In April 2011, Namecoin, the first altcoin, was created to establish a decentralized DNS to make Internet censorship more difficult. In October 2011, litecoin was released and became the first successful cryptocurrency to use scrypt as a hash function instead of SHA-256. This gives the community the ability to mine litecoins without purchasing certain hardware such as ASIC machines that are typically used to mine

The value of Namecoin for today is $1.79354520. It has a current circulating supply of 14.7 Million coins and a total volume exchanged of $90,400.7
But in 2013 the price is reaching it all time high $10.1 / namecoin
