altcoin

Rfv-sense: "a unit of [cryptocurrency other than Bitcoin]". I find it doubtful that anyone has ever said something like "He sent them 2 altcoins." — Keφr 11:33, 6 April 2014 (UTC)

By the way, the first sense of "cryptocurrency other than Bitcoin" is in use, but hard to find durable citations for. It may be a candidate for {{hot word}}. The second, however, seems nonexistent. — Keφr 12:13, 19 April 2014 (UTC)

• Delete this sense. I have had a lot of exposure to cryptocurrencies and have never heard of "altcoin" being used this way. -- King of Hearts (talk) 05:28, 29 April 2014 (UTC)
• RFV failed: no attesting quotations provided for the questioned sense. --Dan Polansky (talk) 17:53, 20 June 2014 (UTC)
