| Sep 7, 2011 at 2:55 | comment | added | nealmcb | See also the question Are questions about other crypto-currencies on-topic?. The conclusion so far is that not only should forks be included as on-topic, but also comparisons to far-less-similar systems, and perhaps more than that. | |

Also, in this case you might want to include a link to crypto.SE in the FAQ, so that users know where to take general crypto-currency questions. | |
| Sep 6, 2011 at 12:44 | comment | added | ripper234 | @Artem - I would want this SE to be about forks and "design forks" - meaning all crypto currencies that take a significant amount of inspiration from BItcoin. Being decentralized is a key factor in all such crypto currencies. | |
| Sep 6, 2011 at 12:25 | comment | added | Artem Kaznatcheev | note that there are many crypto-currencies in the literature which do not resemble bitcoin at all (for instance they are not decentralized). There are also crypto-currencies that existed before bitcoin. Thus, the set of nonfork cryptocurrencies is non-empty, and a lot of them don't resemble bitcoin at all. | |
