Bitcoin Forum

Seems every coin thread I look into there is basically no dev. involvement or people calling the coin dead. Starting to be a waste of time going in and out of coin threads trying to figure out who is legit and who isn't....

edit: I literally looked through the top 10 postings here and every other comment near the end of the coin thread has " is this coin dead?"  ....
hell maybe I'll just create a new thread and do it myself ....because its so fucking annoying....

edit #2:  added poll.

You should know better...

Who will follow this job? There are so many cryptos coming everydays.

huh  ???

wrong info. If you go to SuperCoin thread, not only it has devs, but they are working on the next generation of anonymous wallet system

I'll maintain the list if need be.

SuperCoin is the exception then. I just went in and out of the top 10 threads here and the coins are dead or on the way out.

Define a dead coin? That is what makes a coin dead enough to make the list.

Pretty easy to figure it out....  I'm not saying the coin is "officially dead" its just a heads up for people to aware there isn't much going on ...( I'll even check their forums if need be ...)

1.] Non-activity from Dev's  can set a certain amount of time.

2.] People can complain to a private PM that the coin has been de-listed at an exchange and is going down hill ...

Probably, plenty of other criteria to go by also....but those two for starters....

Yes , no ?

 ;D  when pow over  , all coin seems like to be a dead coin
pump and dump game

hahaha good point .... man, I've never seen so many coins barely breathing I was just reading about UniversityCoin https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=590681.1500

And how it was originally a scam, then was retaken over by the community now they are fighting for their lives as they try to stay on one exchange after getting de-listed on another haha ...its really pathetic....

edit: another one ....who had to start over again.... https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=471166.1860    I could make a list a mile long.... UFO coin ....https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=658117.0   ....this one had a hostile take over LOL you can't make this up https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=676976.660     along with some fighting going on .....

1. no one can follow up this thing and update the topic,
2. you cannot know what is the real position of a coin. Who decides it.. People always saying 'things' about the coins but almost more than half of them is bullsh*t.

Like I said I can maintain a fairly good list if need be.


It will be all relative determination . At least and update on each coin that is close to death can take place in the updated thread.  I realize most are bullsh$t.

ye  i only support btc , why people create altcoins? the most important thing is that they only want to collect more bitcoin througt their "altcoin" which people

call "shitcoin" right?

is there a site called shitcoins ?

http://www.shitcoins.info/

THANKS! geezus lol

Dead is really relative here which is why I think this is a bad idea. People are eager to throw around "dead coin" even when the dev is not online for two days or people are calling Maxcoin dead since months. As far as I'm concerned calling a coin dead is just trolling.

We can see your “fairly good” and raise you a “comprehensive”:

* Listed by name: http://minkiz.co/coin/name/
* Listed by symbol http://minkiz.co/coin/symbol/
* Listed with mugshot http://minkiz.co/coin/

We're striving to publish the list as Linked Open Data - there's a LOD browser (http://minkiz.co/lod), a SPARQL endpoint (http://minkiz.co/sparql)
and an associated OWL ontology specialised to cryptocurrency: DOACC, a Description of a CryptoCurrency, browsable on http://minkiz.co/ontology/doacc.

It's all published as Open Source ofc (both abox and tbox): http://github.com/DOACC


The absence of a complete list may have caused you to underestimate the magnitude of the task.

Cryddit maintains the Necronomicon (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=588413.0), a list of dead coins, published as an updated thread. Nice effort, shame about the publishing engine, we thought - hence our taking the Linked Open Data route.

I strongly urge you to heed the caveat about the difficulty of working without an operational definition of your primary discriminator. And at best, it can only be an ostensive definition (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ostensive_definition) with all the contention and controversy that implies.

Cheers,
