Any other projects and their funding you know about? Please post them.

Please note: Funding is not everything in an altcoin. The teams behind them matter much more, so it would be wise to visit their website and find out who they are. It is also advisable to check their output via their source code repository. Ratings for each can be checked here https://www.coingecko.com/en

Nxt is the linux of crypto: http://bitcoinprbuzz.com/bitcoin-altern ... tennessee/

[box0214]

i compiled a similar list.

i find it extremely odd that the lowest funded crypto has the most robust system in features.

so its safe to say no matter how much money u raised, it doesnt mean a successful project. but it is still too early to say of course.

[HCLivess]

only ETH is appealing out of the list, however expect funding to run dry before major adoption of any of this.

[vanilladev]

I invested 200K USD into Vanilla development. It is still cash positive with no sign of running dry and has a decentralised (incentive) system in place to keep development moving if cash were to (for some odd reason) dry up allowing for indefinite development and it isn't even on this list.

Code progress speaks mountains and funding means very little when it comes to success. Skype, KaZaA, Gnutella, eDonkey2K and BitTorrent were all built with Zero $$$ behind closed doors using only raw programming skills from only a few engineers.
