Creating an Altcoin Technical Discussion Board

[Thirdspace]

Honestly, the best way to get a better technical discussion of a given altcoin is to just sign up to their specific forums. There you will get Enthusiasts of that specific altcoin who will help you with the technical knowledge.

agree, one should just go to the dedicated forum to discuss such things
or just raise the questions in its own altcoin ANN thread on this forum
starting new altcoin subforum will just provide new ground for spamfest

You may be correct, but you need to also understand that there are few alts that aren't bad coins to actually obtain, ...

if they are well developed coins, most likely there will be many supporters and communities
and they would surely make an effort to have their own sites and forums to accomodate their needs

Thank you guys for the support you are showing to this topic. Let's continue to have a healthy discussion on why we need a technical board for all altcoins rather than scattered threads here and there that are really hard to distinguish from financial, ico, bounty chatter.

The obvious solution would be to report the 14 threads to be moved to speculation, perhaps some others can be trashcanned for being shit - and there's room for technical discussion. Inside technical threads any shitposts should be reported too until shitposters learn that they shouldn't step into anything that has unknown words in it. A new board wouldn't magically solve this problem anyway - it would still rely on reports and moderators to stay clean.

It would have been much easier to do that if the reporting process was any easier. Right now it takes too much effort to report a mere shitpost.

There is a seperate Ethereum and other Altcoin based Forum on Altcoins Talks forum. I think we can create a Techincal discussion board on that Forum. Altcoins Talks is a Cryptocurrency forum specifically for discussions related to Altcoins. Instead of creating a board on Bitcointalk, you can create a board on Altcointalk.

The two forums aren't managed by the same individuals that's theymos doesn't have control over what happens on that forum. If there was any forum that needs an altcoin technical discussion, it would be Bitcointalk as altcointalk is just filled with spams and copy paste posts been discussed on bitcointalk. Bitcointalk is a host to more individual which can be accounted for technical discussion.

I agree. I wouldnt want to leave this forum and go to some other forum only to find my email id / password leaked or sold off during some hack attempts. Which is entirely very common for small forums like those.

This has a higher chance of getting approved.

I don't think so it would get approved.

This was a topic started by me last year requesting for a Altcoin Technical Section : Can we have a separate board for Altcoin Technical Support & Discussion ?

P.S All the attempts requesting for a Alt Tech board has resulted in a failure till now  

That's what i think as well, additionally there's no moderator or potential moderator who :
1. Have sufficient technical knowledge to identify pseudo-knowledge
2. Can be neutral when moderate controversial topic (such as on-chain/off-chain scaling and PoW/PoS)
3. Interested to moderate this suggested board

Temporary email and different password for each website could solve your concern.

I personally know two people that would kill each other debating over PoW and PoS it would not be very hard to find someone from the technical bitcoin boards to be a mod here. At first it can be a global mod board too. Much like your Indian section.
I know mods here like to remain neutral, it can be a character trait that can be looked for if there was an active interest in getting things moving in the right way. Sad that no attempts before have resulted in anything good, so why don't we try something that lets us make a stronger case this time around?

I know some people like . . . Dannyhamilton, etc never leave the technical and project development parts. If a new board existed, it would give us altcoiners a chance to get our queries resolved by them.

99.999% of all altcoins are either worthless junk or scams.

I have no interest in wasting my time assisting a scammer with his attempt to create yet another uninspired crypto.

You want to talk about Bitcoin, I'm happy to help in any way I can.  You want help with some altcoin nonsense... I'm not your guy.

I already report a huge number of posts that come from Altcoin Discussion. I have probably only scratched 2% of the spam there, though.Why not move to Serious discussion, where it's much higher quality than Altcoin Discussion but flexible enough to open for the topic?
