Here is HARD proof that iXCoin is the second oldest alt-coin in the world.

Nuggets (NUGs) was launched in May 2013, in the first 25 coins to ever be born.

And ShitCoin (SHT) was in the first top 50, born soon after Nuggets.

These two coins will prove to be two of the most important developments in the history of Crypto.   Wink

iXCoin is the second oldest alt-coin in the world, launched less than 2 weeks after Namecoin, with the latter being the first alt in the world.

People need to stop spewing garbage about Litecoin being the first alt when it wasn't even the first script alt.

Let's get this straight and clear before iXCoin commences its Brutal Global Domination.

Guys! I am extremely happy to announce the New update of mapofcoins.com .
We’ve made a significant progress on the cryptocurrency library.  Mostly we’ve paid attention to the functional part.
Probably you remember a giant amount of coins which was put together in a chaotic way. From now on you can perform analysis of all cryptocurrency data.

With a brand new function you can now choose the Specific Algorithm like:

SHA-2
Scrypt
Quark
X11
Boulderhash
CryptoNight
Wild Keccak
Multi-Algo
Others

and see the highlighted cryptocurrencies by the chosen Algo!


Another new feature is the division of cryptocurrencies into two groups: defunct & running. With the help of “Condition” Filter you can see which coins are developing and which are gone. If some cryptocurrencies become alive, I hope to receive a message from you. Smiley

And the other thing that cannot go unnoticed is the Visualization Part.

To help you navigate with more convenience we've made big changes to the BTC coin tree. Now you can look at the map more thoroughly and find out which cryptocurrencies have been released on any particular month.

I hope that mapofcoins.com now could be a good place not only for looking through different cryptocurrencies within the time but also a great instrument for making marketing and business analysis.




P.S. Develop and stay tuned with the cryptocurrency world!

Goldcoin (GLD) was launched in May 2013 not July 2013.  Smiley

Guys, a million apologies for such incident!

Starting Saturday there have been some technical bugs with the contribution form. In order not to loose the specs of your cryptocurrencies please fill them in the second time http://mapofcoins.com/contribution.

I'm now thinking on the user-friendly map design where you could see all the coins.

Perfectly! The next update will be this week.

Looking forward to it Smiley I have the site bookmarked and will check it periodically. There is potential here as a 'go-to' resource for cryptocurrency history. Listing them by date created would be interesting to see.


Oh! I will think about adding the filter for exact dates! It is a good idea!

This is really cool! I've been interested in a project like this, making a genesis tree of Bitcoin and all its forks. Are you planning to include ALL altcoins ever made? Or only those that maintain an active network? I really like the idea, but looks like the map is very cluttered.

Also, if you don't mind the specs for Digitalcoin(DGC) are off, it was updated to use 3 PoW algorithms, you can find all the details here: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/dgc-digitalcoin-30-multi-algorithm-improved-blockchain-storage-released-785601

I know some coins were forked from DGC and they aren't on the map; likely many of them have died off.. this is an ambitious project! I'm keeping this website bookmarked and will reference it to others. Good luck mapping this mess out!

Thank you for your contribution! We will add 3 PoW algorithms to the Digital Coin’s specifications!

Please point out the exact specifications of this coin that we need to change.

Concerning the project, we are not planning to get rid of altcoins that become dead afterwards. It is like a tribute of cryptocurrencies’ history. Also there are lots of people who want to investigate the past of cryptocurrency world.  

Another case is when the launched coins become dead immediately after their market entrance. Such coins usually have no source code or binaries available for users. If these coins are mistakenly included in the tree we would like to be the first who know about it.

I agree with you about the cluttered map. I am confident we will find another way of visualizing it. If someone has ideas we are welcome to consider them.



Excellent, thanks! Certainly hard to map so many coins. Could you make the circle larger, and add some space between the coin names? It would be cool to color code them, maybe based on # of transactions being made on each network? Any kind of indicator to show how much activity there is in the coin.

Here are the updated specifications for Digitalcoin. Also note the ANN thread and Source Code links have changed. Thanks for your work Smiley

This is really impressive.  Following the list of altcoins had become impossible, but your representation does a great job of conveying the extent of the alt coin universe.

I wonder if there is some way to include the viability or value of the coins?  But that would probably be a major effort, and this is already really nice.

Thanks and good luck!

Thank you for the feedback! I want to include the data on viability of the coins in one of the next updates.

Hello everybody!
Want to have a deeper insight into the cryptocurrency world? Then explore the visualized history of cryptocurrencies on mapofcoins.com!
 We are happy to present you the extended and more user-friendly version of Map of Coins.

https://i.imgur.com/xkfNyra.png?1

The first thing that could draw your attention is the new website design. Hope it will help you navigate easily through the website sections.

Another new feature that you may find useful is a new website section: ‘Technologies’. Here you can expand your knowledge about the cryptocurrency technologies. What is more, with your help we’re planning to enrich our electronic library.

Also, there are small changes in the website structure. Now you’ll find maps of coins based on platforms other than Bitcoin on individual pages:

Bytecoin Map
NXT Map
Ripple Map

Another thing worth mentioning with the latest update you’re able to take a closer look on the map of each cryptocurrency!
And the last, but not least, from now on you can make a contribution to the cryptocurrency world. If you want to submit a new coin or report about a defunct one you do it through the Contribution section on the website.  

There is always a room for perfection. So, dear friends, we are expecting an active cooperation on your part.

Look at my video about updated version that I've made for you, my friends!  About mapofcoins.com
