First, let me welcome a flood of newcomers to the alt-coin community looking to strike it rich in a digital gold rush. I lovingly refer to you all at the Thriteen's because there have been more alts spun up in the past five months than I believe in the previous two years, leading to a new digital gold rush.
You're heard the stories of people striking it rich with BTC and recently Litecoin because early adopters got in on the basement floor and helped build the coin up. You see how BTC is going through the roof and how LTC will be the next big thing and you're running into the wild west of alt's looking for your riches.
The problem?
You're all fucking crazy and refuse to even learn the history of alts in an effort to not repeat the sins of the past.
Feathercoin? Chinacoin? Junkcoin? All attempts to get in and be an early adopter on a coin. The problem? They're just clones of Litecoin with minor variations (if any).
The only coin I've found interesting was PPCoin but even them still relied on a central authority (defeats the purpose of a cryptocurrency, doesn't it?) to maintain proof-of-stake until the network could sustain it.
That being said, I honestly truly welcome the Thirteens to the community and hope with your joining us, you bring some good original ideas to the table. Not just desires to strike it rich quick.
