ePawncoin (Homepage | Whitepaper)
ePawncoin will be sold to early investors using Proof-of-Burn but instead of sending the pawncoin to un-spendable wallet it will be sent directly to *Pawncoin team public address and we will list the pawncoin back on the exchange for X 2 of the current value and the Btc from the sell will be used to put up buy orders for ePawncoin.
Specifications:

Bitburst (Homepage)
We have developed a new wallet with a new Graphic User Interface. Original wallet-qt (Like Bitcoin-qt) works with an integrated daemon. Our wallet is completely new. The code was written completely from the start, and includes a new interface with many additional functions. The wallet is divided into two separate and distinct processes, one that includes the graphical interface and the other which includes the core of the wallet, the daemon. The daemon is identical to the original of bitcoin, synonymous with safety and stability.

Premine: 2,6%
Proof-of-Work: Scrypt
Total coins available: 15000
Block reward = 0.0035 BTB (fixed)

Linearcoin (Homepage)
Linearcoin is a new crypto-currency featuring a block reward that decreases in value in a linear fashion after each block. With block 0 starting at 50 Coins, the reward will gradually decrease linearly by 0.00005. The gradual reduction of reward will help mitigate inflation and Pump/Dump schemes. Panic and other chaos can be completely avoided as the coin never halves, the reward gradually gets smaller, and smaller. This will ensure a constant stream of hashing power to the network, as the incentive to mine will always be there. The block reward will keep decreasing until the reward hits 0, creating a total of 25,025,025 coins! With new blocks being generated every 5 minutes, you’ll have the opportunity to mine for ~9.5 years. This time will allow for steady growth of the coin and it’s acceptance or destruction by the community.
Specifications:
POW Algorithm: X11
Total Coins: 25,025,025 Coins
Block Time: 5 Minutes
