Also, I am about to start something new related to crypto and if things go well then may be I shall link that to bitcointalk as well.
Looking forward to the initiative you are planning to bring in pawan.
So if you want quality discussion, first let's ostracise the trolls and butthurt worms that the Indian community attracts. There is no unison here.
Go to the Turkish board or the Spanish or even the Phillipinian board, you raise a finger against one of the older members and everyone starts defending them if they aren't guilty of anything.
We Indians aren't like that. Maybe not the entire billion of us, but how much of our population even knows or cares about Bitcoin that they find their way here?
Those communities are huge and people have connected over a long time. I think this also has a lot to do with our work ethic as Indians. I wouldn't be surprised if a lot of people are wary of directly associating themselves here.
We also need a few path-breakers from the initial days. Benson was a decent guy of course but I think he is yet to recover from the backstabbing he got from that phD guy who had the private keys.
Its about trust and integrity. It is sad that we as a creed of men have become so morally bankrupt that one man cannot trust another man. This lack of trust and integrity seeps into all walks of life. Even if someone is doing something good, there will be a few people always trying to pull them down.
Yet, for all the gloom, let us hope for the best. I am sure there are a few bad apples everywhere, in every nationality and community. With certain laid down principles and good examples, we can all be better together.
