Thanks for the smile. See a lot of potential for more sophistication, for example, enter a date you bought/held to add degrees of wisdom (for example, whether you bought ETH at $1,400 or $1), Bitcoin at $20k or $0.01... You could do a shit comparison, LTC vs DOGE, which one is a bigger pile of shit. Which one is smellier, which one is runnier...
Have I noticed a liking for DAG coins? NANO is a screaming HODL!!! (yes, 3 exclamation marks) and GBYTE is "That's some solid shit right there". I might almost tend to agree except IOTA also returns "You chose wisely".
The wisdom idea is funny - I'll add that to our list to think about.
And yes, the answers are based very much on marketcap right now from when we first created this. The answers are meant to be a good laugh, over time we can add more funny/specific answers on coins as more research is done. I think for now it can turn in to an interesting information portal that can also show you basic stats (notice we now show price, market cap, and volume), but below that it can say 'view more stats' and it can take you to that coins dashboard...showing market metrics, github metrics, and a shittiness ranking once we define some sort of algo.
We also can show like top 10 searched coins going through our system, just an interesting statistic to show - there have been well over 30,000 coins entered in the search in just the past 12 hours for example.
^^I tend to word vomit a bit, but let me know your thoughts
Haha, glad you liked the suggestion. Of course we all get that it's for laughs, so my suggestions are really geared towards cracking that grin wider, I'm very well aware that I own a number of shitcoins and don't particularly need convincing otherwise
Oh and yes, a sort of cookie that tracks the user history (which coins they've entered and at which order). Like I could enter BTC first and BCH later, and that might affect my output (as opposed to BCH first and BTC later)?
...
Here's my way of looking at this:
(1) If a coin has been around for a couple of years or so, AND the market capital is over $1 bn, then it's probably OK.
(2) If not, then not OK, barring (3) just below.
(3) A newcoin that passes muster by reasonably trusted well-known programmers in a public forum who know their stuff, AND are not connected to the coin itself.
Ease of use and intended user-base for a crypto are other factors for some.
I only own BTC and BCH. I cannot vouch at all re the other 1900 cryptos.
BitConnect (the original BCC) would have fit that first criteria a while back
Usage is the only criteria for me, but since we can't reliably track actual use (and I don't mean speculative trading), hard to tell which coins apart from Bitcoin actually have people using them.
