Re: It's Time For Theymos To Kill The Alt Section

Although 99.9% of alt coins are stupid or outright scams, I think they should have a place. Alt coins can be a hedge against any entity that thinks it could crush bitcoin. Any serious attempt to do so would just result in the ascendancy of another coin.
My problem is that it has become almost impossible to sort through the dozens of script-kitty announcements that junk up the forums. There has to be a way to do both.

Could we:

  • Allow blocking of some areas? kinda  like an ignore list for forum sections.
  • Keep posts in the alt section from showing in the recent posts list?
  • Set up another related/linked domain for alts? altcointalk.org is available.
  • Other?

1 and 2 are already possible in your profile settings. There is a Ignore Board Option.

How can you not know this?
Really? I did not know this.  Embarrassed

Also, @surfer43. 99.9% IS way to high. I don't know what percent of alts are serious attempts to create a viable coin. I shouldn't have used numbers. 

Way too high. Even dogecoin isn't a scam coin, and only 'stupid' insofar as it probably won't be alive in a year or two from now. But that's the beauty of our little experiment we have going here: the market will decide that, not forum censorship (except for the most vile cases of scams, of course, which should be removed)
