You look at the still photo, and I'm talking about the possible evolution.
Altcoinstalks is at a severe disadvantage in every relevant metric. No way its going to take a measurable traffic share from Bitcointalk. Did all the posters you mention "defect" from here to there? If they want to post over there as well, good for them, but I'd be very surprised if they stopped posting here.
Sig campaigns are the result of Bitcointalk's traffic, prestige & reputation; not the other way around.
Guess I just fail to understand what the problem here is.
That is exactly the point 🎯
I use many forums. You can also find me in stackoverflow and reddit.
There is no "spam fest" in altcoinstalk, AFAIK.
Now that bitcointalk is not the place to host the community of bitcoin mixer users, there is gap. Altcoinstalk is trying to fill that gap. I see no problem at all. It might succeed or not.
Where will you go ask for help if you mix some coins and have problems? Or where will you go ask for information about which mixer to use? This is important, and bitcointalk used to be that place.
