Luckycoin - random blocks
Novacoin - scrypt/pos hybrid
Cosmoscoin - novacoin/florin hybrid. Zero transaction fees.
PHS - novacoin/florin/luckycoin hybrid. With 50% POS per annum.
YAC - Scrypt-jane . modified scrypt algo


I don't see a lot of innovation in these:

Luckycoin - fancy block rewards
Novacoin - previous stuff hybrid
Cosmoscoin - previous stuff hybrid, small parameter change
PHS - previous stuff hybrid, small parameter change
YAC - This was a little more innovative because it was the first coin to experiment with high memory requirements. Still only parameter changes?

Flogging my own horse here.

Interesting but "NOT a fork of the BitCoin code" (seriously?). So it can not go on this list.

Also coins on the list must have been publicly launched. Code should be public so claims can be verified. Will add these additional requirements to the OP.

Ixcoin - IXC - thread
Small parameter changes.

Surprised this made the list for that.
Yeah, I was undecided... but IMHO it paved the way for what came later.

I2P support.

The I2P support started as a patch for bitcoin.

There was Beer which was the first attempt  to fix the value of a blockchain currency to a commodity.
Can't find anything on it. Wonder how that was supposed to work Smiley

Ixcoin isn't dead, I guess.
It's traded at Cryptsy and it's merge mined Smiley
Thanks. It's a zombie.  Cheesy

SC still processes transactions and is traded as well on mcxnow.
Another one.
