i'm not defending, specially because i dont think this is a good idea(mine sh*tcoins). but how would that help him with his dead coins?
rimbit price isn't good right now and i dont see a massive adoption of this idea, so, i dont see the dead coin being pumped because rimbit is accepting it.
and like i said, that might bring a little dump to rimbit, so that would be even worse to him.
It is a risky strategy and you are right, it could bring a dump or two to rimbit. It is a gamble and as with these things it could be worthwhile or not. It gives owners of other coins a chance to get out of something that is dead or dying and into something that gives them a chance to make some money. Yes they may well dump and that is the risk rimbit is taking. However, they may just get to like rimbit, the forum and its members and see it as a long term and thereby creating a win-win for both parties.
Hopefully if enough people can buy into rimbit the price will move upwards and everyone involved will be happy.
