Definition of dead should be "can't connect to a node" not based on market cap. For example, BlakeBitcoin is alive as far as I can tell, bc merge mined with Blakecoin. You can totally fire up a client and transact in BBTC. Now it may not be worth much or have liquidity on an exchange, but that is not "dead" just "cheap".

Why would we ever want a blacklist when a whitelist is so much saner? The ether is littered with the walking corpses of coins intended only to deceive&#x2F;P&amp;D.<p>Relatively short list of &quot;verified&quot; (by a &quot;team of analysts&quot;) crypto assets [1] (YMMV).<p>[1] <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;cryptonaire.com&#x2F;crypto-assets&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;cryptonaire.com&#x2F;crypto-assets&#x2F;</a>

I wish the table included a “cause of death” explaining how these cryptocurrencies failed.

The dates mentioned are all from 2014. Has this been updated in recent years?

I rather prefer a list of ICOs with a high potential and long-term perspective.<p>That many ICOs are Ponzi or close to scam is nothing new.Such a list feels more like a personal justification for &#x27;I don&#x27;t need to invest, I won&#x27;t miss anything and BTC and ETH were the last success stories in crypto&#x27;.

Including why it went kaput in the summary could be an useful information.

“Add data” ... “Add data”, all rather lame.<p>Minkiz has the data ... <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;minkiz.co&#x2F;coin&#x2F;name&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;minkiz.co&#x2F;coin&#x2F;name&#x2F;</a> (basically just a rendering of the metadata in DOACC (<a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;DOACC&#x2F;individuals" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;DOACC&#x2F;individuals</a>).<p>Admittedly I stopped recording in March last year but nevertheless.

Need a list of all cryptocurrency transaction providers indicating which have been hacked and how much stolen

I wonder where on the Hype Cycle[1] cryptocurrencies (and blockchain technology in general) currently are.<p>[1] <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;Hype_cycle" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;Hype_cycle</a>

Was this list automatically generated in some way? I&#x27;m trying to prune a large list of inactive coins right now, and manually checking their activity has been tedious.

How about including the peak market cap and the ability to sort by it? Post-mortem for the biggest flops would be very interesting.

It&#x27;s a shame you can&#x27;t sort this by date of death, or at least date of creation.

The best thing in that list is the &quot;market caps&quot;
