Title: Should Monero run an ICO?
Post by: prettybuds on May 22, 2016, 07:04:02 PM
I think now that Monero has flopped they could consider relaunching the network with an ICO

I mean like LISK and etc is doing, just use an existing project (in Monero's case Monero, in Lisk's case Crypti), and relaunch it with an ICO to work on the unfinished product.

That means Monero devs can attract a lot of funds and then finally finish the GUI etc

what say you,  folks?


It should be voted by stakes holders so they can make the ICO a successful one,people are quick to think that the dev just want more money from the community so they need to set up a poll to see if the community will agree on this one..

They don't need an ICO, perhaps they just need one or two capable developers.

With an ICO they can get not only two but four or five developer and a very active gui and more funds for marketing this coin so it's best in my opinion to proceed with the ICO but with community voting..

TLDR: Monero can currently be considered a failed project as development has halted. They lack capable developers and funds to attract capable developers to help develop the coin. Should the Monero team run an ICO? ie. ICO & exchange of current XMR (Proof of Ownership) to the new chain?

I voted "I don't care".

If that should ever happen though, I might invest. ;D

Why should anyone invest in a late ICO for a botnetcoin with a bunch of holders?

Can you guys stop trolling Monero?

At some point I'm looking to buy back lower but you keep pushing the price up.

Hi, Monero is almost exclusively mined by botnets which alone gives it a terrible name and for good reason as well.

How do you know this? What does almost exclusively mean? I know at least a dozen or so folks mining with GPUs. Why would GPU miner development continue (Claymore miner, Wolf miner, ccminer) if it was dominated by botnets?

Simple, take a look at what's profitable with GPUs and what's profitable on CPUs (for which you don't even have to pay any electricity!).

GPU miners mining Monero are either just way too dedicated and/or dumb because they could mine pretty much anything else, sell that, buy more Monero and end up with way more Monero or people with some highly optimized super efficient miners which is possible but unlikely.

Quote that if you like but I don't remember it.

Anyway, you act like ASIC friendly algos are worse than a handful of individuals who happen to have infected hundreds or even thousands of random PCs and taking profits while having zero cost themselves.

I get that it actually helps securing the network more than anything but ASICs at least are legal and harmless.

We can agree to disagree here, but I'll take the security of the network over the misuse of botnet miners any day.

I get that it's near the bottom of the list on whattomine, but that doesn't necessarily imply that it is dominated by botnets. It could be enthusiasts (dedicated/dumb people), it could be many people mining with their laptops because they don't care about the couple dollars in power costs that will accrue over a month, it could be people with access to corporate/university clusters that they mine with while idle (while similar to a botnet, I wouldn't consider it the same). It could be a lot of things, but you insist that it is a botnet dominated coin without offering anything except for the profitability relative to other coins.

I don't share your opinion so yeah, we should certainly agree to disagree.

There are some of each kind of miners just as I said but almost 20 BTC worth of Monero is being mined every single day and GPUs are not that much profitable than CPUs and we know huge botnets exists (there were several clear proofs of that in the past) and what else botnets would mine then? Certainly not magi or whatever low-volume high n-factor scrypt-jane coins or whatever fringe CPU-friendly coins are out there especially after some crpytos like VTC changed their algo just to avoid botnets.

I definitely will not participate in ICO, if they run it .
Not the way they have chosen.
There is far more effective methods , such as a direct reward developers.

Almost no one in the community would accept an ICO either, and certainly not the developers, so it's a pointless exercise.

TLDR: Monero can currently be considered a failed project as development has halted. They lack capable developers and funds to attract capable developers to help develop the coin. Should the Monero team run an ICO? ie. ICO & exchange of current XMR (Proof of Ownership) to the new chain?

Seriously dude, WTF is wrong with you? Development has not halted, there is development like every day, a significant new update with massive performance increases is imminent. It attracts not only capable (many) but also top tier developers like hyc and the unfortunately now-deceased warptangent, and even idiots like me who help (if you could call it that) with debugging occasionally.

There is no reason to insult the excellent developers who have worked hard on the project for little money or as volunteers and done great work. If you want to insult me, go for it. Don't insult them with your retarded trolling.

If a failed coin is desperate enough to run an ICO as a last throw the dice to stay relevant then i guess all the power to them. 

An ICO might even raise enough funding to attract capable and experienced developers to deliver innovation and get out of just bug fixing and rewording code comments.

Complexity is the enemy of security and it almost always comes in the guise of features or innovations. At the end of the day, fixing bugs and testing threat models isn't sexy or glamorous, and it surely won't fool some noobs into thinking you've found the cure for cancer, but it's the only way to create a cryptographic system that performs as advertised--and does so long into the future.

Dash won the BS war, ceti, enjoy and savor it--but know, when it becomes a software war, all those complex features you built, at the cost of simplicity, are going to break down mid-combat and send your troops scurrying for cover.

Let's just make shit up and hope it sticks. Trolling 101, first page, first chapter, first sentence.

You folks just can't stomach the relative success of this niche crypto...and all that without endless threads stacked with fancy marketing pic full quotes, announcements of possible announcements of announcements of possible future features, #hashtag SEO orgies etc etc.

Trading monero is very risky indeed.

If the project failed once, what's the assurance that it will not fail again?

It's safe not to invest but watch for a while, at least.

You must have at least some (objective) reason for your statement as neither Github activity nor trading volume nor market cap nor general community activity  etcpp. support your statement of Monero being a "failed project"

I tend to disagree. There might be Github activity but there's nothing worthwhile to be found at this point. Please point me to one commit that exhibits actual competence.

My reason is that I strongly feel the project has failed and it seems to be an opinion that I'm not alone with. Monero, from my point of view, has not delivered on its promises. Monero is hardly as earth-shattering as some of its arrogant hardcore supporters claim. I figured perhaps an ICO could fix this by attracting some serious development.

So there is huge Github activity in last 2 years, but you find all of it useless?

There is strong community consensus that Monero is one of best managed and developed Crypto coins. Monero delivered on its promises. It never promised any earth shattering. It only promised most anon coin there is.

If you have fixes, you can add them in Gethub commits. Since you think there is nothing useful there, I am sure you can add a lot.

regardless, i am happy to announce -

THE MONERO ICO IS ON!!!

How to participate in the ICO

1. Buy bitcoin
2. Goto poloniex, buy monero
3. give half of the monero you just bought to core team to fund development

If you don't understand why this is no different than an ICO then you should just stop.

Sorry about that i hate to ruin your ponzi scheme "profits"
after all isn't that what all this is about anyway ?

And OP you are clearly clueless beyond comprehension (and the rest of you)

So hmmm let's recap a bit shall we Monero Investards..

First off let's point out how they already collected money from users for coding / adoption etc.
then when the guy holding the coins and the guy spending them ran into some drama
they decided to have a little fake vote to give back donated funds.. because they fucked up !
What did they fuck up ?

Well for one thing we have Risto / reptiela the millionaire who has a Bentley & lives in a castle
having free will to spend the donated funds on what he feels like..
With no permission or oversight from ANYONE and who was "holding" the donated funds ?
Why David Latapie of course the "MEW Treasurer"
Both of whom have been said to NOT be a part of the "Monero Team"

So lesson time Kidiots.. what does that tell you ?
Any wild guesses ?
Do i have to spell it out to you all real slowly ..again  ::)

Or.. cry FUD collect more donations and spend the money on Bitcointalk Forum games (for adoption)

In what twisted fucked up universe is this bullshit acceptable ?
Take a failed irritating fucking gimmicky shit coin that was already a "community take over" from day one
then discuss about re-launching it with an even more scammy distribution model ?
Are you tards high or what ?
Or just frothing at the mouth with greed ?

Ya.. re-launch Monero as an IPO / ICO i fucking dare you ROFL
You all think i bitch about them lots as it is ? hahahhaa

Monero = Idiotic gimmick scam coin backed by greedy morons looking to augment their ponzi-token
..to increase their profits.

Hey brainiacs get it yet ?
Donated funds was not the problem..
The problem was finding respectable dev's who wanted to work on the shit coin !
They have had no problem coming up with donated funds just no one willing
to get involved with the French crew and their millionaire and irritating "Marketing team"

Want to put lipstick on a pig ? Fine.
But making an IPO relaunch would be like smacking it in the face with a shovel.

Monero.. the Mensa genius coin for Pyramid scheme bag holder aficionado's.
I aemz to havingk me profitz !!!111 HODL FOeva!!!! amez haz richz lamboz !!!!

Your a blind & delusional BAG HOLDER yourself !
You are lying full of shit.
When a crew of guys make endless mistakes and then accomplish pretty much nothing in 2 years
then yes it can safely be considered a failure.

Mr French Dev how is your french buddy Latapie ?
And how is his buddy's doing who were arrested for Fraud in France ?
And why did Latapie the MEW treasurer who held donated funds vanish *again* ?
And what did Latapie tell the French Police ? And what did he tell them about his "Monero Marketing Company" ?

The level of fucking denial with you and other Monero idiots blows me the fuck away.
You all act like idiots then play dumb deny it all 100% then go right back to crying Troll / FUD.
..again ..for years

On my humble opinion you dont fall into this group "invested in other coins and try to FUD competition." , but i could be wrong.  Your every monero post includes Risto and lately also David. So i guess your problem is mainly with them and you dislike all they do. Let me open your eyes. They also breath air. Will you stop breathing now?

Then how can you possibly judge competence? You say, "Please point me to one commit that exhibits actual competence" but how is that even possible if you aren't qualified to assess competence when it is right in front of your eyes?

Most of the commits (virtually all in fact) are quite competent. There are a few errors here and there, of course, but that's normal for software development.

One could say the same thing for the other metrics that were pointed out. Market cap, trading volume, market cap ranking, coingecko ranking, etc. None of these point to a failed project. It is blatantly obvious as demonstrated by verifiable ongoing work that your claim that "development has halted" is nonsense or a deliberate lie. You're just 100% full of shit and it is obvious. Maybe you really aren't trolling, I can't say. But if not then incredibly stupid.

Development can mean different things to different people..

The point people take away from it all over all is.. what MAJOR accomplishments have happened ?
Puttering around with the code for years on end doing minor changes does NOT
constitute development in my books.. and i would know i am a coder for a couple decades before Monero existed.

But hey let's play dumb about that OBVIOUS point i made that SHOULD "go with out saying".
And then let's cry Troll + FUD some more  ::)

@Febo
You are aware i have checked out your post history before right ?
You are not French yet what languages have you posted here with ?
Care to explain ?
I can also cite how you have obviously weird English that is from someone with it as a 2nd language.
I doubt you "get" many English idioms etc.
But.. play dumb some more ..it's the Monero way LOL

PS:
I still think the name is retarded.
And i also still think the concept of an anon coin is a retarded idea.. doomed to failure.
One problem is it will attract hoards of criminals and then the cops etc.
Don't matter if it is an "option" either because if it *can* be used by Terrorists & crack dealers on SilkRoad etc
Then it will be !
And then THAT will be what the coin is KNOWN for and there for shoot yourself in the foot with global adoption.
Then what do you do security wise when the wold govts employ endless resources to hire hackers
to rape the coin ?
Who wants to place bets on who will be the winner ?
Russian, American or Chinese Govt vs. smooth & Febo  :D

You shillero's did not think it through too well you just wanted a "me too" coin asap..
And you thought your ANON gimmick was a good angle to push for you clone fork mod cryptonote take over coin etc

If you think Monero is going to EVER accomplish anything i think your brain damaged guys.
..accomplish anything MAJOR ;)
Sorry minor code edits amount to squat.

LOL. Very droll and enjoyable posts.

However, I don't agree with your views on anonymity. Bitcoin has a public ledger, and was used for all the above, and has almost certainly been targetted by the The Powers That Be. Who knows, maybe the TPTB own or control 50% of big mining operations so they can pull the plug when they see fit.

Anonymity, however, makes cryptocoins no different to cash or gold. The cat is out the bag and as long as there are cryptocurrencies there will be at least one widely used anonymous one - probably a cryptonote due to resistance from mining monopolies and it's distributed model for anonymity.

See ? You don't know what "relevent" means.

Have you posted comments here in French ?

80% ? irrelevant ?
I would say i have very much posted relevant info for a specific reason you choose to play dumb about.
Now we can discuss that one point.. the "French Connection"
Which may or may not be relevant but the rest of what i said sure as fucking hell is.
So how does that constitute 80% ?

Your spewing pure raw bullshit in an clear attempt to create a diversion & discredit me.
You dropped denying the French part and said it's "irrelevant"
Then fired off a stat that is clearly retarded bullshit.

If 80% of what i say is "irrelevant" then it should be easy for you to prove it.. go for it ..be my guest !

And fuck your back peddling conspiracy shit guys.
If one coin does more to provide anon features then another then yes it may be used by criminals.
If it then gets used by criminals it will then get known for that like Bitcoin was known for it early on.
I have met strangers on the street who told me this word for word when discussing BTC.
So i don't give two shits about theory rabble here.. i already have my answers because
i got off my ass and went outside and got them first hand from the public face to face.

They unanimously say "Bitcoin.. ohh that drugs & guns internet currency thing"

Account hop.. play dumb.. cause diversions.. cry Troll.. cry FUD ..back peddle. make up lies and Bullshit stats

How is this working out for ya Monero shills ?
Are people falling for it ?

I would say NO ..it has accomplished you NOTHING in 2 years and the coin is effectively as dead as it can get.
Let me provide an example to illustrate my very relevant point.
Jackpotcoin was working perfectly fine when it was delisted from Bittrex etc.
Problem was.. a lack of interest for the WORKING coin, so they pulled it.
Did puttering around with the code endlessly mean it was not dead ?
And it technically is still NOT "Dead" because if you wanted to you could go and get it running.
It's simply delisted all over and suffers from a lack of interest.

So head fake & bob & weave all you want but i have blown all your Monero shill points out of the water !
I have taken each one of your little shit coin retorts and destroyed them.
Seems mighty fucking relevant to me ;)

Monero blockchain should be shut down so that monero religion believers would have their mind free and come back to the real world.

in real crypto everything is possible as long you get consensus to do it. That is a the beauty of it. If developers, miners, exchanges and merchants will want to do that they will do it. For all the rest this is not something to worry about.

Why should anyone invest in a late ICO for a botnetcoin with a bunch of holders?

That is the reasoin why the Monero price is not rising. The cost to the bonet operator is very low, they will dump at any price.

Exactly. Basing it on what one guy does in an arbitrary time window is meaningless. Sometimes I pay attention to opening issues and sometimes I don't.

Also, we changed the development process a bit recently (discussed in one of the dev meetings I think) where PRs which don't blatantly break something but raise potential issues are merged after opening an issue rather than holding back the PR. Many of those issues reference a PR or vice versa.

TLDR: Monero can currently be considered a failed project as development has halted. They lack capable developers and funds to attract capable developers to help develop the coin. Should the Monero team run an ICO? ie. ICO & exchange of current XMR (Proof of Ownership) to the new chain?




Development halted? When did it ever start?

I haven't looked at this coin since early 2014 and a lot of the same flaws that were there in the beginning are still there.

I'm guessing Anonymint didn't hold Smooth's hand tight enough.

Perhaps that's why Smooth destroyed Anonymint's reputation.

I'll say it again - the Monero ICO is in full swing.  
  
You can get your Monero ICO tokens on any major exchange.  The thing is, you're not buying them from the pockets of some unscrupulous premine scam devs - you are buying them from people who have used computers to do actual mathematical work to generate them: hence proof-of-work.  
  
When you buy a premine ICO, what are you buying?  Smoke and mirrors.  When you buy a Monero token, pre-GUI, pre-awareness phase, pre-everything that is yet to come.... you are still buying a token generated fairly and honestly using the only known consensus mechanism that has ever been shown to actually secure blockchains.  And the best part - you can use it right now for its intended purpose: a secure, untraceable unit of account.  It is the best money that our civilization has ever invented. 
  
And it exists now, and has existed for two years. 
 
The Monero 'ICO' is happening right now under your nose... but it won't last forever.

Yes it has ZeroDay Vulnerabilities dating back to the Bytecoin fork that still remain. Lastly, it cannot scale; either they drop the ring signatures or their botnet will be mining by itself. I vote no to bailouts (ICO) caused by lack of skilled programmers. 8)

I discovered 13 ZeroDay's in Monero source code and exploited the v2 block bug that split the network consensus. The remaining 12 I'm keeping in my back pocket so next time they piss me off again or attempt a DoS. ;)

JohnConnor, you're a liar.

Are you sufficiently pissed off to use one of the 12 exploits you claim to have? Or do you need all 12?  ::)

Hint: if you are going to be a liar (which is not something I recommend), you should probably contain your lies within the practicality of being possibly true. The idea that you have 12 exploits and can't use or reveal one to prove you aren't full of shit is astoundingly ridiculous--maybe claim one or two next time.

The joke's on him.  I have discovered 34 exploits in VCash's code.  One of these will allow me to intercept a 'zerotime' transaction, causing it to never arrive at its intended destination.  Another allows me to take control of the next address which attempts a 'zerotime' transaction.  The price for each of these exploits is one Monero each - because that's about the fair value of penetrating VCash's laughable frankenscheme.  I will not reveal these exploits under any circumstances, unless qualified buyers present themselves.

I called you a liar. Accusations don't prove you aren't a liar--though they hint that you want to change the subject or obfuscate the charge. So let's make this simple:

JohnConnor (you) are a liar.

The only way you can disprove this statement is to prove you have an exploit--as you claim to have twelve.

You made the bed, I'm just asking you to lay in it. So accusing Monero of having a marketing team (or whatever else) is theater of distraction.

My guess is he wants to create a flame war between Monero and V-cash as it will prove his narrative of BTC and XMR are afraid of his coding skills--calling out his BS on a thread, focusing on it, and keeping it within the confines of this thread, doesn't serve his objective--probably why he ran off without addressing it, but not before using a random attack to try to incite an emotional response.

You're as dumb as him if you don't get the situation.

--If he can't deliver at least one exploit, he looks like a liar.

--If he does deliver at least one exploit, he'll gain HUGE reputation and probably some market cap.

--So given that he has claimed 12, revealing at least one is the best option and an easy one to make at that--now, if he had only said one or two, then your argument makes more sense.

My guess is you and the rest of the V-cards will have to live with option A and try defend an unenviable position. As the saying goes, "It's better to have smart enemies than dumb friends."


My guess is he is praying someone who is smarter than him will give him an exploit so he can take credit for it--similar to what he did with his lack of attributions for Satoshi's code.

Well to put this argument into perspective, John-Connor was the first person on January 15th (check the twitter feed) to correctly point out that the flaw was in fact a zeroday exploit and not a DOS attack like the devs of monero were calling it on January 15th...  the fact that he outed himself out as the person who exploited the XMR code to force the event solidifies that he knows a lot about the cryptonote codebase.

whether or not he has 12 more that he can exploit as well is another question, but I would be careful how far you take this flame war.

I wouldn't. Threats are a cheap form of psychological warfare and Mr. Connor seemed quite in your face back then, but seems less than eager to do or prove anything today. Instead he hides behind a few shills (or possibly sock-puppet accounts) after running off. Either prove it or stfu.

Are you lying too or just incredibly retarded? Denial of service (DOS) is a type of attack that can, under the right circumstances, be performed using an exploit. They are two words for (or two aspects of) the exact same thing.

If the attack had progressed to the point where funds were lost, or information were improperly disclosed (not applicable in this case) then it could be called something other than a DoS. In reality the only impact of the attack was that some exchanges suspended service (i.e. denial of service) until it was patched. There was not even a persistent chain fork because hash rate accepting the invalid block was below 50%.

tldr: there was a bug that allowed someone to propagate an invalid block, indirectly denying service for a short time. The Monero team discovered the attack, diagnosed the cause (with no assistance from john-conner or anyone else outside the team, though genuine assistance is certainly always appreciated), and released a fix before any serious harm occurred, and john-connor tried to take credit for it with no verifiable evidence whatsoever.

Monero devs sold it as an attack at the time, John was the one pointing out it was an exploit. There's a difference.. anybody is free to look it up on Twitter themselves, so i really don't care for your troll games smooth :)

simple math here    13-1=12  :D :D :D

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1473091.msg14869453#msg14869453

12 + never happened, still equals 12.

But ATM he has a stage and an audience and a stated 1 of 12 exploits to pick from....any day now....

Never happened??

https://i.imgur.com/wHVlCK8.jpg

That tweet is the next day after the bug was already publicly known. I proves nothing about john-connor's claims.

I asked for a him to show a link to a tweet (not a screenshot) with a timestamp prior to the bug being publicly known, proving his knowledge as he claimed could be done via twitter, and got crickets. I'm still waiting.

There is no difference and furthermore the official announcement (https://forum.getmonero.org/1/news-announcements-and-editorials/2452/monero-network-malicious-fork-from-block-913193-updates-and-resolution) posted prior to any tweets from him I can find, clearly stated there as an ommitted check error in the code (i.e. exploit) so you are still lying.

I'm still waiting for tweet timestamps proving his involvement (i.e. not after a public announcement) as he claimed and challenged us to debunk. Until he provides a link to such a tweet, he is debunked, but then let's face it, he was debunked as soon as it was discovered he ripped off the Bitcoin code and lied about writing it from scratch and claimed a lot of other delusional nonsense.

TLDR: Monero can currently be considered a failed project as development has halted. They lack capable developers and funds to attract capable developers to help develop the coin. Should the Monero team run an ICO? ie. ICO & exchange of current XMR (Proof of Ownership) to the new chain?

Seriously dude, WTF is wrong with you? Development has not halted, there is development like every day, a significant new update with massive performance increases is imminent. It attracts not only capable (many) but also top tier developers like hyc and the unfortunately now-deceased warptangent, and even idiots like me who help (if you could call it that) with debugging occasionally.

There is no reason to insult the excellent developers who have worked hard on the project for little money or as volunteers and done great work. If you want to insult me, go for it. Don't insult them with your retarded trolling.

Change "Monero" to "Bitcoin" and you'll instantly know how I feel about ButtCoiner types moaning about Core "stagnation."   ;)

Lol look at the vote. :D This forum sees through your shenanigans (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1473670.msg14863933#msg14863933) and antics that's probably why your coin is dying. I would be very wary of owning monero at this point. Just look at the blatant complete disregard at the vulnerabilities found. No one wants to be part of that. For anyone who is, good luck with your sinking ship with capt. Risto at the helm.    

    

To keep you on your vcash sockpuppet words ...

Yours truly master john-connor DID NOT EVEN NAME ONE VULNERABILITY!!!

yes he didn`t .....and he shouldn`t ..at least not for free just my 2 Vcash...cheers :D :D
I'm personally offering 500k XMR for all 12 of the exploits.
Please contact me personally (not through these forums). All that is required is a trusted escrow so you can verify the vulnerabilities BEFORE releasing the funds. Thanks.  8)

BCX, your rep was shot a year ago with your failed "timewarp" attack and now you're trusting a satoshi stealing coder and technically vacuous weatherman for your revenge? Here's a hint: JohnConnor starts fights he can't finish with FOSS projects (Monero, Bitcoin) in an attempt to glean their reputation by saying "See, the projects with good developers are fighting me, so I must be legit? Right?" Wrong--it would help if he didn't start the fights and run off when he's proved to be wrong. And sputz, well he was recently called out for not being able to explain why Eth will fail--saying every coin is a scam is like saying the weather in San Diego will be sunny tomorrow. Everyone knows that 98% of these coins are shit, so saying any of them are is playing the probabilities. It will be impressive when he provides some technical analysis to go along with the fail claim, much like roach, smooth, anonymint and fluffypony did for Etherem--even you managed to provide a link somewhere to why Eth would fail--your buddy didn't even manage that. It's like the saying goes, "It's better to have smart enemies than dumb friends." Maybe if you hang around anonymint and smooth more, you might up your game instead of little political gamesmanship of death by association. IE. You tried to associate Monero to a few failed projects (that highlight how Monero's design isn't like any of those failed projects) and I just associated you to a moron and a conman--if you spent some time on it, you might figure out which one is which. Good luck.

Are you saying you are anonymint--he wouldn't stoop to misquoting and lying, so it doesn't fit the personality, but go ahead and claim it (directly), if you've got the balls.

As for sputz, when he adds how monero is a scam, then I'll listen--I can quote anonymint saying that Monero definitely isn't a scam, and you can quote me that you are a liar. Also, I fixed your misquote, maybe you can read it--that is if you aren't having one of your poor reading comprehension days. We all get them, but months on end?

Monero isn't a scam.

Dash, NXT, vCash, Bytecoin are not scams.

Any coin that is traded on an exchange and has a higher market price now then when bought 6 months ago isn't a scam.

Even DAO isn't (wasn't?) a scam - even now you can get the FIAT equivelent back from post ICO prices.

The problem with Monero is that by having devs (well, one dev in particular) shouting scam at random coins, setting themselves up as the sheriffs of crypto, means that they pissed off a lot of people who are happy to give them a taste of their own medicine. As with all accusations and FUD there is always a glimmer of truth (BitMonero cripple/botmine).

So really, this has to start without people randomly calling genuine cryptocurrencies scams and leave the accusations for genuine scams like blatent Ponzi schemes.
