You used to get some semi sensible discussions in this section with some posts actually making sense and interesting projects being discussed, now the entire section is just full of Bullshit.

It's been useless and full of spam since 2013 (2012?). Once everyone and their dog started realizing you could make a quick buck opening a coin and pre-mining/ICO/pump'n'dump'ing it, everyone started creating a coin just so they could make some $, not so that they could actually help the altcoin scene to improve.

I must say the alt section has turned to crap recently.

I only go there to see if there are any interesting coins/threads.

Other than that I skip over 99% of the garbage there.

Maybe I should start taking an interest in a few coins again to shake things up.

Haven't mined in a couple of years.

Might be fun.

The altcoin section reflects the reality of altcoins - DEAD.
Sorry to say but they're never going to gain any exposure or adoption are they. Bitcoin was here first and will probably be the only cryptocurrency to succeed & gain mainstream adoption.

Litecoin could play a part, possibly. The others are all a load of crap though & I wouldn't invest a dollar in any of them.

uhh, there are more crypto related boards than this one, for example dogecoin is very popular on reddit.

but yeah, you are right that altcoin hype is already over and I see only real chance to success for bitcoin, dogecoin and dash, basically nothing else. (well, maybe something establish by some private corporation etc..)

Altcoin section? Isn't it already the Peter Todd section? Tongue

Nah, just joking. I think there's a lot of trolls in the altcoin section and someone should moderate it..

now users, there, instead of wasting time in mining of scam each other with altcoin, premine, instamine ico ipo and everything else, they waste time trolling each other, because the former is not longer working

altsection profit was done, from the end of summer 2014, not exactly something that happened yesterday...

I wouldn't say all other altcoins except Litecoin and Bitcoin are a load of crap. There are indeed altcoins which have good features.

How pathetic must your coin be that the only way to attract new users is by constantly trying hard to talk the price up and fight with others?

For some coins this is the only way to 'advertise' and you might ask yourself is this the project you want to invest in which has no damn potential to reach users outside a tiny forum section.

I think it has pretty much always been like this. Sure, you get some decent discussion but most of the time its always been just trolls and bagholders pumping or spreading fud.

MM time?

It's been a very busy week for Monero.

I demand a new MoneroWorld Weekly Digest!

Here I'll start:

Quote

- part time core dev crowdfunding nearly done Shocked

-Chinese translation funded Cool

-Arabic and many other translations Soon(tm)

-Peter Todd says nice thing about Monero, trolls Dash, absolutely epic butthurt ensues Grin

-NoodleDoodle issues massive commit bringing DB to RAM performance levels or better Shocked

-RPIE announces his company will start the process of buying One Million Moneroj Shocked

-8/8 is declared Lucky Monero Day in China Undecided

-Jay-Z films new rap video sitting in hot tub filled with cryptonic coins, champagne, and groupies Wink

-Putin announces he will only sell gas/oil/vodka for XMR Huh

-Monero Bears still understandably terrified of shorting, even given 0% loans Roll Eyes

3 little additions

- a finnish company is planning to get more exposure to monero (edit: just saw that you already mentiioned this)

- a faucet is going to launch within the next few weeks

- 2 newly corwdfunded xmr nodes via bitnodes.net(https://bitnodes.net/status/) are up

Altcoin section is not yet dead , it is just plagued with a lot of trolls recently .
first it was litecoin and now it is monero , and tomorrow it is going to be another altcoin that they are claiming is the next replacement for bitcoin!!

and this was always the way things go , because the nature of altcoins requires that. but you can still find good discussions here too.

agree! But it doesn't mean the altcoins are dead! Most supporters or dev teams of the altcoins are actively involving in their own ANN thread!
