I don't think there's a precedent for merging 7 sites into 1 which is what would be the case if all cryptocurrency sites apart from Bitcoin and Etherium were to be merged! | |

Someone already mentioned also that the ID numbers for each post are in chronological order and it wouldn't be easy to merge them. That's just one obstacle for which the "current platform" doesn't yet have precedent for dealing with, as far as I know. | |
| May 11, 2021 at 8:36 | comment | added | Ryan M | That is, at least, possible with the current platform, and it could be proposed to the communities on their meta sites (who could benefit from more users viewing and voting on their questions, as well as keeping their current reputation). Moderators could be moved to the new site (maybe as pro tem) on a case-by-case basis: some, for example, appear to be inactive (a quick glance through the lower activity sites shows at least two that have not even visited their site in over a month). | |
| May 11, 2021 at 8:22 | comment | added | user1271772 | But I don't suppose you expect the combining of several existing sites that have already chosen their moderators (among other things), to happen soon either. | |
| May 11, 2021 at 7:36 | comment | added | Ryan M | I do like the supersite idea, but I don't anticipate that development happening anytime soon, given Stack Exchange's current roadmap. So I'm focusing on what would work best in the existing system. | |
| May 11, 2021 at 7:35 | comment | added | Ryan M | Currently, Bitcoin and Ethereum are notable standouts by virtually any metric. Going beyond those two starts to wade into more ambiguous waters. At any rate, if this idea ends up being used, the Community Managers would be able to look at the existing communities to see which make sense as standalone communities. | |
| May 11, 2021 at 7:28 | comment | added | user1271772 | Perhaps you would consider to include Cardano (a 3rd generation cryptocurrency) along with Etherium (a 2nd generation cryptocurrency) and Bitcoin (a 1st generation cryptocurrency). Also, perhaps the supersite idea of Rebecca Stones could work with your proposal to have an umbrella Cryptocurrency site, considering that so many existing sites would have to be combined. | |
