- Myriadcoin (8bitcoder)
- SceinCoin (Redkendra)
- Mimiccoin  (MaxGuevara)

- Riecoin (gatra)
- Unitus
- UNO (WillowRosenborg, or is it Bryce Weiner  ::) )

 Suspected coins:

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The copy coin cloner works together with different scammers and he and his team creates large amounts of sockpuppets to post in the above threads (one example of a sockpuppet from the copy coin cloner is "WillowRosenborg" ).

The scam for each coin follows more or less the same pattern:
- Coin is copied by the copy coin clown and announced as a "fair launched coin"
- The announcement is done lousy so that only a few miners mine.
- Usually a small group of miners mine his coin, which have a huge reward at start (eg Quark and Zeta were completely mined after 6 months).
- After the coin is almost completely mined by the scam group and copy coin clown they are more or less able to "control" the market.
- His coins are all listed at Cryptopia so I am almost sure cryptopia is part of this scam group.
- Also ocminer always list his coins at start, so most probably he is part of this group (as ocminer indicates he only trusts coins from known devs).
- After coin is almost completely mined and rewards are small, the coin is heavily promoted (videos, twitter etcetc). People are requested to hold their coins, whatever happens.
- During mining phase there is zero development of coin (no activity at github, and copy coin clown is absent in coin thread). During heavy promotion copy coin clown pretends suddenly he is active by typing 1 or 2 sentences in github.
- High pump. People invest at high prizes, and the large bagholders (scam people) dump their bags.
- Rinse and repeat several times till it is not profitable anymore.

Some stories about his scam coins:

Quark:
User "Digitalindustry" bribed Bill Still to promote Quark:
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=673185.0

Mimiccoin:
Again user "Digitalindustry" tried to create a scam coin together with the copy coin clown; mimiccoin. DI also explained how he scams people:
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=781954.0

Zetacoin:
Somebody wrote a whole book about this scamcoin: https://issuu.com/zetacoinjustice/docs/zetacoin_review_web

Chaincoin:
Nonsense promotion about masternodes and HODL. The scam story can be found here:
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=422149.msg20356340#msg20356340

Chaincoin is promoted by the same person who is scamming UNO, and lots of sockpuppets were given away here:
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=299308.msg10667896;topicseen#msg10667896
The same scammer from UNO in the Chaincoin could be identified here:

If somebody know more coins of this copy coin clown, or this group just post it below. Then I will update the list.
I don't have the illusion that with this post the scamgroup can be stopped. But I hope for more awareness.
The list is far from complete, this is just a tip of the iceberg.

This copy coin clown is also correlated with "Bryce Weiner" thanks to this video:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_oX_OSq4v0M

This video reveals much more coins (like the nation coins) created by this copy coin clown.


Scammer "Digitalindustry" (DI) is also active scamming (as bagholder) the following coins (with several sockpuppets for example Tara11):
- Platincoin
- Tesla
- Energycoin
- Mooncoin
- Infinitecoin
- Socialcoin
- Einsteinium
- UFOcoin (he is obsessed about UFO's)
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Scammer DI is mostly interested in old abandoned forgotten coins listed on lousy exchanges like Cryptopia. He buys them up and when he owns >50% of the coins he comes into action to pump and dump them.

Yep I agree with you! People should know about this
Their newest "project" is called "Interzone"

Yep I also found links to Signatum.

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2140812.0

thank you for your service

You are just Posing as looking out for the community.
Most of those coins made decent returns for investors.

Afterall, every other new coin is a fork of Bitcoin or Litecoin or Dash etc.,
No offense though.

Signatum clone of what? Or you mean signatum classic? - classic is p&d coin and vega too (if you need more fantastic storyes - look on vega)

Interzone - why ?

Interzone is obvious.... 1/1 copy of CHC from wallet to everything.

I also suspect Lindacoin

or simply stay away from shitcoins to avoid the risk

"Never invest more than you can afford to lose, because you will lose it."

I actually posted in the lindacoin thread after a couple of peeps posts concerned with the rich list was deleted, and my post was deleted too.

"quickdeal" announced Lindacoin, but he is not the copy coin clown I am looking for.
Sometimes he creates coins for other scammers (for example mimiccoin for DigitalIndustry).

Why do you suspect the copy coin clown created Lindacoin?

I don't think Interzone is a scam at all, noobs may find "copying" stuff to be scary, but this is happening to almost every coin out there (Except maybe for NEM) that they are fork of BTC, DASH etc.

Doesn't mean they are scam, kid. But who am I to tell you this right? Just some random schmucks on the internet telling you something.

What is so "futuristic" and "next-level" about Interzone that the so called "devs" claim it to be?

silvermetal, take a look at "StartCoin" : https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=651307.0

insta approved by ocminer

Startcoin was created for Max Keiser. Just like MaxCoin.
Somebody else was already convinced that MaxCoin was created by this copy coin clown: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=260031.msg20267242#msg20267242

Startcoin and Maxcoin follow a different pattern I have seen earlier from this copy coin clown but I will add startcoin and maxcoin as suspected coins created by this copy coin clown.

you're right.

Hey. Maybe you wanna look into it.

Nobody in Zoin claims to have connection with Signatum... But when Signatum FB page changed to Zoin, suddenly Zoin ANN page has "NEW TEAM" written on it. Something's fishy maybe you want to take a look

LUX coin is the copy of signatum scam but with premine and less block reward

Could be, but it's more likely just Cryptopia's business model (they have over 1000 markets). You can get any shitcoin listed, as long as you pay and as long as the network is somewhat working.
