For those who knew and though otherwise and for those who never knew, we have few Corona coins amongst us today and ain't just one, until now there are 3 known Coronavirus coins that I am aware of and here is the list

1. CORONA (CORONA)
2. CoronaCoin (NCOV)
3. Coronavirus Token (CNV)

None of these coins makes any sense to me and they are just another plot to scam those who knew nothing, if you have more you can drop I'ma will be glad to upgrade the list

I see it they make many thread here. Actually there are one who have thier own blockchain use also the name of corona not only those tokens that you list.


There are no sense creating it other than earning from what situation we have now. There is no help they can do to those country who have problem with this deases they are only using that name for thier own greed to have profit.

These all coins are effecting bad impact in the crypto industry. I feel shame that some scammers are creating this coin to steal people's money and to make fun of people's death! Seriously? So, I don't think we should upgrade the list, rather stop talking about these nonsense, mate!

What are the benefits of a token with a virus name? if I were the developer of a project, I would not take the name. however, it's the same as making use of circumstances. I prefer another name with the concept of health than the name of the virus with the concept of health.

None of them really make sense at all, how can someone take advantage of the pandemic?

And who are in the right frame of their mind are going to invest on it? Maybe there are few people who are going to ride on this hype to be a pump-and-dump coin and then exited when they make money from those unsuspecting victims. I do hope that common sense will prevail so that no one will fall for this gimmick from this spineless scammers.

@Free1bitco.in - well they can say that the money will be donated to the victims of the pandemic, but I highly doubt that they are going to do it.

These coins are meant to be a pump and dump coins, they just want to generate attention so these developers created this kind of coins, wait when this epidemic is over and you will all see that it will be counted as one of the many thousands of shitcoins in the market, investors are wiser now, but if they still invest, then it's their choice if they are not doing research.

i don't know how they will interpret the current situation to the project they created, except they intend to use this project as a tool to gathering data regarding the covid-19 case and presenting this raw data through blockchain, i really don't get why suddenly we have different corona project around, what do they intend to achieve with this project? how will this benefit anyone with the current situation,
sometimes people just create crap just for the fun of it.

This makes me kinda sick, it's like the developers responsible for creating these Corona coins want the disease to be a permanent case, I don't see any reason why one won't turn away when they see such project

Definitely just another shit coins in the market, I don't think the developer of this token has any intention in making the token for sure it would be just another scam token or ICO.

Looks like sound kind of Jesus coin just whatever it is it was just going to be a dead token in the future, there are already thousands or maybe millions of altcoins in the market somehow I think only legitimate or big companies are going to be able to execute great altcoins. Still, just consider what happened to Libra which is handled by Facebook that is failed.

It's definitely more than three ;D go on Twitter you will see some more stupid Corona tokens on there, what surprise me is how people are falling for these cheap scam tricks, no wonder we keep getting more and more scammers

Many methods are used to seek the benefits of the actual situation. I myself do not know the exact purpose of them making this coin. if the purpose of the results they get from selling these coins is to help corona patients, for me it is a good idea. and vice versa if only to take advantage of this situation, it is certainly unfortunate.

Like is this for real, I earlier read where people were discussing about it but I thought it was all a joke, what would be the essence of such coin that brings sadness to one's memory,to make newbies buy it or just for the fun of it? I really don't get,I hope once the cure is gotten this coin will be forgotten for ever. Shit coin.

I don't see any coins with this name. Can you please share the link for the same.?  ???

Moreover, there is only one thing which calls for spam and Ponzi stuff as stated by other members here.

Over the period I have seen such projects coming up as and when there have been some hot news going on around us (e.g. Corona right now). So it's but obvious we should straight away ignore anything with this name.

(I still need link).

Absolutely they are spreading their trap on the internet to steal people's money by taking the advantage of Corona trending news. No value of these projects I think. They are just shilling. we should aware of it. Just try to ignore it when you will see this type of the name of projects.

Whatever the purpose of these coins is, I think they are embarrassing. Taking advantage of everyone's fear of plague is a condemnable act.

People should be smart enough to determine that it was a method by the fraudster to exploit their funds and assets. We should be aware that fraudsters will do anything to catch your attention, such as relating the coins with the virus. It is the reason why we need to think carefully because greedy people are always looking for a chance to trick others, especially those who get easily swayed by words and promises.

This is hype game. It is the rave of the moment and people are now catching into it as if they can do any help. The point is corona virus is a big issue in human society today and we don't need to make a joke out of it for now at least until we are safe again.

Though it's bad but I'm impressed, the vaccine is not detected yet and the world bleeds for one that's why this is an opportunity for scammers, all we need to do is to keep making newbies realize this scam acts, I wish scammers can have a change of heart and start helping those in real need instead

It's not even a game and those who have made the scam tokens that used corona as the name of the tokens are lack of humanity and morality. I heard that some coins were also wanna try using the death from the people caused by the corona virus to determine how much deflation percentage that will be taken to make the token less and less. This such a garbage coin.

Only the bullshit they are doing might be exploited in this situation so I don't believe anything with that coin even though their concept seems to attract an inappropriate name on the coin in many people fighting this corona virus.

So we need to avoid projects like this because there is no point in following through, I think if this corona virus can be overcome then their project will also end.

everyone should know already these tokens has nothing to offer and they are short term projects. they are been designed by scammers that has free access to exchanges to get peoples money. it is a shame that exchanges allowed such projects to trade on their platform when the world is in a pandemic crisis. the whole point is, these products will not last long in the market and exchanges will be fast to delist them when due. save your money from fast scammers.

The annoying thing will be some exchanges trying to list them knowing quite well that these coins are shitty. No doubt, some people will fall for these shitcoins and buy them, especially the noobs in this industry. The knowledgeable among us should keep sounding the warning bell to keep others safe. I for one will encourage everyone to withdraw their assets from any exchange that lists these Corona shit projects.

They are shit coins created by scammers just like the hyper-deflamatory coins like Bomb, nuke and others they are all gone under the bridge now and investors have loss their fund. Some persons in a crypto group pressured me to trade those guys for them even though I warned the, against it, they said everything was a risk. That wasted money should have been donated to charity.

I deeply feel for and pity anybody that will try to put in their money into these coins. Scammers are taking advantage of the recent crisis to take from the greedy ones. Yes, I call them greedy because I don't see any sensible investor, that knows what it takes to make profit rightly, investing in such coins.

Either of good or false intention, these are types of token that neutrally an investor or potential investor should flee from.
Taking advantage of a pandemic to create a token is not the most ideal of projects why ? because the pandemic will only last for a while. what then happens to the project when all is well and the lands are healed ?

Investors or even newbies learning, should understand this basically.
Do your own research, and don't forget to stay safe.

Scammers are always looking at opportunity to do their business of scamming. This is unfortunate that even in this hard time, some group of people are busy in their closet, conniving on how to scam others of their money. They see every thing like this as an opportunity. They see scamming as business so we have to protect our selves.

In addition to what the OP has listed - I don't know if we are talking the same projects here but the OP didn't give their corresponding links.

This is obvious attempt to gain money from gullible users. Most of them have the front of donating some of their funds to NGOs. Are you going to believe such stunt if they are anonymous? so please be careful on jumping in any one of them, even if you want to trade. they are not meant to last.

This is the sad reality of life. It stands that in the face of a grim situation as this pandemic, idiots still have the orgasmic pleasure of profiting from the misfortune of others. The thunder that will strike them is still having a rehearsal. Soon, they will meet with their waterloo.

Scammers are always awake and active looking for any opportunity to strike and now they have it.
They aren't taking over anything but just showcasing their scamming motives. How can someone sit down and come up with such projects when knowing fully well people have a lot to deal with now thus adding more salt to injury. People should be wise and not let scammers feed on them during this hard times because clearly they have nothing to offer which will aid other than to steal. Everyone should follow the precautions given by the health institution as that is a good way to start.

Just another dummy, but unlike most others, in this situation, people also act quite cynically, calling cryptocurrencies such names. The only excuse for such coins is if the money will be directed to charity and assistance in the fight against coronavirus.

it will all just become hype in the midst of this vigorous corona virus. but if the corona virus ends then this coin will end. after all the concept of this coin is a donation for victims of corona and also for anticipation of the spread and I think it is less effective. because for donations, there are still many coins that can be used like bitcoin or etherum.

Very useful, and I also know only 3, because I do not like corona coins so I do not search for other information about them, anyways I also do not like to spend my time on things that are not as important as corona coins, because they are true completely unclear origin.

This kind of coin/token will be end up in scam/shitcoin. Although the coins have been traded by most people I'll bet that this thing will take for a while.

After corona virus has gone away and there is no one who infected again then you will see what will happen to this coin, those coin aren't safe to store our money.

What? there are many corona coins? lol.. scammers are really taking advantage this situation. I hope people will not fall for these coins because it will turn to scam someday, will not survive for long.

Do not worry, friend, because at this time investors are very smart in investing and in choosing projects, corona coins will obviously not be liked by any investor and they will not make any progress by themselves.

So look at this articl guys

https://www.cryptonewsz.com/a-detailed-analysis-of-coronacoin-and-its-role-in-battling-coronavirus/

It might be the best to just ignore those coins. The developers of those coins doesn't have a sense of sympathy of what the world is experiencing right now.
Those coins are obviously made as a joke and I don't know what's in their mind that pushed them to make these coins.

They are trying various ways for that. The scammer has already exist since crypto was created with a bunch of crap coins have already created. Just try to make sure to put any new coin which doesn't make sense into the list of coin that created by scammer. We don't know about what the fundamental behind this coin and we must always be careful with it.

If we understand it, actually Coronacoin has been designed for the good purpose of bridging the gap between rescuers and sufferers by channeling monetary resources, aid medicines, equipment, and items needed during this pandemic, hopefully these coins can become coins that can really useful in accordance with its objectives and has a value that can benefit investors.

I think this will make the crypto-world players not interested in the name of the coin and certainly no fan with the coin, let alone the name is now a problem all over the world and very deadly so this will be Their own barrier for the coin to thrive in the future.

It looks like someone trying to prank everyone. When this epidemic make a serious blow to the world someone tries to make fun or making business through it! I think these guys are the real virus to the community and these types of people need to be removed from society first. I saw a token named ZukarBurg and its logo even contain zukarBarg images. It's even listed in an exchange. Some people think the crypto world is a place to make fun!

and that is one of the criteria for fraud or by utilizing the current situation to commit fraud through a project in the name of CoronaVirus, which is currently being crowded in the world. for new and old investors, it is important to always be vigilant before investing in crypto. There are various ways fraudsters take action. be careful friend.

Any tokens created that involves coronavirus does not make sense, It is very easy to create a token either on ethereum or other platforms except Binance chain that requires 500 BNB just to issue a token. If you found another one just ignore it or report it. If these tokens are on ethereum network you can report them here: https://etherscan.io/contactus and select Report a phishing/scam address to be tag by etherscan.

This is a very serious issue and not something to be taken slightly, who ever created those coins are not making fun of it, they are asking people to make donations to an address on Twitter for those who are affected by the deadly disease

These coins are as stupid as it can get, i have seen similar coins during US elections like Trump coin or Hillary coin etc but basically these are useless coins that attract newbies and people who do not research, out of hype people buy these coins hoping for quick 100x but the fact is that scammers sell you their useless coins and then dump them all robbing you of your money so do not buy any of such coins ever.

for me personally it was a strange project and didn't make sense either. I found nothing about the clarity of their project work maps, the background of the project team & developers etc., for me personally, it is very clear that such a project is a fraud project especially looking at the current serious problem that is booming about CoronaVirus, and they have used the name it's as a new trick to lure its victims.

It is just sad that even with the situation like this there are still those kinds of people who are taking advantage of the situation we have with Coronavirus. Those coins are obviously just taking attention from the crowd saying that their project aims to provide benefits for those who are affected which is totally not because even the World Health Organization is still working into process on discovering the cure for the virus. Those coins is not helping and it does not make sense because the aim is just to get profit from the people who will get easily attracted on it. So we must always be careful not to trust newly sprout projects that aims to resolve a current situation like Coronavirus because it is most likely a scheme that aims to scam everyone. Be careful not to fall from this so no one will not be victimized by those people who is taking advantage of the situation.

And they have anonymous teams so if their intentions are authentic they will disclose their team. Just another get-rich-quick scheme where naive users are probably their targets here. So stay away as far as possible from these projects. They will grab money from crypto users who think that they can gain from it. But it is the other way around. Their main purpose is how to extract money from possible users that will jump on their project.

Don't update this list, this way scammer people's work will split among us. This people are worthless, stupid and insignificant. This project has no purpose to support cryptocurrency. Even if project plans is good, I think they have to change the project name. Now or later investor will hate this coin then become shitcoin.

Each time i see shit coins like these in the market i can't avoid thinking about that 2015 video...

Shocking interview! - In the mind of an altcoin developer

Have fun...

If we are not creating this list and the newbies will not aware of this. I prefer to create a list like this rather than give direct awareness consider about when you are writing on the announcement thread that has already created by a scammer and the scammer can avoid it and create a new token. I hope that everyone will not try to buy any suspicious token without asked the community about this.

They are just riding with the popularities of this virus and surely there's none to expect from those developers, avoid investing or supporting if you don't know how to play with such kinds of projects.
Investment with higher risk factors though there are still people who are riding and trying to get some benefits but only those who are aware with consequences.

To put it bluntly, these are just shitcoins.
Scammers and leechers usually take the current world events into account when creating shitcoins and the Covid-19 pandemic problem is one of them.
These scammers will do everything to siphon every penny out of anybody. Better to stay away from these shitcoins 'cause holding any of it in your wallet wouldn't do you any good.
BTW OP, maybe it's best if you compile the list and put a big warning above it that says not to invest in any of it. This way those who are too lazy to dig deeper on these shitcoins will be warned. But then again, I doubt if anybody is actually gonna bit a piece of this shitcoins (unless of course, they are dumb enough to do so)

they use the current situation to take fomo because corona is trending.
if indeed the project has a good roadmap I think it will be additional to buy their coins.
but if you only take advantage of the moment then it only becomes a pump and a dump.
even then if someone buys and can list on the market.

Nothing new here, these are just some set of scammers taking advantage of the hype of the virus to create worthless tokens that will be listed on worthless exchange (exchange that there only reason behind joining the industry is to profit from new token listing charges and withdrawer fees without having the interest of the community at heart). When you see exchanges with genuine intentions to provide quality service and bring out better exchanging service in the industry you won't think twice before you'll recognize such exchanges like the likes of Binance and other quality ones out there.

I won't be surprise if all coins are linked to the same scammers. During the time of the gold back cryptocurrency hype we saw cases where same group of scammer were responsible for several scam projects. Same observations was recorded during lending coins scam period too. We just have to be cautious and avoid all these worthless projects popping up every now and then, only then will our experience in the industry become a profitable one.

Well, im just know this corona tokens  ;D Exist. Using a virus to gain attention of people. Im pretty sure this project is just a fraud project. Im really shocked there is few people used this covid-19 as an oppurtunity to scam people.

I think that if the result has become the opposite thing that people are worried about the existence of this crap coins. We can see that based on the name of coins and this coins have already made based on the hype. It's the same as when we were seeing so many fork coins in the past.

Its strange that people are happy to name their coins on the deadly disease and virus. Do you know if any of these coins is listed on any exchange or people just created these coins for fun. After all it takes less than a dollar and few mins to develop a ERC20 token.

None of this coins makes any sense, coronavirus virus is an epidemic disease that threatens the whole world, i see no reason while anyone would name a cryptocurrency over it. The entire world is hopeful and wishful that the pandemic will get cured as soon as possible,if this happens what will be the fate of these cryptocurrencies?

If you wanna create a project that will help solve the pandemic related problems, why not opt in for a medical and healthcare related usecase and name? The emergence of projects such as this is why the outside world see the entire cryptocurrency market as some sort of joke where everyone do what they like to scam others.

I've checked and surprised that these Corona virus based coins are already in the market, they got volume because they are using a decentralized exchange, these three are on the race on who will get adopted more as the symbol of the epidemic Corona Virus but I will not going to support any of these three coins.

the name was popular because of a disaster known to many people. it will not be good for a company name and it will become visible only to take advantage of time and there will be no future developments. it will only be a joke.

Lolz I have come across these Coronavirus coins and some of them claim that they are just for good purposes. I don’t understand what they mean by that, they are just doing business with the situation at hand and claiming that they are doing it for good. It is not a platform for donation and none of the money that are invested there goes in any way to support victims of Coronavirus, so these people are just fools that are looking for those that will fall for their foolish scam. So, dumb. People are always looking for opportunity to make with just anything.

It's a planned and program disease by a group of people in other to carry out their selfish mission that will in return run down the world economy while they become stronger economically
