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?

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 Smiley
Thanks. It's a zombie.  Cheesy

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

Flogging my own horse here.

eMunie

Encrypted anon transactions
Encrypted messaging system built in
P2P Exchange
Automated supply model via demand signals (stability!!)
51% attack resistant
No specialist hardware required to "mine" (or hatch as its called in eMu world)
Interest payments on POS

Lots more fun stuff
