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!

Hello!
We've planned a big update for http://mapofcoins.com/on this week! We're going to release its extended and upgraded version.
We’ve made significant changes to the website design and structure.
Till that moment mapofcoins.com was just an electronic library for exploring Bitcoin and its forks’ specifications, while very soon you will find two more sections: “Technologies” and “Contribution”.
The first one will include all cryptocurrency technologies that famous currencies are based on.
“Contribution” section is created to enhance our communication. You will be able to take part in enrichment of the cryptocurrency library as well as inform us about defunct coins and new coins / technologies.
Please don’t hesitate and write here all issues about cryptocurrencies’ specifications you’ve noticed on the old website. We’ll be glad to take them into account before rolling out the new version.

Nice website!
I just wanted to make one correction that Goldcoin (GLD) launched in May 2013 not July 2013.

Looks like a reasonable list of coins based on successors (Although not very familiar with that area myself)
Thread links to a list of the the coins that are using Darkcoin innovations.

Nice to know haven't checked this in a few days but neat stuff
He-He love when Not Bitcoin Forks are listed it goes down dramatically
Thanks for the update
Ps: Maybe I missed them but where would maidcoin or mastercoin variants go under

Now that's seriously awesome!
How long did it take you to dig up all that coin data?

hi there,
i really like your approach!
i can imagine to keeping all the alts up2date is pretty time intensive,
so here my 2 cents:
DRK ( sadly also named like DARK: darkcoin)
hash: x11 POW
site: http://darkcoin.io/
ann: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/anndash-dash-dashorg-first-self-funding-self-governing-crypto-currency-421615
btw, i m not sure if DARK is still going...

Hey there. Nice visualization. Thanks
You might want to include zeitcoin https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/zeit-community-knights-ultra-low-inflation-micro-payments-487814

Hooray! Mapofcoins was updated!
1. Yes, we've added a search option: you may easily find out all coins you want to.
2. Number of cryptocurrencies on the top of the screen - now you don't need to count coins manually, if you want to know how many of them exist!
3. All coins launched in February were added to the site
4. "Donate!" button ^_^

It's very good and useful detail on each coin when those are clicked.. though perhaps some users will miss that detail is avaliable.
I wonder you could also throw the same data into a d3:cluster dendrogram http://bl.ocks.org/mbostock/4063570 as an alternate way for the user to choose to display this detail.

We have thought about it. And it was something like this at first warning! may cause brain damage
I understand, that mapofcoins is not perfect and as informative as it could be. But we try to do our best. There is a plan to implement filters and search option to help it to become better.

Very cool, but lots of wrong information about coins on there.
You should probably proof read over the top 10 major coins to fix any wrong info.

This is really useful, great job.
Looking forward to the XRP, NXT, MSC types on board.
Would also be good to be able to type in a coin and it gets highlighted so you dont have to go looking for it.
