Thanks for the advice. Should I stop combing this forum for genuine businesses or ideas fuelled by altcoin technologies ?
Yeah i think so, it is a bitcoin forum
look at the consistent marketcap of your alt you are interested in, of course the higher the consistent marketcap the stronger the network and dev team
look at Litecoin, namecoin, ppcoin, darkcoin etc and emerging alts that are backed by investors - ripple, ethereum
check out their forums and you will find genuine businesses or ideas fuelled by altcoin technologies
of course with a username like stellar I am sure you have heard of this alt
