Ripple is tough, I don't know. Hence the "??". I have difficulty even calling it a crypto really. Ripple the company can adjust the ledger any time they want which defeats the whole purpose. None the less, they definitely made their mark and deserve a place in crypto history. The best article on the long XRP story i've seen is from Bitmex:
https://blog.bitmex.com/the-ripple-story/Name changes and planned swaps are noted in brackets.
To clarify the difference between 2013 and 2014. 2013 I am doing my best to include every relevant coin, 2014 I'm only adding what people choose to send me so its missing most coins still.
New Bounty Offer!
Up to $300 for 2014 new entries. This is an offer to one person only who would like to spend some serious time on it. First person to want it gets the job, post in this thread if you are interested. I’ll send you $50 for each 50 entries you send me. Must be in same format as mentioned above. Maximum is $300 - all i can afford… So $300 for 300 entries at $1 per crypto added… but i don’t think there are that many. I guess we’ll see if someone takes this on.

If i get some donations i'd like to expand the research here to include github links and brief explanations/clarifications for the coins that have a hard history to follow. Ive been as accurate as possible, but sometimes ANN threads don't adequately show when a blockchain actually launched and went live.
Bitcoin is the most safest, the most successful and the most popular crypto currency of the present times and because of this, there are millions of people who are being crazy about the bitcoin and the most sustainable and the most volatile crypto currency has attracted the keen interest of many big companies and industrialists around the world and these people are now the bitcoin whales who are investing a lot in bitcoin so bitcoin is the topper of all the crypto currencies available in the market and I think etherum comes the second.
