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.

First implementation into a coin. If MEC implements zerocoin first, and then "insertrandomname" imeplement zerocoin with addition of "insertalreadyimplementedfeature", it's innovative?
Wth does an Iphone have to do with crypto?

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.

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: 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.

This shall become a list of Bitcoin derived alternative cryptographic currencies that came up with technical innovation. In order of appearance.

Devcoin - DVC - thread
90% of generation goes to foundation.

It does not go to the foundation. There is not a foundation even. It goes out as share rewards to people that complete bounties.

Ixcoin isn't dead, I guess.
It's traded at Cryptsy and it's merge mined

Thanks. It's a zombie. Cheesy

SC still processes transactions and is traded as well on mcxnow.
