Three new alt-coin subforums added = my "show unread posts" is instantly flooded with new scamcoin announce threads. These add nothing to the community, and should be banished. Lock the entire sections, and replace it all with a single moderator sticky to other forums these people set up on their own, and make altcoin talk here against the board policies.

Add those boards to your ignore boards list if you don't want to see them in your unread posts. I actually manually adjusted settings for people who ignored Alt Cryptocurrencies so they would ignore the new subsections. There were only three such people...
One of the members ignoring alt currency is me, and I had to go into "ignore boards" and check the ignore boxes for the new forums - they were not checked. The same thing happens when a new local sub is created.

I would take that to mean there's more than 3 and he missed something.

I think the fact that so few people are utilizing that feature means it's not a good solution. Alt currencies can be somewhat interesting sometimes, so I don't want to completely ignore the board just to make sure that looking at the latest threads is relevant to bitcoin, seeing it's still a bitcoin forum. The alt spam is only going to get worse, there's even automated altcoin generators now https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/for-sale-due-to-lack-of-development-time-automatic-altcoin-generator-396991

Maybe it could depend on where you're checking it from, if I'm in bitcoin discussion, and I click that link, then it should exclude alt currencies and foreign languages. If I'm in alt currencies, then it will exclude bitcoin forum threads.

We should just delete every altcoin thread. They don't belong here, people using them are taking huge risks.

So, people buying bitcoins today at $800 each are NOT taking huge risks?

Quantum computing could render every crypto-coin (including bitcoin) obsolete tomorrow.  You take a risk every time you dabble in ANY crypto coin.

Quantom computers aren't good at everything, even if they were, just raise difficulty to 100 trillion, you are spreading fud

None of them have any sort of third-party audit, most of them are just sending you unsigned compiled binaries that could be packed with spyware and all sorts of nasty shit. All of them are pump-and-dump schemes as far as  I'm concerned. Seriously people, dogecoin, your taking the piss...

well, they just divided thread by "spam type".
It's still the same mess and actually I expected a much stronger line from bitcointalk

That it is, its still the crammed messy organized chaos that we have grown to love, however you should now be able to more or less what sort of spam you are looking for, be it mining help, looking for a new coin, or looking to buy/sell stuff. All of our expectations were zero, so the subforums are blowing minds.

Well I didn't expect this to happen. Seems like more work for the mods though.

Very slightly, its divided just enough to soothe my OCD fueled homicidal rage that built inside of me everytime I saw someone try to sell something, or announce a new interesting service and their listing disappeared under piles of "BUY BUY BUY THIS NEW SCAMCOIN OR YOU WILL BE SORRY"

Good luck SaltySpitoon...

Hehe, thanks.

Ugh, and so it begins...

Batman Begins?

Beginning of altcointalk. Just curious how long until the entire forum has been replicated under alt currencies.

Not really a correct answer to give to additional requests except 'Maybe, they've caved before, post/pm more about it'.

It's not going to happen. The alt-coin section exists so there's a place to throw discussion about alt-coins, because otherwise it'd be spread out all over the board.
Fail! It happend.

What happened?

New sub forums in the alt coin section.

Read our url
Such a persuasive and comprehensively compelling counterpoint.   Roll Eyes

Everyone has seen the url and funnily enough there's still a bajillion threads talking about alts.  I could leave an equally asinine reply and say "read the thread title".  I don't think every alt should have it's own subforum, that would indeed be a nightmare.  Separating launch/giveaways/general threads would just be much easier to navigate then everything all piled in one place.

Too bad there's no trusted party to develop altcointalk.org
