Important note, though: many alt-alt-coins get started before they are listed on an exchange, right? If that's the case, you'll never see them on a site like WTM, which pulls pricing from exchanges! If so, we must choose to mine them directly, and without a price reference. A large number of coins is the reward for supporting a project before everyone knows it has succeeded.

Yeah, I know they are not on WTM because they are not on exchanges; even in case of SIGT, while it was on ATH, it wasn't listed on WTM until more than a week or so. Many miners (myself) who depend on WTM has missed the opportunity to mine SIGT during that period.

For recently-listed altcoins on exchanges, we also have the option of simply trading into them on the exchanges, which is probably quicker and easier than adding support from them in nvOC. Quite honestly, as time goes by, many of those coins will become deprecated garbage in 1bash... it's a bit inevitable, so it doesn't make a lot of sense to build the ecosystem around them. So adding these alt-altcoins, especially those that aren't listed on exchanges, seems like a waste of effort and the creation of future bloat.

Perhaps this is a good case for a "sidebash..." a file just for short-term speculative coin inclusion. Coins could be dated on entry, and after 90 or 180 days or something, a coin gets migrated into 1bash as a going concern, or gets dropped as a pointless coin.

You are right, you can buy those coins on exchanges (only if they are listed on exchanges, if not they are just a pile of garbage). But how can someone judge whether a new alt coin will go to exchanges/garbage?

Coming to 1bash, yeah lots of coins gets deprecated (like going POS or project being dumped/scrapped), not sure how to handle "sidebash", perhaps fullzero will have an answer maybe!

Well, if not many miners are interested in mining new ALT coins, I should put an end to this topic Grin
