interesting thread. will definitely watch it
Quark (QRK) deserves a spot on here. Multiple different hashing algos makes it stand out from a lot of others and this also makes it quite secure to mine. Definitely innovative.
Multiple hashing algorithmsWas QRK the first?
I think I heard of RU having it first.
"RuCoin project is not intended that any develop and improve, and vice versa, is the most conservative position in order to maintain and use all that has been proven in Bitcoin." https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.577990
No, it does not sound like it from that. Later though they added dual hashes from what I read, to try and become more 51% resistant. Will try and see if I can find the info again later when I have more time.

Interesting but "NOT a fork of the BitCoin code" (seriously?). So it can not go on this list.
Also coins on the list must have been publicly launched. Code should be public so claims can be verified. Will add these additional requirements to the OP.
Hmm ok, but you said innovative alt's, not innovative alt's based on BitCoin code...
And yes seriously, there isn't a single line of "BitCoin code" in there anywhere, total clean wipe with our own methods and algorithms.
I don't know if your coin will be a success.
We live in an idiocracy and marketing, advertising tactics, buzz are much more important than innovation.
LOL I guess so.
I haven't started on any of the "important" point you outline above yet, maybe I should get a move on

Ahh and the waiting game for truly innovative thinkers has started. Wait and watch the magic happen, the truly innovative thinkers will shine. Not to mention any names. Cough...cough...Emunie.

Is it very useful?
It would be nice if we have 5 - 10 coins, very different, with fixed prices, and not that crap
I have not tried it but the way I imagine it it would be useful and innovative.
Add
Luckycoin - random blocks
Novacoin - scrypt/pos hybrid
Cosmoscoin - novacoin/florin hybrid. Zero transaction fees.
PHS - novacoin/florin/luckycoin hybrid. With 50% POS per annum.
YAC - Scrypt-jane . modified scrypt algo
How is cosmocoin or PHS innovative? Stop throwing random things that coins have.Luckycoin - random blocks
Novacoin - scrypt/pos hybrid
Cosmoscoin - novacoin/florin hybrid. Zero transaction fees.
PHS - novacoin/florin/luckycoin hybrid. With 50% POS per annum.
YAC - Scrypt-jane . modified scrypt algo
Junkcoin: 1st random block (though can be pre-calculated)
Luckycoin: improved random block computation by using previous block hash, so can not pre-calculated unless the previous block hash found. Also luckycoin added accelerated diff adjusting to limit instamine
Diamond: 1st Pow/Pos coin with random blocks.
and,
Infinitecoin: fast fair distribution of large amount of coins, a lot more fair and decentralized as compared to Ripple.
Junkcoin: okay.Luckycoin: improved random block computation by using previous block hash, so can not pre-calculated unless the previous block hash found. Also luckycoin added accelerated diff adjusting to limit instamine
Diamond: 1st Pow/Pos coin with random blocks.
and,
Infinitecoin: fast fair distribution of large amount of coins, a lot more fair and decentralized as compared to Ripple.
Luckycoin: no. DMD: no. IFC:no.
The point is innovative features, not the first coin to combine features that others invented, or fair distribution of coins.
Then how did ANC, DGC, Ixcoin make it to the list?
In 2007 Iphone was listed on the top 5 innovative product of the year. All apple did was combine all available tech in a single rectangle box.

I don't see a lot of innovation in these:
Luckycoin - fancy block rewards
Novacoin - previous stuff hybrid
Cosmoscoin - previous stuff hybrid, small parameter change
PHS - previous stuff hybrid, small parameter change
YAC - This was a little more innovative because it was the first coin to experiment with high memory requirements. Still only parameter changes?

Yeah, I was undecided... but IMHO it paved the way for what came later.
There is also memorycoin, which has a vote/grant system.
Check.Ixcoin isn't dead, I guess.
It's traded at Cryptsy and it's merge mined
Thanks. It's a zombie. It's traded at Cryptsy and it's merge mined
SC still processes transactions and is traded as well on mcxnow.

Do you know what does "innovation" mean??
DGC is a copycat coin without innovation. There is only 1 or 2 lines added and you call that innovation??
Some coins like megacoin are much more innovative but they make less noise..

Theres technical innovation, then execution innovation. Iphone falls into the latter IMO.
