@TheMage
Ok thanks i was not sure if i got that part right.
An update for those who won't read 419 pages (everybody) LOL
Scam ? In crypto ? it can't be.. say it ain't so 

The only thing worse than a scam around here is Spoetnik posting "FUD"
Check out ALT main.. they are on a rampage deleting my topics.. again ..as usual.

You all have no fucking idea how many notifications i get here saying "Your comment was deleted"

ahh well fuck 'em.. their idiots.

I want to discuss here what we can do about this problem.

The Altcoin "scene" is controlled by a majority.
The majority is interested in profit.

THEN.. we see "Dev's" pandering to them with 1,000's of coins.

A vicious cycle.. of greed that is self destructive & short sighted.

Is there anything that can be done ?
I have thought no for a long looooooong time.

I have thought the only thing that can be done is to try talking to you people.
Which apparently the STAFF HERE disagrees with.
You call can see they went on a tangent deleting all my topics.
Seem fair people ?
Did you read the articulate topics i posted lately ?
Have you read the shit staff ALLOW to stay here 24/7 ?
Seems a little fucked up don't it ?

I do not feel like there are many who are on my side telling my side of the story.
SO my comments are rare and i do not make very many topics.
If i make one it is for a DAMN GOOD REASON !

Staff here apparently "know better"  

Are we here to discuss Altcoins or not ?

So what can be done ? Anything ?

PS:
Post fast before MODS here delete this topic of mine.
Their little double standard routine seems to be back with a vengeance on me LOL
1,000 ETH topics ?
Hey.. no problem !
1 Jackpotcoin topic ? Goooooooone.

They ride my ass seriously fucking god damn hard while others get ignored.
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1173703.msg15445496#msg15445496
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=31553

look at that shit and tell me they are "Moderating" LOL
Look at his post history and tell me you don't see a stalker hunting Crestington with 100 million insults.
Me ?
Apparently my criticism of Altcoins is far worse  

Can anything "be done" ? as per topic title
Not when they delete my topics and run around sweeping up that darn pesky "FUD" hahahhah

STAFF ..your bags are showing ROFL  

GOD fucking HELP YOU if you try and "be interesting" with your comments.
I guess i need to act like an ass kissing cock slurping bore pandering to organized crime.
..making ICO scheme coins etc.

Walled garden of scam coin talk .org

The OP abandoned the topic like on page 20 or something..
Early on it got popular and he did not like how it was turning out so he left.
He went and posted a new topic saying this one was hijacked by Trolls etc.
And his new topic said pretty much contact him via PM if you want to join a lawsuit he wanted to start.
ALSO..
BigVern and BitJohn way back then talked to the guy here publicly.
I think if i recall it correctly the OP was locked out of his account because of the inactivity time-out of 6 months.
And he had problems logging back in so he came here and flipped out.
BigVern came here on this topic and said to him..
All you have to do is reset your password.
A little while later, Cryptsy staff / Owner BigVern + BitJohn and others
Said they resolved the matter with the OP privately so the issue is done.
BUT..
THE forum users kept coming here to complain etc.

I hope this is accurate & honest..and helpful

You realize the only thing thing all these people here will "SAY"
Is i agree those other ICO's are ohhhhh soooooo scammy
..but not MINE 

This is about Digital Currencies.
You all choose not to see the correct path / train of thought.
Simply because you want to profit off of them.

ICO's are a great way for the dev etc to snag a huge shitload of coins for themselves.
When they should not get any !

People we are not talking about paying a contract coder to create a software program for you.
We are talking about launching a currency ..and the launch fairness *is* the entire point !

It can not be a currency if the dev holds his hand out and says
i need $250,000.00 usd to create your new decentralized digital CURRENCY.

I have like 20 super long points why ICO's are BAD and i am always thinking of new ones.
But i don't think you guys care.
Think ?
I KNOW you don't !

Go out and research Pyramid / Ponzi schemes.. then come here.

No legit dev should have his hand out "crowd funding"
If you do not have the means to be coding the worlds internet currency
then you should NOT be doing it period .

Do not create a problem on purpose to sell me the solution.
We need a currency ? #6,000+ ?
Solution ? Your money invested into it ?

Has any ICO ever produced a viable currency that innovates over Bitcoin ?
NO ..not even close !
ALL OF THEM have been a pointless cash grab (not a currency) ICO scheme.

I think it hinges on how the starting coins came about.
The US Federal Reserve for example simply fabricates them on demand. (out of thin air)
They are not asking the public to pay them some other already dominating currency
to buy another newer currency.. that ACT alone makes them scammy !
AND no you can not try and wiggle around that.. it is how SCAMS WORK !

WHY ARE WE HERE ?
We all came here years ago to support BITCOIN.
Why ?
For the concept of an open source decentralized digital currency.
This needs to replace the FIAT money not be an add-on scheme to FIAT.
If we NEED fiat to buy say ETH tokens then it can NOT be a currency no matter how hard you try.

A digital currency has to REPLACE FIAT !
It can not if you NEED Fiat to get the damn ICO tokens 
..use your brain people.
And if you are not making a currency then it's just a straight up Pyramid Scheme !

..dig deep people.
I want to see us all peer deep into this stuff and reach down for answers.
We got off track guys !
We came to support a decentralized open source digital currency
and what is the hottest "coin" in town ?

A "coin" that is..
- Centralized.
- Launched closed-source sometimes.
- Not a currency at all.
- Has no innovative / purpose
- A gimmick that is unused.
- Incomplete half-cooked concepts with bits of code / vaporware idea's
- ACTUALLY used for nothing but profit.

People we have failed the point in EVERY aspect possible.
100% Failure.
Bitcoin still reigns King and this will not be changing unless a real coin comes out to rival it.

And what do we see ?
ANOTHER coin.. 6,000 ANN topics here & climbing.
And we have another coin posted with what excuse now ?
It is STILL another coin.. #6,000
So you better have a good excuse.. what is it ?
Oh really ?
Did it already rival Bitcoin or will it ever ?
No, no and no.

Stop ignoring the context & reality of what ACTUALLY is happening here !
Trying to be idealistic about a method of scamming the ICO is a joke !
..don't even bother. 

Did Satoshi say hey give me 1 million dollars
and i will post a project scheme idea that is partially complete ?
BlockNET did with their ICO..
So what do you do when Satoshi decides hey ..know what ?
Fuck it you all already paid me so..screw it.. i am sick or broke my hand or hackers or was raped by a sasquatch or unicorns stole my shoes or BUGZ.. or dem IRC flalws attackin' ma coldz storage'z... 

Hey my ass is itchy.. sorry guys fuck you thanks for the MILLION dollars.
And yeah i know the hosting bill expired and the site is offline.
..i must have forgot to pay it.. as had happened not long with BlockNET 1 yr after the ICO

Know why i bring up the scammy train wreck called BlockNET so much ?
Because i kept saying THIS is the beginning if we don't stop this shit here and now
then it will only get worse.. and since ?
The ICO shit has exploded out of proportion as I PREDICTED !
Not only is launching an ICO scammy but they could not even add 1 innovation to Bitcoin with them !

I WAS HERE WHEN THE FIRST ONE LAUNCHED
and i recall how this whole forum flamed them to death 100%
..you all turned scammy asshole on me.

When i hear the word crowd-sale or crowd-funding or angel-investing or ICO or IPO or ITO
i want to fucking puke !
You people make me sick !

I have buried every ICO-term you all come up with so keep making up new ones.
I will make sure Earth know that no matter how many times they change names
it will always be known as...................... S C A M

This is not the stock exchange fuck your terminology and your white papers.
Using stock market jargon is grooming the crowd here into treating this as penny stocks for crypto.
But this is not the stock exchange so fuck you are scammy bullshit.

No ICO will ever get past me with out FUD unless i see people regularly getting
jail time for "insider trading".. until then you are all on my shitlist !

Yeah i get a kick out of this.. first time i seen anyone ask ever.
And the coin scheme came out in 2014 ROFL

This showcases the priorities of ETH users.. and it sure as fucking hell ain't "APP's" 

@OP
I never heard of one so i have no idea.

I just wanted to add something..

I have always considered most coins to suffer from the centralization problem.
The fact they are anon or not makes no difference.

If one guy holds the keys to Github and 1 guy made it and 1 guy posted it here
then that is not too (de)centralized now is it ?
Centralized exchanges ? Posted on a centralized forum ?

My ONLY point earlier was neither one (or any coin really) is decentralized.

I personally think anon-coins are a bad idea.. so i don't support any of them.
So unlike most of these guy i am not simply bashing one or the other for financial motivations.
I bash them all  
..for my beliefs not for money $$$

Common sense would tell you all that if both groups here kissed & made up
they would both be better off than continuing on with childish drama all the time.
But if that is what they all want then have at 'er.

All i know is i have not had nearly the amount of problems with Dash supporters as i have with Monero supporters.
I don't have Negative Trust Ratings from Dash guys LOL

Problems ?
Admit it.. fix it.. move on.
This has been a massive issue with the Monero users that swirl around the coin.
They insist on pushing a perfect image no matter what shenanigans they are caught up in.
Hell look at this very topic..
The same guys in all the other drama here JUST HAD TO OPEN THEIR MOUTH stiring the pot with drama
again..
These usual Monero suspects *could* have kept their mouth shut and had a bit of class..

Happy Canada Day CANADA POST.. enjoy your strike / Vacation.

As of today they go on strike !

@The Mage LOL
You guys have to SEE what i mean with this guy.. he's fucking nuts.
LITERALLY !

Look at the guys post history here alone (never mind his Troll Box commentary etc)

The part of the brain used for objectivity is missing with that guy.
With so many people involved in Crypto we are bound to get users with mental problems.
But this guy takes the cake.. ALL THE CAKES !

I had been accused of being the nut job by Cryptsy staff & Friends on many o occasion.
I also discussed things with BitJohn and others.
I will lean one way or the other based on mounting circumstantial proof.
And feel i have my certainty driven by a percentage.
For example..
If you are the only guy in the room and the money goes missing ?
I will say you almost certainly didn't i am 99% sure etc
HippieTech will rail on with 100% for life ..even if new info comes to light.
Such as it turns out there was more people in the room we hear later.
It won't matter to him because his mind is made up.. get it guys ?

I am trying to go back on topic with this right here

I long ago had a history with Cryptsy and accusing them of things (like HippieTech)
By i talked with them about it and tried to get them to understand my *personal* perspective.
Close to my previous analogy.
I would often tell BitJohn and others on chat how things *LOOKED* suspicious.
And when ever i was saying "FUD" their cheerleaders would accuse me of acting like HippieTech
And i would say you are not hearing what i said and filling in the blanks time after time.

I think it boils down to what do YOU consider YOU have for proof of Cryptsy's past shenanigans with COINS.
I consider my perspective to be a lot more fair and grounded than HippieTech's

All i have said about Cryptsy is there is a lot of suspicion surrounding them since day 1 like a cloud.
Then you have to weigh it and analyze it and come to YOUR OWN conclusions.
We will all get different results with the "proof" on the table..

Lynching Cryptsy for stuff we can PROVE is fair.
Lynching them for stuff they are NOT guilty of is not.
And many of you out there are dirty.
Ever argue with someone that immediately starts lying like crazy and insulting you to get there way ?
The kind of people that WANT sooo badly to be right and they have such a smug chip on their shoulder
But they don't have the ability to be right so they simply plow on making an ugly mess of drama / bs.

This whole topic is about judging Cryptsy.
Well then.. what is your criteria ?
What do you consider proof of guilt of shenanigans that are dishonest in crypto with Cryptsy ?
There is common sense and then the shit HippieTech the lunatic posts..

Jezuz tap dancing christ your comments are fucking retarded AS USUAL !

Look at page one.. you HYPOCRITE BULLSHITTER

Your Shill Buddy there started it first here..
He had a billboard ad for joining Monero.
So i mocked him for even bringing it up when it was not necessary at all.
So you all went on a tangent with Monero on this topic.
THEN blame them for it.

I am dead serious do you smoke crack or meth buddy ?
Because something is giving you massive god damn brain damage.

LEARN TO READ

Mr i have you on ignore "fungability"

WOWOWOWOW

You got some fucking nerve !

Risto spending MEW donation money on a forum game here with no permission is decentralized ?

WHAT DID I JUST SAY ?

Fuck you guys are scammy ass bullshitters.

@roach
I have no damn idea LOL
And i think we are *usually* on the same page around here..
But if you want my advice avoid ALL anon-coins no matter which one.

Both Monero & Dash have a proven history of working as stated by the OP
There for your ALL full of shit here and your SECURITY is once again compromised
by a CENTRALIZED figure.
(among countless other reasons)

Supporting ANON coins is simply a stupid naive foolish greedy little stunt people.
And you will learn the hard way if needed.

I don't want to veer too far off topic but

I did get a PM way back from a guy saying he was crowd funding a hit on me basically.
Not sure how much money he raised or how serious he was but he ONLY asked for Bitcoin.
Too bad.. he could have got more if he accepted various shitcoins ROFL
I have posted it around crypto a few times.. http://pastebin.com/sDV6rWiB

But.. I am still here 

But i raised a good point no ?
Since the stakes have gone far higher and now we have super millionaires making scammy ICO's with billion dollar cap's maybe they will start murdering FUD'ers ?

To them i say.. you can't stop me, i will FUD from the grave !

If Monero (Risto) and Ethereum (Butterin) pool their money together who knows what they could accomplish

I'll check it out.. and yea that was the site.

We ALL know there is a LOT of code out there that is built up into HUGE systems.. for free.
If you can't *afford* to code then leave it to someone who can.

I have written plenty last couple decades and never charged a cent or taken donations
Except in 1 scenario..
I was working on an optimized Quark Coin miner
And i charged users a min donation fee of what ever coins where on Cryptsy to get it.
But we're talking a conversion of what ever shit-coins valued at $10 per person basically.
Not 250k or a million $$$

Why ?
I still have my PM's from Mullick saying i was banned from posting links to my miner (for a day or two)
on the Cryptsy chat-box.. apparently someone told them i was posting a miner with a virus.
All miners get flagged by VirusTotal etc though LOL

I was posting new build versions freely on Cryptsy chat and one guy came back and flipped out
all pissed off because he installed the miner on a pile of servers (a botnet of some type)
He got mad because i broke the code so it was not mining properly..
Which caused a bunch of us to loose mining earnings for about a day or so.
I told him that is why i did not want to post any links anywhere..
BECAUSE IT WAS A BETA TEST !
As i said Nooooon stop.

I also told them all i kept getting bitched at when i mentioned it briefly or my main tester guy
gave me feedback on chat briefly.. sometimes i made the miner worse and others a bit better.
It was more about some experimentation than anything.

SO..
When i got the link ban and that botnet guy was mad at me etc
I said well fuck this i will tack on some code i wrote..

I went and coded in a protection system so you needed a Serial / key to run it (with beta options available)
Or.. with no key it would run as the stable version i made which worked great with all features like colors in console etc
So.. i was charging for the entry to be a beta tester mainly. (to enable extra experimental mode)
It would still run great with out paying a cent !
Yet i was swiftly told here on the forum i was running a cheating miner and charging money for it LOL
When another guy was doing that here and his did not run with out paying at all !
(his was GPU and mine was CPU)

I tried to stress i had a dedicated buddy doing testing for me and providing feedback
and he was the only one doing that.. everyone else just wanted more coins
and gave me no feedback on it (which was the whole entire point i was sharing my work)

My tester guy had a few CPU's i did not have to help test with etc
So my charging money for code once in all of my time in crypto was
simply my way of keeping the user count down so i did not get flooded with request etc.
And to hopefully get testers that would give me feedback.
Which caused issues with testing results from more users.
Then i had guys sending me piles of emails saying they were all getting different results etc
When they would not follow the directions i gave them to record a proper benchmark.
(I had coded in a variety of benchmark modes & options)

I also should point out i had spent a lot of time telling noobs what a miner is and how to use it..
When all i wanted to do was write fucking code !
Once i let the cat of the bag it snow balled into a pain in the ass.
Eventually in time interest waned on all our parts and we all moved on..
/The End

I am probably the only guy who ever did that 

I was surprised that no cracker did not load it in OllyDBG patch 1 jump and share it publicly..
Would have been easy.. i could have cracked it in under 60 seconds guaranteed 

PS:
@OP
I think you are a lot like Shelby
Coincidentally the same long comments and "Ideological" views on ICO's etc

Thanks that i think answered my question.
I was a *little* curious if you knew BCX IRL (like a good buddy down the road type of thing)
I thought you said waaay back on Cryptsy chat years ago he lived down the street from you too.
Maybe a bad memory though i don't know..

I really don't care about peoples real names around Crypto though.
I try and have a don't ask don't tell policy  

Are we bidding The Mage ?
I bid 101,000 coins (Jackpot coins) ..for the name / account.

Fuck i tried to give mine away and people wouldn't take it before LOL
They are probably worried they'd catch a bullet from a ETH / Monero hired hitman  

@OP
Well said !
You made a solid effort and it all seemed fairly honest & reasonable.
If you have more to post then yeah go for it !

I read 90% of it all and i learned a little ..why ?
I never invested in one EVER !
..but i was thinking they ran pretty much like that

PS:
I can take down 20 of those bought accounts if i wanted to but..
I don't have the motivation to chase these fuckers around.
I wait for the big ones to crawl out of the ANN section where i am waiting on my bridge 

Scenario 1):
A user can go to Bitcointalk and download the Litecoin wallet and run it.. getting coins.

Scenario 2):
A user can go to their local bank branch and withdraw $100 then stand there wondering how to get it onto Poloniex to buy some ICO tokens then have to figure out how to get Bitcoin then figure out that there *ARE* exchanges and that they *NEED* to sign up at one and hand over their picture-id (as requested) in order to transfer Bitcoin over there so they can then play the markets with greedy wolves and deceitful hyped / spammy dishonest chatbox users where they can then buy ICO scheme tokens.

Only question after scenario 2 is WHY would the public want to do that and then WHAT would they even do with them once they withdraw them from Poloniex and get their picture ID info back

Can i ask.. why are you lying ? Financial agenda ?

PS:
Nice account name  

Do you realize that history is FULL of quality free code ?
Requires payment ? Nope.. wrong.

Want an example ?
Google "Rockbox Firmware" and check out some of the contributed content that is CC'd

Need a million dollars to make OPEN SOURCE FREE CODE ON GITHUB ?

AHHAHAHHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHHHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAA

Now i turn to your other point..

Innovation ? Uhh where ?
Do you know what innovation means ?

Show me one single innovation over Bitcoin.
You can't
I have said this 100 times and no one ever has.

I do enjoy a one-sided circle-jerk    

innovation.. ahahah that was funny !

I was joking earlier about Monero (thought it was obvious)

I also was confused about if you had more info coming in a different way than this topic.
Are you writing a scam report etc ? "Flight of the weazle style" LOL
Or are you just going to post some replies here from people then leave soon ?

And are you going to give us more of an explanation for leaving ?

Working with BOB ?
You shouldn't work with the devil.. hmmm which one of those two is the devil ?  

Which coins did BitcoinEXpress have some "part to play" with you Spots ?
I always suspected he was your business partner IRL.  
..not sure why.
I am imagining waaay back when you said you had 100+ GPU's etc
that you had them setup in the back area of the Carpet Cleaning business
with BCX being your business partner.. who helped run the miners etc.
or maybe BCX is just an ex-employee of some GPU maker in China ? LOL
I don't know.. hahahha

I know one thing is for sure there is conspiracy a foot !
I can smell it  
That's the shit i like (it's in my wheel house)

Perceptive much ?

Let me guess.. "my other comments" ?

Then i say for example.. [FACT] Anon coins will never work !

I have had comments deleted from their ANN when i said "Invest in Dash & lose your cash"
A couple days ago i pointed out how they have their own trolling & advertising.

The reality is i have not "ignored" them.
It's just that Monero has been a far worse group (as i just said in the comment of mine you just quoted)

..keep it real son

Oh and feel free to show us all where i was defending DASH "all the time"

I'd say the legal situation gets worse when you run an ICO.
Think about it.
There is no such thing as a decentralized ICO.. they are centralized by design.
So there is some guy or company etc behind it's launch.

The way i see it is a dev sitting at home while he decides to make a Block-chain *related* SCHEME.
SO he premines 100% of the coins then hands them over to Poloniex or Bittrex etc.

So how in the fucking hell is that any more legit than a mined coin with a 2% premine ?
It sure as hell would not be any more legal.

..wait for LAW to catch up with Crypto.
The problem is this shit caught the regulators off guard.
AN in turn that means they are legal ?
That is silly nonsense.

They just haven't gotten around to laying the hammer down *much* yet.
..and they will as i have said for 3 years running.

It's already started (see my previous comment here)

---

EDIT:
Seems to me we intended to make a DECENTRALIZED currency originally.
NOW ?
We are pushing ICO schemes.. pushing the legal boundaries.

And look around these centralized coins + schemes have simply ended up being a digital version of..
The US Federal Reserve  

For example we seen Max Kaiser sputtering about yammering on about "Quantitative Easing" on Twitter.
..with his ICO scheme START COIN (wait for the hype it's coming eventually backed by Kim Dotcom)

Quantitative Easing was what the FED Reserve did after the housing crash + recession to band-aid the bleeding markets.
In other words they burned some "coins"  
Or in other terms / methods adjusted the max total size of coins.
