Honestly - I didn't know about it. It doesn't have a listing for Stake that I saw. And, I'd rather have a discussion on Stake as opposed to a static page.

fair enough. you can pretty much anything you want there. it has the exchange listings, so that's helpful. github also has issues, so discussion can take place there. the point is: threads get stale quickly. the more general problem is that websites can be corrupted and we need an open system.

this is a bit of a muted response. the current thread system seems to be pretty ineffective. perhaps I have to tackle this differently. it shouldn't be that bad clones get the same airtime as original work. it should be up to the currency devs to show they deserve the airtime. if someone wants to release the #100 lame clone, that should be at the bottom of a queue. as far as I understand cryptsy lists basically everything. some of the clones died within a week.

currently not, no. I'm starting with a static site, not realtime info. so at the moment its just plain HTML. I'm more interested in a central repository and the launch process, but I can add more things over time if there is traction/community feedback.

Got ya. Well, I like the idea behind it. Especially "tiering" things up to better understand what respective level each coin is on in terms of its market cap.

thanks. yes you can pull info with code. I just added an example python script: https://github.com/benjyz/AltCoins/blob/gh-pages/pull_tier.py

the tier system is roughly following the sticky thread. with this it will be much easier to keep info up to date and sorted and not all over the place.

Tier1 are coins over 100M$ marketcap
Tier2 over 1M$
Tier3 all listed coins
Tier5 dead/unknown
Tier6 unsorted

This is pretty cool. Is the tier listing updated automatically as the caps go up and down?

TierX viruses/scam

I hope with this it will be much easier to keep info up to date and sorted and not all over the place. It should also improve the possibility of filtering.

i like this project and thinking of ways to integrate this information on cryptocoincharts.info .... maybe i could pull the tier 1,2,3 of each coin and show this information on the info pages. how are the coins ordered?
