coins that no one is willing to buy are certainly dead and buried

coins don't die so easy. Low price doesn't mean it is dead. Even if nobody mines it anymore it can be resurrected at any time.

their network is so unsecure is not even funny

Hello quantitative and impressive people of the internet:

Here are some stats I'd love to see but don't see how to generate---maybe you folks see more than me.

* frequency of appearance of new altcoins---how many altcoins appear per unit time (you choose the most germane unit)
* average length of life for an altcoin---what's the average time between first block mined and last block mined for an arbitrary altcoin.  i suppose that what happens at the end of an altcoins life is that no one is mining it anymore.  but if the fact is that there's always some joker who keeps mining then maybe the metric for end-of-life should be when the price hits < some_relevant_low_value.

What do you guys know about this stuff?
