Yet I'm the only one to call them out as scammers? Come on, how do you expect future customers of theirs will find this thread?

Not sure if trolling but maybe it is educative to the one or the other:

In Bitcoin you don't spend coins or "from addresses" but "from transactions" (and miners may also spend new coins into existence).

This said, if the 1Ƀ was accumulated over time and the 50Ƀ in XXX were accumulated over time, they are really many transactions and not one address that you could spend.
Assume that XXX got transaction X1, X2 and X3.
Now that you send 1Ƀ there you create just another X4 and X1 – X4 are now spendable if you have the private key to XXX.
To send 5Ƀ from XXX to YYY you could send a new transaction Z1 consisting of X1 or X2 and X4 and if none of your addresses contains exactly 5Ƀ + fee, you end up with some left over that you could either send to a new address of yours, or back to YYY.

So bitcoins are actually never in addresses but in transactions and the private key of the recipient of the transaction can create new such transactions.

this "address" is simply 0/0 because "Relayed By" is "Unknown".

Guess it's time more users take the effort and document their findings here

OMG as if it makes a difference. If I invent a coin and call it Bitcoin, will you sue me? And if my Bitcoin grows stronger than your favorite Pandacoin, would it not qualify to be listed? I find it actually fun to see several coins with the same name. The name should not be an identifier. 

I'm not worried about my unencrypted wallets on their server. I'm worried about my encrypted wallets on my client. With this Java applet to access the management console they have read access to the file system the browser runs on and that is why I made sure to let that be a virtual machine.

(I'm not sure how security models changed but like 15 years ago I made a java applet and was *shocked* that all it took was a self-signed applet to access the full disk of whoever used my applet. Flash asks for permissions. Java apparently not. How can that be?)

Thanks to joesmoe2012, I am a customer at digitalocean now. I asked them if they would take bitcoins and when they said they wouldn't and after I learned about how big they are, BITVPS got back to me after this most recent 15h down time.
James sincerely apologized for the trouble this one machine has and offered to give me back my money and provide a new server for a full year free of charge.
I honestly don't think they use this java console to steal my bitcoins but they could (if I wouldn't care to sandbox it) and that is not ok, so for now I appreciate the compensation but still can't suggest to the general public to give them a try.

Make a git repository. Seriously. Define some machine readable format and you will get pull requests for all coins in no time.

Name = Bitcoin
Exchanges = [bitstamp](http...) [...](...) ...
Features = [PoW](...) SHA256 "Satoshi Nakamoto"
Tickerscript = var bla=...;
...

Of course you would have to investigate the pull requests but the coin fans would provide all this for free and would most likely help to the point that you only need to accept pull requests to get whole new coins.

I assume you are talking about this. Yeah, looks neat. Is the management console some java app or can I log in using a normal ssh in recovery mode? … doh. They don't accept bitcoin

Oh, they look really promising! Asked them to accept bitcoin Thanx for the pointer.

Ok, so they got the server back online with a loopback device. Hooray. Unfortunately rebooting doesn't work again.
As I really don't want to run some shady java app on my pc where I have bitcoins, especially when the shady java app comes from a shady bitcoin-aware hoster, I set up a virtual machine to use the management console.
If, after logging in successfully, I try to do the most basic stuff, namely an "ls", it disconnects. I made up something even more basic: "# hi" which "works" but "ls" kills it again. And again.

Fuck how do they have even one client?

Ok, thanks for letting us know. It would be great to have either some way to let people know that this thread is not worth their time or to have transparent rules of what may be posted or what not.

Add to your site some form mailer to request to be added for the less geeky shop owners and please ask bitpay to advertise this to all its clients. In fact bitpay should offer to add them anyway free of charge.

OMG how can people get this wrong collectively. The suggestion would only require to confirm ownership every some years, not to spend them. This would be anonymous and will come anyway in a sense as soon as the current algos become unsafe.

I suggest you outsource the data mining about new coins to a git repository that people can fork and do pull requests like it is done on prism-break.org or bitcoin.org events page. With that in place you could moderate away all these repetitive "Please add my coin" posts. Another option would be to ask them to pm you and again forbid/moderate them away.

The other threads with a similar focus here contain mostly noise of 10-100 people requesting for their fav coin to be added each. I suggest you moderate away all this noise as it's not about your list but about having this particular coin being promoted through this thread and your service. Ask them to send PMs or better to fork your list of coins on github, add their coin and make a pull request. This could be just a folder of files that follow a certain format like it is done for bitcoin events or for prism break

Bumping this thread to hear how things changed for the better or worse. And to tell how my story with them went so far:

Since less than one week I have a VPS at bitvps. The $20/month one.

The first IP was blacklisted. "Danger! Scammers ahead", so I requested a new IP.
They gave me a new IP some days later. Meanwhile my developer setup tomcat, database, frontend frameworks and some custom code. Both kunagi and my app was running. As per my requirement, those should come up after a reboot, so I rebooted. Not only my stuff did not come back online but neither sshd or ping. My server was dead. Their management console works with a JAVA applet which rises 10 red flags with me, so I straight gave them a second ticket to fix their server (and meanwhile asking my dev if he might have touched anything that might kill the server).
They said the network stack was broken and they could give me a new server with a backup of my old server. WTF? Seriously? Also they suggested to use the console, so I setup a virtual machine with a free java which failed to run any applet after don't know how many hours of work but anyway …
Two days later they informed me that my server was back online. I informed my developer that the server was back online and as all my attempts to start my stuff on that server were in vain, I asked him to make stuff come up on reboot.
His analysis was that stuff doesn't work due to the lack of a loopback device and asked me to fix that. I assume this might be fixable on our own but shouldn't be like that in the first place, so to not mess with their network stack, this is ticket #4 now.

Yeah, when the moronic hard working scammers rather dispute indisputable $10 claims for a year than to finally pay it out, they might deserve some haters.
You have my claim and you refuse to pay out. Others have more at stake and will come after you now. Eventually my claim will be worth paying some professional help in getting my money back at the other end of the globe, soon. I'm sure by then there will be some precedent regarding your business conduct.

Review and feature requests:

Today I found your site and see it much ahead of the others. I would though wish to see some more functionality:

• favicon
• the green "i" next to "Pos." totally confused me. Please add some tooltip as getting a full page refresh with a prominent donation address after the list getting redrawn for a split second (the sort by pos triggers as well) looks like a pay wall at first
• the tooltips in the charts are a great feature but the 7 days chart snapping in at 9 positions doesn't compute to actual dates easily. Please either show a timestamp as well, or make it snap to exactly 7 positions. Apparently this tooltip doesn't show always?
• seeing coins having lost(/gained) position due to coins being added(/removed?) is confusing at first. Maybe the list should claim the new entering coin had been in this position since 30 days and not make all coins below red as they did not actually slip down but never were that far up due to missing information. I guess new coins massively being added will be a trend for at least another year.
• Your mined %% chart is totally killer! Love it. Please add some more granularity to it. For me there is not just premine and acutal mining but a whole scale in between. A coin that is mined to 100% in 6 months is a straw fire coin to me (if equal to bitcoin otherwise) as it incentivizes mining "before it's too late". Please add either some time scale for the 5%, 10%, 20%, 50% mining points or show the projected %% charts for today, in 30 days, 1 year, 5 years.
• The hover cursor changes to text marker when sorting the list and to arrow when hovering over those tiny little triangles, implying that sorting only works if you hit those 3px by 3px icons.

TIL: Peercoin was only "mined" to 1%??? With pure PoS coins this %% is misleading in a way isn't it? Sure it is complicated to compile such a list without misrepresenting stuff (Oh my god I see this is not trivial. So my current suspicion is that Peercoin as good as I thought it was (not owning any alt-coin at all) has a slight flaw in that the stake mining potential makes one coin more valuable than another and some early adopters keep their old coins to mine later as having less coins in existance boosts the value of the coins? This is partially a conclusion from seeing that peercoin mines sometimes less than one coins and sometimes 104 coins in one block.)

Edit:
Some tooltips are tooltips, others look like overlib tooltips.
You have nice icons "new" and "30" but don't explain them in the tooltip.

"instantly" as in "within minutes". Just be patient. If you go edit OSM and see it without typo, it should work at some point.
