I can only say that there are several variations of how people behave with such cryptocurrencies.
1) Keep them just in the hope of excessive growth. But these people have almost all the tokens that exist on the market.
2) Sell directly despite the price.
3) Try to beat off the declared value, and at a payback, continue to trade.

If they are not traded then you can't do anything, but burn them or leave them in your wallet. In all other cases just sell them ASAP, to save at lease some of your investments. Otherwise you risk to loose everything. And always check an ICO twice before investing.

I have several times to get frustrated in following the ico project that the end is a scam, it has been a few weeks I do when I open again already in the key then I visit the official website, I see already down, like florio and workpress ico. that's my experience.

You just need to ignore them in your wallet, because today it takes money to move them to another purse, so now I do not think that you need to do anything with them at all, maybe in the near future there will be an opportunity to recycle them.

If possible, get rid of them immediately. You'll get at least some income. A lot of projects throw them, because their idea has nothing to do with cryptocurrency and they just collected money for some cafe or Slippers with heating.

Scam project means they are not traded on exchange right? There is nothing one can do with them, there is no way they can be disposed. It just stays in your wallet and you just ignore.

You actually can't do much, if the ICO tokens turned to be a scam token or it will, then it is better to dump them. If its ERC20 token then just sell them on forkdelta, you actually won't earn much might be some pennies at least you will get rid of them and won't get annoyed by seeing them in your wallet daily. Or just keep them in your wallet if the tokens aren't in a large amount because sending them will just consume your gas. Or once you trade good/legit coin which is currently present in you wallet don't send the exchanged coins in the same wallet make another wallet. Once your current wallet is emptied with good coins just forget about your current wallet because it will be only left with scam tokens.

There's nothing we can actually with it but to accept the fact that were fooled and we should be wiser next time. Hence, we can use it as a learning so that we won't be making wrong decisi here in crypto world. Again.

For airdrops, I advise you to create a separate purse and an e-mail box. If the token is worth something, you can transfer it to the main wallet. And you will not do anything with scam coins.

Cant do anything about it,or you can send those tokens into wrong addresses so that you wont have to worry about those tokens because even if you waited forever these tokens wont have any value,worthless piece of shit indeed as just like what others says and you should be able to get or rid when you send these tokens into wrong smartcontract address.

There's nothing you can do about them. If they are not traded, they will simply be lying on your purse. No harm will come to you, so don't worry.

There is nothing you could do if it is a scam token for sure it wouldn't have any value,
That would only be a good reminder or a collection of token in your wallet.

Scam project means they are not traded on exchange right?
Dont forget about Yobit!  ;D and in which bank does the Tether store its 2.1 billion $?

Mate it's already a scam so you know what to do.

You can't trade it off and don't be a part of it by selling it to others just for your profits sake. Just forget that token and you can't get rid off it.

I dont think we have anything doing with them, as far as they are not useful to us, the only thing we can do is to burn them or you just keep them in your wallet without no uses.
But we should be mindful and watchful of ICO we participate in to avoid scam ones.

I've seen somewhere a similar theme. On my ethereum wallet i have such tokens,  i got them from airdrops. But I'm not going to do anything with them. what will you do with them? you can't throw them away, sell them, too. It is hoped that someone will pump these token in the future on a decentralized exchanges and we will be able to sell  ;)

Post by: saycryptohello on May 09, 2018, 08:09:15 PM
just forget about them, because there are failures. can in 2 years they suddenly shoot, unless of course the project does not die before

Simple forget about it, that's better. Thinking about a scam project is just waste of time, use your valuable time to get good tokens. Think like this, it was a bad luck and you lost some of your investment. Not a big deal unless you invest like a blind.

First of all, if you happen to see a scam ICO don't bother to join or even touch them they have no value in the future. And they were all just a pile of shitcoin and mostly of them came from airdrop. Airdrop nowadays is not recommendable to join because of those spam of tokens in your wallet that has no value.

Why should someone pump a scam token? There are many potential coins that people are more interested in them.
Just forget them. There is no better option.

Why would you invest in those scam ICO in the first place, you do not need to invest in every projects, invest only if you think that the projects are genuine and has a meaning if they even develop the project and those does not have any real world importance, just do not invest in it. The first thing you should do is to avoid all the shady projects, so that you do not fall for those scams.

What can we do. Make a wallet of scam token collections   :). I also have valueless tokens in my wallet from successful ICOs but their tokens were not listed in exchanges, some of those are from successful ICOs too but became inactive tokens in exchanges which made them valueless.


Title: Re: What to do with scam ICO tokens?
Post by: len23 on May 09, 2018, 08:29:40 PM
There is nothing we can do to the scam ICO tokens but to just leave in the wallet because we can not use it nor cash out.

Extract experience from failed investments. This is the best thing you can get. In the last place, count on the implementation of coins

the token of the ICO scam? probably won't be anything because no doubt will not sell if for sale. Anyway if the sale still there will be no one wants to buy. so from that of at is not going to gain results, choose the ICO should also note in order to get paid.

Unless they can do something? If the ICO was a Scam but they sent you their tokens then they will be stored on your wallet.
