Hi all!

How can I get list of all bitcoin-based cryptocurrencies such as Dash, Dogecoin, Litecoin, what else ?

Hmm. I'm also trying to figure out what exactly you mean by "Bitcoin-Based", you mean every coin that is forked/cloned from BTC' codebase, or simply using the same SHA-256 algorithm?

For algorithms, you could use https://cryptorival.com

In the past there was a site called; https://mapofcoins.com/bitcoin/ which showed which coins were a fork/based on bitcoin, but it seems to be dead now. Maybe there are some archived versions somewhere?

As of May 2016 they are tracking a total of 710 cryptocurrencies. Of those, 667 are based on Bitcoin's code, which is 94%!

Ofcourse, this was over 2 years ago, so things are probably very different now.
