Graylist - Reasoning


DataCoin - Truly innovative

GridCoin - Truly innovative

Klondikecoin - deserves to be on the whitelist

Mintcoin - should be added to white list, it should start to gain traction in the market soon and has a very good future





Blacklist - Reasoning

Maxcoin - Bungled launch without Windows client to give devs early advantage, Blatant pump and dump

Bitcoin scrypt - just a copy of bitcoin and litecoin. It does not offer any innovation at all. Just mocking the bitcoin algo.

Bytecoin - complete clone of bitcoin, basically just resets the bitcoin.

Quark - adds nothing useful & is basically un-mineable now, another pump & dump scamcoin.



If you see a coin that is Blacklisted and you dont agree
Please Provide a compelling argument and the pros/cons will be weighed

Updated to post #83

Goldcoin (GLD) is approaching its one-year anniversary and is considered a mature altcoin.

The coin was one of the first to develop a 51% defense system and to become multi-pool resistant. Goldcoin was one of the first altcoins to release a fully-functional Android app. Today, the developers are working on an innovative java client to be released soon.

We believe that 2014 will be a banner year for Goldcoin as our marketing campaign rolls out in Spring to promote our new java client.

Peercoin - First proof of stake coin, aims to replace proof of work
Primecoin - First proof of useful work, finding prime numbers
Namecoin - Adding public database feature

Dogecoin - First dog theme

I need more than that for Dogecoin.

I think that you should make a list of what is bad and assign points to each thing if the coin reaches more than a set amount of points it goes on the bad list coins then do things to improve themselves and get onto the good list

I think we should clarify the definition of innovation vs shitcoins.

This is a great article to promote and discuss to put an end to shit coins.

When I first became interested in altcoins, I focused on technical characteristics as my sole criterion. I've come to realize that is too limited - that emotional loyalties can play a factor in the success of a coin, either by appealing to a particular demographic (Auroracoin) or a particular interest (dogecoin).

My opinion - whitelist dogecoin because it does appear to have some development and community support, more so than 98% of the altcoins out there. And keep Auroracoin in mind - if the March 25 airdrop proceeds as planned and is not a complete disaster (even a partial success would be a great thing in my opinion), then whitelist it then.

As for blacklisting, Spaincoin sure looks like a rushed copy of Auroracoin without the necessary planning and marketing. I know everyone wants to act fast, but with altcoins we ought to be thinking long term, and people should be taking their time to release coins with long term staying power.

Digitalcoin (DGC) - Has built in protection for 51% and approaching its 1 year anniversary. Also has great community support

Every X # of blocks there is a "Checkpoint" block that resets the chain back to a set point making it hard to fork. I don't personally understand exactly how it works, but I do know that it seems to have worked. I can ask baritus to explain it the next time I see him and I can pm it to you if you'd like me to.

Ok, these are the real kinds of reasons I am looking to protect investors against, sometimes people buy coins and have no clue about this kind of stuff. I am going to have to create a GrayList, and present both sides of the arguement.

That's what POS coins have been doing for a long time now

You really are a piece of shit. I have been trying to ignore you for the last little while, but its fucking impossible. You are the biggest fucking douche I have ever seen on the internet or in real life. You have nothing better to do than go around on this forum and spread whatever shit, lies, FUD you feel like spreading. Noone on this board likes you yet you somehow are still here.

I don't know why you have such a hard-on for baritus/DGC but you either need to drop it or come up with proof that what you say happened actually happened. And before other people start saying things like "dont feed the troll" think about it this way, if 75% of your crypto funds were in Digitalcoin and someone went around spouting off and driving the price down all day long, how the fuck would you feel?

BCX seems like a trusted, respected member of the community.

You seem like an angry person with 75% of your funds invested in to a crypto that this well-respected member has said is a scam coin.

Just my opinion.

I would really like it if you can please go through the thread that BCX bombed in the other day please. He was in there for 3 days saying the same thing over and over again. "show us the address the coins were stolen from"
#1. we found the block the coins were transfered in, that didnt matter, BCX kept going on about it
#2. in that same thread he said that Cryptoave was hacked and funds were compromised, when in actuality no coins were lost, someone just locked people people out of their accounts (they locked them by trying to reset the passwords and failing, over and over, it only happened to 9 accounts and did not compromise anyones actual account)
#3. BCX visited a few of my threads stating he was going to hack my site (which is based off of DGC) "once i get more users"

So please dont judge Digitalcoin on what this worthless piece of trash has to say about it. Look into all the BCX hate threads, he is a massive bully and is known for spreading lies to get what he wants, I mean ffs, he said he was gonna hack KGW, also said he was going to fork LTC a while back. Don't listen to his FUD, come talk to us in #Digitalcoin on the freenode network and judge for yourself

I support a number of coins including PPC, NMC and DGC and there is no way in hell a non-biased person can possibly put DGC on the blacklist. Are you serious you moron?? This just goes to show you are running some sort of crazy agenda against the DGC community. What might be better is if your blacklisted from Bitcointalk considering the number of ridiculous, inflammatory and senseless posts you put on this site.

Whitelist inclusion reasons for DGC.

- Hardworking and innovative dev
- Very fair and clean launch (No premine/instamine. Arguably the fairest of all alts)
- Regular client updates
- Dub lightweight wallet (which hardly any alts have) which will include various integrations such as GUI miner
- Upcoming Coinmart store
- CryptoAve exchange ( merchant services, DGC, SRC and ARG to USD markets)
- Digiclick.co advertising for DGC
- Upcoming revamped DGC website and market site
- DGC Text based MMO
- DGC/ARG Bank
- DGC Poker site
- Upcoming marketing push including TV and radio

You must be really new here, BCX is neither respected nor trusted, he is a loudmouth tool/troll

Hurry up and call your mod freinds to get rid of people in a thread that dont agree with you. Stop being a fucking asshole and deal with the fact that you are a lying piece of garbage spreading FUD on a good community! If you would keep your mouth shut we would have no problem getting back up to 0.80$ per DGC

+1 to the OP for trying to do this in a responsible, sensible manner.

Whitelist:

Dogecoin, huge community support & welcoming to crypto newcomers

Teacoin, very supportive dev made for real tea shops, genuine 0 premine

Whitelist:

Protoshares - innovative way to decentralize assets exchanges of DAC

GPUcoin - it was built for the main purpose of buying discount GPUs with a business already in place. IPO was distributed to investors as promised.

PAWNcoin - It was built for online PAWNshop. Escrow was used for the IPO and it was distributed as promised.

And the great thing about Goldcoin being used as a currency is its stability, its not going to do these stupid upswings in price, anytime it rises significantly I'll dump (as I've done in the past) and keep the price nice and low.

Whitelist:

* Androidstokens: Still alive despite everything that was thrown at it, I'll bet the dev spent more keeping this coin alive than was spent on any other coin out there. Popular both in the western and eastern markets. If anything, we can be sure the current dev (http://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=121108) will never let this coin die as long as he can help it.
* PMC: A worthy experiment of the future of BitCoin, has already found bugs (block reward resets to 50 after last halving) in the BitCoin code that would have gone undetected until it was mined out otherwise. Widely distributed, serious community, Android wallet with more features than the one that everyone keeps cloning. Developer here (http://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=216872)
* DataCoin: Truly innovative, in the sense that it expands a feature like NameCoin (domain name lookup) to more media types for perpetual distributed data storage.
* GridCoin: Truly innovative, in the sense that it rewards people spending electricity on generally altruistic BOiNC projects in the form of crypto.

Repected by who? The Ku Klux Klan?? Richard Nixon?? All the places he has threatened to or has DDOS'd?? Gimme a break. Funniest post I've read all week.  ;D :D

Allright Guys, Please dont forget to add the names of the Devs, or Group of devs as you know them.

Also, I need more content than Truly inovative. why are they innovative?

One other thing, Please Do not argue in this thread, argue in other threads, this thread is intended to compile real data and attitudes on all of the Alternate Currencies.

Thank you.

Gridcoin - computing power is used to generate coins and compute research data at the same time. It helps to find a cure to diseases like cancer.

Feodracoin/TIPS - Built in mixer in the qt-wallet.

NXT - 2nd gen crypto with 100% POS, wallet is in java and coins are accessible with a passphrase instead of wallet.dat. Already have alias system. Test version of decentralized exchange has been released. Great developers working on this coin.  

@ Op why is DGC even on the graylist?? There is no way anyone can prove categorically that Baritus sold $30k of his coins. That is just blatant speculation. Also what are these pump and dump coins? SRC is a fair launch, multi algorith coin with some shared dgc services and not a pump and dump coin at all and he took over ARG dev from another developer. I say DGC should be moved to the Whitelist.

Thanks.

Well now I don't know what to believe, but I'm inclined to lean towards the members who have been here for a while.

I'll just continue to form my own opinion over time rather than clusterfucking this awesome idea of a thread with shitty arguments.

Androids Tokens DEV is me :) ( link in elrapido's pot doesn't work )

Agreed, we can just blacklist a coin for the following reasons - Shady dev recently sold $30,000 of his own coins while soliciting investors, Developer has numerous other pump and dump coins, Conflict of interest being exchange owner and coin dev  - If we did that one could try to blacklist all of the coins with a dev that sells some of his coins or owns an exchange, however, I want to include all of the points of views so I will move to the whitelist for the compelling argument but I have to include the attempt to blacklist,..

COI is a possible to definite negative point for me. It's also a possible +, because it indicates a dev who is willing to support his own coins. Kind of on the fence about the "numerous other pump and dump coins" because AlphaC handed baritus ARG.

Unfortunately, I'm not sure anyone has proven that baritus himself dumped $30k, so that's more of a rumor.

Completely wrong I think you need to research bitcoin scrypt alittle more before blacklisting it. Its brave enough to do what Bitcoin Devs are too scared to do, change the algo to keep mining fairer.

Good to meet you, how would you like to be added as dev? for now i will add as ZackClark70.

Even if he did sell 30k of dgc which I highly doubt at a crazy low price isn't it his prerogative anyway? Also what about all the times Bitcoin has had huge price dumps?? Do people call for the head of the Bitcoin devs?? Nope. I guess we can class Bitcoin as a scamcoin too then? Quite ridiculous stuff from BCX really when you think about it in a fair minded and logical fashion.

What do you guys think, should I just delete the Black list and only listen to Positive Statements? and add them?

There are some coins that I am sure need to be blacklisted but that is not what this thread is all about,..

Speculation and heresay that would not hold up in court. Next.

I think there must be some test period (for new coins with theoretically good future), for example 2-3 months, before they'll be white/black-listed.

Yep i'd delete black/gray lists anything that has a shadow over it i wouldn't add it to the whitelist, in saying that there will be those who lie and give false accusations about some coins so they are not added.

Klondikecoin deserves to be on the whitelis.

I don't mind how you put it :) my name is Zack Clark so you can drop the 70 if you like :)

Lol your saying lock it because of bullshit yet your the one peddling most of it in this thread? hahaha laughable.  ;D

Lock the thread and delete the blacklist... just the whitelist. I deleted my blacklist comments.

Mintcoin should be added to white list, it should start to gain traction in the market soon and has a very good future

website and more info
http://mintcoin.cc/

I need reasoning.

And ,

its catch 22, I am trying to discern which coins are ethical and have valid justification, but I guess everycoin is going to provide reasoning for their existence,..

And regarding Baritus, he could have just as easily dumped all those coins and made up something to justify that,..

but who is to say, so at this point, I want to just add the coins that people are providing positive compelling arguments but that could just as easily mislead people when in fact some shady stuff is going on with the coin and it in fact should be discredited, there is no real way to tell, you guys see the what im saying right?

bcx may be right, maybe I should have just moderated the thread and use my own judgement,..

What I will do for now is continue posting both sides of the story as I am doing.

Yeah right whatever you say, I'm sure he lives in Japan too. More wild unsubstantiated speculation. FYI BCX and Bozo The Clown are the same people.  :D



Hahha yeah like a jury is going to believe that rubbish. Its speculation and you know it. What about Bitcoin? You going to accuse the devs of dumping bitcoin too after all the dumps previously lol.

Do you have any other coins you would like to talk about or are you just going to rant on endlessly about Digitalcoin?

Could you please post the block chain analysis, I am genuinely interested in this.

I think all altcoins will be added in the whitelist. There is always a good reason for something. I think its best that you add specific rules that you want to be added in the whitelist.

whitelist

Sexcoin  > for the adult market and has a dedicated dev team / an expanding user base

that is why I suggested a points system so each negative thing takes away points and each positive thing adds points

less than 0 points is blacklisted

0 points is grey listed

1+ points is whitelisted


all you need is a list of good and bad things for each coin

I am sure it would help people see what coins are better as they would have higher points and it would encourage devs to do more to get there points up

just an idea but it worth thinking about
 

What do people think about Worldcoin? I'm a bit on the fence with them after the Sharmbeck debacle. They see do seem to have some interesting projects being worked on though.

I agree, so what I am going to do is add all of the comments so people can see what all of the coins have to offer, some have a more extensive list than others, which may make them more worthy, so,

I think that the way this is going is just fine, everyone that buys digital coin should know about what some people are saying about the coin and the possibility of the coin being dumped like that rather than them having no clue about it,..

This makes people justify the coins they support and lets people see what is so good about them, hopefully they can make the decision on their own so all of this is valuable information for a newb that might just be hopping on an exchange looking for a coin to invest in.

bitcoin scrypt also meets all the criteria listed in the title  "For Real Coins☆With Real Devs☆With Real Goals " has all 3.

and in the opening statement you clearly state "A coin cannot be whitelisted or blacklisted just because of its name." hmmmm

Sure, but if you don't verify these claims people will write anything to make their coin look good. Even a vote system would only lead to the biggest community of bagholders having the 'whitest' coin.

The only way to do this is by doing the research, then making your own choices on what to add to the list and hope the community accepts you as a fair and reasonable arbiter of shitcoinery.

Why invest in POP?

★ Because We are working to lift the entire CryptoCurrency Community into the Hands of Popular Culture by giving them an easy way to buy into the market.

★ We have a strong community of miners that have been mining for two months and have just got on our first exchange so there is plenty to go around and its going for cheap!
★ https://cryptorush.in/index.php?p=trading&m=POP&b=BTC  

★ There are less than 1 billion Coins in existence right now which is 1/90 to IFC so theoretically the Price should be 90 X IFC which would put us at 810 satoshi

★ I am designer/co-dev (CryptoJet) giving a presentation and this years Crypto Currency Convention http://www.cryptocurrencyconvention.com/ also,
★ just input promo code "POP" for 1/2 off your entry ticket to the convention, that saves you $100

★ We are doing extensive polling to find out what exactly Popular Opinion is within the Crypto Community

★ Mining is extremely fun and there is even a Super Epic Reward of 100,000X Coins every 9,999 blocks

★ We have an Art Design By an Award Winning Artist that even met Niel Armstrong (landed on the Moon) Joe Jones http://airmail-greetings.com/about_the_artist.php

★ Not only are we looking to lift the entire Crypto Currency Community we are also looking to benefit the entire world

★ We had 0 premine and are Not Looking dump our coin and abandon our community, we are in it for the Long Haul

★ We even Have a Featured Artist Every three months on our website!

Take a Look!

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=444745.new#new

We are even a Hosted Coin on CryptoCoin Talk!  https://cryptocointalk.com/forum/768-popularcoin-pop/

Agreed! I actually bought some today.

Then give the reasoning, at some point I will research all of this too.

Whitelist Zetacoin:

Main community/background websites:

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=267545.0
http://www.zetacoin.cc
http://nobs.is (ZBAD305)

Twitter:
@zetacoincc
@ZBAD305

Together with Bitcoin and Litecoin it is the main alt coin for http://cryptr.ch

Strong and very open community through ZBAD305,
Multiple large and innovative projects running into getting this coin broadly accepted for real life transactions
A lot of merchants and shops in the queue to start accepting the coin once the Android wallet is released and later on a solid Payment Gateway for Zetacoin will be realised as well

Main goal focuses on real-life (micro)transactions in combination with user-friendly, quickness and ease of use!

This is really an alt-coin to keep an eye on and has the best intentions for the crypto/digital currency era we are heading into.

Pointless exercise. No-one gives a fuck about your list  ::)

So you put it in the blacklist without even researching it....nice  ::)....sounds a tad like when they banned it here.

Really this doesn't make any sense whatsoever, it tends me to believe you have no clue what you are doing or at least have no clue where a coin value is based on and depends off :)

Don't get me wrong, i'm not saying your intentions are bad, but to make such a pointless and based on nothing point to get a coin whitelisted in this thread is just very odd.

Obviously they do, and obviously you do, you cared enough to post in this thread whether its love or hate.

If you are so sincere, why dont you provide a list even close to as comprehensive as I have put together with this list in one night?

This list will continue to grow and we will have valuable data regarding all of the Alt Coins out there.

So what is your coin, what are the valid points of it??

I had just posted that comment in another thread and copy and pasted it into this thread because it mostly fit with what is going on here,..

But, how do you not get the numbers there?  Its pretty cut and dry, I am basing the numbers off total population, right now there are 1,000,000,000 POP in existence and 90,000,000,000 IFC in existence thats 1 POP for every 90 IFC so if Ifc is worth 1 satoshi then 1 POP would be worth 90 satoshi, thats all I am saying, if you want to base it off total supply, there will be 19,999,999,999 POP and there are 90,000,000,000 IFC so that would be 1/4.5 so if IFC is at 9 satoshi then POP with total supply would be 9x4.5=40.5

Its basic math based strictly off the numbers of each coin, that is how I have always traded for the most part, based off the population.

Understand, I dont want you to be mad or think im an idiot, I was just doing the math for you,.

So basically you say if you bring out a coin with max 21M coins then it will be worth equal to 1BTC, cause the total amount equals that of BTC.. Thats basically what kind of math you are doing at the moment. Sorry but it really doesn't make sense.. If a coin never gets used and will be totally ignored it will be worth 0,0000000 anything if its going to be mainstream it will skyrocket higher then we ever think possible now, its not about the amount of coin its about the demand of the coin vs how much is available at a certain time.

anyway if ya want to get a discussion out of this then this is not the thread to do it.. lets keep it clean and OT as much as possible.. PM me if you think you are still right :p cheers m8

haha, i am pretty good at researching and I will research all of the claims that people are making about the whitelist, in fact, I am going to add a statement of [verified] or [unverified]

Check this out,.. You will probly think this interesting - https://cryptocointalk.com/user/9701-vlad2vlad/  https://cryptocointalk.com/topic/124-ixcoin-ixc-information/ doesnt say anything about 0 premine so I would assume that yes premine, however, i am not seeing the correlation between oldminer and Nasakioto at this point,..

So what is the correlation between Vlad2Vlad and Nasakioto, are they partners?

You're being far too liberal with your whitelist here.

NXT is 100% premine scamcoin & closed source.

Any premined coins should go on the blacklist, imo.

you missed

vertcoin

darkcoin

huntercoin

and heavy also

Blacklist

Quark, adds nothing useful & is un-mineable now, another pump & dump scamcoin.
Auroacoin, pump & dump scam, no innovation
Vertcoin, yet another scryptcoin, nothing new

wasn't doge premined?

I come close to agreeing with you after finding that is is affiliated with ripple, however, here is the "" source https://bitbucket.org/JeanLucPicard/nxt/src/ and it is being mined so it couldnt be 100% premined.

I need more reasoning for all of those.

more blacklist

mintcoin, just a ppc clone
zetacoin, teacoin, potcoin again nothing new

Blacklist: Rapidcoin
Massive premine, logo/gfx stolen from another internet site, bribed CoinMarket.io to list it immediately, then dumped the premine and disappeared.

huntercoin looks promising, new mining method, looks game/activity-based http://huntercoin.org/how-to-mine/human/ The devs do seem to be pretty active on that & have contributed some useful code.

blacklist Aphrodite Coin & any other premined national based scamcoin, Auroracoin & all it's clones.

Why?

They're an obvious premined pump & dump scam, not everybody in a country is going to care about getting their obscure scammy alt-cryptos, so the premined coins are just going to be kept by developers & get dumped on anybody stupid enough to buy.

Digitalcoin's checkpoints are nothing new either, that's another innovation lifted from PPC.

you need more reason for huntercoin?

You forgot DigiByte

Earthcoin, kittehcoin, eccoin and mintcoin

Pointless exercise loudest voices will just get their bags whitelisted  ::)

Good effort OP.

Obviously whitelist: Darkcoin and Anoncoin

Reasons for both: active devs, active community, trying to innovate with new privacy and security features

Whitelist DigiByte [DGB] - its dev developed DigiShield, it's being used in other coins, the community is vast, prices stable, got on Mintpal & Cryptsy. I also like Emoticoin [EMO], it got its total coin amount reduced according to the people's request and got onto Mintpal. But I'm not really into that one, instead, I'd vote for DGB personally.

+1000

NO

Mintcoin should be whitelisted.

1.It has has been set up as a legal fund (like a foundation).
2. We have developed over 25 markets for the coin.
2. Great community support
4. Active development. Will work on android app that is compatible with PoS, which is a significant technical hurdle and innovation.

+1

* Darkcoin has invented a new hashing algo that fixes problems KGW. DGW is now being copied by other coins.
* Darkcoin uses x11 hashing which uses 30%-50% less power than scrypt while being effective and simple to deploy.  This is now being copied by other coins.
* Darkcoin is maintaing an anti-asic stance and a focus on decentralization. Even Adam Back whose hashcash is used in the Satoshi paper is worried about bitcoin centralisation and the ease with which governments can now get court orders and impact the bitcoin network.
* Darkcoin is implementing DarkSend which is anonymity from the blockchain from within the wallet. The average person will be able to send payments without their details being linked to transactions next week, next year or 20 years from now.
* Darkcoin miners are mining and keeping their coins, not mining and trading them in for bitcoin.
* Darkcoin is making all its improvements open source and other alt-coins are now starting to follow its lead.
* Darkcoin wants to enable all other coins to interact with its anonymity features, it doesn't want to compete with them. Darkcoin is a catalyst.

Which bit of the above doesn't merit attention?

Actually, as a darkcoin miner, I'd rather you didn't put it on the list just yet. That is what you would call the anti pump-n-dump supporter.

Which altcoin released the first multipool paying in altcoins? Was it blackcoin, litecoin, or another one?
blackcoin; add it
litecoin: update it
another one: add it

Add on grey list if it is its only virtue. arguably whitelist if it very recent and money-making

IMHO

Hobonickles HBN should be on the whitelist. Small but supportive community, Dev is awesome.  He's working on alot of good stuff, for example his RasberryPi client software.
I dont know what code is just copied and what he brought in himself but he knows what features are nice and gets them working before being implemented on any other coins I know of. If you have questions he's there to answer them.
You might want to take a look at: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=303749.0
This is not a 0 post dev who made another pump and dump coin and moves onto the next when he sucked some btc from some people. The community doesnt whine about prices which is also realy refreshing when you read through the posts.
I hope someone with more insight into the technical stuff will post here aswell as for me this is the most overlooked coin out there.

Also DRK might be a canditate. And Myriad coin. As I dont know if they were the inventors of their unique features and properties I leave it to someone else to explain or get them on the whitelist.

And I would like to add that you shouldnt measure the usefullness of a coin just on a small technical innovation but also by its community and developers. At least for me those 2 are the most important part.
I'm a miner. When I mine a coin I dont think about getting rich quick so I dont mine purely on profit, althou I made some good deals along the way.

You are obviously biased here.

* Quark has no pre-mine
* Quark was the first coin to use multi-algo in a random fashion
* Quark has comperent and active dev
* Quark has a huge community
* Quark is still very minable

This is simply misinformation - thanks for that.

Quark had a different distribution model - just because you can't mine it profitably now doesn't mean that coin is a scam. Those two things are not equivalent. There was no premine, it was just mostly mined with the first 6 months. This is a benefit for investors - it means that the low number of new Quarks created keeps the cost of maintaining a value level low.

Quark is Whitelist

We have a broad variety of infrastructure being created - we now have payment processors (litepaid.com), a mobile wallet on google play, an auto-mining wallet that supports our network, and we are very actively working with companies to add new services. We are going to be added to moolah's prelude within the next day or two (https://prelude.io/), and possibly to their whole platform dependent on interest.

Innovation
-Quark is secure - It has 9 rounds of hashing, including 3 at random from 6 hashing algorithms, requiring all 9 rounds to be broken, including the 3 random rounds only decided on at the time of block generation to be copromised
- Quark is fast enough with 30s block times to allow potentially for in store payments with fast confirmation times.
- We have an auto-mining wallet that uses a small amount of your cpu power to automatically support the network while open. This can be turned off if you want (http://www.qrk.cc/press/)

Quark has a great community that is continuing to CREATE infrastructure and build value. All alt coins have lost value with BTC being hammered recently - Quark is no different. However, we are intent on building value. Come see our efforts on reddit (http://www.reddit.com/r/QuarkCoin/) and on our official press page (http://www.qrk.cc/press/).

Vertcoin. First scrypt-adaptive-Nfunc

+1

you should also add the metacoins for bitcoin,

counterparty/xcp and mastercoin/msc

they are somewhat building financial markets on top of bitcoin, great developer, promising and innovative

Agree! Darkcoin real Innovation coin,more info can look whitepaper:http://www.darkcoin.io/downloads/DarkcoinWhitepaper.pdf (http://www.darkcoin.io/downloads/DarkcoinWhitepaper.pdf)

How can you put GPUcoin with a 5% premine on this "white list", but you keep off vertcoin and execoin, both of which have 0% premine and did much more to popularize the n-scrypt algorithm that gpu coin uses. GPU coin still hasn't opened their store yet, i.e. there's still a significant probability it's all a vaporware scam. You're whitelist just looks lazy. Does it happen to coincide with all the coins you own?

Pawncoin made the 'Official Whitelist.' LOL  ;D

Today's reading has been very entertaining - keep up the great work!

Hopefully that is sufficient grounds to view mintcoin as a legitimate cryptocurrency and get it whitelisted.

BTW I think the whitelist is a significant development for the altcoin community and a good idea.

Remove the word 'Official' since there's nothing even remotely authentic or official about this list. It's a freely contributed forum thread and not official in any sense of the word.

agreed, good point

Keep official. It's an official list done by the forum BCT Altcoin community.

Maybe we should have a Pope - ordained by God Himself who can directly translate His wishes and decide which coins gets 'officially' recognized on behalf of the silent majority.

I've got to be honest, these threads are scaring me a little bit because of the amount of regression they're showing.  ;D

Replace "official" with "reference". Official carries a certain weight (including warranty) that reference doesn't. And everyone's happy.

You got it. It's safe to say many forum posters here routinely overstep their authority in every sense of the word.

If someone's going to make a thread and decide which coins (like 2 day old IPO Pawncoin) are 'whitelisted' they should at least be somewhat sincere and not misleading.

Otherwise this could quickly be labeled another 'scam' thread started by 'scammers' to mislead people and direct investment to a short-list of 'chosen' coins. Of course these coins will have been chosen for their direct financial reward of those making the list.

I don't fancy quark either, but please give the blacklisting a better reasoning.

The main point of critique is actually the instamine and the ridiculous fast block halving after about a month, if I remember correctly. The coin was designed to give the people that heard early enough about it a huge mining advantage and then proceeded to pump the coin when the coin was almost fully mined after only 6 months. This is not an attempt to design a widely-spread and adaptable cryptocurrency. I am not hating against the coin design itself, just the mining aspect which is just mad.

Quark is cheap right now - you can easily mine anything else and convert to it.... Just because direct mining isn't as profitable these days doesn't mean its inaccessible! Also, again - low number of new Quark/day means a cheap cost to maintain coin valuation.

Vic

Not a very accurate list
In fact looks more like a noobee's bagholdings  ::)
Where's Darkcoin and Megacoin?
2 of the best Devs and coins without a doubt.
Others TEK and HBN. TEK dev made HBN btw.
Your gridcoin is very much a copy of ripple so u would need ripple there.
Einsteinium I would much prefer over gridcoin.
Not sure your reason for zetacoin is viable.
Goldcoin is no way deserving to be anywhere near this list at all.
TIPS? Lol
Popular coin? see above.

Everybody have their opinion of what is good and what is bad. I would just let the market decide of what is valuable and what is not. Most pump and dump coin ends up in low volume of less than 1 btc trading a day.

Mi votes up for Dogecoin (already white) and Mintcoin.
Serious developers, mature community; both in Moolah.io payments/storefront/exchange system.
Both developing a Fundation/Fund like Bitcoin, with clear and specific targets.
Im user of both and im happy with both. Consider this post a "like" in facebook terms, or a +1 in ebay terms hehe.

This list is such a silly idea. All you have to do is look at any coin recommendation threads here, or threads about coins to invest in, and see what happens. You get a million diverse opinions, very few valid ones, and mostly positive comments about coins that the person posting just happens to own.

No, this thread is a good idea. GTFO if you do not like it.

You guys seen Dimecoin? Im the new dev. In the past week we were added to https://bittrex.com/ (https://bittrex.com/) and are about to be on ex-crypto.com! Check out our thread. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=446388.0 (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=446388.0)

This is the most worthless and misleading thread ever.  :)

Darkcoin needs to be on the Whitelist for sure, if anything, in my opinion it is the #1 Altcoin that deserves to be on the whitelist, for the following reason:

- Features for increased anonymity (Darksend)
- Different algorithm which is ASIC resistant, gives a higher hashrate and uses less power
- One of the best devs I've seen in the crypto world

Also, I am not sure about some of the coins on the Whitelist, for example GPUCoin... I witnessed the launch and nothing worked. Did they recover from that or relaunch?

PS:
Any country coin should instantly be put on blacklist, it is the current scamming scheme of crypto, they will do it with every country until they are all used up and then think of a new scamming scheme

And what if said country coin pays out coins to the people they say they will? Some already have, or have feasible plans to do so.

That doesn't even make a difference. You can't just go look at the world map, pick a country that has a bad economy, and be like "hey, let's make a coin for that country!". They are democracies. 99,9% don't even want a cryptocurrency, hell, most people don't even KNOW cryptocurrencies, you can't just force it down their throats. If anything, a country coin should get started by an organisation in the country itself, and backed up by the people with a democratic vote on an internet site or something.

How would you feel if I came to your town, claiming I am a dev, with a bag of colored rocks, and I spread the colored stones between everyone and tell them to use them as a currency? Because that's how it's like for almost every citizen of all these country coins.

People are abusing the economic weakness of certain countries to scam two kinds of people, pump and dump bagholders who join with the intent of making a profit but end up holding the bag, and the 0,000001% of people who are from that country and hope for the better, but still end up with a failure and lose even more money even though they are already poor.

Can we blacklist Delete coin? They are intentionally targeting Dimecoin. MY PROJECT!!!!!!!!  >:( >:( >:(

To a certain degree I agree with you. I don't believe many (or any) nation coins will really catch on or make a big difference. I differ with your definition of a scam though.

If a dev makes a nation coin, promises a certain amount of coins to said population, then delivers ... it's not a scam.

If a dev came to my town with colored rocks, said to use them as currency, and told me I could cash them in for real currency, I'd happily take them. And then cash them in. Of course as more people do this, their value will go down. But it's still free currency. Personally I believe devs have a right to make whatever coins they want, so long as they are upfront with how they plan to give them away, and deliver. And not all nation coins are abusing economic weaknesses of certain countries ... HongKong Coin and Silicon Valley (which really aren't nations, but they sort of get lumped into the same class of coins), certainly aren't economically weak.

But isn't the point of a CryptoCURRENCY to be used as a currency? If the coins get delivered, that's nice and everything is good up to that point. But then the coins get sold by the citizens for their country's fiat, and that isn't doing anything to help their situation. In fact, they are just hurting their economy even more by bringing (soon to be worthless) digits into their country, and "steal" some fiat money from other people who buy it hoping that it can change the bad state of their economy long-term.

For me to consider a countrycoin as legit and not a scam is when the people launching it are going to long-term support the citizens of the country to actively use it as a currency. Work on projects  (with the help of the devs), try to offer goods and services for it. Not just give it to them and tell them to sell it so they can have some extra pocket money, and then that's the end of the project for the devs? And the citizens will be left with a soon-to-be-nothing in their hands. Sure, I get your point, it is still free money and noone (except bagholders) is losing any money, but... if a dev is "claiming the name" of a country and making a country coin with it, he/they should have the dignity to treat it for more than that. After all, the devs make a lot of money with this because they can dump as they see fit. They should have connections to non-governmental organizations, official, public engagement with the citizens over the internet, a ton of translators etc...

tl;dr country coins should aim to help a country and not be treated as pump and dump; they are abusing the name/economic state of the country to launch a project for quick profit, bringing false hopes for some citizens, which is scammy

I can't disagree with most of your points, but when you think about it, what percentage of cryptos have a real chance of being used as a currency? Many don't even pretend to be used as a currency. I wouldn't call them scams. I'd call them really bad ideas, but not scams.

As for the nation coins, there are situations where some could possibly be used by the community. Maza, for instance ... not that I think the creators are doing a good job (quite the opposite), but it is possible that Indian groups could take it up. Payu certainly seems to be trying to get merchants to adopt it. There is also the possibility that a nation coin could be adopted after a giveaway, even if just small scale with a handful of local merchants.

If you ask me if this is likely... nope. And if you ask me if nation coins are a good idea, I'd say nope. But I wouldn't automatically blacklist all of them, thinking they are all automatically scams. I'm against this blacklist/shitcoin group thing to begin with, but there is a real danger in saying coins are definitely a scam, before a scam is even committed. It'd be like arresting someone who looks like a criminal, before a crime is committed.

I expect the nation coin fad will die out on its own, regardless, after several nation coins have a problem with their airdrops. Or a coin doesn't do an airdrop at all. I think common sense would indicate that very few of these coins will work out or are worth holding onto longterm.

So you started the thread just to add PopularCoin to the list?

Yet Doge which was monumental in what it achieved doesn't make the cut?

 ::)

Reread OP, Doge is white-listed obvious.

Anoncoin should be added.
It have:
- It was the first one anonymous cryptocurrency
- Support connecting via TOR and i2p
- It does communicative dev team
- It will support zercoin in very near future (tests are coming at days - there is a documentation, a announcement to pool owners and future testers )
- It will support native i2p in near future.

Also where is the chinese translation of your list? Oh that's right the chinese don't care about the list. Got it!

Official? Please show me where the community gave you the status official. You are as official as "The Bitcoin Foundation" represents the whole Bitcoin community. A better title would be

Also dogecoin on the whitelist? -shakes head- Man. It's a shitty coin with no supply limit. It's worth should be 1 satoshi, max. The only reason the price is so "high" is because people believe in it and idiots "invest" in it. Also, what goal does dogecoin has? Please enlighten me.

But well, that is my (most likely unpopulair) opinion.

what do u guys think about verticoin, ultracoin and blackcoin? are those in whitelist, blacklist or greylist?  can u give the reason why also?

what about fatecoin? is it scramcoin also?

Look you ain't gonna like this, but fuck it.

This thread is just troll-bait to idiots like BCX and others calling on blacklisting coins they are not holding. 

The amount of shitcoins out there i stupid, its killing the alts market at present.  Plus it already has had a profound effect of prices.  Some of these coins are nothing but P&D's and are made solely for profit.  But in the spirit of Bitcoin and being open, its a free market.  FREE MARKET

For this we have to pay the price of ridiculous coins coming out with no thought whatsoever.  They WILL die out, we must hold back and let nature run its course.  Its evolution, some coins released use diff algos and some have different ways of working... and although they are not all great, some inspire other coins.  Its innovation and evolution.

By nazi stomping any new coins is against the free spirit of the Bitcoin protocol.  Its like the big copyright holders trying to limit the supply of information and not allowing innovation.  Throughout history they have tried to do this.  The printing press was called evil when it appeared way back in history.  Those who has imposed limits on things by copyrighting or controlling  have set back others form creating great things.  It empowers us.  Such as Linux and the FSF, many in developing countries could not create great programs or use these tools to help their business.   Out of 100 of these shitcoins there are a few diamonds in the rough.  We must let the others run there course and die out.  Some already are.  This is a new concept and could and is changing the foundations of the financial history.  By creating a list that can be influenced for the bad you run risk of killing some good ideas and great innovation to our community.

Also this official whitelist thread is bullshit.  Who made you king of the crypto?  Get the fuck out.

+1 except for the end we should also let these kids have their opinion and let themselves feel good about it, they are only trying to also play the game and hope that  a new sucker buys into a "white-list" coin. : )

At the end of the day it's upto the individual to decided what coin to invest in or mine etc. the op made this thread i believe in a sensible manner listing the pro's & cons for coins out there, a whitelist or a general guide for coins is definitely needed with all the scammers, hackers and extortionists roaming around.

 

What's with that Iron Cross symbol next to the word 'Official?' LOL  ;D

Doge was an example over the mans own coin PopularCoin!!

forget it, its a terrible list !!

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=309629.0

Linking to Hazard's blog? He is definitely a reliable source!

Back on topic: I think memecoin should be on the white list because it was developed by Muddafudda and uses a Guy Fawkes mask as its logo. 

No need to start a self moderated thread.  Just delete most of BCX posts = no more bullshit.

DGC is not a pump and dump coin since there was no premine or instamine.  There will be a lot of services develop for it and will be more useful than any other coins out there.  What it's not is innovative but useful. 

DGC dev has NO pump and dump coins (more bullshit from BCX). 

Crypt Keeper, this statement:  "Shady dev recently sold $30,000 of his own coins while soliciting investors, Developer has numerous other pump and dump coins, Conflict of interest being exchange owner and coin dev"
should be removed from the OP since it hasn't been proven.  Just more BS from BCX.  I know BCX been around the block and has done good.  I did have a lot of respect for the guy.  But after seeing all the trolling and bullying, lost all respect.  BCX is nothing but a bully and a lot of people do fear him and take everything he says as the truth. 

So BCX, if you can prove your case about baritus, then I will eat my words and apologize and if not, STFU...


-tb-

This thread is messed up. I will just make a thread that organized the cryptocurrency.

I. Innovative Coin - Must have ingenuity (Ingenuity is the quality of being clever, original, and inventive, often in the process of applying ideas to solve problems or meet challenges), written from scratch by the developer, and have future plans/developments/updates.

II. Alter-ego Coin (made up word, i am not sure what to call this) - coins that are copied from the innovative coins with a little to none added features, but the specifications are changed which includes but not limited to Algorithm,  Re-target block, Block Time, Initial Block Reward, Block halving, Max Supply, and Premine.

III. Successful IPO coin - Business oriented coin that used the IPO to get capital for the specific business.

IV. IPO scam coin - like stackcoin

V. Fontas coin - pump and dump coins

VI. Shitcoins - coins that was made just to add in the number of altcoins.

I am too lazy to write all this coins... can someone make a thread like this and make sure its moderated?

guys a website was used to solve this problem. Go to this thread https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=528271.0

It's not completely an IPO coin as you call it it's been revised in many ways and it's still in development.

The marketplace will decide what coins are scam coins, not some list.

graylist with high potential for white list: dopecoin

reasoning: active developer with reach, already featured on Fox news

Downside: as always, could be a scam

::)

i thought namecoin was 1st before litecoin.

I got a better idea. How bought you self righteous iliterate bitches don't write any more threads?

Your opinion means fuck all and these threads are fucking boring.

How about... NO!!!

hahahaha.. that was the point of making threads like this. If you can't take it then its your problem. We simply voice our opinion about shitcoins. I really do not care about opinion of a newbie like you.

I have full support to all the threads that stops the shitcoin. If you like shitcoin then you can have all of them.

I saw that you have supported some of the shit coins... i understand your biased opinion.

You missed out shit coin from the black list.

However, it was designed as a yard stick to ensure any shitter coin is easy to spot.

Does that mean it should be on the white list?

add HBN, SUN, CGA
