Title: [BOYCOTT] Boycott new altcoins, only 1 per week allowed

With the onslaught of dozens of altcoins released every day, existing coins are worth less and scams are more prevalent.
I don't think we need 10 new coins every day for every country, actor or meme. Most of these coins are often dead on arrival due to:
  • Incompetent devs
  • Absurdly high premines
  • Hundreds of billions of coins
  • Instant dumps
  • Direct copy of another coin
  • etc...
New coins are fine, especially if they serve a purpose, have fair launches and a community behind them.

We should setup a way to democratically vote for new coins that are allowed here every week. You need a certain level of activity to participate
and people who want to launch a new coin can convince the community of their plan and how they are going to make things work.
The goal here is to create good coins with a future, not copies that crash and burn within a month.

Thank you for reading this and I'm curious about what you guys think about this.

I liked new coins until every coin was worth peanuts. There's a limit to how many coins can be supported by the community.
This is just a suggestion though, if the majority is against it, so be it.

I agree, it's getting harder and harder for coins to survive now and people are becoming "aware".  Besides, I enjoy it :)

I would prefer a "trusted" body to evaluate altcoins and either "certify" or advise against coins.  Premines should incur a great deal of proof on the part of the dev that they'll be used appropriately, IPOs doubly so.
