Does anyone ever look at "Announcements (Altcoins)" anymore?

[Joint Force]

All day every day this page is full of the worst garbage coins that I've never even heard of.

With so many coins being created maybe it's time to sub divide that page into different sections.

- Long term PoW blockchains.
- Short term PoW -> PoS blockchains
- ICOs -> PoS or PoW blockchains
- ICOs -> meta-coin tokens on top of another blockchain

I'm not sure of how to categorize them but there's some options.



One important distinction should probably be blockchain coins and meta-coins on top of a blockchain. PoW and PoS also seems like a pretty important factor within the blockchain coin category.

It's possible and with that idea,it will make things easier for investors and traders but this is basically a bitcoin forum and these altcoins are just one of the category to make this forum popular for those who are into altcoins,in fact there were suggestion to just take down this categories.

[trollercoaster]

Yeah I check it out often enough, they really only need two categories to sort it out, shitcoins and non-shitcoins, 99% of them can go into the shitcoin section, it would save me some time wading through pages of trash to find what I want.

[hisuka]

Yes, Im still checking the announcement altcoins thread on what are the
important news about altcoin. This is still relevant informations to
traders so we can verify what are those shitcoins. And, all of us can be
aware of.

[Pursuer]

good question and I will watch this topic to come back later and see what others have said.

but for me, I used to watch that board (the announcements) and read the altcoins different pages to see what is going on with the development and other things like releasing a new roadmap, a wallet, some other application,... but after a while I gave it up because there is not much to see there in my opinion apart from bad projects one after another that only exist to get pump and dumped and you can never see pump and dump on their announcement thread!

[Spoetnik]

No i stopped looking in the ANN section probably 2 years ago.

And group them up as the first option in the ANN section then move the rest to the scam section.

Done.

[NUFCrichard]

I also stopped ages ago, it is either incredibly long threads that have taken on a life of their own, or sh!tcoins.
I couldn't name the vast majority of the coins announced now, and that is probably a good thing to be honest!

[The Sceptical Chymist]

I'm into very few altcoins as it is, and I wouldn't be able to keep up with the torrent of shitcoin announcements even if I wanted to.  I have that section on ignore, along with a bunch of others.  It's all garbage to me.

[clickerz]

I still check at "Announcement Section" from time to time for some altcoins. Not diretly going to ANN section but from exchanges. From exchanges, I check the coin price then if I want ti buy that coin, I click the coins thread and it is link to ANN section. From there, I read the community inputs as an additional reference for decission making.

[talkbitcoin]

No, i am no longer checking the announcement topics!

because i no more have any interest in what the owner of the altcoins has to say. instead i am only interested in bitcoin in first place and i am interested in the charts and orderbooks of those altcoins, if i like them i invest and dump as soon as possible and if don't see what i like i stay the hell away.

[buwaytress]

I at least browse through the threads and read - just as I do in most other sections. I probably haven't grown to be as cynical as the rest of you lot, due to my tender age in cryptocurrency haha.

I must say that the more I read the whitepapers, the more I believe a lot of them are deliberately written in confusing technobabble. Very few address a need, most seem to just create issues and claim a solution.

[Gahs]

Yeah I check it out often enough, they really only need two categories to sort it out, shitcoins and non-shitcoins, 99% of them can go into the shitcoin section, it would save me some time wading through pages of trash to find what I want.

If you separate alts into "shit coins" and "non-shit coins", lots of "shit coin" developers might decide to sue you for defamation

[Belligerent Fool]

Every day I see atleast 1 new cryptocoin being created and posted in that section, it's a fight for the first page 24/7, you have to go back page after page because the new crap is pushing whatever reading material there is down the Topic page list.

It is a good idea in itself but who is one to judge how long a coin will live for or even succeed, that would also require a Dead coins subtopic but then people will just look there to reboot coins and the process repeats.

[Ayers]

yeah i'm not looking at it too much we have already the best and most prominent coin that have the bes hype as welll, and it has been a shit place full of ico lately, so i don't bother anymore, i just keep an eye if something good like zcash is released

[SyGambler]

I used to check it in the past but now I'm not even bothering , there is only one alt that I care about and my aim is to make more btc by using that alt
in general I'm subscribed to many youtube channels , and when there is a new alt or project coming on they usually highlight it so no need to keep checking the forums with 99.99999% shitcoins 

[arara]

no

only when I know the coin I look for their announcement topic

[BitcoinHodler]

Nah, i don't care about it enough to go and waste my time by checking their announcement and see the same topics over and over again.

With so many coins being created maybe it's time to sub divide that page into different sections.

- Long term PoW blockchains.
- Short term PoW -> PoS blockchains
- ICOs -> PoS or PoW blockchains
- ICOs -> meta-coin tokens on top of another blockchain

i liked the idea of dividing that section into some sub categories. but the problem is the categories. for example ICOs are going to end which board will you put them in? and besides the sub-boards will be filled with the same thing again. now we have multiple boards with shitcoins in it.

however if we could come up with a better categories it would be good.

[JasonXG]

I like to keep track of the ongoings of altcoin movements and the markets to know when to trade. Doesnt really matter if an altcoin is shit or not if I can flip it then why not ?

I don't think splitting it into 4 is such a good idea. Imagine how long it will take to go through and sort all those threads anyway. I do understand why you say that though it is pretty difficult to keep track of what's going on.

[fortunecrypto]

I'm an active trader so yes I am a regular visitor,there's a lot of money to be made in the altcoin,but it so tricky,so need a good knowledge to spot scam and shitcoin to good coins,remember some good coins like ethereum litecoin and doge are in the altcoin section.

[Spoetnik]

I figured most would say no.. it's been flooded so what do you "dev's" expect ?
And most saying yes are dev puppet accounts guaranteed.

I am also the only one pointing out how this is a META forum related topic.
Should i report it so it gets moved ? nah.. it's interesting LOL  

PS:
Thank the morons at Coindesk for posting their news story "why we need all the altcoins we can get"
And in case you all are new here or forget.. the scene supported mass cloning willingly.
I know i argued by myself pretty much with them every step of the way.
The guys that ran Cryptsy and all the users here for example argued it.. defending shitcoin'ing.

Of course you all forget LOL

I have more class & integrity than the whole scene does combined.

The concept of market saturation is lost on retard investards here.
They think the more you make the more valuable they become HAHHAHAHA
