Dying coins

[cryptohunter]

If the devs don't care anymore why should we? Any coin that the dev is still active but needs help would be cool to help out with. But when someone abandons their own project, its not worth saving

Can u check TIX out. That seems unable to sync up.

We all know there are a few coins that are dying out because the devs bailed out with the premine parachute. I was talking to a few guys and they suggested that devs of current coins like Franko, FST, DGC etc take over the dev of these coins and help get them actuall profitable again. What is your opinion?

Every coin dev I'm aware of is working 70-80 hour weeks already. No, we're not going to drop other projects to rescue your failed get rich quick scheme.

Any coin devs with spare time, I'd suggest working on core infrastructure upstream. bitcoinj, python-bitcoinlib (and python-altcoinlib), bitcoin-ruby and bitcoinjs would all love more attention. The Dogecoin developers are making plans to tackle https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/issues/3250 if anyone wants to help us.

So at the moment we have so many altcoins around and hard to know and much hard to decide what is going on in behind the scene is dev is able to deliver or not, i think let the die is better option there.

there are lots of coins that dies because they are mostly scam and does not really care about improving the use of cryptocurrency.
i hope that the real altcoins who focuses on making cryptocurrency better would prevail and make it onto top so that people could use it
and replace bitcoin from the things that bitcoin lacks

As the poll suggests let em all die.
They doesn't deserve our hashing power.
Those developers made a real amount of money from pumping and dumping those coins while burning other people's money.
Don't retrieve those dead coins.

Also, I think the only way to stop people jumping into these scams, at this point, is to make it clear there's no safety net. Fairly certain most of the people caught in failing coins were just hoping to be on the right side of a P&D.

I think all coins should die except those that provide innovating technologies such as Monero, NXT, Ethereum and Maidsafe. The rest are just copies from Bitcoin (my opinion of course)
