So Ashnod's Altar reads; "0: sacrifice a crwsture to add two colorless to your mana pool. Play thi ability as an interrupt." Can you continuously sacrifice to activate the abilitly? Since its no many was payed?
For example i have eldrazi spawn that when sacrifced i get one colorless mana? Sayi have 10 eldrazi spawn, could i sacrifice all ten to get twenty mana?
Unless specified otherwise, you can activate an ability as many times as you can pay its cost (the cost being sacrificing a creature in this case). If you have 10 creatures, you can indeed sacrifice them all to the Altar to get 20 mana in the same step or phase if you so desire.
As an aside, note that cards' printed text, especially older cards', can be misleading, there can be errata on them. You need to check to the Oracle (official, up-to-date) text of the cards to know how they truly read officially. Click on the autocard link I generated in your post to see the Altar's file, you'll find the Oracle text there. 'Interrupt' is a concept that doesn't exist anymore, and the cost of the Altar's ability is "sacrifice a creature:", there is no "0:".
I'm a former judge (lapsed), who keeps up to date on rules and policy. Keep in mind that judges' answers aren't necessarily more valid than those of people who aren't judges; what matters is we can quote the rules to back up our answers. When in doubt, ask for such quotes.
You're right on the money when it comes to one sacrifice, one creature. How you'd win the game in any format where the Altar is legal and you have ten Eldrazi tokens is beyond me.
