BeginnerCoin [BGNR] Free, Open-Source, Beginner-Friendly Cryptocurrency
BeginnerCoin is a free, open-source project designed to help lower the barrier to entry to cryptocurrency technology for the general public.

We wish to provide a stepping stone to attract new users and developers to realize and harness the great potential represented by Bitcoin, cryptocurrencies and blockchain technology.
Our goal is give anyone with even modest computing ability the opportunity to try, experiment and play with
cryptocurrencies without any risk of loss. We aim to give newcomers the confidence to use cryptocurrency software in their day-to-day lives and to conduct business. We are here to facilitate transactions to give all newcomers a true, hands-on experience in a risk-free environment.
We hope to open the eyes and minds of the general public to the incredible world of Bitcoin and cryptocurrency at no cost or risk... and to incentivize their involvement to join us in the cryptocurrency ecosystem.

COSMOS [COS] internet of blockchains
Cosmos is a project with an ambitious mission: To create a network of distributed ledgers that will solve long-standing problems in the cryptocurrency and blockchain communities.
Architecture
The Cosmos network consists of many independent, parallel blockchains, called zones, each powered by classical Byzantine fault-tolerant (BFT) consensus protocols like Tendermint (already used by platforms like ErisDB). Some zones act as hubs with respect to other zones, allowing many zones to interoperate through a shared hub. The architecture is a more general application of the Bitcoin sidechains concept, using classic BFT and Proof-of-Stake algorithms, instead of Proof-of-Work (see our whitepaper for more details).
Cosmos Hub
The first blockchain in the Cosmos network is the Cosmos hub. The Cosmos hub connects to zones via the novel IBC (inter-blockchain communication) protocol and keeps a record of the total number of tokens in each zone. Because all inter-zone token transfers go through the Cosmos hub, you can transfer tokens from one zone to another, quickly and securely, without the need for a liquid exchange or a trusted third party between zones.
The Cosmos hub can connect to many different kinds of zones, as long as each zone speaks IBC. As a result, Cosmos can support a variety of currencies and scripting languages like those found in Bitcoin, Ethereum, ZeroCash, CryptoNote, and more.

It is estimated there will be over BTC2000 ($1,200,000) at the exchanges when the season ends from coin sales to players on January 7, which will be the proceeds from sales that will be used to create a market at the set prices.

Omicron - Dividend-Issuing Cryptocurrency - IAO has started
Omicron (OMC) is a digital blockchain-based asset that accrues interest through two mechanisms: minting and BTC dividends. It is the first step towards having an unbanked investment world where an independent digital currency asset yields returns in an alternate medium of exchange. OMC plans to be a major inflation and investment vehicle for the cryptocurrency community as well as various brick-and-mortar entities.
Specificatins:
Omicron will be a blockchain based asset, and a clone of Bitcoin. Minting through the wallet will yield 5%/annum, compounding on a daily basis. The clients that will be released on Sept 17 will have a fresh overhaul to the interface, and there will be future modifications to add simplicity to OMC-BTC address linkage and addtional add-ons. Fullstack developers will be paid and employed to implement said features. The main focus of Omicron is to provide a suitable and superior investment vehicle than dividend-issuing companies. With this in mind, there will be no brand new technical developments made for OMC. Modifications will be ported from other cryptocurrency clients to keep OMC top of the line.

SaveTheOcean [STO] PoW/PoS | Free Distribution
Bounties | RoadMap
If we would like to answer this question with one sentence it would be this: Raise awareness of Ocean degredation.
Here are few facts why our oceans and oceanic ecosystems are in danger
- The oceans are overfished. 90% of the ocean's big fish are gone because of overfishing, and the remaining 10% could be gone in as little as forty years.
- Illegal fishing and destructive fishing practices, like bottom trawling
- The world's seafood consumption rate has been growing twice as fast as the population
- There are tons and tons of plastic in the ocean. It breaks down into smaller pieces, but never goes away.
- It's estimated that 60-80% of all marine debris is plastic.
- 64% of the ocean lies beyond the jurisdiction of any nation, and there are no fully protected reserves in these waters
What are our goals?
Our main goal is to get "Crypto-Lands" people attention over the danger which surrounds us and our environment.
Many hundreds and thousand people are involved in Alternate Cryptocurrencies nowadays. By creating a strong based movement and organization hopefully we can incite at least a few users to pay a little more attention on how we are living and how we are going to leave our planet for our successors.

So no hard sell here, I am just passing on the opportunity should you care!
I will make a list, hopefully very shortly, and that is that. There is no need to make a fussy thread, because the coin is out of my hands into yours and others.

Zion - Project Zion - CryptoNote-Based Tor Network Currency
Zion is a cryptocurrency based on the Monero platform, which was forked from cryptonote a secure, private, untraceable cryptocurrency, which will be the primary sole used on the upcoming Tor marketplace codename Zion Marketplace, which is currently being purpose build, developed and vigorously security audited.
Throughout the project i will refer to Zion the currency as Zion, and Zion the marketplace as Zion Marketplace. For those wondering, this project was renamed from MoneroClassic to Zion after a number members from the Monero community showed distress, and after careful consideration I've decided to steer away from using Monero in the project name, but give full credit for the codebase. I have great respect for Monero and its developers.
Specifications:
- PoW algorithm: CryptoNight
- Block reward: Smoothly varying
- Block time: 240 seconds
- Difficulty: Retargets at every block

ZONECOIN [ZNE] NO-PREMINE. NO-ICO. A coin with a mission!
Zonecoin was built on the basis of facilitating trade between 2 parties whilst at the same time reducing the amount of time it takes for a transaction to complete. This is coin is geared to retailers and sellers who require this.
Whilst we want retailers to adopt this new coin many retailers we have spoken with over the past year have spoken negatively about cryptocurrency as a whole and many agreed that either the system needs to be re-defined or overhauled as a result of the negative press Bitcoin has received.
Bitcoin was supposed to be most secure coin following our market research however press reports have not confirmed this.
So basically ZONECOIN is here to bridge the gap and bring more people into cryptocurrency as a whole making the crypto eco-system greater than it could be.
Specifications:
- Algorithm: SCRYPT PoW | PoS
- Total Coin Supply: 21,000,000
- Initial Block Reward: 50 ZNE
- Coinbase Maturity: 20 Blocks
- Transaction Confirmations: 6
- Last PoW Block: 100,000
- PoS Coin Age: 8 Hours to PoS
- PoS Interest: 10% (Per Year)
- Target Spacing: 64 Seconds
- Target Timespan: 1 Block

Wish you all profit trading!
This is great content. Maybe if you provided some instructions for mining the coins and included a logo for each coin you would get more votes?
Thanks! I will think about adding a coin logos in next issue. This reviews series will be in digest format and i cant add here full information about each coin because the post size will be a huge. You can easy find additional information about any coin by clicking a "Bitcointalk thread" link.
Ok, great. The problem with mining is that the information and software provided upfront are often incompatible with hardware, lack documentation suitable for newbies or have other issues.
These combined obstacles are a big reason why so many shy away from mining anything but the big coin names, so if someone came along and was blogging about how to set up mining for beginners it could be well recieved.
I would write about it myself, but I'm just not knowledgable enough / don't have the time to get into it at the moment.
Many people go away from mining when bitcoin price dropped last year. This was troublous times and many altcoins were abandoned by developers. Now the situation on the altcoins market is much better.
I should say that the best way to setup mining farms is to ask the coin developers in bitcointalk threads.
Thanks for posting this. The LBRY website and opportunity look really good. Steemians will really want to look at the LBRY website. Do you know how we can get invitations to LBRY? This is an excellent interesting post.
Thanks a lot! You can try this link https://lbry.io/get
