You forgot to add titcoin 

I voted for LoveCoin because any publicity
is good publicity.

And Cupid is stupid.

FlappyCoin takes the lead!

Dogecoin

Yeah, I never liked this name either.

More often than not it seems people choose to put bad names on their coins. I wonder if it's just the past success of Dogecoin that makes people think that they can just slap a stupid name on their coin and it's going to be alright.

In between "Malecoin" and "Mandarincoin". 

you have to admit litecoin kind of sounds like "Somy" or "Low fat milk."

essentially its saying "Bitcoin lite"

not sure if that's rock solid marketing there ?

its grown on me but.

On request, added Dogecoin, Kittahcoin and MammothCoin.

Which coin wins the worst coin name award?

Duckduckcoin sucks. Duck coin is better.

truckcoin?

Flappy by a huge margin. Out of all those dumb names I can't believe that everyone thinks that Flappy is the worst.

I voted for it too

Franko.

So dumb that it was once worth more than $50,000,000 on name recognition alone without any code changes.

Dogecoin

1315 “created”, where I could find a logo and an algo - very relaxed criteria, more of a celebration than an analysis. The data is published as Linked Open Data and is downloadable in a variety of formats, from n3 triples to csv.

I've concentrated on facts rather than value judgements, can't make reliable value judgements without a basis of fact, or at least something that behaves like a fact when you lean on it.

I made an effort to record the obvious emergent features: distribution scheme (ipo, pow, poc) versus the protection scheme (pos, pow, pob) and then the variants of PoW scheme - combos such as nist5, qubit, x11, single hash functions, e.g. fugue, groestl, etc.

But it all grinds to a halt when it hits PoS schemes - apparently there aren't any readily-identifiable individual approaches or categories to be articulated. This is likely due to the fact that the only representation is the implementation --- and there lies epistemological trouble.

All that can reliably be said is: "claims to use a PoS scheme". It's not trivial to determine if the code actually functions as such and assessing whether it performs better or worse than an alternative implementation is a formidable technical challenge.

By contrast, consider the labels springing up to describe the various difficulty re-targeting algorithms: KGW, DGWv2, DigiShield.

PoW has labels, difficulty retargeting has labels, there are labels to apply to coin generation approaches, e.g. “an inflationary version”.

I'm now keenly interested in discovering why PoS schemes are apparently so intractable to classification.

DuckDuckCoin... Is the winner. Definately.

Actually with flappycoin i could live...

or maybe not...

dogecoin is missing in the list

DuckDuckCoin it is :b

Where the hell is MammothCoin on that list.

That coin takes the lead by far for having the stupidest name ever.
