Title: [NO ANN] Buzzcoin most likely a scam
Post by: mycryptocoin on August 11, 2014, 01:24:28 AM
Hey,

just a quick warning, I noticed a new coin called Buzzcoin is getting some paid votes (https://blockchain.info/address/12TpL2mv2H8oPjPji4RXdYmeuzNyiT8oU9) on the Coins-E exchange (https://www.coins-e.com/).

Afaik it has no bitcointalk ANN. You can find the official page here (http://www.buzz-coin.com/). Don't know if related, empty twitter account here (https://twitter.com/BuzzCoin).
There is no source listed, but with a quick github search you get to https://github.com/joebuzz/BUZZ/ which is most likely the coin. Litecoin readme and stuff still there.

They only listed one node on their site, which does not work currently. (ping address 24.55.192.234) That means nobody interested in mining this coin can do so.

From what I can read from the source it has a 30 minute block time, 9500 coin block reward that halfes every 550000 blocks.

Either the people behind it are just stupid or they want to create a "Buzz", haha, after solomining this thing like forever.

I might be wrong here, but if not, don't let those people fool you

Could be. Haven't heard of a recent one, though.

I don't think it's a scam, unless its another buzz coin. i've heard it has an active dev and really good rewards for stacking. but DYOR
