Title: Why most of friends here dislike DeepOnion?
Post by: kidddwkr on December 11, 2017, 02:00:37 PM
I had to admit, Onion‘s marketing method will make a few members make meaningless remarks but I can not deny the success of this kind of marketing way .
Lots of newbies joined it and made efforts .As a new crypto ,DeepOnion got much influence and power .
And the Onion built on the Tor network ,as a web developer however I am still very interested in this intimating and safe technology which due to its broad prospect .

Don't we just hate it because of those annoying guys who do not obey the rules or something else?
(Hatred is not good at all I thought .)

If I had to guess it's hated because it's:

 - heavily premined (being an airdrop) so funds are centralized;
 - newbies who doesn't know any better spam it everywhere;
 - it offers nothing new, in fact it has taken steps backwards from crypto fundamentals (i.e. initial coin distribution is unfair, funds are centralized, airdrops are not transparent).

And TOR is certainly nothing new, routing nodes via TOR has been around for years. For example Joincoin's first block was mined in 2014-08-11 and I believe it had built in TOR "anonimity" from the start.

They delete constructive criticism from their main thread and only pump and promote only. I don't trust that.    I was going to participate in their airdrop but their forum doesn't send out confirmation emails in a timely manner. If you're going to insist people confirm their accounts, make sure the system works timely. Also include the tor configuration files with the wallet, don't make people download them. This is simple stuff that should take 24 hours to fix if they had people on board that were actually working on things to make the process user friendly and seamless, which should be their number one priority. NEM's software was light years ahead of theirs 12 months ago.. this wallet is the basic wallet all the clonecoins use. Making people use command line to get their private key? Come on... Maybe it has a future, but if they support tor and privacy, they should also support free speech and constructive criticism. I don't trust them.

Because it looks more like a giant ponzi scheme, it has a lot of marketing, but you don't see any updates to its code.

I personally hate coins that offer no new things, there are some coins offering new things but also they may be scam  :)

I think somebody have the different opinion and many other must respect about it. Sometimes many people no respect about the different opinion. So, we must respect in the different opinion because the different will change and make life full color :)

The marketing approach of DeepOnion is a bit of an antipathy to me, and then I see on guthub that their code updates are a bit slow, so I think they're more of a cheater.

yes, people wanting to get into their signature reward system need to buy a certain amount of coins to even get into it. Enough said.
