Are there any ways to find out about great coins like this? Or is it mostly done through the announcements section of this forum.
through research watson ... clean cut research ...
honestly - there is always talk about one project or another - but unless you actually make the effort to read through and research what the project is about - then you dont really give yourself a chance to make you own opinions ...
i do this with all the projects im involved in - whether it be just mining - watching - or helping ... i ALWAYS research the background and decipher what the likely outcome is going to be for the project - detailing the background of the project and who is involved ...
it is a time consuming effort - but those who dont research end up normally doing one of two things ... they either take what others say about the project as gospel - and walk away ( or stay - depending on whats said ) - OR - they will bag the project for being half cocked and half baked because things are 'not working' ... not fully understanding that a lot of these projects are 'works in progress' or 'wip' ...
david has put a huge amount of time and effort - along with his team - to make this a functional system ... let alone a growing project ...
but the research will show you that its been around for quite a while and that david and his team are more than equipped to see this project through ... to top things off - it has 'competing' projects currently underway - but sia is the only fully functional one - even with all its bugs and errors ( especially with the wallet ) ...
so when you ask the question about finding out about great coins like this - you will need to do all the research you can - only to realize its NOT about the coin at all ... the coin is just a vehicle to facilitate the project ...
so look for great 'projects' - and you will find your great coin ...
hope that helps narrow it down for you ...

I am of the same mind, brother. I also think research and a scientific approach is the way to go. I was just wondering if there were any other avenues besides bitcointalk forums that experienced people here might know about that others may not have heard of. Or do all the experienced ppl also do 80-90% of information of their research based on the links in the announcement threads on the bitcointalk forums(and whatever links that may be on the linked-to site in the [ANN] thread)?
