Sorry for too late move. But, i am also not like to post on wrong bord. 
So now moved 
So now moved 
But Namecoin was the 1st Alt..Interesting! I recently did a search of eBay logs, looking for the first storage items to show up ..a ton of feathercoin stuff. Do you know if this coin was really popular back in 2013 and if so why?
I can recall the name but I can't remember it standing out in any way, I don't even remember from which coin it was forked, just another shitcoin.
Thanks!
From their website ( It's a better bitcoin, a block a mn- which will surely hold up with some actual traffic
)"About Feathercoin
ACTIVELY DEVELOPED OPEN SOURCE CRYPTOCURRENCY
Feathercoin was conceived as a coin that is lighter than light, hence the featherlight name. The coin takes its lightness and suitability for featherlight payments from its faster block processing (one block every minute) and the generous supply of 336 million coins (of which about 210m are currently in circulation).
OVER 5 YEAR HERITAGE
The genesis block and initial blog post from Peter Bushnell about the release of Feathercoin on bitcointalk date back to April 16th, 2013. Feathercoin, as one of the oldest Altcoins, has proven the test of time. It is also still being actively developed by its founder and a small but strong open-source community contributing to the project.
FOCUSED ON USER EXPERIENCE
Feathercoin is an upgraded and customized version of Bitcoin initially forked from Litecoin’s source code. Users have very easy access to two wallets (FeathercoinCore and Electrum) that work exactly like Bitcoin, but with faster block processing. In addition to these desktop wallets, Feathercoin is supported by various mobile wallets and blockexplorers".

It's just unfortunate that namecoin did not grow like Bitcoin, this proved that even with the current status of bitcoin now, there's a chance that it will be replace by other coin in the future.

Thanks for sharing such information, you got me educated about the first exchange and the first altcoins as I didn't know that though I've been here for like over 3 years already. Moreover, I agree with tranthidung to move it in the right board.
This thread is not belong to Meta, and I think it should be moved to Altcoin Discussion.
I am found some information about 1st exchanger, 1st altcoin, 1st ICO
Let's see with me:
