600 Altcoins, with a combined value of $460m, $200m excluding Ripple.
600 projects! Lets say 100-200 Devs, 2,000-4,000 supporters overall.
Imagine if those projects coordinated efforts around a handful of projects. Bitcoin wouldn't have a chance.
All the scams would be significantly reduced too.
You can see people dumping alts all over the place to go and try to make a quick buck on the various altcoin mafia scams going on at the moment. Some genuine projects getting hurt. Its a real shame.
Greed beats technological advancement hands down I guess.
I recall starting a thread of all the new coins launching with x11
DARKCOIN is one of the few coins with a full time developer, and a developer that is open about who he really is: Evan Duffield.
While working on Darkcoin, Evan has created a number of new innovations. These are now starting to be used by other coins, including clones of Darkcoin or existing coins that are changing to adopt Darkcoin innovations.
This is a list of the the coins that are using Darkcoin innovations.
* Badgercoin - x11

I've seen several projects now all launching with 'masternodes'
Maybe what we need to do at this early point is start a Node Trust Alliance - possibly a Decentralized Node Alliance or DNA
We don't all need to be working and struggling in our little silos on the same code to run the nodes. We can work on the same code to run our networks, but build different applications for our projects and then we can all run PR through the Alliance; kick-out scam coins; promote best practice; etc.
No fees, just a code of professionalism.
DNA
Lets make it so, Nr.1
