All you have to do is apply and azure will add a coin. I could literally build a coin today and add it. How some coins are pimping this as a partnership is beyond me. This is like me applying for a mastercard and saying mastercard is partnering with me--when in reality all I needed was a decent credit score and a pulse. All you need for azure intergration is a coin and to jump through a few hoops. Anyone who is impressed by this either doesn't understand the process or is easily impressed.

Here's FluffyPony describing the process on reddit:

None of the above.

We contacted them, they told us what we needed to do. It basically consisted of signing a Contributor License Agreement, submitting a PR to the Azure templates Github repo, and sending them a write-up. Took us like 3 or 4 hours:)

All the altcoins saying that Microsoft is "partnering" with them are being disingenuous - you are a partner inasmuch as you have a BizSpark account and signed a CLA.

The upshot of this, however, is that developers that are already using Azure can build applications on top of the Monero blockchain, and are able to spin nodes up quickly and easily."

Yes, but Azure is only adding the coins that were build from scratch.
Not the clones.

Moreover, some of the coins on Azure, such as Radium, are actually pretty good.

I would like to announce a new tentative partnership between Capital One and AmericanPegasus.  You read that right, Capital One has now extended official capital towards my investments and projects.  I know you are all as excited as I am, and I look forward to my marketcap soaring. 
 
What's in your cold wallet?

 :D

It is definitely over-hyped.

But..... since it is simple to do and at the very least lends some good exposure to any coin/project, seems like a win-win for any developer with 3 hours to spare. Hell, Cointelegraph made it front page news for the first couple of Azure selections rounds.  :D

a list
Does anyone have a list of the Azure 'added' coins?

If you wait a month, it will be ALL of them.  ;)

Bobsurplus is happy with this news.  :D

Azure is adding clones.

Isn't Expanse just an Ethereum Clone?
And isn't Lisk just a Crypti clone?

Lol

No shit

They are adding lots of shitcoins lol.
They don't even no cryptos

Fortunately I came not subject)
Very valuable information as the forks can operate with this expression: "We are the Azure"
All this is speculation on little understanding people.
And most interestingly, it works.

Touché

Is there an Azurecoin yet?

I guess, there will be one in a couple of weeks.  ;D

They don't care of that
sometime i think Microsoft is trading these coins before adding to azure

Yeah, that makes sense. I figured it was something like that when I saw Azure adding coin after coin after coin. The number of Azure alts just grew too quickly for it to be anything other than "apply, fill out the forms correctly, and you're in."

MS should add as many coins as possible. That would really mix things up for everybody  :o

coins are good, the more the better. Competition makes things advance, and the best remain.

And taht are indeed good and bullish news for ANYcoin 8)

Has hit any exchanges meanwhiles? On trade, any where? Where to buy in, much?

I couldn't agree more. And the announcement thing is often exaggerated. I also can imagine the following scenario:

1) Revive a dead / shit coin
2) Spread the news about 'Partnership with Microsoft'
3) Pump hard
4) Profit

Why Microsoft Wants 'Every Blockchain' on its Azure Platform (http://www.coindesk.com/microsoft-blockchain-azure-marley-gray/)

I heard They added fucking arch guys fucking archcoin, enough said.

ROFL no. Read the OP.

TLDR: "All the altcoins saying that Microsoft is partnering with them are being disingenuous". Most likely scams in some form. Stay away. Take special note of the coins that post in this forum hyping Azure and using a self-moderating thread so they can't be called out for their bullshit.

"apply, fill out the forms correctly, and you're in."

Not really,
Expanse is an Ethereum fork
Lisk is a Crypti fork

I support both coins though..

That's right.

MS wants to become something like a coin store/catalog.

The more coins they accept, the more PR of Azure platform they get.

maybe some people like that scheme because they can get an advantage with buy that coin in low price then when get pumped thay can get some profit ,

well in the end if this is the case i think is a good news for us, i mean for the alt coin world, this could explain why they are adding every altcoin on azure without distinction ;)


exactly this, but let's see how they compete...you know... is microsoft... :P

I think, if the coin added by azure, the coin is partnering with MS.
nice info

Might need another thread. But anyway........  https://forum.nem.io/t/status-on-the-azure-project/2017

Bang-on. What better $ign that cryptocurrency is becoming main$treamed?  :P

They have many years building large datacenters in all world, Now they have to focus on almost all areas of opportunity to provide services like its competitors, Peoples will have to closely monitor it if  really have benefits for the end user to use the services like to cloud services or IOT, I rather think they want to use as a bridge between the end user and large corporations that have engaged the  Azure services, I heard that more than 1 B of peoples use the services of Microsoft in all the world. But who knows this will give much to talk about everything for example with copyright, Mix open source code with copyright code   can bring some problems in the future.........

i think that this is the key for the bitcoin success, you know how things are working in this world "sadly", "if something is good for you is good for me..." let's wish them good luck with his project, this will be good for all of us ;)

in this time all people focus at bitcoin halving no people interesting with shitcoin will be add to Azure or not :P

The use of the words 'clone' and 'shitcoin' is overused and improper.

All automobiles contain 4 wheels, a body, and a combustion engine, but we don't call Chevrolet a Ford clone. Every cryptocurrency is a copy of Satoshi's bitcoin with varying degrees of innovation added, all just different brands of the same underlying protocol.

The real value of these coins will be determined by network effect, not bells and whistles. The amount of ignorance and jealousy in this forum is disgraceful. We're supposed to be supporting each other, not degrading the work of others. :-\

Azure is so 3 months ago . . .
