is there any kind of coins in here other than "bitcoin"

There are almost hundreds of different coins here now. And yet its still counting. They are called AltCoins or Alternate Coins. Some of these examples are; Doge, Litecoin, Ethereum and so many more.

There are a lot of alt coins in the market, we are nearest in thousands.
But just few here are real and some are just shitcoin or no value at all.
You can check it by your own. If you planning to buy some choose the top 10 alt coins as these have a high market cap and strong support by the community. Analyze the market and these coins.

Yes I agree with you, there are probably thousands of altcoins in the market, but if you are looking for a coin that has good price and popularity like litecoin, etherum, dashcoin, waves, and even now many new coins that have good potential.

What are you talking about? There are lots of coins other than bitcoins. Most popular are Ethereum,Waves,Litecoin, Dash..etc. Study them thoroughly before you invest on them. I suggest you to read the forum and get the knowledge about altcoins first.

There is genuine sincere real digital currencies then scammy schemes for profit.

If i launch an "Ass Itching Platform" and tack on a "token" it doesn't make it a currency or..
anything vaguely legit.

This isn't the Crypto-Stock Market and these are NOT Penny Stocks shitbirds. Roll Eyes

..start using your brain scammy cunts.

I think the OP is asking for a classification of the coins into types by one of the experienced crypto investors. Let me take a stab at doing so.

1. Platform coins - Stratis, Lisk, Nxt/Ardor, Ethereum, Omni. These allow implementation of smart contracts

2. Social Networks -AMP, Steem

3. Privacy coins - Monero, Zcash, Zencash, Zclassic, Verge, DigitalNote, Aeon, Spectrecoin, DeepOnion

4. Exchanges - Counterparty, Blocknet, Bitbay, Waves, Bitshares

5. Currencies - LiteCoin, Dash, Feathercoin, Dogecoin

6. Content/Media Distribution - Shift, LBRY, Decent

7. High Flyers - these are low priced coins based on market cap which are deeply speculative such as 1337, LiteDoge. Linda, Netko, Acoin, Sumokoin, Pascal Lite

Nice list there!!

Let me make an addition:

8. Shit coins - ****,****,**** (I'll let you guys figure out your own)

That's a pretty good classification of the different types of coins. It's also worth mentioning tokens which are similar to coins but run one of the blockchains and is aimed at providing smart contract based apps.

That is a good list! What about the payment-processing type coins, though - XRP, Stellar Lumens etc? Would these merit their own category?
Also vapourware/scam coins probably should have a category... plenty of these about!

Theres less than 20 real coins, the rest are clones. The best place to check for a big list of coins that have market caps, would be www.coinmarketcap.com. They keep an updated list of popular coins, some new, some old. It is a very resourceful data sheet, but operates on a 24hr period. If you want up to date coverage, their may be rss feeds available for crypto exchanges.
Your question was a bit on the broad side, but overall, this should cover your spread.

I think it is unfair to say there are only 20 coins and that the rest are clones, yes there are going to be similitudes between projects but that does not mean they are the same, just because monero and dash have privacy as their goals that does not mean they are the same project.

There are a lot of alternative coins right close to 1000 if not more, used for different purposes. There are even ICOs launching each and every day. Alternative coins world is getting bigger and better each and everyday, surely you are aware of what I am saying

There are many coins exist but I always prefer Bitcoin,Ethereum,Waves,Litecoin,Bytecoin,Dash and Monero etc.You can check this site www.coinmarketcap.com there are huge coin market cap.You can choose any currency from this site.

There are equally more coins which are not even listed anywhere and there are some coins which are dead. After when ETH and Waves started allowing people to make their own tokens. There are literally thousands of coins now.

If you are talking about cryptocurrency here are some. Aside from bitcoin here are some of the alternatives:

1. Litecoin- transactions confirmations are processed here more quickly than bitcoin.
2. Peercoin- is said to be using less energy and being environmental.
3. Primecoin- miners uses computers to find Cunningham chains that are sequences of prime numbers.
4. Namecoin- it was created to explore the record-keeping side of the cryptocurrency technology
5. Ripple- the difference between bitcoin and ripple is that there is no mining of Ripples.

There are so many kind of coins. Refer here https://coinmarketcap.com/all/views/all/ . Currently we have 1013 coins so far. And many coins would be added in the next years or months. Once they open an Ico then that would be the time where they will open their coins in the market.

What do you mean? other than bitcoin? We do have a lot of alt coins in the market and you are the only one to choose what you think will bring profit to you. But as given in the market only few of them are real ones that are being used by many people who are into crypto currencies, other than that they are just used for trading.

coinmarketcap.com is the right place if we want to search all list of cryptocurrencies. we can get completed data from each of the coins. if you want to paste the data in your site, then you need to copy the source then paste in your site so you don't have to visit coinmarketcap. but i think you need to asked their permission to do this.
