This section is ugly, filled with copycat coins which are either scam or premined.
The section has to die, or implement approved only threads for new alts. No new or innovative features = can't release it on this forum.

I agree with part of what you said. If the coin is premined or instamined it has no place in this forum.

Coins without innovation are fine. It gives the developers the chance to promote and whoever promotes better wins like DOGE did with Olympics.

I think some altcoins are becoming so successful that are threatening the existance of bitcoin in long term. Look at DOGE, many exchanges are trading all altcoins with DOGE now.

I never understood why LITECOIN has a big name. Its not worth mining. Not worth keeping. Not worth trading. I understand it was the first Scrypt based open source and base for 99% of the alts but still it should be treated as a standard, or a base not a coin itself.

So with LTC out of the way we only have BTC and DOGE that are valid. The rest are come and go stuff.

Just let it go guys. Many people made forums for altcoins. You can join other forums.

I'm sharing my forum for your giveaways, altcoins and anything else you need.

Anyone that supports bit-fascism/authoritarianism, meaning Bitcoin as the only dominant, official currency, can't be trusted as far as you can throw them.  Centralization of power created in that manner is no different than the system we already have now.  What happens if Bitcoin is the only currency and the govt takes it over?  They can appoint Ben Bernanke to lead it, force new, fork updates to inflate the number to Dogecoin levels, redirect transaction fees to be sent straight to the IRS wallet, etc.

Bitcoin as the only currency has the potential to be a more Orwellian nightmare than the economic system we have now.  There has to be lots of competitors to have a free market, to prevent government from monopolizing it.

Beware of the current Bitcoin devs/Satoshi wannabes.  Their outward hostility to any coin besides Bitcoin truly shows they are either completely corrupt, or oblivious to the point I make in the paragraph above.  They cannot be trusted for this reason.

This describes them perfectly. Because how they are acting is why you actually hear people talking about staying away from bitcoin alittle. They truly represent a lot of them, and this would indicate that they will affect the price overall. Because it is actually too centralized in a way, and as usual when a too few people have too much power history repeats itself.

The reason bitcoin made it is the reason it may fail, if we don't expose these tyrants for who they are.

The Alternate cryptocurrencies section is the only one worth reading.  Take it away and what have you got left really?  Some people on this forum have heads so swollen now they cant even stick it their own posterior any more.

A bunch of old bitcoin heads sipping tea and saying "yup"... LOL

The recent changes have made the forums a lot easier to use. They're cleaner, more organised, and there's less crud.

So I don't see why the alt section should be shut down. I'd like to see it stay. It's a pain to have multiple forums open.

Sure there are quite a few crapcoins, but there's also a lot of fun coins. Dogecoin has become very popular and is introducing a lot of people to crypto currencies and Bitcoin. That wouldn't have happened without the alt section here being so popular.

Compare the attitudes of people in /r/bitcoin and /r/dogecoin. Night & day. Some of the light-heartedness and gentle kindness you see in /r/dogecoin isn't a bad thing. And you can see a good amount of that here as well. That's likely a crowd that's good to keep.

But while there might not be a huge amount of innovation, it's not like we're torturing puppies here in the alt forum.

Meh... Whoever's in charge can do whatever they like. But they'll end up driving a lot of people away. Those that hate alts simply don't have to read the alt forum. Is that so hard?

Couldn't have said it better.

yeah, bitcoin-fascism.
Lol. Probably an op to crash alts a bit and buy cheap before the big rally.
Stop the freakin talks already. Kill this section and let's go somewhere else. This bitcointalk is a honeypot anyways.  

Centralization is only a good thing for those in power. Applies to all areas.

disregard of Bitcoin? Is this some stupid joke? No one owes bitcoin or its community anything. Stop acting like a fucking primadonna and maybe people will respect you. People disregard bitcoin because there's nothing to regard. The sense of entitlement and arrogance of bitcoin and litecoin owners is what turns people off in the first place.

A FUCKENMEN!
When I first started mining getting help setting up or other questions answered was hell. Mostly because those 2 communities were just total jerkoffs then.

YOu want to know who stepped up and helped me? At that time it was the devs/ supporters of gamecoin and BBQ. Yeah 2 coins that were not even thought to be listed at that time.

Alt coins are not needed - they deflate Bitcoin.

The main problem with decentralisation is the amount of knob rots creating idiotic coins and there is no one to stop/punish them for they're disregard of Bitcoin.  Angry
Is it possible that altcoins will define the next step for bitcoin? I think they already have. Look at the number of people that mine things like doge, or EAC. They are increasing the usage of bitcoin in the process. They are providing reach to bitcoin that would otherwise be impossible to people that can't afford ASICs.

If it were not for the altcoins, BTC might not have gotten overstock, tiger direct, etc.

I do think that these forums are ridiculous though. Dedicated moderation and the creation of some sub forums would help a lot.

No disagreement here but would point out two additional things. When i cash out if my altcoin (assuming they are worth anything in the future) i will have to buy bitcoin to get cash. Or I may just keep bitcoin if it is standard currency by then. But i am not alone, it may turn out the huge wave higher in btc is liquidation of dumb altcoins as they collapse into their own shadow. Panics are like that and all altcoins are basically only fungible with bitcoin now. So it is in fact stabilizing demand albeit in a perverse fashion.

Second, nobody who is not really into bitcoins or altcoins knows this site exists or will ever come across it. So the idea that it is giving bitcoin a bad name, not really. Random weirdness like doge crawls into the mainstream but this is still a small universe and tittiecoin 2.0 will not be dinner table conversation anywhere outside of your geekdom here.  

Think that was all.

Such arrogance...

Dogecoin has increased visibility for all cryptocurrencies by a huge amount. The great community around dogecoin serves as a great starting point for newbies who are too intimidated by the bitcoin community. Many dogecoin users then go on to own bitcoins as well. It's a mutually beneficial relationship.

I am glad the alt coin section has not been closed. The variety and creativity is actually healthy. If the fiat currency was only u.s and no other currencies were allowed there would be no trading, nothing happening. We need these alternatives and it leads also to more technical innovation for the Future. I do suggest an alt currency giveaway section on it's own as it w :)ould drive traffic for that site but I would say peeps can only post there if they make at least  number of posts in other sections..Just my 2 bit.

And the altcoins does incredibly much for the overall popularity of cryptos.

Let them shut it down, Theymos is Bitcoin Rich enough that he doesn't need the extra hits.  I'd love to just move all the alt coin talk over to Cryptocoin Talk, the guy Jim who runs it is very accommodating.

I agree on Cryptocointalk. It could use more traffic (as long as we keep the goof etiquette and atmosphere).
