To avoid the necessity for sub forums on the alt currency board, it would make since to try and keep most topics about new currencies in each of their respective main threads, unless it is just something that really needs to be pointed out to the community.

Every time a new coin enters the world, there are a million different threads about a million random things for each one (see: Novacoin/Freicoin/etc). As a result, it clutters up the forum and makes others that aren't interested in the latest fad of the week cherry pick the tidbits of information that they are actually interested in (myself including).

I know there are other ALT currency users that feel the same way as me. I love ALT currencies and think there is a place for them in the world along side Bitcoin. However, getting behind and supporting every single alt currency that pops up every week is a bit much for me. We should be supporting the best of the best, for the better of the future of ALT currencies. Not just supporting obvious scam coins or lazy devs that never improve their coin, just because we can profit from mining them.

/soapbox ... my 2 bit cents ... etc.

EDIT: I'm not calling ripple a scam coin or anything, I kind of got sidetracked on another tangent in my post...

Counter proposition: How about sub forums for alt chains each?

Long overdue IMO.

[Bicknellski]

NO.

Well only for BBQcoin, because it is so fun, but not for all the scam coins like litecoin.

That would be awful. Twenty new alt coins come out every day, and then 20 more die. Keeping track would just be insanity, and there would be those butthurt when their subforum was then deleted on the grounds that the chain is dead, but they would argue that three people use the coin, so its not dead, etc etc.

I say we just put a [LTC], [NVC], [RUC], [EAR] and so on and so forth in threads that aren't just off topic so people can more easily find threads that are relevant to the coins they use.

I think that's what he meant. All new ones and general topics can stay in this main forum. NVC doesn't need one, neither does RUC, or EAR. I think LTC, PPS, and TRC would be more appropriate.

You started a Ripple thread to complain about how many Ripple threads there are ... irony!

While there are a large number of new currencies popping up, it might make sense to split them up based on their technical ideology.

As an examples - Coins that need mining in one place, ones which rely on networking in another etc

The nature of the current situation is that we are still trying to work out what scales best for mainstream appeal.  While Bitcoin is the winner at the moment, we only need to take examples from other areas of technology to see how fast a popular name can disappear (Old Linux distros are a great place to look!)

It might also make it easier to pick the best features of each to build the next generation of crypto currency?
