Don't want 10-20 new shitcoins a day - read this

[ralexvalex]

I had enough this morning cleaning out my roaming folder. Most altcoins I mined which are older then 2 month are worthless now. ZERO. It is usual mine and dump in 2-3 days. Who knows how many lunches we had today? I did not even count. All these new worthless copy-paste coins just doing one thing, consume our resources.

Don't get me wrong I am willing to see new coins, but not like this.

I would like to know what community thinks about this:
"Start New Topic" in    Bitcoin Forum > Other > Alternate cryptocurrencies > Announcements (Altcoins)
is available only to users having 200 posts and more.

I guess bitcointalk can apply this rule in 3 minutes, but think about consequences.
To lunch new coin, dev will have to sacrifice his reputation (or make 200 posts we all can read).

Lets see if these 5-6 devs making lunches everyday can handle this...

Good on you man.  I like it

Dedicatedpool approves =)

But I'd suggest that maybe a 50 post count would be ok, and at least 30 days of sign up time.

Everyone's making lunches.
What are you opening up a restaurant?

Alts are still relatively new. A lot of the top 50 are only a couple of months old. If you can't differentiate a Chinese shitcoin with a premine after a week of lurking here then you're a big part of the reason why this trend continues.

Ohh I can tell the difference between a chinese shitcoin and a good coin.  The thing that gets us once in a while are the hidden premines.  It's open source so we all need to be looking at the code as a community. 

I'll be looking out for them now though... You guys can always get a hold of me on here or in IRC as "binaryclock" if you figure there is a hidden premine, etc.  I love to hear from people.

First, you do realize you won't be able to post your complains anymore right?

Second, What's with censoring the internet?

Third, if I was the lead in a new coin and I need to post to announce my launch, I'm not using my personal account! I'm creating a new account specifically to deal with the coins communication.

There's no way to win this, just read the ANN, see if you like and move on.

This doesn't sound reasonable to me. You might want to make sure that coin developers are experienced before investing time and money into it but post count is not the way to do this. Many developers would have perfectly reasonable reasons to use a new account to promote their projects. Let's say for example that someone wants to protect his project from impersonators, so he creates and uses an account that has the name of his project.

I agree with this. There has to be some sort of requirement/restriction that prevents scammers from being able to launch a coin so easily.

Almost ALL new coins that are being launched here are posted by a BRAND NEW account. It would instill more confidence in the community if the coins were being launched by people that are at least a bit more credible. Without restrictions, scammers can make a new coin, a new account, post it. And if it doesn't work out or if they decide to dump and run, they can do that without any consequences. If they have any high value/old account on bitcointalk, they go unpunished.

This is actually a great idea!

Well, OP might be right in some point that he brings up but this reply is reasonable. I don't find it right to permit posts in a subforum by post count. As said here, people often have good reasons to create a new account for promoting a project. Anonymitycould be one of them. And it should be respected.

maybe it is a good idea

People gotta realize this forum isn't the center of the universe! Dozens of great coin got launch without a post here.

If a team of quality dev that never use this forum wants to use it to promote their new coin? what them? fuck them?

Yeah I understand that too, but believe it or not, based on the current trends I would say the good majority of new altcoins are being launched right here at bitcointalk. If devs launch their coins elsewhere, it is likely they have little interest in posting here too. If they do want to get the exposure on bitcointalk, then they should become active members of the community, get their post counts up, and then be able to post it here.

All in all, if this new change is applied, it will help prevent more harm than it will prevent good. Yeah, it may not be fair for those 10% of devs who are legit and want to launch a good coin, but is it fair to keep the way things are and keep watching hundreds and thousands of people get screwed over by shitty coins and scam devs?

Name one great coin that was launched without an announcement post on this forum. /argument

Could not agree with this more.... lets stop the shit

[prospecta]

Hahahaha what the hell...fuck the free market aye?  Crypto is awesome because there aren't rules...survival of the fittest and all.

[Redtschorn]

The answer isn't restrictions but community responsibility. Not too long ago Bittrex and Poloniex were mere testing grounds for new coins. Scams would fall through the cracks. Bittrex is still is scrub exchange. Don't trade an experimental coin until it's been around for a while.
