I'm also sick of seeing this monero thread bumped to the front page of the altcoin discussion page by the same few posters. At last it's slightly more bearable than the 15 different monero threads but still almost every other altcoin sticks to the less trafficed altcoin announcement page
I know how you feel, I have asked the devs to abandon this sinking ship full of rats and holes that is bitcointalk, they wont hear, its doing harm to Monero having the majority of its discussion in an alien forum, about the rest of your rant, you just hate us cause you aint us.
Stills this forum in inevitable to get those to hear about Monero, who still didn´t. The GetMonero Forum is more like the Inner Circle for those people that did. BCT is like the Social Media Platform for Cryptos.
This is the convenient part to us, but for the ones like legit_chocolateface that may see Monero as a threat to their shitcoin investment, its a reason to troll, so pretty much everyone on crypto already knows about Monero, the next step now is getting in the ears of those who don't, and it cannot be this way IMO, buried in the bitcointalk - altcoin section some few threads of pure platinum bits among thousands of scams and trolls.
If all that was being done were threads on bitcointalk then you would be right and we are doomed. But that is not all that's being done. Monero has been on Let's Talk Bitcoin, David has done some live talks, there were a series of meetups all over Europe this month, etc. We're also on reddit, twitter, and we have our own forum. (Though the last is the absolute worst way to reach any new people, almost by definition.) Finally, many of us discuss Monero with our personal contacts who are totally outside of the existing cryptocurrency universe.
If you have other ideas how to reach more people and help the project in terms of greater awareness, please speak up, or better yet, go do them.
