Would love to add but it REALLY needs to be a public github source. We cannot add a coin from a tarball that can be modified secretly at any time.

Can I get a dev or someone who knows something to contact me?

We have a user who sent a deposit, transaction ID eb4c8baff0de0ba0c317daa9f02e5d96797fdc25ca9def059460c9ac6c154c77

We never got it. We look for it, our wallet has no idea what that txid is.

I asked him for his version number, he says 0.7.3

I told him wow, he must be on really old software - we recompiled from the git last week and we're on version 1.8. He sends me the link to the git, says he downloaded the wallet 2 weeks ago. The git shows version 0.7.3 - but the linux is reporting 1.8 - and I personally downloaded from the git and compiled about a week ago. I just now as I'm writing this checked the block explorer - and both our wallet and the explorer are on block 27136.

So why's the git say 0.7.3, why does our customer have 0.7.3, but we have 1.8, and when he sent us LAT to an address we control the transaction was unknown in our wallet?

Confused.

How to detect a possible cryptocoin scam:

1) If it seems too good to be true

2) If there are no unique features to make the coin standout from the crowd.  AKA "just another Scrypt coin".

3) If the devs have premined more than 1% of the coins (1% for genesis block and bounties okay)

4) If the devs ask for BTC upfront for an IPO or opportunity to premine for day or so. (StackCoin for example)



So either common sense (You don't need me to protect you from it) or opinion, where mine may be different from yours. Got it.

My POINT in asking that question is what YOU deem to be a scam coin may not be right or accurate, and it's not my place to deny a coin based on OUR opinion. The "seems to good to be true" - well - Not sure how a coin could be too good to be true. I cant imagine a situation where that would be the case - they all have pros and cons and I'm not sure I've ever seen a coin that was "too good to be true".

While just another scrypt coin may be a worthless copycat pile of crap, that doesnt mean it's a scam. And again - not sure why *I* need to protect *YOU* from yourself or your own stupidity for investing in it.

The magical 1% premine limit. Depending on what the premine is for, there are legitimate reasons to premine more than 1%. Just because it's more than one does not automatically equal scam.

And if the devs ask for BTC upfront for an IPO, I also don't see how that automatically equals scam. Sure, it seems likely, or, they can be completely legitimate.

My entire point is that if you want an exchange to vet these coins for you, so that you can be without effort and wholly without personal responsibility, I have absolutely zero pity if you lose all your money, because you're lazy and have no sense of responsibility. And to make an arbitrary list of "this is automatically a scamcoin" serves no purpose. First of all, some of that is based on opinion. Second, there are plenty of times where you could violate one of those "rules" and still be wholly legitimate. Aurora (to the best of my knowledge) failed, but not because it was a scam, but because it just wasn't well executed. And that had a hell of a lot more than a 1% premine. Or, was that a scam too?

And last - if the list is so cut and dry, why the hell do you need ME to vet the coins for you? If it's that frigging simple, I'd hope that any halfbrained nitwit could figure it out for themselves.

This whole "not my responsibility to make sure I make intelligent decisions, I need an authority to diaper and babysit me so I'm not stupid" mentality pisses me off at my core. Take some fucking personal responsibility and make a decision for yourself, and stop asking for someone in authority (or running an exchange, or moderating a forum, etc) to protect you from your own mental handicap. My god, how weak are you?

tl;dr: I'm not vetting coins based on arbitrary "its a scam" rules people make up. Obviously crap coins with zero support, we don't add. Coins that seem like they have half a chance of moving at all, sure, we want to give them a shot. We're not big mommy and daddy government here to make your decisions for you, and to put a boot on the neck of something that could be awesome, just because we think we know better. Anyone who wants crypto to thrive, who is ASKING for that sort of thing, needs to rethink why they are behind crypto in the first place.

I mean, hell, MEGAman came in here and called JPC a scamcoin. If we went by HIS defition and intrepretation, your JPC wouldnt be on any exchange.

Well thank god we didn't listen to him huh? But - we'd BETTER listen to the SAME EXACT argument and apply it to a DIFFERENT coin though, because THAT coin is a scam. JPC isnt. The other is though. Same critera.

THAT makes sense.

As for the other post about poloniex rejecting supercoin, and the github scources, and scanning the code - thats not a scamcoin issue. Thats an unsafe, can hurt the system, is an absolute fake coin that exists only to spread malware or some other bad crap. And yes, any exchange that has half a brain does that.

Yes, I find myself agreeing with mega in some things. I do wish an exchange would do some due diligence. Sadly the community is failing this terribly and I agree it encourages more scam coins. I myself would use an exchange with enough volume that did that. But to be clear i also support jpc and I am still mining and holding it Smiley

Steve

How praytell is an exchange to do "due dilligence" and to protect you from "scamcoins".

What criteria is universally accepted that we should do, to make it so you don't have to use your brain, or think, and protect you from your own bad choices?

Which coins do we take and which do we reject, that everyone will look at and say "Yes, they made a good call there"?

Let us know the magic formula. Please.

So by your logic Walmart should sell cyanide, heroin, and nukes? I guarantee people would buy them.

I missed the part where I was comparing cryptocurrencies to highly illegal substances and weapons.
If I were to use an analogy, I'd say exchanges are like unregulated roads in the middle of the desert and you're barking at the road because everybody can get on that road.

To further that analogy - a road CAN become congested and worthless to travel on when filled with crappy slow cars.

An exchange is not like that. We can have 8 great coins and 400 worthless piles of crap. The piles of crap do not detract from the other "good" coins.

It's not even like putting a good store in a shitty part of town. The bad crowd would keep away the "higher class" shoppers. It's an online exchange. The presence of shit coins has no effect on the others.

I've heard the argument that allcrypt has crap coins so it's a bad exchange, but I just don't buy that.

We offer all coins a chance. It's not up to me to judge who is "worthy" and who isn't. If only 3 of the coins we host ever "make it" - it won't be because of the presence of, or the lack thereof, other coins.

On 1.5 with 11 active connections, and we havent received a new block in 10 days. We're stuck back on 128,795

Whats going on?

My wallet is syncing fine at 150000+ blocks.

See if you have all the nodes.

All "the" nodes? We have 11 connections.

My deposits and withdrawal times for JPC to be confirmed by exchanges over the last few days:

allcrypt: less than 1 minute, almost every time (!)
bittrex: 3 minutes 54 sec
mintpal: 10 minutes

I'm noticing that what I thought was superior transaction times for the coin might just be superior transaction times for the only exchange that carried it once upon a time.

EDIT: I just had a BTC withdrawal from mintpal that only took 5 min from time of confirm. Still an eternity compared to some other exchanges.

And we let you trade after just 1 confirmation. While JPC is fast and 10 confirms are pretty quick, 1 is faster.

I should get some screengrab software and do a speedtest and post it on the blog.

I wonder when will people realize that mintpal is not a goddess with three tits running around turning coins into gold. It is just a tool. And it boggles my mind when some people throw as much money as they do to use that tool instead of spending that money on marketing/development/bounties/etc and all that stuff which, you know, get people interested in a coin.
And the fact that some people pay for votes when you can get there with 'legit' votes (eventually) is just pretty much translates into lack of support.
Don't get me wrong though mintpal is not at fault here, they're just earning money from people who have more money than sense.

Or thrive on a good exchange for free.

Oh. Wait. Nevermind.

The key is not adding coins with giant premines like JPC. First of all, it doesn't make sense to support coins that are nothing more than a pump/dump. Second, it just means you'll soon have another dead coin on your exchange you will have to deal with. By only supporting quality coins with fair distribution, you can maintain volume without ending up with a junkyard like Cryptsy, MintPal, etc.

I personally believe that ALL coins should have a chance to be on an exchange, not just the ones that are cherry picked for whatever "reasons" the exchange chooses. It's why I started AllCrypt.com. "All" in the name being on purpose - we want to support all coins that will also support us.

I see the arguments against being the graveyard, but, we also have filtering options to hide all those coins. And as we find coins that are too dead, or too much work to keep on the site, we remove them. Which isnt many.

I think it is very possible for us to get back on the BTC exchange in the very near future. But in the meantime we have to continue advertising and getting the word spread far and wide in order to get demand back up. We already have the supply. Now we need the demand.

OR - OR - You were NEVER REMOVED from a BTC market on AllCrypt.

My god. I'll never understand the sheep mentality.

No new blocks in almost 2 weeks. Wallet newest version. Reports an error: "Warning: Displayed transactions may not be correct! You may need to upgrade, or other nodes may need to upgrade." - which causes all of our RPC calls to the wallet to fail.

Asked for help twice, no response, ISR is being removed from AllCrypt.com today.

Thanks for playing.

Tried to add the coin to AllCrypt.com but even with the nodes in the OP, we have 0 connections.

If the coin has working nodes, open a support ticket on AllCrypt.com and let us know.

megaman still around ?
if he wants to expose a scam here one there (with IPO)
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=673524.msg7628954#quickreply

(unfortunately as he is only a troll, very little chance he go there, but hey... )

You are a fucking moron. You deserve every penny you will lose on this thing. Hopefully I helped to save at least a few people who had enough sense to read what I was saying.

That very well may be a scam - like I said JackshitCoin isn't the only scam in town. Every single new coin I've seen in the past 2 months has been a scam/fraud to varying degrees. This one is just so obvious and so boring that it was a good place to start. I can only work on destroying 2-3 fraudulent pieces of shit at a time.

You guys are so stupid that you don't even understand why the dev lying about the premine matters. You also are so arrogant you think a 6% premine is no big deal. It is significant because it guarantees the coin will fail. It's not even possible for it to survive, guys. A 6% premine guarantees failure. This is a fact. You don't understand how/why and you are all stupid enough to still be here supporting this scam so you probably won't ever open your eyes but this is a certain failure.

Not arguing or even hinting that you are wrong: but when you say a 6% premine guarantees it will fail, back that up.

Why does a 6% premine absolutely guarantee it?

and by the way a big thanks to Atomrigs for putting the coin on mintpal (you asked for it  Grin) and to anyone who contributed, while they could have dumped higher on bittrex  Grin

Thank god it got on mintpal huh?

It blew up on allcrypt. Thrived when added to bittrex.

10BTC later it hits mintpal, and spirals.

Bravo

Well, didn't take long for the second round of FU AllCrypt to hit. Hot wallet depleted in less than an hour as millions were withdrawn.

Ill refill it soon. But since it's a cold wallet and it's midnight on a Monday, it requires a drive.

And MintPal is praying to god they do, then JPC retaliates. And you fight it out to their profit.

also, it SHOULD NOT BE THE WAY TO RAISE THE VALUE OF A COIN TO BEGIN WITH!


Thats an extremely good point. If the value of your coin is based off of what exchange its on - then your coin has problems.

An exchange can bring exposure - but a coin should have value regardless.
