Code quality is dependent on age / maturity in regards to security & stability.
It's not just about Hungarian notation or writing "good code".
You also have to gauge the result with the intention and then the track record of security & stability.
You are totally right, and this is the main purpose of this POLL. I mean, comparing ICO shitcoins with legit coins, i know that Altcoin section is mainly used for speculation and ICO promotion, but i wanted to see the reaction of people regarding this point. As i expected, there is just a few answers.
It's possible some poorly written hobbled together code by a noob could out perform a masterful pro job buy a team of experts.
This happens every day. On this point, bitcoin core team is always looking for developers to participate to the development of Bitcoin, regardless of your age, skills, gender or anything, as long as you can help, you are welcome. If you just want to have a look, and do some suggestions, you are welcome also.
And those scammy ass fucking ICO shitcoins suck balls.
When you talk about code quality and you bring up gay ass ICO faggotry it make me laugh my god damn balls off.
Your poetry is legendary !
I told you all 1,000 times and you still don't get it..
The distribution is the important part (especially the initial distribution)
And what did all those coins in the Poll options do ?
They side stepped the "problem" and went on to do an ICO.
That is like trying to make a new type of vehicle that runs on a revolutionary power source by putting some nice shiny wheels on it.
This is what i always repeat too, but they don't care about these informations, and this is why i explained how to check for such details in the code.
As of now, all the coin projects use the same BIP specs, just a few of them changed it (this is just an example)
Every shithead Altcoin coder COMBINED does not compare to the skill in Satoshi's pinky finger.
A scene full of idiot douche bags.
Best code ? none .. 0.. zip.. nadda.
I agree, Satoshi was a real master coder, but he didn't worked alone on Bitcoin, he was supported by many users who are still in the forum, or in the IRC chans.
For the code quality, Bitcoin is a flagship, followed by Litecoin. check both repos and you will find a lot of similarities, like "Sipa" who is working on both projects, and luke-Jr, laanwj , wtogami ... They are all developers who contributes to both Litecoin and Bitcoin (they contribute a lot this is why they are noticed).
If i had to pick one off the top of my head that DID have some skill and vision etc ?

99.99% are useless little pieces of shit.
Totally right, except the 99.99%, i would say 99.98% because there are some projects who are really good, but needs a lot more time to be matured. Regardless of the ICO thing, the code and idea are good, they should be given a chance to realise their objectives.
Just a note: a blockchain is a database, so i don't think that can create annother way to store datas, even if so, it would still be a database, so it is useless to try to recreate the car, especially if it is to end up with a "car".
