Topic: What are all the other coins? (Read 726 times)
Those are all variations of BTC. Each one is a little bit different than the other. The main point of each one is to improve on BitCoin. Most aren't popular, and are all kinda failures.
You don't want an alt currency to become too successful, as that will dilute bitcoin resulting in both being stunted.
Those are typically coins that either try to fix something about Bitcoin that isn't broken or add something which no one wants. I've yet to see an alt coin that adds value on top of Bitcoin.
I'm all for their creation and existence though. Competition is useful.

Probably a good way to find bugs, as well.
And by developing them, people are gaining competence that is also useful within bitcoin. Just creating a trivial new blockchain is a very interesting exercise.
BTC is the awesome bitcoin.

LTC, NMC, PPC, TRC etc..

Most of them are "i'll make my own coins so i own a lot of them and i become super rich" fails... 
They're not as popular as Bitcoin, but they all have some sort of difference.
