Title: new Altcoins by new users Post by: shai_ on January 15, 2014, 05:28:06 AM why almost everyone who launches a coin hides behind a new forum user ?
a new github user a domain with a hidden whois information besides... does anyone go through the code of new altcoins ? there could be trojans hiding in the code too and no antivirus will catch it.. it's difficult to know what it legitimate to mine (especially for low hashrate noobs like me).. promising/legitimate altcoin (which only reinvent the wheel) or dust of a well established coin ?

i have mined more different coins than i own wallets, because most of the time the value of those coins are outweighed by the risk of installing a possible rootkit. Title: Re: new Altcoins by new users Post by: cenari0 on January 15, 2014, 07:16:05 AM Yeah i just realised some of them could hide viruses in there..

Because i heard that if you dont take your coin out within 2weeks the pool owner takes it? Plus pools can be thieves sometimes, once i withdrew a thousand coinyes from my pool and i only got 600 lol Title: Re: new Altcoins by new users Post by: 50cent_rapper on January 15, 2014, 05:12:16 PM I thinks it's becuase devs have not 1 coin, but 2,3 or even more.
And what if some of this coins is not successful? |
