One thing, do you mind in showing the team that manages this project from behind? If you think this is a great project, then should have "openly" and transparent with the people who will be their investors. On the roadmap, I saw several marketing campaigns, it was really good, it's indeed should be like that, so it was very obvious that wanted to reach more people every day.

Thank you for the response. We are just a small team right now composed of 5 skilled developers, but we have a great vision for the project. We decided to remain anonymous but this doesn't mean we are scammers. As stated on the FAQ section on our website:


We are definitely not like those huge projects who are trying to sell a 'too good to be true product'. They even have a highly decorated team complete with LinkedIn profiles, but surprisingly everything turned out to be just an elaborate scam. Or in the end, they simply abandoned the project because they couldn't deliver their highly ambitious 'too good to be true product.'

PubeCoin's goal is very simple and totally attainable thanks to our unique and viral brand. What we offer is a familiar concept primed for mass adoption, specifically aimed at mainstream social media users. Yes, marketing is a huge part of our strategy on user acquisition. We believe viral marketing is very important to achieve PubeCoin's goals. We expect to compete and surpass the likes of Dogecoin.

I'm sorry, but aren't your project itself can be considered as "too good to be true" if we refer to your own statement that "the concept of using pubes as a currency was already known for mankind for centuries" which nicely sat next to the dialog bubble of "awesome! Glad to hear it's possible now"? Were you contradicting yourself?

I'd also like to know the source of statements (certainly it is academic based research, right?) that the concept of using pubes (which I am sure the pubes here are referring to human genitalia hair, from the innuendos thrown here and there across the opening post) were known for centuries as human's desire to be able to pay something with.

I think your link is not working properly, it says error there. how can you say this is not a jokes or a scam, if you are not accompanying team members in the whitepapper and your website is not functioning properly either.

I was referring to the humorous desire of 'paying with pubes' instead of cash which is surprisingly present in every culture. The concept of our project is simple and definitely NOT too good to be true compared to other projects you probably invested yourself in the past, promising to create a 'cutting edge product' or the 'next generation something' yet they failed to deliver and the project itself dwindled to nothing. What we offer is not a state-of-the-art product but a simple concept, that with the right viral marketing strategies, will gain popularity and recognition through the mainstream users. Think about Dogecoin, how a meme/parody project suddenly spread like wildfire in social media.

The website is actually working just fine. The concept of PubeCoin might sound like a joke but this is serious than any meme coin out there. And like I said, we have valid reasons why we choose to be anonymous and that doesn't mean the project is automatically a scam. I can name a bunch of big projects who appears 100% legit because of their 'highly decorated team' complete with LinkedIn profiles, yet they turned out to be a scam.

I completely understand your doubts. But I tell you, we are just a small team, a couple of us are actively involved in popular projects and we are more than capable to accomplish our roadmap. Nothing will make us more satisfied than to watch people pay with PUBE one day.

Do you think you can imitate the path of doge? Not all projects can actually follow its footsteps. What do you think will be your major technique here to spread the usage of your coin? What is your advantage that will make people be comfortable using your coin as payment method?

I don't know what to think of this project, but the name and the concept you've chosen is simply disgusting.

So you're saying this isn't a joke coin? OK, fine. But then, what did you want to achieve by choosing such a name?
I'm not sure where you got the idea that 'paying with pubes' is a universal concept, but it's simply not true.

We are not going to imitate Doge. PubeCoin has a different identity and concept. However, we are confident that we might even surpassed Dogecoin. Our main strategy in user acquisition is marketing/advertising. That's where 30% of the funds will be allocated. We will utilize various viral marketing strategies on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and Tiktok. We will also leverage the spectacular reach of influencers on the mentioned social media platforms in order to introduce PubeCoin and to attract these massive numbers of mainstream mobile users into PubeCoin's ecosystem. We are positive that the concept of PubeCoin will appeal to these audience, especially to the younger generation. Simply because it has a ring to it, kind of amusing or fun, and these target audience are always ripe to try something new and "trending" no matter how outrageous the idea as long as everybody's into it.

Our main advantage, of course, is the limited supply and the entertaining concept itself. Once we successfully tap the social media users, the demand for the token will theoretically increase and in turn establish its value as a medium of exchange.

Saying the concept is disgusting would be subjective. It's not like the token itself is backed by real pubic hairs, no of course not lol. We are just digitizing the concept to make it real and entertaining. In case you're not aware, people actually had this humorous wish to pay with pubes when they have no money or they can't afford to pay for something. So, if you're born from a well-off family, you might not be familiar with this.

All I'm saying is that this is not a joke or a scam. You can categorize this as a meme cryptocurrency but definitely not a joke. This is a serious project with simple and attainable goals.

What do we want to achieve by using such name? We envision a digital currency that is amusing and entertaining to use in daily transactions. Using a name or concept that is relatable and familiar to the majority. A brand so ridiculous it will catch everyone's attention and turn curious users into coin adopters. Imagine how fun/amusing it will be listening to people as they pay with PUBEs.

Pre sale of PubeCoin is active right now as I understand and you can get 40% bonus. How long the pre sale will go?

And your goal is to be a financial transaction and payment system that's adapted by massive community as well as business entity? I will have to seriously ask, do you prefer people to label your entire product as childish, naive and thoughtless, lacking of long term sight, or simply lacking of manner? I can only think about those three possible category, as the fourth one will be the serious accusation of narrowminded scam attempt.

You want to be adapted by business entities for financial transactions, and worldwide community (that, as you said, surpassed doge)  as payment system, yet your name bear the very obvious case of NSFW? Please tell me you've think about this thoroughly when deciding to be a project that is "not a joke or scam" and adapted by massive community.

It is true, not all projects that have a team or CEO, even the annonymous ones, are scam. but how can investors trust your project? how can they set aside some of the money to invest in this project?

it doesn't matter if you start from a small team. That's a good start, but team member transparency is a promising start to potential investors

We have reasons why we preferred to be anonymous, and scamming people isn't one of them. I understand that this might scare away potential investors. But just take a look at the project as a whole. How is this a scam? We have simple and reachable goals. We have a solid concept, comical but appealing to the younger generations who love memes. We have feasible marketing strategies. Our target market is broad and ripe for adoption which primarily consists of active social media users. Once our brand goes viral and attracts media attention, no matter how ridiculous PubeCoin sounds, users will definitely flood into our ecosystem.

Perhaps if you answered to my post, we'll be able to see how looking at this project as a whole shows how likely it is to be a scam, rug-pull, or (at the very least) short lived. Because I am quite sure my post covers some of the concern nicely, without even having to brings the anonymity to the center of the stage

Sorry, I didn't notice your previous question. I will write my response below.



Yes, that's the goal, to be used in financial transactions e.g. payments and remittances. And yes, we carefully thought this out. Since 2013, I've waited everyday for anyone to start a cryptocurrency project using the word 'pube'. Turns out, no one was brave or crazy enough to make this a reality. For sure, one of the reasons are those things you mentioned like the fears of being rejected and labelled childish, naive, offensive, vulgar, or indecent. But, in case you forgot, we live in a different times, people are now more open minded. Especially the younger generations who seems to love the craziest and wildest ideas especially in social media.

I'm aware that your primary concern is "How can businesses, such as Amazon, accept an obscene coin called PubeCoin?" Of course, at the moment the answer is no. But we will start with the small businesses, just like when cryptocurrencies started. Did all big businesses immediately accept crypto as payments? They did not. They only started to accept crypto payments when they noticed more and more people are using it.

So, to answer your question. Did we carefully thought this out? Yes. Our strategy is to continuously attract users into the ecosystem, hence we will be tapping the massive social media market through various marketing strategies. Once PubeCoin is recognized as a medium of exchange, small businesses and sellers can start integrating PubeCoin into their business. PubeCoin payments will also offer on-demand token swap, which is very important to enable PubeCoin holders to still pay with PUBEs even if the seller only accepts a particular crypto. We strongly believe though that once we have a massive number of users in our ecosystem, business integration opportunities will eventually turn to PubeCoin's favor. I hope you see the huge potential of this project and why there's a need for us to withheld our identities.

Lastly, if I may add, what matters about money is not what it looks or sounds like, or even what it’s backed by, but whether people believe in it enough to use it.

Or maybe those people out there are just bright, non-ignorant, and visionary enough to see that the name will limit their project from expanding. Who knows, maybe LEND (former name of AAVE) once thought, "hey let's call our project PUBE, so people can say I lend you my PUBE. Ahahaha." but then they sat and think, "well, we're grown up enough to understand how childish and future-less is a PUBE. It can't grow simply because it's name is non acceptable. Let's use LEND"

Let's indulge on your scenario for a minute, that you aimed to achieve mass adoption starting from small business that will (arguably) accept a token with such obscene name, and you managed to convince some to adapt. And then what? You're sure that because some emo shop in small town accept PUBE as a payment method, amazon and other big companies will then close their eyes on the name, turn their back on their company policies of safe content, defying the worldwide norm of manner, and integrate your project into their payment method?

Like I said, that would be subjective. Here's a very good example, that Prasaga project you are desperately trying to promote in your signature. I bet you're hoping that the more you bash other projects, the more people will notice your signature and will immediately jump right into it. How's that going for you? Any success so far?

Do you think the name Prasaga already guarantees a 100% bright future just because it sounds wholesome? Do you believe the name Prasaga alone is already destined for great things because it doesn't sound obscene? Do you really think people and businesses will surely adopt it because of its 'decent' name? Nah, you're completely mistaken and obviously sounds like a noob. Tell you what, boring names are easily forgotten, especially if it sounds like an Indian cow dung. If we're both talking face to face and you tell me about your project. Chances are, I'll probably ask you "what's it called again, was it Namaste? And I'm kinda confused about what's it trying to achieve because it's not connected to the name."

Unlike PubeCoin, the name is so catchy it's easily carved into memory. I bet ever since you heard the name, its starts popping on your mind out of nowhere like a last song syndrome. Even in your sleep, your brain screams PubeCoin! PubeCoin! PubeCoin! Hence, the first thing you do upon logging in is check the PubeCoin thread. See? Even if the name sounds childish/outrageous, the brand is memorable and leaves a 'lasting' impression. The name alone already explains what it is trying to promote or achieve, and that's just one of our many advantage.

Lol please, don't flatter yourself. This forum has this feature called "new replies to your post" that very handy to track projects we watched. And honestly, your project didn't even stay on my mind after I close my browser. Sorry to burst your bubble, snowflake.

But yes, I remember every project name that I watched and put attention to, at least until they're proven to be a worthless project, then I put them away from my mind. In business field, forgetting one's name is usually seen as not professional, because it imply you didn't see the other party as significant or important enough that deserve some place in your memory, no matter how briefly. And the fact that you admitted you're very likely will forget names that you deem not catchy enough... well, what should we conclude from this? May I point out to everyone again that you plan to be integrated widely into business?

Still in topic about name, though, I am well aware that throughout your lengthy post, with some self-confession and questionable choice of words, you still failed to explain what steps will you use to convince big corporation and multination companies to turn their back against norm and business ethic by using your obscene name into their system.

"The concept of 'paying with pubes' is familiar in any culture, which gives PubeCoin a greater chance at mass adoption" - what???

Kindly read the rest of the thread. :)

I believe you intentionally misspelled the name of prasaga to fish some reaction, because it is actually very easy and take less than five seconds to confirm before you type them. If I may give an advice: stop. You just make yourself looks more and more foolish and childish, and it shows more and more of how bad the quality of the human resources that run this project. And if you say the otherwise, that you're unintentionally misspelled them, well... again, it only took less than 5 seconds to confirm the name, this very fact speaks volume of your quality.

Now, continuing the matter as if that misspelling didn't occur, may we conclude that your strategy for those big company penetration is "I'll cross the bridge when I'm there"? Means you don't have any plan right now and you prefer to wait and see?

One other thing I'd like to point out, though, you keep saying how unique you are, how breakthrough your idea is, that you'll have a massive userbase, and that it'll be accepted widely, goes viral, etc. Yet your website (that you've conveniently quoted for us) said


So which one is it? You believe your idea is breakthrough and will be accepted widely or is it too controversial that you have to remain anonymous? Ahh... contradiction, you must be loving them so much.

If indeed that is the ideology that you apply it doesn't really matter, I think you should be trusted in other fields if you can't be trusted in your identity. indeed what is more important is not who you are but what you do, but the question here is who can guarantee in the future if there is no identity? You know what I mean, for 1 or 2 years a project runs smoothly and gets the trust of investors. after that who will be responsible if the project scam? because there is no identity.

I will not waste my time and effort to confirm if I spelled your project correctly because it's unimportant on this thread. Besides, you should've picked a better name, one that is 'easily memorable and leaves a lasting impression.' So please kindly refrain from hijacking this thread to promote your project.


The success of our project does not rely on 'big company penetration'. Using that logic of yours, you're saying your project will be a failure if you won't get Amazon or Facebook's thumbs up? Ask yourself, does that even make any sense?

Like I already mentioned for the nth time [which you intentionally ignores for obvious reasons]. We have a PLAN, our plan is focused on "user acquisition through various viral marketing campaigns". Meaning, we will attract users by penetrating the massive population of social media. This is achievable because our brand already carries the potential to go viral as the next 'meme'. We will build our user base and establish PubeCoin as a medium of exchange, as a p2p payment system. For those business who wants to accept PUBE as payments, they can seamlessly integrate it. For those who won't, it's not a problem at all. So stop judging our project based on that nonsense. Maybe you have no idea what peer to peer means?


Seriously, you are no longer making any sense. PubeCoin will amass a massive user base no matter how outrageous the name, given the right viral marketing campaign. It will be disruptive and we expect controversies along with it because of its name alone. That's why we choose to be anonymous. Not because we are embarrassed to be associated with the brand or we plan to scam people. But because we are fully aware of the potential of this project. We simply don't want the complications and unwanted attentions of being in the spotlight once our project succeed. Same reasons why Satoshi kept his/her/their identity hidden. We want to establish an amusing cryptocurrency and build an entire community around it. Without a figurehead or names, the entire focus will be on the project alone.

As stated on our roadmap, the first 2 years will be focused on marketing, community building, and development. After that, we will hand-over the project to PubeCoin foundation that will be established, along with the 7% foundation tokens that are currently frozen for 2 years in the smart-contract. You can verify this on our smart-contract.

Everything will be open source to encourage community involvement and innovations. Of course, the founders will remain as the core developers and contributors to the project. Also, a governance protocol will be put in place to ensure that PubeCoin will continue to thrive in the future and will truly become a community-driven cryptocurrency.

Hijacking? Me? Pfffttt... read your entire thread and you'll see you're the one who brings and mention it in the first place. Please, don't point with dirty fingers, learn to own and admit your mistake, it's part of business ethic, adulthood and manner.

I'd actually like to press further about how exactly you attain mass adoption and massive userbase if all that you targeted are micro and small industries, that's very likely on a focused consumer category, and limited only to them, without larger scale companies, but seeing your quality so far, I think we're kinda beating the dead horse here. People are smart enough to see how bleak the future if this project is and continue on pressing will just bump a thread that's better be drowned by other and better projects.

I already explained but it seems this is beyond your comprehension. I'm starting to doubt your intentions in criticizing our project. I already answered your questions and yet you intentionally ignores them in order to push your personal agenda. Which is obviously to flood this thread with your posts and signature, perhaps hoping to attract more users into your project. How pathetic. Blowing out someone else's candle won't make yours shine any brighter. Have a nice day and keep safe.

after that far will the team members remain anonymous? well, structurally and the system design is very good I have to say that. we'll see in the future, whether all of that will be compatible.

The founders will remain anonymous but the rest including the foundation will be public.

okay, here I started to find a bright spot of my question. The last question, is the foundation responsible if there are problems in the future? considering the anonymous founder would not be expected in this moment.

Yes, after the turnover the foundation will provide support to the project and will handle any problems in the future.

Hello,

the Pubecoin was still a tradeable token on major exchanges but it's no longer the case since last days i.e. I can't swap it for anything on METAMASK, there are no quotes.

I have bought small amount of pubecoin recently and now it's simply a useless token, I can't change it for anything that has a value.
Just a heads up that this is 100% a scam now.

Hi there,

At the moment, PubeCoin (PUBE) is still on the token sale stage which started last April 7, 2021. Currently we're on 5th week of Token Sale Round 1. Our PUBE token is not traded on any exchanges yet that's why the price is not available yet on Metamask. We will start listing on major exchanges after the token sales.

Hi.

Per the roadmap the exchange listing is due in Q3 2021 which is now already. When and where is pube coin going to be listed?

Now I feel bad for you. I didn't mean to rub it on you, but I'll advise you to start accepting that your investment is gone for good. This is why I "badger" questionable projects, to try to get as much info to be displayed on their ann thread, so people can read and judge how likely a project will run away with their money.

This project is most likely abandoned by the dev. Their last online date was four months ago, TG channel was just an empty channel, with no announcement at all, and info on website wasn't updated, they still shows the 1st round of presale which should have ended around mid May, and yet their countdown still show it last for another 222 days. Do they even manage to publish their contract address?

This one had long time token sale, about 7.5 months running, and surprisingly, it was only the first round.
Here is their token address https://etherscan.io/token/0x8cde3b3bff9bb166978560c1e83a9f56f960cfa3
Strangely, while they were doing a token sale, their tokens were being traded on Uniswap, I saw in the Dex Trade section on etherscan.

Dont worry, I have just a small bag of pubecoin, not significant loss... Just pisses me off these fuckers have no moral. Anyway, karma will get them eventually...

I mean the tokens still are available on my metamask wallet, but I dont think I can trade them anywhere for ETH or so...
