Alibaba Coin is a digital currency that plans to implement blockchain-based facial recognition technology that will allow users to make transactions by showing their faces to a merchant's camera. Alibaba Coin was created by a company in Dubai, and has no relation to the Chinese online retail giant.

BlackCoin is a Proof-of-Stake (PoS) cryptocurrency created in 2014. Users are rewarded for staking their coins to secure the network. BlackCoin's staking rewards vary between 1% to 8% per year.

BurstCoin is a cryptocurrency with a Proof-of-Capacity (PoC) consensus algorithm. Unlike most other cryptocurrencies, Burst's architecture uses a Tangle (similar to IOTA) instead of relying on a blockchain. It also utilizes ring signatures and other features, in what is called the Dymaxion. The Dymaxion implements layers of tangle-based lightning networks on top of the Burst blockchain. Each of these payment channels is opened in the form of a standalone colored tangle. Burst is also developing atomic cross-chain transactions (ACCT), that will allow for full decentralized trading between two cryptocurrencies.
