Mad Crypto is built on the open source project: NoNonsense Forum © Copyright (CC-BY) Kroc Camen

“A simple forum that focuses on discussion and simplicity that favours removing barriers to conversation rather than massaging egos.”


How Mad Crypto differs from other forums:

:: No database
Threads are just RSS feeds. When a reply is added, a new item is added to the feed.

:: No hoops to jump through
No registration, no e-mail confirmation, no CAPTCHA. Just type your message, give a name and password you want to use and your post is made. Use the same name / password pair in the future to keep the same name, it’s that simple.

:: No clutter
No user profiles. No "status updates". No signatures. No user ranks. Just pure discussion with none of the cruft.


Bitcointalk is a huge content generator, home to hours of entertainment. Boasting plenty of bickering, it falls short on substantial content.
Reddit is "the frontpage of the internet". A massive content aggregator, its best attribute is collecting the best stories happening around the world in one place.
While both have more positives than negatives and aren't going away, they combine to be sub-par destinations for having serious, drawn-out discussions.
Mad Crypto gets away from massaging egos (profiles) and incentivising short, whitty posts (points) in favour of discourse and simplicity.



I've been searching a long time for a forum where people can stop in without going through the hoops of registering, verifying, making a signature, adding an avatar, etc.... Even a place I could post a comment without needing to login would be huge! I finally stumbled upon Kroc's sideproject and said, "This is it!"

  • Anyone can make new topics, anyone can comment.
  • You only need to remember your password if you want to keep the name you're posting with.
  • All the discourse topics are RSS feeds so you can "subscribe" to them using Feedly or other and each new post will update the feed.
  • It's a clean interface without all the puffery of every other forum out there, making it a great place to get into deeper conversations.

Anyways, I'd appreciate some field testing of the forum if you're so inclined. Cheers ahead of time.
