Bitcoin Forum

Hello everyone,
We are collaborating on a basic format for the creation of a book for all the ridiculous things that have happened in Crypto.
Help contribute and let's make this book as awesome as crypto is ridiculous.

Appendix section added for terminology related to crypto!

It could do well,there was a book called "crap towns" that was a roaring success. A book called shit coins might give everyone a laugh and become a roaring success too.

Altcoins are a fringe part of an already fringe scene, let's be realistic here.

Cryptocurrency scene is not fringe at all, it is multimillion dollar business and is still growing. We just need to have one stable leading coin...

Progress is going great guys! Keep on adding what you can think of!

Here's one of the most legendary ico scams, eqx coin

edit. I'm definitely gonna buy this book

is the book a scam? who reads books?

Well, we have Bitcoin.

Try looking into:

StackCoin - This one was epic back then  :D :D one of the first ICO's held on bitcointalk.. NO escrow  :D :D

USBcoin - I lost some serious money on that.. Dev created a workaround in the code to add new coins into the blockchain. In 3-4 hrs of trading on bittrex he made over 60btc

Of course Paycoin drama lol

Maybe the subject ICO coins itself is a good thing to read about for people  :D :D


And what do you think about all the exchanges which went bust?
Coinmarket.io
Mintpal.com
CryptoRush.in (1st version)
Bter hacks

Also positive things of course.. How poloniex got hacked and paid back every penny to their traders, and is still a well respected exchange etc.

Good luck with the book! I was wondering for a while why there wasnt one written yet..  8)

Cheers

PND pandacoin has to go in this, dev's running off, and then trying to get the community to take over and pump the price so certain dev's could dump.

I would buy this book also! will you accept PND? i am stuck with millions! :-) lol

Oh man, I just laughed HARD from the gut! I hadn't seen that. That really sums up the whole "ICO" phase. So glad that's over. Now we have XPY... People never learn!

Also coinex.pw.

Damn how could I forget that one :P

I miss that exchange though... mining and trading, that was a big plus  :)

Coinex was fast, nice and cool. It's a shame that it turned into scam.

If there is a funny section, add the only honest Shitcoin

[RIPO]RipoffCoin: The most honest scam you have ever seen! Now fixing crypto...
