we need something like the mining section of bitcoin has

Child Boards: Mining support, Pools, Mining software (miners), Hardware, Mining speculation

---

for now there is only Pools board.


simply put , mining altcoins consist of all those different types of topics, having them all under a single board is a nightmare , tons of duplicate topics, nearly impossible to search for certain topics, many good topics go unnoticed.

on bitcoin mining boards, i seldom visit the "pools" or "software" boards, i usually go to mining support to either post a problem i have or try to help those having a problem related to mining bitcoin, and everything is well organized, a few members of us there work together to solve almost every problem posted on bitcoin mining support board.

while those alt miners usually don't get answers and some end up posting on bitcoin mining support instead, sometimes we catch them there and give them answers, but if the topic is moved before any of us do, it will get lost on that mega alt mining board and many issues will remain unsolved.


can we please at least have another child board under name "alts mining support" where we tackle alt mining related issues only.

Thanks.

Unless a subset of possible board topics is dominating the front page (+50% of topics on the front page belong to said subset), it's highly unlikely that it'll have a sub-section created for it. Not much point in creating a board that will be dead on arrival.

makes sense, but this pretty much how the Altcoin mining section looks atm, it's a mixture of mining software / hardware and  support ,each could very likely make  +50% at any given time ( rotating )

Bitcoin mining has 5 child boards and all of them are pretty alive, the logic states the alt mining should have the same number of child boards at worst case scenario.

I don't think drawing parallels between the Bitcoin section would convince theymos - in the end, he's the one who decides whether a board gets created. If, on a consistent basis, there's a subset of topics dominating the board, you're free to PM theymos with the proof and maybe he'll create a new board.
