It seems to me that Genesis is not moving with the market. We see exchanges like Bittrex supporting almost 200 alt coins, coinmarketcap listing over 450 alt coins and although I didn't get the exact stats, it seems to be that Scrypt/Keccak/X11 coins outnumber SHA-256 coins. I'm not advocating Genesis taking a "collector mentality" by trying to support most coins, but it would certainly be to their and our advantage to offer a larger selection, perhaps selected on market cap or some other metric of perceived relevance. Having a vote once a month for one new coin, while hundreds come and go, is hardly tenable other than as an early stage "proof of concept". Genesis clearly has the infrastructure to support multiple coins, so surely adding new ones is just a modicum of sysadmin work ? Clearly the mining allocation GUI (a cute gimmick - we can all type numbers if we need to) is not scalable to larger numbers of coins, but that's hardly rocket science to fix.

Genesis broke on the scene with some good innovations. Now they're getting stale.

We're not talking about a home pc here where you can install wallets until you run out of performance and/or diskspace. Simple as it may seem, I bet there's a shocking bit of work behind it all. More importantly, I think there's more to say for a careful collection of coins then for a sh*tload of coins just because they exist. Adding every hyped coin might be more of a bother then an asset eventually. I still believe only a few coins will keep value into the future, so maybe GM's Collector Mentality is future proof Wink

The stale bit, I know the feeling, but I think GM was about to make some announcement two weeks ago? So, stale might be just our perception because we cant see what's going on behind the curtains
