Title: Multisig coin is a complete scam!
Post by: fancy2973 on July 21, 2014, 06:36:27 PM
The dev knows nothing about the multisig and what it means to the coin. How the multisig addresses and tx should be used. He just broadly said that it will make the coin more secure. This is complete garbage and he has no idea how the multisig works.

Too many shitcoins like this, some devs just use a hot name to promote his coins, without knowing the details.


Multisig coin is a scam, be careful!

all these shitcoins should be killed, stay away from these shitcoins, so if devs get nothing, they will stop.

multisig address is used pretty much like an escrow. If you create a 2-of-3 multisig address with a public address each from 3 persons, then all the amount deposit to the address can be spent only if any of the 2 people agree and sign the transaction with their private key. So one person can not spend the amount in the wallet address.

It is ridiculous that people use that name to promote his coin, clearly as OP said, the dev of multisig coin knows nothing about multisig and use the name only to promote the coin. A shitcoin / scamcoin to avoid for sure.

It's a get rich quick scheme, but not all the coins are garbage, just look carefully at how the devs work, someone is actually good.

So it's called multisig coin, but it can't create multisig addresses?

Sure it is. Put a private key in cold storage and then multi-sig transactions you want to keep in your local software wallet.

If someone gets your private key in cold storage, it is useless to them w/o the private keys in your software wallet. And vice versa.

So can it create multisig addresses for more than one person?

I personally don't trust any of the new alt coins coming out here recently. Too many of them have scammer devs or lie about certain information in their ANN threads. Nothing good has come out of any of the alt coins I have tried to get into.

Yes this is a usage, although it is a bit werid, that you need to hide one private key in safebox, another under your bed, maybe. The problem is, does that coin support the feature you talked about? the answer is NO, this means it uses only name to cheat on people. A typical scamcoin!

Any coin can use an API or their console to create multiple keys. This is nothing new or special. The real winners will be the least complicated interface without centralization or vulnerabilities from outsourcing user data to single point 'third party' to achieve this. Our source code will be released well before we launch. Are you worried about the competition? You should be.

Nay, if you understand what is a multisig address and usage, you won't create 3 paraphrases in your coin. 3 paraphrases do not get you anywhere near a multisig address, and it shows to people that you have no idea what is a multisig address.

The problem with multisig is not whether you can create such address or not (in your coin you have no way or interfaces to create it - again use paraphrase you can't create it, it's a joke ;D ), but more how to use it. There's nothing in your "multisig" coin. You simply try to use the name and scam on those who don't understand what it is. From what I read your thread (where I don't bother to post, as you created the thread as a self-moderate topic, and you deleted and will delete all the posts that not in favor of you - typical threads for scamcoins), I agree with the creator of this thread, it is a scamcoin, period.
