Made it public as I would like to allow altcoin mining community to chime in I also do not want to make waves.
I want to have a merit point give away thread designed for altcoin miners.
So my question is where do I do the the thread?
My guess would be right here am I correct?
Let me know and I will alter the title of the thread and start it right here.
It would seem to be a personal decision between either the board we are in or this board
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=67.0. Either one would be appropriate in my opinion, as long as you are indeed going to be talking about Alt-coins, and especially mining if it were to stay in this section.
I doubt this would make waves, theymos was very interested in having merits being plentiful in every sub-community and sub-section; the altcoin users are no exception to this. You have my vote and you probably could start it right here in this thread as you've suggested.
I would not make it a simple giveaway, maybe have users submit posts or you can review their overall post history; answer some questions about altcoins or anything that is challenging or would discern meritorious from desperation.
