Re: Petition for Monero to have its own board, so we don't bother the altcoins.
I think at this point it's fair to say that everyone on Bitcoin Talk is aware that Monero is the successor to Bitcoin proper. Calling it an altcoin is inaccurate and a clumsy, archaic protocol.
No, just no.
Monero shares no (high level) code with Bitcoin, so it not a fork like other altcoins.
But as a store of value that also functions as a medium of exchange, Monero represents an alternative socioeconomic consensus, so it's an altcoin in the socioeconomic sense.
Given the vast overlap (basically embedding) of XMR's user base with BTC's, I have no problem using the broader definition.
And XMR is definitely an altcoin as far as its functionality, which include providing an opaque blockchain as an alternative to BTC's transparency and a dynamic block size as an alternative to BTC's static approach.
Maybe we can
Monero.bitcointalk.org
No more Monero threads (and threads about Monero threads) on the alt board, no more DashHole and Vtrash BS in Monero threads.
Win/win.
