What makes a coin dead? I would say when it has no active nodes, no trading volume and no development, in that order. Anyone have a different definition?
My second question, why does CMC still list these coins!?!?!?

Pause of development, team going offline and not updating the ANN as recently RestoToken did, close to zero interest and daily trading volume and many more.
Up to nearly a year ago CMC listed every coin wihj 10,000 USD daily volume and it was a kiddy game for every dev to do it for few days until get listed. Not the limit is 100,000 USD daily volume.

Dead coins usually do not have large volumes in exchange, or low trading activities.
A large exchange will make a decision that is a delist from their trading list.
coinmarketcap will not display dead coins. that in my opinion.

Most of them maybe devs didnt liquidate some funds to run the project with actual cash before the market crash down and now they are stuck with low budgets mostly lower than 200k and no trade at all because community is seeing no result Is already listed on CMC and is legit the problem is devs and community are just down on it The only hope is for better marketing to get trading back up

Dead coins are usually near the bottom rankings of CMC. That is why it is very risky to invest in coins with very low market caps and volumes.

CMC is listing coins THAT passed and submit their required standards. For such inactivities of projects, I think it takes months before they delist it or maybe an appeal.

I think coins could be considered dead if the team has no funds to develop or they abandon(No activity for a month atleast)

when the Coin is dead, the transaction volume does not exist. the demand for coins has been very little and even none at all. seeing this, I want to say that the coin does not get support from the developer. because if the developer supports it, the coin will survive. coin that has a quality developer team then the Coin will last.

The first reason is developers. But developers also have their own reasons. They maybe lack funds or coin has failed and doesn't have large volumes on the exchanges, no demand for coin.

There are many causes for a coin to die, from lack of funds for development, disputes between developers, local government regulations, community responses or market interests and other things.

I absolutly sure that 95% coins in market are dead. The best way to be rich with cryptocurrency is watching for perspective and high level coins.

When the developers disappear and the source code is closed, that is the start of a dead coin. However, it is up to the community to keep it alive. If all the buyers step away and the exchanges stop trading it, then you can consider it dead

There are several reasons projects becoming dead despite having good tech & consonantly updated their codes on GitHub etc but still they fail because they doesn't give importance to bring users on their platform. With working product it is also important to have the users which makes whole ecosystem of the project better. We are still in bear market & bear market have crossed its second year, most coin/tokens have lost over about 80% of their values as compared to their ATH values (https://athcoinindex.com/). There are some tokens which are performing well despite the downturn because they are working on adoption of their project take example of TRON with great strategy to buy BitTorrent & launching ICO which will ultimately bring 100million users on TRON blockchain. In a nutshell bear markets are famous to bring separate the man from the boys , the weak from the strong & for bringing the cream all over the top.

Coinmarketcap does not charge any listing fees for projects to list on their index so there is no point of questioning them.

It seems to me that if a coin has no idea, then it can automatically be considered dead. even if the project team is not professional

If the coin is delisted from the last exchange, it is not dead yet, but unfortunately shortly probably it will be. The definitive death of a coin is the stop of its development, so abandon it by the developers.

I usually don’t look for the coins below top 100 and that is enough reason for me not to invest on small coins. CMC should make a standards on listing so the investors will have a better choices. Dead coins is just like a scam coins because of no development with in the project.

The exchanges themselves analyze the dead coins and remove them from their list. Yes, they have neither bidding nor demand, and by the way there are much more than active and profitable ones. This is the main reason for the market.

The coin can be considered as a dead coin when it has no mode development, this project can be defined as a dead project. There was a lot of dead coins still have a few bucks of daily volume trade.  Nodes can't be considered as the main factor to define that.

I think a certain coin is considered as dead when there are no buy orders in an exchange. It happens when the developers and the team don't do something to make some changes and developments. I am currently holding dead coins but I still look at the positive possibilities.

here is a site for you :P
https://deadcoins.com/

dont know, hard to say what makes a coin dead...
yeah, most coins are down.. ( price ) so they seem to be dead... no volume, liquidity.. but development still ongoing..
you need to watch, but the fact is.. it will be a hard and long way for 90% of the coins to come back

Well, it is difficult to apply all possible definitions of dead for all projects.
But some characteristics such as volume, media and people's interest for some purpose on this project!
I think that CMC is not being honest in recent times and are giving away important coins to make people forget.
However, the truth always prevails and will soon prevail.
Many projects have false volumes and are already dead! ;)

I think coin can be called dead when the coin has no interest in the market, and it can be influenced by several factors such as many things that are not in accordance with their goals or maybe the development process is experiencing obstacles.

Definitely no nodes. Since then transactions cant happen. No treading volume or development dont make coin dead. It just add to the possibility to die soon.

of course no one buys it and a bad team, DEVs are not serious about the coins and only seek profits from ico.
I also don't know why CMC still displays it on their site, I don't know the listing on CMC is paid or not.

Coin dies, indeed, the market has no interest, it's worthless even though the team is active, but without movement and volume, what's the point. This is difficult to develop, so before dying it's better to just throw it away when you have a small volume even if you have to lose, this risk must indeed be done to set a better strategy.

CMC doesn’t have any obligation to unlist anytime the tokens that are considered scam since the coins that are listed there are those that have volumes. Secondly, you can sense the project before it became a scam will lose its update everyday and go silent either in there telegram or any medium. Basically sometimes this scam projects are legit from the start but as time pass by their dev and team cannot anymore sustain the projects longetivity that’s why it turns out dead.

Zero demand means there's no interest and no money circulating in to that coin. There can be a market cap which can stay because of those people that can sell it anymore because no one wants to buy it.

No development means no movement and the project is totally dead at that time. But if something goes on and the devs of it decided to work for that project, a movement can change its future. It doesn't mean they are on CMC they are worth coins to buy.

The dead coin is definitely useless and is not in demand by crypto lovers. There is no movement in the market even though the team is still there and cannot maintain its quality.

Soon it will be more and more dead projects on the market. Lots of useless forks, lots of coins without anything new in them. Devs team must get a salary, and most of ICO have money to work just for a few years. So most ICO we saw in 2017-2018 will be dead till 2020-2021.

It really makes no sense to keep listed those coins while they are already a dead project. CMC don't give a fuck to this and that's why I do prefer coingecko more than CMC. Projects with least nodes and no development should be kicked out in my opinion.

I think CMC gives some time before removing the coin completely. Nodes can be restored, and why look for all information from scratch when you can not delete them for a while.
I think the lack of nodes does not mean the total death of a coin.

Yes, no activity from devs, low or close to zero trading volumes are only few reasons why it would be considered a dead coins. And most of them doesn't have anything to offer whatsoever, and majority are just for pump-and-dump scheme.


I guess CMC will still list those coins because there are exchanges listed them as well. If exchanges decided to de-list these dead coins then it will be just a matter of time before it will be gone in CMC as well.

A coin gets termed to be dead when there is no proper development as well it gets de listed from exchanges due to lack of circulation. There were lots and lots of such coins, CMC lists those coins, but it clearly mentions the circulation of the coin. Upon the same one can conclude whether the respective coin is good or not.

The coin or token will become dead if the developer will abandon their works as this will be due to no volume or no investors wanted to buy or invest on those coins. It can also be the developer is out of budget to continue the development. Mostly those at bottom of the marketcap which has lesser volume and no real product will usually be declared as dead coins. If you going to invest on the cheap coins with lesser volume be sure that the team is still active and willing to continue until they launch the real product.

Yes you are right they take up space on coinmarketcap and investors might think that the coin is still alive they should have delete those coins that do not have a volume for over a month I still a lot of coins like that in their list.

If there is no progress and if the developers keeps on promising and yet no result. A dead coin should really be out of this market, CMC will just put it on the last spot but i think they will no delete that coin easily since they paid for that so don’t depend much on CMC.

When developers has stop developing the projects after ico,  we can call those coins dead.  Because the coin start to have value when it start attract investors.  Therefore many coins we have in the market now should be refer to as dead coins.

This year we will see the death of most coins. I hope these hell days are gone as soon as possible.

Having high volumes after listing on the stock market and then suddenly falling to zero volume levels is a big factor..In these projects, the team probably stopped working.

A coin don't have any trading volume at any after trading exchanges available for crypto then it must to be considered as a dead coin. The coinmarketcap may have some of the dead coin because they may not aware of this at the process of removing from the list taking too longer to process.

the latest gossip lately. which projects will die and fail. it's easy to distinguish. you need to look at the team and the road map.

is there something unreasonable? then you have to give up that project.

Coin developers that dont have funding does not constitute a dead coin.  If they abandon fine, but being funded or not has no bearing on a dead or "alive" coin

I think CMC not always update their list everyday except for coin that listed on them. They will listed it immediately. So if you already know if CMC not delisted dead coins immediately, you can filter it by yourself.

Even if they die a thousand times , i dont think developers wont stop creating new replacements  . they will always create another one because thats what you  called s business  .  they earn a profit if people invest on their coin  .

The price maybe dumped right now but there will always be investors that keeps on buying cryptos  . so im not expecting that many coins will die this year  . 

In general, the coins will become crap or dead if there is no more investments and activities in their market due to the team owners of that certain coin already abandoned the project. I see no problem if they will be still listed in CMC as long as they will belong to the lowest ranks list in which investors will be caution to not to invest in these coins.

My own opinion a coin dead if :
1. lack of development update
2. Community member decreased and low activity on this community
3. low trading volume on the exchange
4. Too many FUD that makes price dump
5. Their product useless

why does CMC still list these coins!?!?!?

there are so many dead coins that still stand on CMC list, it takes time to remove them on their list...

That is why investors should not patronize buying on those shady ICO most of them are money grabbers if your going to invest pick on the top 10 coins on cmc.

Dead coins because the dev leave and they did not take care so the investor sell their coin and those future investor did not invest.

The dead coins have no interest and there is no price, this makes the loss holder otherwise useless. Indeed, many of us met in CMC, the team still survives for this coin and is likely to still have the funds to stay in CMC, even though there are no interested parties. CMC will not delete it from the list.

Some coins are dead because of the owner leaving out the project or the owner scamming users. For example, Centra token, which was endorsed by celebrities like Floyd Mayweather etc. Unfortunately this project already ended as a scam but still it is trading on some exchanges.

They probably do this to keep records of it, a dead coin does not really take a lot of space in their servers and it is a good idea for them to keep records of such a coin especially since they offer a service that allows you to see all the historical data they have available so it is in their best interest to show they are not trying to hide anything, because if they did not showed the dead coins then people will wonder what they are hiding if they did what you suggest.

Main reason of dead coins is no progress in development of coin or dev team just left the project. Like Whalecoin or Mix, for example.

I believe, CMC delist dead coins, but 1 time in quarter maybe.

Bad market and the nature of that coin is worthless.
There are many other reasons to influence.
But basically, too bad market led to many early deaths coin.

I suppose a dead coin would mean no dev activity and no trading. What we really want to ignore is effectively dead coins, i.e. with very little dev activity or trading - and obviously this is a grey area, and so that's why it's harder to track.

There are different types of dead coins and those factors you mentioned are all valid. You could also consider it a dead coin if they further development with the project or update from their website and social media accounts. I am also wondering why coinmarketcap still considering these altcoins to be listed on their website which could mislead an investor. Coinmarketcap should take consideration wipe those trash altcoins.

Empty GitHub, no news in social media sites, no response in telegram group, but also dead coin could be a coin with active development but without buyers.

also if the roadmap are already done and there is no improvement with the flow of the market of a coin you can also set it aside and consider it as a dead coin, although it has still a value but it wont last anymore.

but the coin dies if in my opinion it does not have a future and does not continue development so that many coins die because the coin does not want to develop it anymore

CMC listing doesn't matter nowadays. You need to see the trading volume carefully, total volume, 24 hours trading volume, team activity to know which coin is dead and which is good. Many coins had good volume, CMC listed them and after then their volume became 24-30 USD, so their ranking now 2100+ ! So, one day, CMC will delist those coins, So, by checking all these things, you are sure that those coins are Dead!

coin can't die , because we can see that crypto development is increasing and the trading volume may be high every day , there is nothing to worry about all because the market conditions are not good

A coin that is still going under active development is never really dead, you can see some coins in the past that lost almost all its value and were considered to be dead by many that eventually recovered because the developers kept working day and night in their project, I know this is rare but it has happened before and it will happen again so the only reason that seems valid to me to consider that a project has failed is if the developers stop working in the coin.

In fact, there are a lot more projects and coins than those that you can see on the CMC website. In reality, there are probably more than 10,000, and maybe even more. Dead coin is a rather conventional concept, And it often happened that someone thought the project was dead, but after a while he began to work again. Therefore, this is all inaccurate.

there are many things that can make the coin die, in the outline you have mentioned several factors. I think the coin died because it failed to attract investors to invest in the coin so the developers just left.

it's possible when the coin was registered with CoinMarketCap before the team failed to develop and there was no capital to continue working on the project, but when the ICO pre-sale their project was successful.

Basically, no interest, no news or just the team went nowhere, that's why the token is dying and have no liquidity. The market overall has issues with that.
CMC delists it time by time though.

Many things make coins die and this is very useless, coins die because there really is no interest, even though the team is active but there is no renewal and also obsolete. Seeing this will definitely get rid of itself and no longer sell.

This is because the impact of the price increase is very significant in 2017. So the market price in 2018 collapses. And the impact for all Altcoin also collapsed. And even every coin cannot get funds for development. So many of these coins die because of the absence of investors.

Many cause coins to die and in 2018 there are many coins that die. And the market price is also very influential because the price collapses. Many dead coins are registered at CMC because when they have registered the coins are still active and growing. But with the market conditions collapsing and many investors leaving the market. So that coins that have bad teams and developers will definitely stop.

Dead coin means a coon without an active developments news or without community. Also we can say that dead coins has no volume on exchanges.

You maybe right but these coin are not dead, let's just say it's resting right now and once the market will show it's bullish again
I'm sure these coins that are sleeping will once again come alive. Perhaps it's like us investors, when we feel it's not good to sell, we hold.

Timing is necessary, so we have to do it with timing so in the end we will reap what we expected.

Well you've got the scam and bogus projects leading to 2018 to blame for that. With so many of these icos ending up as bs coins, it dragged the ico industry down with it, with investors learning their lessons last year. I doubt if many of those dead coins will have a second lease on life.

In any case, a certain part of sleeping coins can develop very strongly when a cryptocurrency market begins to recover. I have examples of certain projects, whose coins. One year after the completion of the ico, the companies begin to go public. And some have value, but so far they have not been trading anywhere.

Dead coins that I know those ICO coins listed in the market but they have no enough volume to increase up again so the potential of it getting lost.

Volume has its own role in determining the demand, but creating a conclusion based on the volume alone is not justifiable. The volume reflects its total demand, but as long as the project keeps delivering something to the project itself and the community, it can not be considered as a dead project.
we can tell whether it is dead or not based on the development, if they are getting close to their goal but they are lacking the volume. It might be happened due to accumulation phase, in most case, the whales were suppressing the price in order to push the price down so they could get a lot of coins cheaply.

the main point how some coindefined are dead is, if they using PoW of course when nothing any miney in their ecosystem is make this coin dead, and another point like you said nothing showing any volume trade in market until few day, week and month can make the coin is useless

There are a lot of dead coins in my investment portfolio. I doubt that I will have the opportunity to sell them someday.

Coins do not have large volumes in exchainge , disputes between developers , and local government regulations .

if you ask about mineable coins, here is so many reason, for example : people dont want mining, becouse it is  bad business way. here is some coins, with low speed, want 1.2 day or more. becouse miners is offline.

but before this : you want make coin, with future updates,  different is Dogecoin, Dogecoin is unique coin, team leave Dogecoin, and here isnot good reason for Dogecoin popularity, but it is popular, its Fausets favorite coin, + if you play small online games, for example agar.io  you can find here - Dogecoin avatars, this is only one here. people like dogecoin :D :D

Coin is dead if the official Github is not updated.
And why CMC still shows these coins? Because CoinMarketCap is not responsible for that, they can´t do research about 2000 coins at one time.

But what tokens do you guys mean or think are dead for example? I mean, just to be safe.. Good to know other's opinions/thoughts.

Based on a lot of analysis, more than 500 coins and tokens have died, this is because of the intense competition and red market conditions, from this experience of course we have to choose coins that have good potential in the future.

In my opinion, if a project don't have any development, trading volume and community, it is a dead project. Those 3 play a vital role of the growth/adoption of a coin. CMC don't care about those fact. I also don't like CMC. I prefer to use coingecko as an alternative to CMC. It has great feature.

The development of this project is very important and this is what everyone who has coins will expect. So if this project continues to be developed so that it can attract many investors. And coins will continue to grow and succeed. But if it is not developed, the coin will slowly die.

No actual product and no marketing can lead the price of the coin to go to almost zero, It means you should atleast do one of said things right

Basically what kills the coin is a death of hype and liquidity around of the coin. Hype and the possibility to buy and sell the coin are two things that make the coin to stand out of the crowd. When people don't know that the coin even exists and have no possibility to sell it for some other coin, the coin could as well not exist.

what makes coin dead? of course no buyers because their project is shitty, lack of marketing, some of them scam.

there are so many coins that are currently dead and if you say CMC is still listed on their platform then that is already natural because CMC is the center of information for all existing cryptocurrency, from there you can distinguish whether the coin has life or not.

People's ignorance and lack of desire to trade and have it makes coin dead. It is a really sad things but it is a normal part of coin existence

They have no reason why they are listed in cmc because they have a money to used and to enter their coin in cmc but traders of the coin gonna decide to so lot of them have no volume.

not only that but the dead coin is a coin that is not developed anymore from the project, so there have been a lot of coins dying because it was not developed anymore and less interested too

there has been no demand for purchasing power on a clear basis, never buy an altcoin that has a low volume of trading.
try having an altcoin that has a high trading volume like the top 10 altcoins in CMC.

There is many reason behind that .I think bad marketing and run without any planning can makes a coin dead .I also think less knowledge of developing can also make it dead .At the end ,the value and also the volume of the coin decrease .I actually not have much knowledge why CMC don't reject it from the list may be the don't think about the concern cause people don't want to to invest on the bottom coin .

First of all, investors should be interested not only in their profits, but also in the development of the project. If everyone adheres to such rules, then the investment will even go to the topic No, which is at the very bottom. I saw that projects there also have very good prospects, if their project develops.

Firstly, no one will know the real fact behind the reason why CMC still list some coins which seems to be dead in the crypto market because that's their personal decision. However, market a coin dead is when there's low trading volume, no social/other updates and developers quit the project which happened before to a project I knew well on this forum.

yes it needs the proper promotion to reach the people to get involved in this project otherwise the kind will definitely not worth for their expectation this is also one of the main reasons for death coin.

As I observe some of the coin that list in cmc is some coin that doing air drops only or some that no ICO. And some coin now after listing they run away.

90 of altcoins will dead in 2019 and 2020
last year coins without projects are shilled and make big pumps. in this 2 years they will come 0 value.

Your question really makes sense, coins die because there is no trading volume on the exchanger for the altcoin.
but actually CMC has acted to remove some dead altcoins from their list. maybe you don't know it yet.

A coin is declared dead by simply lowering its value into zero. If people doesnt want to invest into that coin, its value will decrease until its not profitable enough. Most of this altcoins are those who doesnt that useful or those coins that are considered scam.

This long bear market also contributes to downfall and slowly killing majority of the coins if this continue the damage could be catastrophic. Sometimes it does not mean that the volume is zero the project can be declared dead, some of them shift on focusing development rather than trading volume at the moment. This is season of cleansing and only the geniune’s will be left.

And it's very good CMC removes dead coins. There is no point in the existence of coins that no one trades. They are useless and there is no need for them to be further listed, and removing them is the only reasonable decision.

There are even coins that are not in cmc dead.
very bad, coins don't have volume at all and I found it a lot in the forkdelta.
even I have it in my wallet.

a coin dead because there is no developments inside the coin or project my friend
and no trading activity on exchange,,
as i know cmc already remove few dead altcoins buddy

Yes, coins die because the developer no longer works to develop coins. We can see that this happened because it was difficult to get investors. With the condition of the main market prices being very collapsed, of course, it has a negative impact on all Altcoin.

The number of coins and tokens certainly makes anyone confused, investors continue to decrease while the coins continue to grow so as to make a lot of coins die, we must be good at choosing coins that have good prospects in the future so we don't lose.

CoinMarketCap does not care about coin death, the task of CoinMarketCap is to monitor the volume and provide information from existing coins, whereas if the coin is dead and there is no price movement then it is not a mistake of CoinMarketCap, you can ask the founder of the coin directly.

I completely agree with your opinion, but many users of cryptocurrency hope for objectivity cmc and in my opinion, the coinmarket team should constantly monitor coins that are still relevant in the cryptocurrency market.

in my opinion the coinmarketkap shows really topical coins and their development by price and capitalization. I think that this is the most important resource for all users of the cryptocurrency market.

You are right. every month various coins are promoted into the market. ICO is an important part of building investor confidence, but now investors prefer to create money rather than building a strong market.

They only provide information about the price changes or movement, but the deepest information that are most relevant will not be found in the site.
Coinmarketkap is one popular site because people loves to check the price constantly but they'll only see it's movement and not the reason behind,  coinmarketkap has a system to follow, they will add or remove coins if it within the criteria.

Dead coins usually have no volume and at this time we were able to see that weak coins won't survive longer.
Now, if you see a coins that still surviving now despite the bear, they are likely the coins that would give you a good profit in the future.

Dead coins are coins that can't be exchanged. If the blockchain is dead, the coin is dead. ERC20 tokens are more difficult to kill as they depend on the Ethereum blockchain.

Coins die because they don't get investors. In such conditions, there are so many dead coins and after being registered in the exchange market. This is certainly very worrying because Crypto fans are still very large. Teams and Developers must be active and focused on finding investors.

If Developers really serious about develop their project, investor will came easily. But in fact some project not really success in market. Even have investor and dev not really develop their project and look like leave their project, the token will not have volume in market and be dead coin.

I have a dead coin in my wallet, that's the result of a bounty, actually it's really a shame because it only becomes a display, so the coins die because the developer runs away without thinking about the investor's feelings, the developer leaves the project to cheat, once the funds are received run, cruel indeed

A little correction. between coins and tokens very different tokens do exist in etherdelta but coins cannot be exchanged etheredelta. and indeed today there are many tokens and coins that do not have volume on the exchange

You just said it yourself because that is what a dead coin and most of the dead coins was shitcoins made from ICO after the development team pump them and dump. Lots of these coins get listed on the market cap and yet no more investors because investors are afraid of losing their money so they just dump it then after the price plummet.

of course because if a coin is no longer developing it is likely that the coin will not last long or be attracted by investors and traders again. because the dead coin doesn't have a good value anymore

When project team member going to offline and when regularly there are no update publish about which project. All of the Investors and hunters day by day selling their asset and never buy again that's why one day trade voulme going to empty. Coinmarketcap fault is they didn’t remove dead coin but in the other hand crypto exchange remove dead coin from their listing.             

the elimination of coins from the exchange market which is considered CMC as an active reference is used as the decision maker to delete them, on the other hand, the clarity of project development is also an active determination, for example belugapay coins which are suddenly removed by CMC. but they are also imperfect and lose a lot of things from monitoring their list of coins. Dead coins have two essence where they also still have active volume and not.

Yeah when the development is no longer visible, the user community is small, marketcaps don't move, just waiting for the time until that coin dies. most of them are small coins. almost every month there are coins that are delisted and then dead

Small coins that are worthless and will eventually be removed, I also keep dead coins that have been abandoned by the developer, this is indeed very painful but there is nothing that can be done. Only as a display and become rubbed ashes.

Mostly this coins when listed trade for some time like pump and dump, when they have dumped all on market they just leave it. This type of projects are lot of them. That is why it is told that just sell the coins when ever you get profit and dont see how high it goes after that. Be satisfy with the profit you get.

if the team or idea is crap, the altcoin that were issued for that team will become a shitcoin sooner or later. there are so many groups that just starts an ico to collect money and scam people...

Because of the deep decline in the market, many coins and tokens are no longer able to survive in terms of price. they experienced a considerable decline and many even died because they did not have buy orders. and finally the project died

A coin is dead when there is no volume or theres no one trading it, and if the team abandoned the project and no sign that they will continue the project.

The main reason is the promotion and the implementation can development of a currency will be affect a coin and made it more weaker then only the reason for most of the current let be valuable in this market and it will be almost death condition

nothing any development from developer coin can make some altcoin are dead and other point can make altcoin dead is not have trading volume in market (if already listed on exchange), maybe CMC don't know or don't have more data about the coin, as you know CMC listing much coin in their database

I think what makes a coin active is through trading. If a coin has trading volume, it is seen as not dead because. This leads me to refute your point that no development isn't a factor to death of a coin. I only think if the coin is trading well on the exchanges, it will never die.

A coin that is only on one or two exchanges and gets delisted can dump huge. Saw this happen with coins binance delisted today.

I think it's much better if you sell before the coin is removed from the exchange, of course you can do something for prevention.
there is no need to save or keep the small coins that will die, better sell them when you still have the chance

No update about the project, team members and thier support not aswering questions , lack of communication between the team members and thier investors.

if there is a project like that, maybe their coins won't be on the market. even if they are already on the market and suddenly they disappear surely the coins will be discarded from their markets, because we ourselves know that now there are more exchanges, the more crypto assets, the easier they are listing in the market, but few of them are right true has good value and survives.

Developers may no longer be able to protect them because now investor interest has diminished. Sometimes developers deliberately leave because of course, they have other, more interesting projects to develop. The number of dead coins certainly has a negative impact. And for you before buying Altcoin it's better to check.

Delisting coin from exchange affect only its price. If developers are active, coin in any moment can be listed again, or they can find other exchange. Problem is, when coin is delisted through the developer's inactivity.

I believe that when a coin has no more trading volumes and no more development (no more updates, news on social channels...), a coin can actually be considered dead.

All these are process that lead to a coin being pronounced dead, no active nodes, no trading volume and no development and the ultimate that confirm a project dead is the delisting from exchanges. I just look at the prices of the coins to be delisted on Binance their prices are getting serious dumping

Once a coin get listed in Binance it gets hype and the price will rise, so the opposite thing is normal when it's delisted.
Bad coins are most likely to be dead in bearish times because they lack or no development so they cannot retain their investors and supporters.

There is a lot facror the cause to the coin to become dead . The developer also can cause why coin become dead because they leave the coin so the investor sell their coin because there is no one can upgrade and do something about the coin. People choice also if they want
to  become the coin as dead if they are sell their coin because if they sell all their coin it cause dumping price and final will dead.

as i know cryptocurrency without any trading volume and less market capitalizations in coinmarketcap site will be delisted too
and thats the truth buddy

There are 5 points that make a coin dead.
1. the coin is not listed on Coinmarketcap.
2. no news on social sites
3. no activity in telegram group
4. delisting from exchanges
5. no progress on github

Inactive social networks, inactive chats in telegram. Also the absence of updates and new news from the team. All this can say is that the coin is dead.

There are so many causes of coins to die, one of the main causes is from the developer, they cannot solve problems when there is a problem in the wallet. It can also happen because they sell developer coins and make the price of the coin drop dramatically, and the coin holders no longer believe in the developer,
why is CMC still listing the coin? maybe because before that the coin has entered the cmc database and the cmc database has not been updated.

of course there no volume in exchange or just some money game, you know dev make coin then sell on ico,
give pump for a while then disappear, and get money from that.
why still list on cmc? i dont really know, but if there is a coin that you want to release on CMC you have to pay, of course they will pay it,
to attract people's attention and it will look like a great project.

Great word

Well to me, what makes a coin dead is dependant on alot of factors.
1. A crypto might have excellent developers and yet it fails
2. It might not run away after ico and pumping but yet fail
3. It might even have great investors and still fail

what every crypto need is experienced and professional team. What actually determines the success of every crypto, is the team. Having an excellent team that helps market it well makes it survive. Also what are the qualification of these team. Sorry to say this but most cryptos when you look at the team behind such projects,you will be shocked to know that majority of them are scammers. Many do not have experience or haven't been involved in cryptocurrency administration before so they lack experience.Also some make it a family affair where their wife is the MD and kids managers with no viable team member with experience.

Low trading volume and probably the complete lack of news from the developers, created for the masses differently and not say.

I'll add some, lacks a function that can be used by everyone. This is what needs to be considered when choosing a coin to be chosen as an investment place or for those of you who want to make a project. Each devs must be able to find some innovations that are on the coin that they want to make, differentiating in the functions side with the coin which has existed maybe it would be better.

Coins are dead because there are no enthusiasts and the development team has left so that there will be no function, and will slowly come out of the CMC list.

for now there are so many dead projects and also due to the decline in the price of bitcoin which is enough to make the market experience a very high decline

I think as long as the coin still appears on an exchange or CMC continues to receive info of such coin from the exchange, it will be insignificant to delist it. Delisting from CMC I want to believe happens when no data is found about the particular coin or maybe we ask CMC for their reasons.

Which coin are listed in the couple of exchange there are no big dump for binance delisted though of course something effect for big exchange delisting. But if when it was only listed two or three exchange one of them binance than which coin going to big dumping and almost you can say it is dead coin. Because everyone try to selling when spreading delist announcement.                   

Majorly the owner of the coin creates not because it is the requirement of the people just because in short term they want to make quick money so they find out this way of ICO. They do not have any vision and does not have any path for next 3-5 years. Thus finally it will be dump largely and will be worthless.

coin dead,of course because no one need it,forgotten by time,also dev has quited their project. CMC still list these coin ?,like what btw ?
well,i just have speculation about why CMC still list that coins because its not really dead, i mean , maybe project seems suspended for while time.
or because these coin/token has been upgraded like from eth mainnet to coin a have own blockchain,or moving from eth mainnet to EOS mainnet.

Unfortunately this is true, that's why a lot of ICO has become a failure and this affects the people's confidence in investing.
I hope this things will be regulated so we will see full transparency from the team who are trying to run an ICO.

When a coin is listed on CoinMarkeCap, the condition of the coin still has a sale value and has not yet become zero. But I think now that the coin has become zero, it has slowly been removed. This indeed makes many people worry because many people hold coins with low trading volume.

They don't have a zero value but some of them has very low volume, and it looks like a dead coin too.
I can see a lot of coins that are still listed in coinmarketcap waiting to be remove but if they are good coins, there's still a chance that they will be listed again.

Dead coins are a big problem for the market. There's a continuous cycle. Even in very large projects, it can be fake. I need to be very careful. And the time to pay attention is the bull season.

I agree with your definition, the coin will be due to no active nodes, no trading volume, no development, and of course if you have this there will be no development of the coin, and if you ask why CMC is publishing the voin on its website, because the coin trading volume ever touching $ 10,000 is the main ingredient.

In my opinion,even though there is no trading volume on those dead coins but the reason CMC is still listing the coin is because there are people who still buy the token and keep it. But if bullrun really occurs , it is not impossible that the dead coin also increases.

Ill dont know about that on why the CMC still listing those coins that have no volume and development.
But sometimes in that case even if they are in the CMC and no volume it will be back again and make some moves to put some volume of the coins. So ill think they need some approval of the owner of those coins that have no volume right now.

in few case i think cmc already removing the dead coins,,
but sometimes cmc didn't doit maybe for some reason,, if you really want to know the reason just ask to cmc in telegram
just go here https://t.me/CoinMarketCap

If it's not remove, that still pass the criteria.
Actually CMC is not the only basis to determine if the coin is dead or not, we can use other sources and by looking at the trading volume
alone we will have our first impression then we can judge them.

What makes a coin dead for me is, no trade volume at all, 0 buyer on the exchange, listed coins only on dex exchange which is why the trade volume is low and else.

Listing coins on CMC is not that hard imo, you can listed your own coins in CMC if your coins meet all the criteria from coinmarketcap.

Firstly, listing on CMC nowadays is not that hard, they require at least listed on 2 famous exchanges. And yes that what makes a coin dead, no trading volume and no development but the main factor for this is when the team leaves the project.

absolutely right and dead coins are coins that the owner did not develop so they could lose their value too, so those who will buy the coins also don't exist

This situation has also happened to me. When tokens are distributed, they are not listed on exchange sites. All of these promises are fraudulent and populous, they banned the member on telegram and not update project information and go to the moon ads. Unfortunately and unlucky if you encounter this situation

many experienced such an event, they were the project founders who were not responsible for the price of the tokens that had been distributed so that there are now a lot of scattered garbage tokens.

The risks faced for this matter are indeed sad if the coin dies and does not function. Choosing is not easy, so avoiding junk coins is also difficult, but this is a risk. What is certain is that now we have to be able to get up and look for potential coins and there are already many coins in exchange and it's worth developing.

There are many coins which are gone dead after the ICO finished because of not in demand for the people while the bear market came. I know one is PGL which gave me more profit in the year of 2017 in the bull market. But, later the coin was delisted from the several almost all the exchanges and also from the CMC because of not more or less or even zero trading volume. Recently VZT is also going to be delisted from the Liquid exchange because of no trading volume at all.

There are some coins that has been the project or team being paused thats why they haveno activities but it doesn’t mean that they are dead.still listed in CoinMarketCap because maybe there are agreement between the dev and the cmc so we hve nothing to do with that if when they will delisting those coins,but about others well after those issues comes out about how CMC manipulate the volume of some coins then its for them to explain whats going on inside their site

I think a coin dies because of the small volume of the coin or the little trading activity on the coin, and for a long time the coin will be at the bottom of the CMC list, so the coin will die.

Volume that does not exist, request is also empty other than that the team cannot give him good hope so that the coin can die ... Many coins do not have volume and always decrease and CMC removes them from the list because they do not function at all.

That would end up to those coins that aren't even contributing good to the community, it definitely be delisted. Besides, what is the used of being listed in CMC since nobody have to after this shit coins. Giving a slot for new one much be better to consider rather than to be full of worthless coins.

I think when coins are not more developed by team and when coins have not more trading volume and people are not interested anymore on that coin and team abandon it.

The coin died because the developer released responsibility for the coin so that nothing could be developed from the coin.
CMC has a list of thousands of coins, it is difficult to delete them one by one because not all coins that have a small volume are dead coins, sometimes developers pause their coin development so it is necessary to approve the cmc party and developer

If this is indeed the case, this question certainly will not arise, because I see that the main point in this thread is the question about CMC that does not delete all coins that are considered dead, that means there are some coins that are considered dead but are still registered in CMC.

No need to forget this kind of benefits now have to feed Hope just need to feed us time.Your goal is always better.

Sure, the lack of demand and supply, and accordingly, the volume approaches to zero. In fact, this situation turns into fear and causes to loss.
There are certain reasons for the CMC, but they are probably not being unlisted afterwards.

When developers decide to quit on the project based on their internal affairs or lack of proper development roadmaps then am sure that coin is goiing to feel the effect Also i think coins die if there is low volume of trade for that coin and since there is low circulation few people know about the coin existence and therefore low usage

For me the only reason why I can say that it is a dead coin only if there are no development at all wherein devs abandoned it that there is no updates even on their social media accounts. These kind of coins will just be a pump and dump coins that if you are a long time holder for sure you will lose a lot.

As long as there is still value, it's still not dead.
There are some coins that will just pump and dump, and then it will become officially dead.
That's just normal in crypto, we cannot eliminate scammers here, therefore we have to be smart in choosing the coin to invest with.

The reason why they have dead coins or the coins from high to low and comes to end because the team will leave their own coin without noticing the investors of the coin.  Dead coins means also the project is not potential so the investors don't have any interest to invest to the coin and those people who are have already investment decide to invest they decided to sell to not making lose more money

Majority of the projects or coins you mentioned are just replicas of the open source code that is available and they are in to make money when they can and shut when they reach their target, make sure you understand the risk when you are investing in anything that is not listed in the top ten market cap.

If you are shelling out money then they will list, first they will shell out money to an exchange to list their coin and then it will be listed in CMC, money talks here.

What do you think about PACcoin. Is it able to rise or all ... loss of money? :'(

today there are more than 2150 coin in market.
in 3 year 2000 of them will be 0 value.
in last bear market we saw taht most of coin drop to 1% his value

And that's good for the market in general. We don't need that much and most of them aren't real projects anyway. Just projects of a few greedy people trying to make money out of other people's money. One good thing about the 2018 bear market is that it opened a lot of people's eyes to all the negative possibilities and that bitcoin isn't just a quick way to make money.

No nodes, I believe. If there still some nodes, the coin is alive. However, how trustable and reliable such a coin is ... it's a different question.

you already knew the definitions from a dead coin mate
as i knew coinmarketcap will remove it buddy, because a lot of tokens in my eth wallet didn't exist at coinmarketcap list  ;)

The coin is dead when it have very low volume of trading, very small community, and not listed in good exchanges, and in this case, it lose automatically its position in CMC because they require that the coin is listed minimum in 2 good exchanges.

if a Coin dies if likened to a human then he is lifeless, inactive, forgotten, only a name. So in my opinion, dead coins are coins that do not have market activity, not active developers / investors. and what is clearer is that no Exchange wants to accept. (Who wants to accept the corpse?)

of course no one wants to buy dead coins because have are no longer active and there are no developers, as we have seen to date so many coins die in the near future. some of the causes are because don't have volume on the market, are listed on bad exchanges and many other things. 1 additional point, only a fool would want accept or buy dead coins.

Having no development and no trading volumes will make the coins perish. unlike some of the other coins that have a low price if their trade volumes continue to grow, there will be a possibility for it to become alive for long but if the devs will not update their project then there will be a huge breakdown of the price. and possible the coin will be dead too.

Dead coins are those who aren't trading or no volume on such exchanges. No development on their project or any updates on their social channels. This dead coins are those coins who haven't survived the pull of the bear market and made their devs to get out.

Your tokens didn't listed on CMC because of other reason. Mostly it's because your tokens haven't listed in at least 2 exchanges to able listed on CMC or it still need other requirement to listed on CMC. It's rarely for CMC removed any token just because it's not active or no any development

I guess first when registering at CMC, this project manipulates sales charts. Perhaps many people have talked that many projects are trying to manipulate the sales charts, so they can enter the CMC. However, once this project can enter in the CMC, the Dev is no longer developing this project. Because it is true that the project is not able to compete with the others, eventually the coin becomes dead.

Stellar xrp zcash

They do have that listing criteria https://coinmarketcap.com/methodology/#listings-criteria
and as said CMC do barely remove up these dead coins if we try to look up on the https://coinmarketcap.com/all/views/all/ it do have
2300+ listed and on the bottom are already considered shitcoins.

Moreover, we have thousands of altcoins in the market and I am not sure that coinmarketcap will have the tools to always monitor some of these dead coins, except maybe they get hints through post like this one, I also assume that coinmarketcap is trying to act as a data collation company and if you talk of those companies, they should be able to provide information on even dead coins at any time in future no matter how long, and not only dead coin, and also on all the projects that we have in the market.

I am just thinking in this direction of yours too of what could make those project still remain in cmc, and I think that you have a very valid and reasonable point there also on those coins having fake volume, but it means we have some top coins too that are not supposed to be where they are.

Considering the issue CoinMarketCap has this past months regarding to fake volumes maybe there’s a chance that those deadcoins are being used as well
Well there are couple of currency that just being del8t from CMC this year and I believe that there are others to come as well,and yes Appealing to the management about the currencies that don’t progressed almost dead is a good move to delist some of them

Dead coins have no volume, prices and orders on the market. one of the things that makes it that way is that there are no active developers, willing Miners, and enthusiastic communities. so the coin is silent and does not work. CMC still has a stock of data> 3000 coins. very much. some people make CMC as a reference so maybe that's the reason.

CMC has delisted a lot of coins with no volume anymore, therefore we cannot find majority of the coins in CMC if we will look for the dead coins.
Dead coins does not necessarily they are dead actually, they just lost their volume but as long as they are in exchanges, they can still rise up when the altcoins started to have its own rally.

It's an advantage if such coin has a decentralized exchange as it will be traded right away without any fear that it will be delisted in centralized exchange.
Every coin aimed to have liquidity but with the strong competition in the market, they need to stay competitive to survive, unfortunately, not all of them has the capability to compete, especially at the times where altcoins are not so appreciated.

Most of the people are kept tracking the coins through CMC only because it is good to check what are the exact volumes generating by those coins. If a coin is not generating any volumes then it is a very good indication that we don't see any active developments from the company and moreover community is not showing any interest in those coins.
