thanks. how close were the genesis blocks mined by date? or am I not even close. (im just working off memory here and don't have the time to look it up)

That is a good question. From what I was able to find, it looks like Namecoin was released in April of 2011 and a host of others came a couple months later. I haven't found an exact date yet though.

i found it Litecoin was Oct 2011

He obviously didn't read the article, @jcornel! (unless you edited after his question?)
