tacotime already answered most of this but I'd add:
- With every renaming people get confused (BCN, BMR, MRO..?) you get my point.
Important point. This is
not a rename of BCN. BCN was made public with 80% already mined. This coin was made as a fork of BCN to have a clean launch with no premine, no IPO, no block fee, etc.
- Pls create a new thread for technical help and one for discussion to keep some visibility.
Fantastic suggestion. New users shouldn't have to wade through all the discussion just get help, especially given the rough state of the software.
Ok, thx guys to take the time to address my points. I stopped following the 3-4 threads of Bytecoin/Bitmonero just 2 days ago and came back today, finding yet another renaming attempt (Monero is the best choice yet imho btw) and 4 more threads to follow, so I got a bit upset of the mess I found.
Im happy that apparently the interest in these coins picks up and we see more discussion going and more people joining but to avoid further confusion we should organise our infrastructure and resources.
Especially for new entrants to the threads, we should help them by keeping threads strictly dedicated to either
technical help,
development and
general chatter. The IRC channel is a good place for technical discussion for well educated computer people but its less accessible and information gets lost after a short time. Therefore this forum is most approchable for the general audience and should serve as our prime medium for the moment imho.
With a website coming we could migrate to a dedicated forum once discussions branch out.
But lets take over the Altchain forum first
