It would be a good thing for Developers to explain was is different about the new coin and even if the community will benefit or even need it.

If its just an exact clone of another coin then what is the point.

This could help to filter the new coin ideas and give us a new breed of innovation and as opposed to stagnation with new Cryptocoins.

search for antimatter coin and Noirbits, those ideas are different, but this forum seems to prefer clones.

Yes, a lot of these coins basically amount to "crapcoins," but on the off chance one of them discovers something innovative, they should all be allowed.  They really aren't hurting anyone, and I don't get where this logic comes from.  If you don't like it, don't read the post, and don't mine it.

For some people yes, but it isn't (and shouldn't be, IMO) that simple.

It s a forum, not a dictatorship. If you dont like forums dont visit them FFS. The very fact you were allowed to post this question is the very fact anyone can post an announce. Grow up.

The fact that people voted yes on this poll shows that the issue is something to be looked at.  Mind you, nuking threads from orbit may be a bit extreme.  At the time of posting there were already a ton of threads begging for the crapcoins to stop.  I was fed up and that's why I posted this topic.  In my own defense, I did include an option in the poll for "I would like to discuss other alternatives".  I openly said I would like to hear other solutions.  Then there was then a lull of crapcoin threads, and everyone said, "oh here's the end".  But it wasn't the end.  At the time of this post, there are 4 seperate threads on the front page about Pheonixcoins by JohnCar, all that could be consolidated, or deleted for all I care.  Sexcoin is still on the front page and has been for a few days, but let's be honest... how legitimate will sexcoin, or pheonixcoin, or even feathercoin be in the eyes of anyone when someone finally says, "we should adopt this system for worldwide commerce".  I know the US government isn't going to recognize them, that's for damn sure.

After all, making money is well and good... but that's not what it's all about.  I believe in BTC and what it was created for.  I also believe in LTC for smaller transactions, and as a secondary form of currency directly tied to BTC... like paper bills and change.  I also like YAC in that it brought a pretty fresh idea to the table with a changing equation factor... I thought that was a great idea, so I mine it with my CPUs.  But the crapcoins now are all about greed.  Greed is what made this subforum what it is now.  People trying to premine crapcoins and pump out as many as possible to try to make a quick buck off of everyone killed it for me.  I agree that forums should be a place to spread ideas, discuss possible innovations and philosophize about what the future should be.  So spread NEW ideas.  Reinventing the wheel and coming up with another wheel is just plain stupid.

ncr1pt0r, I know what censorship is... I don't need your moronic post to a dictionary to tell me.  Honestly, man... bring something worthwhile to this discussion or GTFO.  Again, I already said that I would be happy with an ignore thread option.  I will gladly moderate my own list of what shows up on my end... just give me the ability to do so.

I agree with you, something needs to be done. This is just huting the system overall!

So we should just keep goldcoin on this forum? Let the market work it out.

The simplest solution is to have enough people ignore the accounts of the people releasing these shitcoins and then nobody will take them seriously (even more so).
