It's a shame there's so much money, probably the difference between some people being equal to their colleagues and being paper millionaires, that there doesn't seem to be anywhere to read about this stuff any more as an interested observer. I remember a few years ago /r/bitcoin was somewhere you could read about news and stuff, today it's just people attacking BCH and going insane. I get it, this is like politics except it moves way faster and the result impacts these people immediately and directly - but I wish there was a way to understand the fascinating cryptocurrency world without all the passion. /r/btc seems to be the same on the BCH side.
- DennisP 9y agoI don't know of anywhere to do that in the Bitcoin world, but some newer cryptocurrencies have communities that are a lot more like the early years of Bitcoin.
- sametmax 9y agoYes. Monero is even been adopted by purism as a money for their phone app store. Communties obout altcoins with master nodes are quite interesting as well and quite friendly. Dash comes to mine. Or the fresher and promissing vivo.
- regulation_d 9y agoInterestingly, Dash had a pretty great weekend.
- sametmax 9y agoThanks to the btg opening and then the chinese ddos ?
- marcosdumay 9y ago> this is like politics except it moves way faster and the result impacts these people immediately and directly This cyberpunk world is scary.
- g09980 9y ago/r/ethereum (and the Ethereum community in general) is a much more friendly place. More technical discussion, more collaboration, less "everyone else must lose" politics
- lojack 9y agoHonestly, I attribute this to the fact that ethereum made the decision to keep the subreddit dedicated to technical discussion and to have a separate subreddit dedicated to trading, memes, etc.
- tfha 9y agoOn the other hand the technical quality of the discorse tends to be really low. Things are priased, encouraged, and even rewarded monetarily when they have gaping vulnerabilities or incentive systems that weren't even halfway thought through. It's a big circle jerk that ends up promoting broken technology. Yes, great to be away from the politics, but no, not a good place to learn cryptocurrency design.
- tlrobinson 9y agoI agree. I created /r/bitcointech (https://www.reddit.com/r/bitcointech https://www.reddit.com/r/bitcointech) a few years ago but never got it off the ground. If anyone wants to help me contribute and moderate it I could give it another try.
- xiphias 9y agoThere are still a lot of great resources, but they are scattered. Just look at the bitcoin-dev mailing list with Simplicity paper, and the great talks on Lightning Network on the Scaling Bitcoin conference. I just wish the good presenters would have had more time.
