This is just a coincidence  and has nothing to with YACoin, but I searched for YAC FUD in google and discovered this: http://www.hackforums.net/showthread.php?tid=2586388&highlight=yac

In real world it would be classed as market abuse, which is even wider than insider knowledge. Wouldn't hdclover's behaviour qualify him for a SCAMMER tag?

He lied in the YAC FUD and on other occasions and tried to profit from it. Some people lost coin and therefore real money because of his actions. He is not reputable.

I am proud that I was part of the people busting his rep. Are there any medals awarded for FUD-Busting?

I unexpectedly made a lot of money off feathercoin even though I knew it was just a pump and dump, but eventually with coins coming out every freaking day exchanges are going to stop supporting this craziness and people will get burned. If in fact people aren't already getting burned considering we're dumping these coins on someone willing to pay for them.

I dunno, I think we should start boycotting any coin that has an unfair start. Especially when they don't announce the coin ahead of time. And we should definitely boycott any coin that's a straight rename and number tweak like royalcoin and these frankos.

And certainly, on these unoriginal coins, don't bother buying any off people. Mining is one thing -- if the coin fails you just invested hashing power. Paying actual money is certainly another. People are buying YAC left right and center rightly so because it was fun to mine and lots of people got on board, so it will most certainly hit an exchange in the next few days. But royalcoin and this franko coin probably won't hit an exchange without some bribing, and if they do hit an exchange it will get dumped straight into the ground. So don't get burned people.

And to anyone thinking about making their own coin: research a fair start and do it right. I am certain if you do you will make a heck of a lot more money than doing it the way royalcoin and franko did. Most importantly: set initial difficulty to a sane value! And for the love of God, please announce the coin a few days in advance!

has it got a virus in?

I'm willing to be an escrow.

How it will work.
When you want to trade, send your amount to the addresses above, and post here your transaction ID, your trade price and receiving address to receive payment. The second person should do the same. Then I'll send both people their coins. If you want to cancel, say so here. If i send to one address, I'll send to the other as well. if you're late to cancel, you're late
