They look similar, but if you verify the sender and the url, you'll never be caught out by phishing scams. Alarm bells should ring when you open a link and it asks you to log in when you're already logged in.

Yeah, an obvious pump.

Bombard the site with fake username and passwords.

Let's not pretend this isn't happening with almost every other new shitcoin that gets branded "the next big thing". Just a bunch of worthless penny stocks pumped by dumpers itching to make another wave of newbies bagholders.

Pot kettle black.

Doge has an active following. That's what's keeping it afloat. It has nothing to do with the features. In fact, merge mining and a constantly inflating cap were both bad decisions, and dog is hanging on despite of them.

Lesson here is, verify the sender, and verify the url. You'd have to be pretty lazy to fall for this.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but if BitUSD's purpose is to maintain a close value to the dollar, that's not going to happen.

Sure. The more visible the better.

Just a suggestion, but you can put "Earn free PMP" or something along those lines in the title. It won't break the rules. Hopefully it will attract a few new participants.

Come-from-Above never fails to deliver the butthurt.

I don't know enough about Monero to have an objective opinion. Although I have noticed that it's defended quite aggressively.

Prepare for the Scrypt Coin fisting. Brace yourselves.

Other similar threads have been posted before. Stellar did it quite recently. Provided it's off site, and not an incentive to post in the thread itself, it's fine.

We should have a thread on this in the main Alternate cryptocurrencies section, too.

I would say, provided initial distribution isn't massively skewed towards a small few holding the majority of the total supply, then any new currency should be reasonably fair, but over time it matters less. The problem with initial bad distributions is the market instability they cause, and for new coins, that's quite a problem.

PreminePlus has two methods of distribution. One is buying PMC and burning it for PMP. The second is signing up for the giveaway, which when signed up for, you continually receive funds from each month there's another giveaway.

Services actually decrease distribution, but they also serve a purpose to increase it. Gambling sites, on the other hand, I would argue cause a much higher decrease in distribution, as you wouldn't generally buy a currency just to gamble it.

If you can't beat them, join them, eh?

It's just another Paypal. In short; no.

Can we all agree then, if no units ship at the end of the month, this is once and for all just vaporware?

Taking bets on what the next excuse will be that pushes the date forward.

The simple truth of the matter is, whether I "believe" in the product or not, I'm likely to make a profit on selling my shares. I would only consider keeping them if substantial evidence came forward that there was a viable product. If not, I'll sell out when the time is right.

So if that makes me a "noob", then I'll be a noob with a slightly increasing BTC balance, as always. Know when to hold, and when to fold. We all know the game by now.

Who said hanging out? A quick update, to those who can't even access their coins, would be all that would be required. A minute at least.
