^ Or just an active moderator. The Development & Technical Discussion allows signatures and I think that could be done also on the altcoin technical discussion board.

But in the case that is not possible, maybe a general Altcoin technical board for discussion of all altcoins could be the least thing this community deserves.

This has a higher chance of getting approved.

i would love to see a new "altcoin technical discussion" board but not coin specific, a general one for altcoins is the best thing to do since i wouldn't expect that much "technical" discussion in such a board and this is a bitcoin forum, creating a dozen dedicated boards to each coin would just crowd up the place not to mention that if an when these coins die, their board will remain here and become useless, whereas a general board would still be valid.

by the way the question you linked is more like a technical support not discussion.

And please ban signatures there - meaning nothing is displayed there / uncounted somehow. Would make it clean and have only "real analysts" (?lol) checking threads out.

Honestly, the best way to get a better technical discussion of a given altcoin is to just sign up to their specific forums. There you will get Enthusiasts of that specific altcoin who will help you with the technical knowledge.

Most of the people in the altcoin section here are just clueless signature and bounty spammers who just care about getting a few tokens made out of a thin air so even if a technical discussion board was created, it would be filled with such people.

I mean just look at the different threads of most of those top projects like litecoin, Ethereum... Infact most of the founders and initiators of these projects have already abandoned the threads a long time ago to their specific forums.

I am not saying it's a bad idea to have altcoin technical discussion here but what's on ground is that it won't possible to bring back those enthusiasts who have already left for their specific coin forums like https://forum.ethereum.org, so you may find you problem or question not getting solved/discussed according to how you want it for days

Usually the threshold for creating a new board would be if a certain category of threads crowd out most of an existing board. So for example if technical threads take up 50%+ of Altcoin Discussion you might have a case. But I don't think that's happening. Alternatively, perhaps some other category is dominating Altcoin Discussion and can be split off, leaving Altcoin Discussion for more technical threads, but I don't see that either.

It is not happening because altcoin discussion thread is inundated with signature spammers. It is not happening because there is no space for it to happen. Not the other way around. There are boards for off topic here and there are board for regional languages which are almost always dead. So why not something that let's people discuss the technical things with more ease. I know some people like ETF, Dannyhamilton, etc never leave the technical and project development parts. If a new board existed, it would give us altcoiners a chance to get our queries resolved by them. Not that it cannot happen now, but getting noticed for a technical point among a sea of shit posters is like being the lucky needle in a stack of hay.

I was doing some small research into an Ethereum based problem and ran into obstacles that had no specific dedicated board for it to be addressed. So I ended up posting it in the Bitcoin Technical Discussion board https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/ethereum-technical-question-5193854

It is easy to dismiss this idea but it is very important that it does not get dismissed. It may not be practical to have a dedicated board for every altcoin but surely something that crosses a certain market cap level, could get its own board. Altcoins like Ethereum, Cosmos, DAI are pretty complex to understand in the first go and it will definitely be beneficial for all of us here in this forum if they got their own dedicated sub boards.

But in the case that is not possible, maybe a general Altcoin technical board for discussion of all altcoins could be the least thing this community deserves.
