I tend to sticky threads such as these when people need to know about a mandatory update by a certain time. It will be unstickied after block 28476. By the way, what block is FRC on now?

*finds this amusing*

Anyway, use escrow peoples.

stickying temporarily so that need to see the update can more readily.

Its killing me, there are 30 new coins per day, and all of them have equal rights to post, as we take a neutral stance on the coins themselves. And then people complain that they need to be moderated, but if I moderate the coins they they support, then I get yelled at (plus I don't have the right to moderate the majority of them) and it just continues.

Right now I'm just hoping that they will become less profitable soon, so the crowd will die down a little, but in case that doesn't happen, we are working on ideas on how to manage.

He didn't say he had attended an Ivy League college, he said Ivory League. It's one of the most prestigious school in Africa. They train the best of the best poachers.  


Just kidding gweedo, but I did manage to amuse myself.

Although it never took off, I sort of liked the Solidcoin (1st version) pre mine method. There was a pre mine to test the chain and what not, but the coins were given as bounties for the first people to set up pools, services, etc. Of course looking back the system as a whole didn't work for various reasons, but I don't think that the SC premine method was a bad idea. Or at least if a pre mine is necessary, it wasn't a bad way to go.

I can't tell if this is a joke or not in all seriousness.

When you say that your team has worked on marketing campaigns for Chevrolet ,Cadillac , Hollister Clothing brands , Captain Morgan rum company , and Vibram five fingers shoes, you mean some of the people you have on your team has worked with professional advertising companies that have done marketing or commercials or whatever for those companies?

I really don't know enough about your business to make an informed decision, but from your post, I'm incredibly skeptical as to the legitimacy of your organization. Are you just the spokesperson for the team, or are you a member yourself? And by claiming to have worked with real companies, I'm assuming you are trying to imply that you are a professional group, which I would not assume from your post. Spelling errors, typos, etc don't happen with business proposals in the real world.

Also, I'm not sure that writing "We have placed New crypto-currencies on reputable exchanges such as BTC-e " is really a good thing to be saying. A lot of people are very upset with BTC-E for being involved in what people think could be shady business involving bribes by alt coin devs to list their currency. Whether it is true or not I can't speak to, but advertising companies normally look into these sorts of things before making claims that could be damaging to their reputation.

To be fair, I'm not making any allegations, just want to give you a chance to answer what I'm sure a lot of other people are wondering, before you lose the chance to answer questions that are written without scam accusations and five hundred exclamation points and question marks.

Uhmm... shouldn't you at least add some details as to how someone scammed you before they are added to the list? You should also probably let people know they are being accused before adding them.

Just saying the current system looks pretty shady, and could be abused by anyone who is upset with someone else.

re reading the OP, I see two distinct sections. The people should vote which coins are legitimate, which is almost a good idea, but there is a ton of abuse there. If a new fantastic coin wanted to come in, something completely different and actually deserved a shot, people could see it as a threat, and vote no out of own self interest, and then it would be inhibited.

I do like the prefix idea, but that is really up for users to establish themselves, just getting into the habit of it. I could create a sticky to raise awareness and try and get people into the habit, to see if that would catch on, doesn't sound like it could do any harm really.

There are to be no sub-subforums within the alt currency subforum, but maybe the tags will help cut down on the clutter that readers have to sift through. Really the only way I see things being fully resolved, is if the new coins take a break from being made every 10 minutes. But that wont happen until its no longer profitable to do so, so either everyone has to be on board with letting the coins that aren't worth while die, or just roll with the blows.

Its 100% not going to happen, sorry guys, it wasn't my decision, but I still don't personally support child boards for each coin even if it was mine to make. There would be 50 new sections that would need to go up daily, and then when an alt coin dies, it would need to be removed, etc etc.

This is the Bitcoin forum with an Altcoin subsection. Its not really designed, or meant to be the official place to be for alt coins. That would be the individual coin's forums.

Well, I've responded to three separate threads asking for Subforums today alone. The answer is no, if you would like to know why, please refer to one of the other 30 threads, heres a link to one of them. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=199691.0

So you mean, allowing no one to post in the alt currencies section besides the official coin release which redirects them to the coin specific forum? That is and idea, not many would like it I don't think, but it definitely is an idea, if not a last resort type.


Who decides what the recognized alts are? And what is the definition of a recognized alt?

You are talking about removing a right from all of the JR Members, solely for an Alt Coin issue.

I asked about adding child boards a while ago, the answer was no. The reasoning being, this is a Bitcoin forum. The fact that altcoins are even allowed to post here is a formality really. The forums don't want to get too involved in alt coins, besides moving alt currency chatter that would be spam to its own section.


The problem right now lies with all of the new currencies "spamming" the board. A lot of people find them offensive or a scam, but the problem is, there is no definition of what is a "scam" coin, so the moderation staff (myself included) can do very little about all of the new coins.

And, not to mention, the forum staff doesn't hunt scammers. Its up for the users to find scammers, and then provide the case in the Scam Accusation section of the Trading board.

If anyone can think of a solution, I'm sure everyone would be glad to hear.

I'm just glad that there is actually some innovation coming out of this. I can't say I have a grudge against any coin in particular really, but I definitely do appreciate when they aren't just a 100% copy of an existing coin renamed and marketed to people who didn't get in early enough.

Also +1 for the method at which you are releasing. Going public weeks or months before the release of a client so not a small group of people getting in early. Not to mention that people can find flaws that can be fixed before it is released.

Moving this to the scam accusation section. It is alt currency related, so very honest mistake, but I think it will do best there.

Sperm banks go through a lot of medical testing and protective measures to make sure that you aren't donating any dangerous traits or STDs in your semen. I'd guess thats the reason it isn't widely done.

There was a bounty offered for people to start threads about Mincoin here on the Alt Currency Section, hence the Jr.Members posting about it. I tried to talk with them about it, asking that they at least require that the threads have some useful content, rather than just spam.

I received a pm from the owner of WSO LTC asking me to post this message for them, as they are still a new member,

I would like to remind everyone that if a scam accusation is to be made, please make it in the Trade Discussion Scam Accusation section, scamming is not a ban able offense, but if anyone wishes to compile evidence and try and have a scammer tag applied, it is best done here. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=83.0
