Title: Altcurrency interest index Post by: Walter Rothbard on April 23, 2013, 09:00:54 PM I took a snapshot of threads on the first page of this subforum today and counted what currency was involved in each. For threads involving multiple currencies, I split proportionately. (i.e., a thread about an exchange between two currencies counted 0.5 for one currency and 0.5 for the other). Then I normalized to create an "interest index," giving a vague quantification to what currencies are currently taking up most of the discussion here:
FC: 36.73 LTC: 18.40 BQC: 14.81 FRC: 6.28 NVC: 5.38 TRC: 4.42 XRP: 2.69 forked bitcoin chain: 2.69 DVC: 2.69 StableCoin: 2.69 MC2: 2.69 BTE: 1.92 BTC: 0.90 Total threads considered: 38 I have no idea how you could use these numbers, but I thought they were interesting. :) (I'm also interested in why my sum came out to be 103 instead of 100....)

Title: Re: Altcurrency interest index Post by: jubalix on April 24, 2013, 07:24:04 AM No PPC??? Wow yeah very few people undestand PPC atm....to much effort....think of PPC being at where BTC was three years ago.... PPC uses a host of unique and novel features, that the proof of work models may have to emulate....makeing PPC the new BTC I would not be surprised to see PPC go to parity or above BTC. For one people haven't cottoned on that there are almost no coins being minted now if I am reading the graphs right Title: Re: Altcurrency interest index Post by: Walter Rothbard on April 24, 2013, 06:05:19 PM Interest index for 2013-04-24:

If I have a conversation about BQC with someone, it's 6x more important than BTC... but only half as important as an FC conversation! Title: Re: Altcurrency interest index Post by: master-P on April 25, 2013, 05:03:07 PM BTE looks dead already :)
Title: Re: Altcurrency interest index Post by: Walter Rothbard on April 25, 2013, 05:04:55 PM BTE looks dead already :) Heh! My prediction is that BTE will go through a short to mid term lag in interest, possible attack, crash, etc., but long term will ramp up to be something quite substantial. And my prediction is worth exactly what you paid for it. ;) Title: Re: Altcurrency interest index Post by: Walter Rothbard on April 25, 2013, 10:04:53 PM Interest index for 2013-04-25:

- have a column for each update - also a column with the averages - a nice graph with the average at the bottom Good idea btw, Cheers, Ch Title: Re: Altcurrency interest index Post by: Walter Rothbard on April 26, 2013, 01:27:18 AM Interest index for 2013-04-25: Threads considered: 113 I like pictures :) http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8259/8681246449_2dcd45e1f6.jpg (http://www.flickr.com/photos/95243420@N02/8681246449/) Sweet! Title: Re: Altcurrency interest index Post by: Walter Rothbard on April 26, 2013, 01:30:07 AM but I think we are forgetting the fact that there are millions of threads on this forum based on btc so btc really does have about 75%+ in "interest" Yes, BTC only makes it into this count when it shows up in this alternate cryptocurrency forum. And the counting is not (and cannot be) an exact science, I'm afraid. Btw, this last count included BTC0, which is my name for Bitcoin Testnet. Title: Re: Altcurrency interest index Post by: Red on April 27, 2013, 06:38:18 AM Thanks for adding [StableCoin] into your list even though it is a discussion topic and not an actual coin implementation. I'm thrilled to have so many new people to bounce ideas off of. Please send me more!
