Title: Rate of new alt coins slowing down
Post by: scumbag on May 16, 2015, 07:20:23 AM
It seems like there are fewer and fewer alt coins coming out these days. Is the rate slowing down, or is it just me?

Probably because there's no new wave of would be bagholders coming in... So what's the point?

Fewer, yes. The huge slowdown from the 2014 peak remains and hasn't really recovered.

There's a chart on Minki's landing page: https://minkiz.co (reproduced below for convenience):

I've fallen behind a bit on the updates because I've been focused on generating documentation and examples for DOACC. I'll be updating the chart shortly (in the midst of reconciliation, atm) with the 90-odd coins launched since mid-Apr.

The market participants are maturing and clones of clones are not reaping the rewards of the past. We're reaching the point of diminishing returns for cut and paste entries.

I think 2015 and beyond will bring much more innovation/invention into the space, as the assembly line coin mill of old gradually fades.

I'm so glad for this !  Maybe people finally realize we don't need tons of this crap.  

All we need is one coin which brings together what made btc famous to begin with, and in a better way!
