| May 11, 2021 at 0:36 | comment | added | Rob | It would seem more in line with current practice to divide (merge) Cryptocurrency sites based on their underlying algorithm rather than to containerize (prejudice) one subject compared to the perceived usefulness of other subject areas. Not only would that reduce potential new sites but it would group similar expertise, and provide an active community for most new currencies. - Each site has several dozen passionate core members with a huge investment in effort (and many less so), and new sites have that potential for good; given the chance. | |

A lot of what you're saying is correct, but you say scientists are busy writing papers and that on these sites it's difficult to compose a great question, yet all these science sites have more questions/day than the listed cryptocurrency site with the most questions/day, indicating that the cryptocurrency sites aren't doing very well compared to the science sites. It's true that Coffee.SE isn't doing well either, but I think we've already taken care of that problem by reducing the time limit for getting through A51. | |

| May 10, 2021 at 23:23 | comment | added | user1271772 | I didn't "miss" Cardano, I just don't think it's fair to say the site is a failure when it's only been in Private Beta for 13 days. It's true that other sites aren't doing well, but we've taken care of that by reducing the time-limit for Definition and Commitment in A51 from "unlimited" to "1-year" to "4 months". The problem with the listed crypto sites is that the commitment/day ratio is high enough to get through A51 commitment despite the reduced time limit, but the communities aren't actually demonstrating worthiness of having a full site to themselves. | |

Scientists work. | |

Changed room link to the room's transcript link so folks can see the room without entering it and causing a flood.

| May 10, 2021 at 22:01 | comment | added | user1271772 | @Rubén That's a very interesting point, and probably enough for a separate question of its own, as my answer would be a few paragraphs long. | |
| May 10, 2021 at 21:58 | comment | added | Rubén | How this situation with the Area51 proposals for new cryptocurrencies sites affects the existing sites / communities? Are there any proposals that are being affected by this situation? | |
| May 10, 2021 at 21:58 | comment | added | zcoop98 | You could probably count Augur in that first list too, though it was more blockchain and less currency. | |
