Title: DannyHamiltonCoin is a SCAM.
Post by: DannyHamilton on July 15, 2014, 06:36:07 PM
I've been approached via PM by a brand new userID asking to use my name as the name of a new altcoin they want to create.

I am using this thread to make the conversation public and to state that I do not give my permission for my reputation to be used in this way.

I will be posting the contents of the conversation here so that it is clear that I have not given permission to anyone for using my name, likeness, or identity to publicize an altcoin.

I don't understand the question.

In what way would my name be used?

Why not? I'll release it in a fair way to give everyone a chance to mine it.

In my personal opinion, all altcoins are worthless pump-and-dump scams and a waste of time and money.

A new coin with my name on it would provide no innovation and would serve no useful purpose other than to try and make quick money for the early adopters at a loss for the late adopters.

I'm not interested in my name being associated with such a thing.

Bad news, instead of rolling the die my dog has eaten it ...

Let's play one round Rock-paper-scissors, if I win I will release the altcoin.
Please pick one and post it here in plaintext, here's the hash of my choice:

I choose paper.

I win.

Now please, just go away.
