I've been looking into bitcoin for a while, and I want to expand my range of knowledge about cryptocurrency. Can you go through a list of some other kinds of cryptocurrency that aren't bitcoin?
Absolutely! Here is the list of some cryptocurrencies that aren't bitcoin.

1. Litecoin (LTC) - Litecoin is a bitcoin alternative that's gotten quite popular. Litecoin has a Bitcoin-compatible API and a quick-running blockchain. You can mine Litecoin using the Scrypt algorithm which is memory and compute-intensive. It also can't be mined by Bitcoin's API chips.
2. Ethereum (ETH) - Russian-founded Ethereum is an application platform that puts storage resources across the internet, and it's similar to peer-to-peer streaming services. The resources on Ethereum are paid by Ether, which is the cryptocurrency the platform is named after. Ethereum allows for contracts built into its software DNA, and the currency pays out when conditions are met. You can mine Ether with Ethereum's resources, and it is possible for the cryptocurrency to go through inflation.
3. Ripple (XRP) - The Ripple cryptocurrency is controlled by Ripple Labs Inc, which is connected to the banking industry. Ripple has been taken on by large banking companies such as Bank of America and UPS, and it's used in securing transactions internationally. Ripple comes with low transaction fees and a high speed.
4. Zcash (Zec) - Bitcoin transactions are on public record, but Zcash is a private currency. It has a "zero-knowledge" security implementation, which makes it a safe option. It also works with a blockchain mechanism that doesn't link old and current transactions. Zcash can be mined with a gaming GPU.
5. Dash (DASH) - The name dash comes from the words digital and cash, and it used to be called Xcoin and then Darkcoin. This litecoin works with almost instant transaction speeds, and its money transfers are private. Dash isn't actually governed by humans, and its contract is actually encoded into its program.
