Everybody here knows I'm dead against altcoins and have been very vocal about it to the point I irritated smoothie. But at least altcoins don't ask for a source code change in a sign of decency.
but sidechains are there to save us from altcoins while preserving any useful features they might come up with.
why can't you understand this
1:1 sidechains + altcoins features = new & improved Bitcoin ledger = everybody win!
It is very tragic that such a Bitcoin supporter as yourself cannot see the light
cypher may be right that investing in them is foolish, i disagree with him on that but hold no significant alts at this time. But no one needs saving from Altcoins that's a preposterous idea to be discussed over at the altcoin forum.
