They also have their own coin helping charity and stuff. News is the most inportand part of the site but there's a forum with many active participant too. I've been there for quite some time.

How about a Marketfy product?

I love APIs too but I think what we need here is someone to do the grunt work the old-fashioned way and periodically publish their findings to paying members.

How is ProTraderTips?

Thanks for an informative reply. It'd have to be a free trial, I guess. In this domain reputations can be purchased and are mostly worthless; in other domains, reputations cannot be purchased and are mostly priceless.

I'm not aware of anything along the lines you describe (not that I claim any authority in the matter). As far as I know, the nearest match is altcoincalendar.info but that's a long way from your requirements because i) it's just a calendar and ii) the content is somewhat variable in terms of detail and significance - it is dependent on the API receiving genuine announcements vs joke material. And that's really where the problem lies; the information is unreliable at source, joke or otherwise. It'd be a case of garbage in, garbage out.

Things may be looking up though. I've noticed an increasing number of comments recently calling/hoping for increased transparency so perhaps attitudes are starting to harden towards misinformation and deliberate disingenuity.

I envisage a transparency-oriented scheme, analogous to the FOSS "Description of a Project" DOAP scheme, that publishes altcoin core metadata in a computationally-tractable format. This would at least enable you to apply your own programmatic filters or simply browse summaries of the latest announcements.

We're not there yet, though.

Cheers,

Graham.

Anybody?  There has got to be something out there.

Fee-charged is fine if there's a free trial and/or a great reputation.

I hope you'll excuse the question but are you mainly thinking of free-to-read offerings or do you also as a matter of course consider fee-charging offerings? I'm interested in people's perceptions.

Cheers

Graham

Are there any websites or blogs out there that do a good job of scouting out new altcoins?  I'm hoping someone is out there combing through these forums and picking out the interesting stuff and writing about it.
