I think some subforums are needed. Like giveaways,general discussion, and like "One thread per crypto"

I like the present approach better Most of the alternative cryptos are gimmicky and patently exist just to suck in newcomers who think they are late to ltc and btc Once they prove themselves over a period of time, they can aspire to their own sub forum

I think the alternative currency section is fine, but it is a bit cluttered with all the alt coins that pop up every other day, but I don't think it needs to be divided up further. This many altcoins is blocking development of bitcoin, no need to support it.
How is it blocking development?

They are fine like that. Also alt coins should develop their own communities if they want to get rid of the clone status. If they are unable to do that and still rely on bitcointalk to lure people into their schemes , then they don't deserve anything better than this.

I think a decent community and development behind an alt coin is what set them apart from others, but most of these coins have neither.

I only haunt the altcoin section nowadays due to a couple of developers working on altcoin miners that only seems to be on here. Other than that, I browse Litecointalk.org and Peercointalk.org to keep abreast of developments on there.
I'm also tempted to make a thread with links to altcoin mining software threads and try and get it sticked so I don't have to sift through tons of announcement and giveaway threads to try and find them, which is getting tedious as it is. There's one with a list of most of the alts, it'd be a perfect complimentary thread.

I made a few comments in this similar topic. If it were me, I'd go for:
Alternate Cryptocurrencies / New Coin Launches / Giveaways / Other Discussion
Since those seem to be the main varieties of topic and it would put them all in the same place.
If a thread I replied to 4 hours ago is already on page 6, then it's an incredibly busy forum and could do with being spread out a bit.
And as for saying altcoins should go to another website: I can certainly understand why people feel that way, but like it or not, this place is a victim of it's own success. Of all the places on the internet where people talk about cryptocurrency, this place is #1.
So you have to ask yourself what's best for the future of cryptocurrencies. Obviously you feel it's best if scam coins and novelty coins aren't posted about here, since it tarnishes the reputation of Bitcoin. But I'd argue that it's better they're discussed here, where veterans can tell the newbs that it's a scam or a waste of time. If you pack the newbs off to some dark and dirty corner of the net to talk about the next insert-meme-here-coin, they're going to get ripped off and assume that all cryptos are a con. I'd say that will lead to more people being given a bad impression and would lead to less adoption of Bitcoin overall.
Keep the discussion here, where people can keep watch and prevent scams. Even if you feel Bitcoin doesn't "need" alts to succeed, that fact is that they're here and it's better you don't try to sweep them under the carpet and pretend they don't exist, otherwise their reputation could drag yours down with it.

Such a persuasive and comprehensively compelling counterpoint. Everyone has seen the url and funnily enough there's still a bajillion threads talking about alts. I could leave an equally asinine reply and say "read the thread title". I don't think every alt should have it's own subforum, that would indeed be a nightmare. Separating launch/giveaways/general threads would just be much easier to navigate then everything all piled in one place.

well, they just divided thread by "spam type". It's still the same mess and actually I expected a much stronger line from bitcointalk
That it is, its still the crammed messy organized chaos that we have grown to love, however you should now be able to more or less what sort of spam you are looking for, be it mining help, looking for a new coin, or looking to buy/sell stuff. All of our expectations were zero, so the subforums are blowing minds. Well I didn't expect this to happen. Seems like more work for the mods though.
Very slightly, its divided just enough to soothe my OCD fueled homicidal rage that built inside of me everytime I saw someone try to sell something, or announce a new interesting service and their listing disappeared under piles of "BUY BUY BUY THIS NEW SCAMCOIN OR YOU WILL BE SORRY" Good luck SaltySpitoon...
Hehe, thanks. Ugh, and so it begins...

Batman Begins? Beginning of altcointalk. Just curious how long until the entire forum has been replicated under alt currencies. well, they just divided thread by "spam type". It's still the same mess and actually I expected a much stronger line from bitcointalk
So did I... Not really a correct answer to give to additional requests except 'Maybe, they've caved before, post/pm more about it'.

None of them have any sort of third-party audit, most of them are just sending you unsigned compiled binaries that could be packed with spyware and all sorts of nasty shit. All of them are pump-and-dump schemes as far as I'm concerned. Seriously people, dogecoin, your taking the piss...

Lock the entire sections, and replace it all with a single moderator sticky to other forums these people set up on their own, and make altcoin talk here against the board policies.

So, people buying bitcoins today at $800 each are NOT taking huge risks? Quantum computing could render every crypto-coin (including bitcoin) obsolete tomorrow. You take a risk every time you dabble in ANY crypto coin.

I think the fact that so few people are utilizing that feature means it's not a good solution. Alt currencies can be somewhat interesting sometimes, so I don't want to completely ignore the board just to make sure that looking at the latest threads is relevant to bitcoin, seeing it's still a bitcoin forum. The alt spam is only going to get worse, there's even automated altcoin generators now https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=396991.0Maybe it could depend on where you're checking it from, if I'm in bitcoin discussion, and I click that link, then it should exclude alt currencies and foreign languages. If I'm in alt currencies, then it will exclude bitcoin forum threads.
