I don't follow the altcoins much anymore. They attained their hour of fame, made a few people wealthy, made a lot of people poorer. People lost interest and those who got burned left the scene.

I rarely see an altcoin listed as a payment option. I do see bitcoin.

Are there any altcoin communities/developers actively pounding on doors trying to get their coin accepted by business?  They lose interest after they sell a few million coins.

Instead, they build a new coin with bigger and better promises hoping people will flock to buy.
