If a coin gets "established" I think a subboard in the Alt. Coin Section for this coin would be fair I think.

But so far, there isn't enough "talk" going on about any of them (Litecoin too) that would justify this.

Just look at the Altcoin Bard. There isn't very much discussion going on about Litecoin. When there are at least 10 really active Litecoin threads about different Topics, then it would make sense to think about a Litcoin Subboard in the Alternate cryptocurrencies Board.


For the rest. This is Bitcointalk + allowing one Alt out of the alt section would either be a free pass for all of them or would result in endless discussions.

You are going to have a cut off line through. Why should some arbitrary criteria decide what's "real" and what is "scam"?

Best solution would be.. bitcointalk.

ShitCoinv2 has changed more than Litecoin. Remember, Litecoin was a 5 line or so change from Tenebrix or whatever.

I consider PPCoin to be a "real" coin, so does Namecoin, whatever, but what if they're excluded?

No, mods do not make this decision.

That said, this is bitcointalk.org not cryptotalk.org, so I find your proposal extremely hard, if not impossible to realize here. We're having enough problems with the next *coin popping up to pump and dump the poor newbies now.

That's not to say that we can't have talk of REAL cryptos in the main board...

How do you define 'real' cryptos then?

This is a forum related question not an alt discussion.
Starting out with a disclaimer I own BTC and LTC and think ripple is a scam.

If we see that another crypto currency, such as LTC, really catches on, will the forum continue to regulate it to the alt section or can we use the current infrastructure to discuss these issues. I feel that dividing the crypto community among different forums id plain stupid. we dont need an LTC forum and a ripple forum. Everyone is here, along with their ratings and rep.

Could mods please consider turning this into a crypto forum rather than a bitcoin forum, if and when a time comes when this is neccesary?
