grin (tradable on Bisq)
- Aeon (potentially tradable on Bisq)
- Burst (they are working on their own Dex)
- Blackcoin (was potentially tradadble on the v.1 of Barterdex)
- Peercoin
- Primecoin
2) Coins with the 24H volume between 1 and 0.5 BTC
(work in progress)
Small coins suggested by the participants of this discussion that fit into our criteria:
- Datacoin (was tradable on BarterDx v.1)
- B3Coin (they are working on their own Dex)
- Slimcoin
- Pandacoin

* Vertcoin has 150 coins of test premine pre-announced since the beginning
