In a perfect world market (crypto or not) would decide if it's scam or not scam... At the moment with a market cap around of ~750k USD and daily volumes of 7k USD the market looks healthy.
I myself had some concerns about this coin but I'm on the train now. I think more liquidity and even more coins like this help overall crypto economy by providing new user base (that's trivial but essential to any market) by providing low barrier entry (literally 0$ if you don't count your time skipping through bitcointalk and replaying here and there )...
Of Course raising red flags and helping community to understand the problems helps too.
You make a very good point sir.
But on to Lauda's analysis. TOR is not, and never has been, well maybe for the first five minutes it existed, perfectly safe. Whether or not DeepONION is falsely advertising, is subjective, since when used properly TOR is very secure, and certainly more secure then running nekkid thru the net.
TOR has a drawback in that the fewer people who operate nodes, the weaker it is versus traffic analysis. Therefore, anything that encourages (like the TOR browser) users to operate nodes promotes the health of TOR. Why you think that encouraging, with a small carrot (Onion, in this case, lol) more people to operate nodes is useless, I can't fathom.
Perhaps you are familiar with Gridcoin (GRC), another, I guess you would say there is no need for it either. It does something in it's use of crypto and actual use that is similar to DeepONION. GRC rewards those who participate by using their crunchers to further scientific research in various fields. Oh wait, that already existed, so by your logic, GRC isn't needed either, though it incentivizes people to assist in research. The concept is simple, people want a little reward, the carrot provides that, and the participants benefit. QED, DeepONION is not a scam.
