1- If you were to predict the eventual success of a new altcoin, would the discussion patterns in its announcement page provide any meaningful signal? If yes, how so?

2- What are good marketing strategies for new altcoins on bitcointalk?

3- Have you noticed any difference in discussion between members who have been on bitcointalk for many years versus just a few weeks? Or communities that focus on technological innovation versus those who only care about identifying a good investment?

4- What about discussion that involves a small number of very active users versus those that involve small contributions from many users?

5- Is there any specific patterns in discussions that are likely to be related to fraudulent coins or pump and dump schemes?

1. It could but I can't guarantee this nor I will advise you to follow this as the best indicator. Here is the thing some board out there are buying people to write comments and thus thing such as this can be easily manipulated. Of course that when price raises for particular crypto that you can see more talk in the ANN theard.

2. ANN theard of course maybe bounty of some sort to distribute the coins to people by promoting it. Altcoin needs to have something advanced, not just some simple basic thing like any other shitcoin out there.

3. Many new accounts can be made simply to spam but it doesn't always have to be this way. I've seen some low ranked members to have good knowledge about the subject of crypto and for their comments/posts to be really valuble. Just because somebody opened an account yesterday doesn't mean that he or she is totally new crypto at all.

4. Depends on what we are talking about really.

5. Of course there are patterns but I can not think of any atm, sometimes it is hard to notice or it get pumped totally in the different way.
