Please don't send shitcoiners to talk to Bitcoin developers.

Bitcoin developers have somewhere between 0 and negative infinity desire to talk to shitcoiners.

This is not to say that someone somewhere might not be able to create some alternative cryptocurrency which is useful and valuable to the world.  Best of luck to them, at least if they have something worthwhile to offer the world.

Seigniorage (or at least the delusional fantasies that people have around how rich they think it's going to make them) is an addictive drug.  Like other addicts, people looking to get rich quick by issuing some tokens are often obnoxious to deal with.   You should think of them as heroin addicts.  Sending them to bitcoin devs is like encountering some junkie on the street and telling them to head over to the neighboring medical clinic for some "pain relief".

Now, of course, not everyone with starry eyed dreams of seigniorage riches is going to react to being turned away with abuse and threats, but enough do (and have) that by 2013 any Bitcoin developer was more than thoroughly fed up with hearing from any of them.  Those who are interested in altcoinery (and the kinds of people and projects it attracts) are *already* in that space, people who aren't and whom only work on Bitcoin do so because they're not.   They certantly don't want to hear yet another grand idea from yet another would be hype-man in the thrall of mania.
