Bitcoin Forum

If user interest is shown, I can update this topic with more precise details and comparisons

What's the need for an update or further comparison, it's a well known fact, bitcointalk is the world's largest cryptocurrency forum and none other compares to it.

You can see clearly Bitcointalk forum total dominance of 94% for total number of users [/size]

Since PIE charts are the most common and one of the most intuitive charts to read, here are the distribution of bitcointalk ID's from 1 to 2'000'000 .

This just means that the forum has more users than the others, and is not necessarily a measurement of quality. Quantity is not quality my friend.

Where did you get those stats? I did not see stat source in OP.

<...> Added 'Users Online' <...>

I was also wondering:
- Where do ex-bitcointalk banned users go after ban? :) <...>

I was just focusing on the number of Bitcointalk “active” users, and you make it 611 (presumably K) profiles. That number alone is near the sum of all non-newbie profiles, and many of those are not active at all, nor have been for years. Since active is not a universal term (you could consider active in the last 3 months, six months, a year and so on), there should be a definition of what is being considered as “active”, making sure it is the same definition across all three compared platforms to make the comparison feasible.

Either they quit for good, or they resurrect on the third day and start from scratch, probably wasting their time as they may be caught for ban evasion.

Cool and all, but bots can manipulate all that data, just like some altcoins devs trading volume of their own coin in between wallets to make the transactions numbers look higher than it really is, or the transaction volume. Exchanges do this to, a lot, it is like the viewbotting of crypto.

pointless data, just like number of views on twitch or youtube, or retweets or likes on tweets etc. All pointless, but it is a monkey do monkey see life.

Nice stats, I was not expecting this forum is that more popular than the other forums, it is like this forum is the BTC and the other forum are altcoins due to it's very high dominant rate.

Interesting stats. Number of total users probably doesn't shows how big and active forum is. Bitcointalk have 94% dominace against 2 other compared forums, but as we know, Bitcointalk have insane number of Brand New users who haven't made even single post. In other forums number of such users isn't big probably. It would be interesting to see how these % would change after excluding Brand New users. Number of total post is most intereting and as we see, Bitcointalk don't have such huge dominance there. So, considering not big number of total users, we can say that other 2 forums are very active.

Thanks for feedback.
We have very detailed stats here in Bitcointalk forum,
and I would love to make more precise comparisons,
but I am not sure this kind of stats can be find on that alternative forums ...

Or maybe I just need to dig a bit deeper :)

I've never even heard of cryptocurrencytalk before.

On checking it it looks dead. The last thread on the first BTC page was last posted in on June 25th.

Bitco.in is more lively with a few refugees from here but still far too slow moving for my liking and it looks like it's attracting unmodded spam posts. Their wall observer is even more chartbuddy heavy than the darkest days of 2015 on here. From July 13th - 25th it's literally nothing but chartbuddy.

I assume bitcoin.com is filled with BCH sniping so have never bothered going there.

I really can’t be bothered with other Crypto Forums unless a pretty good reason crops up to ponder them over Bitcointalk. Even so, I’ve taken a quick glimpse at the list (so my first impressions may be wrong):

Bitalk.org                             -> Seems to be Russian only.
Bitcoin.com                          -> Not too active (not bad UI).
litecointalk.io                        -> Not really interested in a Litecoin specific forum + rather inactive.
cryptocurrencytalk.com         -> Rather innactive on substantial threads (I like the video section).
bitcoingarden.org/forum/      -> Very similar UI (SMF). Structure a bit weird, and 24K members only.
bitcoinforum.com                 -> Also very similar UI (SMF). Not very active, and just under 18K members only.
allcryptotalk.com                  -> Not many boards not activity.
cryptorum.com/forums/        -> Very weak in terms of boards and content.
talk.peercoin.net                  -> Specific to peercoin
mastersofcrypto.com/forum/ -> I like the guides .. but nothing else (+ barely any activity).

So, in summary, none of the above come even close to Bitcointalk neither in terms of content nor, very likely, prestige and history of its members.

it's a well known fact, bitcointalk is the world's largest cryptocurrency forum and none other compares to it.

Bitcoin forum created by Satoshi Nakamoto. Can you do something more spectacular? :)

Gold collapsing. Bitcoin UP. Replies:30,476

There is also Beermoneyforum

This is kind of where it all began...but I still think it's the bounties and everything else that keeps the traffic coming, not loyalty to Satoshi.

This is their overall stats:
And this the main topic:

One topic has half of all the posts of the entire forum. Also when you have a user posting nearly 10% of all the messages on the board, common....

I thought that the two sites mentioned in the OP rang a bell. I looked at them (briefly) when someone opened a thread on Beginners & Help suggesting some alternative crypto forums (which turned out as expected rather inferior in activity and content, although some sections seemed interesting like the video section in cryptocurrencytalk.com or the guides in mastersofcrypto.com).

So this is where cypherdoc ended up  ::)


There's another Russian Bitcoin forum, https://forum.bits.media/, and it's way more active.
