I understand their dislike of censorship, but will you stick with bitcointalk - or go to the new forum? https://forum.bitcoin.com/ Do you think they can get critical mass there?

because of the valuable domain (bitcoin.com) and some high profile backers i guess it will gain alot traction in the next years.
keep in mind that the 2 main news sources (bitcointalk + reddit) are controlled by the same young guy. that cant be a good thing.
so it is good to have an alternative.

@Kprawn

you can talk about Core and XT the whole day on that forum. no problem.

In that case, I will give it a try... I just do not want to join a forum, where the opposite are true and the same things are done. I am not a big fan of either Core or XT, because they

are pushing their own agenda, and both are not in the best interest of Bitcoin in my opinion. I am all for freedom of speech, but I still have my doubts if Theymos intended to block any

freedom of speech, when he banned some people here and on Reddit, when they brigaded the client discussions. Anyways... I will give it a try and I see no reason, why we cannot

support more than one Bitcoin related forum. Wink

no signature campaign there, no fun, i like to post and earn bitcoin directly, without using fiat crap money

I understand your point. But being part of the Bitcoin community and being a member of these forums ins't a job. People share their opinions, help others, and go in depth about the technical aspects of Bitcoin.

Well why not stay here and do that? And if it just going to be some XT crap which will be uncensored there, no thank you very much.

Are you sure about that? Have you seen this: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/andreas-antonopoulos-about-censorship-on-bitcointalk-and-reddit-1183620

For a moment, I thought you were talking about version 2 of this forum, but I now realize you are only promoting that forum here on Bitcointalk. If they offer the same volume of

quality, you find here.. I would visit them for that... If I see it is a XT fan club and not a forum to discuss Bitcoin, I will leave.

I wonder what will happen when a load of Core supporters go there, and bombard that forum with Core discussions, if there will still be freedom of speech? That is after all, why most

people moved there.. or so they say?

This place has become a total cesspool of assholes. Way too many trolls and idiots. It'd be great if there was a place for quality discussion on certain topics.

This is what always happens when you have many participants and freedom of speech. So any new forum could be a cleaner place only in the beginning. And when there are many participants there it becomes "a total cesspool of assholes" like you said.

So why not just stick to old faithful bitcointalk and ignore those you don't like?

Crypto Swap Exchange

I'll stick with bitcointalk.org
There are more active users in here & have many active users in local section Grin

Also, i saw their forum & saw many trolls there & XT fans there
Only bitcointalk.org can be the best bitcoin forum

Did you just mention "the new forum", this site isn't the next Bitcointalk.
And I will just stay at here, Bitcointalk will be the first and the last.

pretty said they got bitcoin.com to use for their alt coin actually.

This comes with the territory, more people more trolls. If they got anywhere near the users of this forum it would become a cesspool too. Moderation and maintanance at this level of users can be quite a job.

IMO the only good thing that bitcoin.com have is the domain , so i'am not sure about switching there . when you google anything about bitcoin or issue you have with client the first links are either StackExchange/stackoverflow or Bitcointalk .
