I'd like to create a list of truly decentralized currencies for myself and for any one who'd be interested in.

My criteria are:
- open source code
- no ICO
- no premine
- not a token
- decentralized development structure
- no "owner" or individual/group/company holding the majority of the stock
- traded at least on one true DEX (with some volume there)

Please mention a currency that in your opinion fits into the above criteria.
The criteria can be discussed here, so your opinion is welcome.

I myself did my homework so I have a list of the currencies that may fit into this criteria but I'd like the list to be created from scratch by the forum members.

Since you are the one that want to create a decentralized platform list, I don't see any reason why you will begin to ask us to tell you name of coins we think it's decentralized, how will you know when a coin is fully decentralized when you haven't studied it's code on github to see how it was developed, you can only create a list of truly decentralized blockchain only if you can be able to read the github code of all the blockchain project we have in existence.
The above criteria let us reduce the full 4K-5K list of existent coins into a very short one. At the moment I'm working on 180 coins  that can possibly enter into this elite group of fair coins to invest into.
And I suspect that among all that 180 coins I'll find no more than 20 that are within the above criteria.
To make analysis of the code of 20 coins is not that big deal, I guess.
But let me please understand better your idea, what would you exactly look for into the coins code?
I thought that the only coin that meets your requirement is the only dogecoin. Most of the other coins are having pre mine. We are talking about a coin that included in top 100 CMC.
No premine, Decentralized, not a token and build on its own blockchain, and it doesn't even have an owner.
Please keep in mind that I'm not speaking about top 100 coins only here.
In fact Dogecoin was in my list. I'll put it here.

(bitcoin is obvious so i won't mention it!) you forgot about litecoin if you are only talking about the top 100 big market cap coins. it had no premine and it is a stand alone blockchain with no ICO or any centralization.

i am very interested in seeing OP's list though. please make sure to share it with us.
From here LTC seem to have a semi-centralized organization structure : https://coinpaprika.com/coin/ltc-litecoin/
