Title: Is any person or group archiving crypto history? Post by: gentlemand on August 30, 2018, 03:57:24 PM In addition to dead coins and previous clients themselves, there's such a wealth of important and long gone stuff as well as hair raising shite such as those Bitconnect music vids, I was wondering if there was a concerted effort to preserve all this genius and shamelessness for future posterity/comedy.
I know a lot of it is scattered out there at present, but a lot of it can disappear. Considering how closely studied the early days of crypto are likely to be I would've thought it would be worth attempting to create an archive of some sort. Is there a person or group who is squirreling stuff like this away? Title: Re: Is any person or group archiving crypto history?

The trend however will be to keep the newest and latest and nothing unusual may make it Title: Re: Is any person or group archiving crypto history?

Here is the archive of bitcointalk for example: https://web.archive.org/web/*/https://bitcointalk.org (https://web.archive.org/web/*/https://bitcointalk.org)

None that I know of... I know a lot of it is scattered out there at present, but a lot of it can disappear. Unfortunately, archived or not most will be forgotten, BFL, Bitcoinica, HF, even Gox will share the faith Considering how closely studied the early days of crypto are likely to be I would've thought it would be worth attempting to create an archive of some sort. Probably the best way would be to archive the entire scam accusation and service discussion sections, with the videos and images, not simple text. But there is too little reward involving a LOT of work. It might gain some traction if proposed in a place where it might get more decent exposure from older members as BD is not the section for this. |
