It seems like there are fewer and fewer alt coins coming out these days. Is the rate slowing down, or is it just me?

Fewer, yes. The huge slowdown from the 2014 peak remains and hasn't really recovered.

There's a chart on Minki's landing page: https://minkiz.co (reproduced below for convenience):



I've fallen behind a bit on the updates because I've been focused on generating documentation and examples for DOACC. I'll be updating the chart shortly (in the midst of reconciliation, atm) with the 90-odd coins launched since mid-Apr.

 
Cheers

I'm so glad for this !  Maybe people finally realize we don't need tons of this crap.  

All we need is one coin which brings together what made btc famous to begin with, and in a better way!





yes and we already have it litecoin  Smiley

The market participants are maturing and clones of clones are not reaping the rewards of the past. We're reaching the point of diminishing returns for cut and paste entries.

I think 2015 and beyond will bring much more innovation/invention into the space, as the assembly line coin mill of old gradually fades.

Probably because there's no new wave of would be bagholders coming in... So what's the point?
