Title: Today's list of Shit and Scam Coins --- January 18th -- Ed. 3 --
Post by: tk808 on January 18, 2014, 07:28:08 PM
Welcome to the Third edition of Shit and Scam coins

I'd like to thank lasciv for helping me compile the list for today's reviews



1) Bitnote - Premine Unknown - This coin was a remarkable failure. Problems with the Windows-qt client caused people see a new light on this shitcoin. With no support or imagination, Bitnotes will drift into the graveyards where its brothers and sister lie in their graves... peacefully.
 

2) OilCoin - and i quote " HAVING ISSUES WITH THE CODE TRY TO GET IT SOLVED! PROJECT OILCOIN IS ON HOLD DUE TO LACK OF CODING BY NOW.
WILL GIVE UPDATE WHEN EVERYTHING IS SET TO GIVE A PERFECT START."
Sheer madness. These "devs" can't even generate and maintain their coins anymore. Oilcoin had a few nice designs, but the coin fall shorts by "mining for oil." This coin will find it's place right next to Bitnotes, in the graveyard of failed shitcoins.


3) MarioBrosCoin - First Coinye and now Mario. The lack of imagination or talent has pushed developers to infringe on brands of the real world. MBC was doomed from the start. I hope a man comes knocking on these devs doors with court summons.


4) Cryptonium - At this point, i almost have no words to say. I'm reluctant to even waste my time writing about this disaster of a name. The developer of this coin actually bought COYE coin. Essentially he inherited his bankruptcy. With its logo made in MS paint and a single mining rig, i'm suprised this coin is even being considered as a monetary system. Just goes to show, people will fall for anything.


4.5) On a side note somebody actually made Alien coin... Read number 4  https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=416541.0


5) LeproCoin - Pre-mine .5%  What a lame fucking name and logo design. Absolute trash, obviously this coin was made from a generator. I beg you guys and girls not to support this shitcoin. The the only future for this coin, and that's its inevitable death.


6) QubitCoin - IT HAS NO PREMINE, time to take it serious! Go all out, this is the next bitcoin guys. Holy fuck, i'm ready to send my 1000thz to this shitcoin and become a millionare QUBIT IS THE FUTURE.
Fuck off, rot in hell you lame ass dev. No imagination, No new tech advancements, and hardly any PR or Marketing strategy this will be a quick and painful death. I advise not to waste 1 watt of electricity on this piece of shit.


7) Fuckcoin - Premine 5% (greedy whore) - This may be the best shitcoin launched today. Congratulations. I laughed.


8 ) XCoin - Premine - As much as the dev feels like. ooooo Xcoin. Where do i begin? Just... save yourself sometime and don't support this. This coin is absolutely going nowhere.


9) Ducats - Premine "No" - Someone go check the block explorer oh wait they don't have ONE! I'm starting to find a pattern on these forums:



The Great Cycle of a shitcoin:

(1) Coingen.io ---->
(2) Pay and Generate ------>
(3) Copy and paste another shit coins article ----->
(4) Post Shitcoin gets accepted ----- >

OR                                           ----- > Dies from being too shity even for shitcoin hoarders, Back to step 1

(5) Reward bounties for supporting shitcoin ----- >
(6) Shitcoin Giveaways ----- >
(7) Try to get on a trade site ------>

OR                                           ----- >  Never gets accepted, because it's the lowest form of shit, back to step 1.

(8 ) Gets accepts and slowly dies because no more money is to be made off of shitcoin.

OR                                           ----- >       All support is lost for shitcoin, back to step 1

(9) In very very rare cases such as Doge    ----- > Gains massive appeal and fame for being a new breed of shitcoins, Dies in 6 months. back to step 1




SCAMS

Next time, i had enough shit for today.

Remove or I'm reporting you for spreading lies/FUD about me, CRN coin and the original dev psomas2.

1) I'm not the dev of CRN, psomas2 is. Find him and apologize for talking sh!t about his coin. I was the one who made the ANN. That's all I have in common with CRN ( List few pages and you'll see what I'm talking about)

2) I do not own COYE - I had the accounts, yes. I shared them with the new team which is behind COYE right now. I wasn't the creator of that coin, as well. I got the accounts after the original dev dumped the info.

You have 24h, after that I'm flagging you.



Here's your "MS paint logo": https://ip.bitcointalk.org/?u=http%3A%2F%2Fi.imgur.com%2F8Zhd1F6.png&t=536&c=723wv9MM5tG8Zg

Thank you.


PS: Next time before you start attention seeking, you should contact the people behind the coin and ask for information.


EDIT: 24h+ passed. I warned.

no... just no

doge is NEVER going to die now. ever. that's not to say it cant be devalued greatly, but that coin will still be traded as long as there are cryptos.

also stop complaining about the weather, buy a !@$in umbrella, take your car, or don't go outside. the storm will pass.

lol @ calling vertcoin a scam because of 150 coin premine (out of 84 million), that's only 0.00000178571 of all coins. I've mined several hundred already with ONE gpu from 2009, just to put that into perspective.

KeyserSozeMC gave me negative rep for no reason. Instead of PMing me like a honest, intelligent and honorable dude, he decided to post a warning on a thread i don't even watch.


This is an opinion article, when your shitcoin was launched it did have an MS pain logo. Your shitcoin got washed down the drain 3 weeks ago. Now that your mad you have to take your anger out on someone?


Faggot, You are a complete fucking trash and i hope you get robbed of all your BTCs.

 I read all of your threads and some of your posts have merit but a lot of them are just bias opinions from what I can tell because you do not provide any real information about certain "shit coins" or even your definition of "shit coin" itself. Some are blatant greed/scams but others seem to be people honestly trying innovation of some kind.

Like this coin for example:

2) SocialCoin - I really laughed at this. Check out its logo, https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=418607.0. The logo and the name have nothing to do with each other. Our Socialcoin developer is trying to appeal to your sub-conscious about helping people and doing better for human-kind. The only good this coin will ever do, is line the pockets of it's devs with some dollars. Do not support this monstrosity, if you want to help charities and homeless, i wouldn't be doing it on these forums.  


Really? I never did any research on this coin but the point of your posts is so we don't need too right? Odds are this is just a clone coin (as 99% are) but from what you just posted it tells me that someone is at least trying something within the community. So what the dev could not use paint shop pro and had to use mspaint... I never knew that artistic talent == trust.

I didn't bother to read the announcement thread either. Maybe this coin is a scam but the point of your posts is so we do not need to research through the shit either right? Where is the shitty-ness of this coin? Why does it fall into a list of blatent pre-mine/scam coins? Because the author has a logo that does not appease your artistic taste?

 This is just one example of many I picked up within your 3 threads. There seems to be more personal attacks on coins than genuine "look out for this scam" coins

I see this specific post (from what you wrote) is just YOUR PERSONAL OPINION and nothing more which makes the whole point of your posts less credible. What if I decided to say that you creating these threads is just to try to create some credibility so when you create your own shit coin to line your pockets it will at least get to "step 8"

What is the point in creating multiple threads when you can just update one?

This is not an attack on you personally. I think your intent is genuine.....just like social shares?

You are part of the problem.not the solution in this clone/hype/scam coin community.

You are feeding similar shit to the same sheep....Just using a different spoon.

This artcle was written on January 18th. The quality and quantity of coins launched have greatly diminished since then. There is research done, as i check the account and the history/background, tech specs...etc of each coin. Or i tried to at least, people update their initial coin posts. So what you see now, is not what i saw back then in the early stages.


These threads were created for 1 purpose (again this is the mentality back in january) and that was to inform the readers from what to watch out for.
I can't force anyone not to support or invest in a coin. Look at Vertcoin, yes it was on my list. I had to revoke that claim and admitted i was incorrect, but it still succeeded in the end.

People chose what coins to support, i do not. I just help by bringing the tiny details to life.

I shouldn't need to do research. That is the job of these posts right? I am well aware of the "quality" of all the coins flooding the market. I know the difference. I know what trad-able hype coins to ride and what ones to avoid so I don't need to read over your threads. The point is you are attempting to put an opinion of alt coins on those that do not know the difference or are new to the community without merit. That is just as dangerous as the coins themselves.

I also know when this thread was created. I saw the post date but I felt my opinion was needed here.

Most of the coins you listed I never heard of besides VertCoin which I do trade short term. Personally I see no harm in Vertcoin at all as far as trading. The hype is there, the volume is ok and I make money. What is wrong with that?

I cannot tell if the points you make against these coins are genuine (although it seems to be your personal opinion) or malicious (you have an underlying agenda)

So please be more neutral when outing altcoins. Like socialshares for example. Odds are it is just copy-pasta clone code but other than that what makes it so malicious that people cannot have fun with it? The value of these cryptos is only what the digital community puts on them. From what you posted I just see it as someone with little knowledge attempting innovation. What is so wrong with that? Why list that in with the pre-mine/scam coins?

What is this line you are creating and where are you drawing it?

I do not want to do any research on socialshares but since you outed it can you please clarify why this is a "shit coin" other than the fact it is just a clone?

Thanks
