can someone confirm this is not a google translate or good quality one. So we can release the bounty.

Hi guys. I saw my buddy using this new exchange and decided to look into it. Had never heard of it before, so I decided to check it out. I will say now, I really like the website design and functionality. Its nice. However, I have encountered some problems when attempting to properly vet this site for trust.

Lets start with some sample information.

Here is the registration information for the domain of cryptsy.com, a well known, very large crypto coin exchange: http://whois.net/whois/cryptsy.com
Here is the registration information for the domain of bittrex.com, a well known large crypto coin exchange: http://whois.net/whois/bittrex.com

Look at those if you could please. Note they have valid addresses, company names, phone numbers and all that. All data is visible.

Here is the registration information for the domain of kingcony.com. http://whois.net/whois/kingcoiny.com

Somethings weird here! Well, the ? in his name is due to the non-english 'i' character (he is French, afterall) but I'm less worried about that and more worried about everything else. There is no company name, no LLC signed.

Zip code search ends up here: http://postal-codes.findthebest.com/l/202350/59053-CEDEX-1-Roubaix

I looked up the registration address (as in, the physical address of which the domain was registered to) and verbatim, that same address is also used for an estimated 13,000 other websites. Source: http://netcomber.com/contact/address/59053,%20Roubaix%20Cedex%201

The site itself is hosted here, on OVH: https://www.ovh.com/ca/en/

Remember the whois info. for cryptsy and bittrex? check their emails are valid with this tool: http://tools.email-checker.com/ And now try and check the emails provided with the kingcoiny.com whois info. You will find the emails are not valid. They are generated, fake emails.

Upon further review, something is also up with the phone number. Look at it, go back to that page I provided earlier with 13,000 websites registered to the same address. Look at how many of them use the same phone number (most of them). Further lookup on the phone itself puts it in France. http://www.searchyellowdirectory.com/reverse-phone/33899498765/

Putting this all together, I'm not quite sure what to say but it leaves a bad taste in my mouth. I will not be using an exchange that has faulty, scammy looking information used to register the domain name. Its one thing if the registrar had been flagged private, but this is even worse than that. Its literally false information so far as I can tell. If you can explain all of these problems somehow, I'm all ears. For now, I will not be using this exchange, I will be telling all my friends not to use it as well. I say to everyone else: Take out from this exchange whatever money you have there now. This is a potential scam. The registration information for the domain appears to be invalid. Please be careful everyone. Thank you for reading.

Okay so this coin is a bit special for me so sorry for the length of this saga (: It is the first coin that I watched from the beginning and stuck around and talked with the community throughout. There has been more drama in Shibe's month of life than the entire run of the TV show "Lost".

I must admit to being a bit annoyed at first by Loq. What I realize now is that he was just doing what everyone who launches a coin does: be excited about it all around Freenode's IRC. The heart of the altcoin community is in there so of course that's what he did. My nitpicking complaint that he was badgering the Mintpal staff to get added as a hot new coin seems pretty trivial now. Every new coin with any kind of volume is going to have overexcited followers who beg to be on the world's biggest exchange, that just makes sense. Loq did not keep this badgering behavior up or anything just telling the story of my introduction here. Despite this initial reaction, people in the mining community kept talking about it. I decided what the heck, let's check it out.

From these early days someone has really hated this coin. I mean, seriously *hated* it. I don't understand why at all. The theory among the conspiracy minded in the #shibecoin channel is that it's someone from the Dogecoin community. Which I personally think would be really odd since Dogecoin is #3 in a chain of ripoffs already. But you know, people gonna be peeps and well, get mad bro. There was also a fork which could have upset some people who lost money, but that's just par for the course in crypto. Later I learned that Loq and Energion were both in some kind of position of authority (at least in IRC) in the Whitecoin community during it's time of meltdown and I think someone from there seems likely. This someone (or multiple pissed off someones) may or may not have been buying and dumping Shibe at a loss, or their FUD was so successful that it caused a similar effect on the community. I didn't dump, not sure what others did.

Around this time another coin appeared and started spamming Shibe's IRC channel. Doje. Same exact idea as Shibe except dumbed down to the 100th degree, coincap at ridiculous levels, and a 20% premine that's plainly visible in their Main.cpp at github. My immediate reaction was ironically the exact same as the Dogecoin hater. I could not stand that someone had forked/copied the idea of Shibe. Then I realized that maybe this would draw or dilute the hate coming from FUD-ster #1 and well, that I'm dumb =).

Then something totally crazy happened. People liked Doje! Not just liked it but were buying and everyone was partying like it's 1999 in the IRC channel. On the first or second night of it's existence something like 3 million of them rained on me. An excited Doje community sprang to life instantly.

An odd thing about Doje: it actually works really pretty well. The network was running smoothly at a time when Shibe's network was clogged up more than myself after I eat a bunch of cheese. This may be because Doje's PoS implementation happens to work particularly well, or possibly because more people were running Doje wallets than people running Shibe. I'm not sure why it worked better than Shibe but it did. More folks jumped ship because of this.

After a period of stagnation, whales start dumping. It was Shibe's council team, probably every single one of them. Pretty sure on this. He-said-she-said on who started it. I don't care. But the result was another big hit on the price.

Us clueless plebs in the IRC channel at this point are in complete limbo, wondering what the heck is going on, why Shibe is steadily losing value. The development of Shibe which at first had some real energy (lol Energion had his batteries charged) and speed had suddenly come to a grinding halt. A program called "Shibidends" was a carrot that we followed. News for the sake of news. A glorified rich list and most of us suspected that's what it was but were happy to see Shibe in the news. Desperate for good news at this point.

Finally after several days of following the carrot Energion appears in #shibecoin and reassures us that all is well, Shibidends is on track and the future is bright.

Then one evening soon after OdynGrd (sp? he's not in chan now) drops a serious bombshell in the IRC channel: Doje was created by Loq and Energion to try to distract the FUD away from Shibe.

ARE. YOU. FUCKING. KIDDING. ME.

One of the accusations of the original FUD-ster was that Loq was some shady developer that's been behind some past coin failures. And now here's one of the council members saying that Loq has done exactly what the FUD-ster said. So I'm immediately pissed at Loq.

What happened next was a kind of coup. Loq and Odyn took over Shibecoin, wrenched it away from Energion (and I later learned, Frystikken). I actually and honestly believe that they did this because they were tired of constantly lying to the community they were supposed to be leaders of.

The reason I believe this is clear. (1) Loq admitted everything I've said here on video. He has apologized and now seems to be focused like a laser on what's important: making Shibe awesome. (2) Delivering the awesome. What you see here is not just some pretty new wallet UI. To say it is is a huge disservice to the folks at Bittrex who are helping change the code base to a PoS system that isn't constipated. Feel free to drop into Bittrex's IRC channel and ask what their process has been like. It's really impressive, they're managing to swap out the blockchain of a coin with minimal or no loss.

Side note: during the last round of drama here Doje has changed names to BankNote.

BankNote folks: getting away from the silly / joke beginnings of Doje is good. But please, step out into the light, make some plans to make BankNote awesome. It could be. Your system works well. Just show yourselves, admit the stupidity and luck of the beginnings of BN and try to make it awesome.

Both teams: guys, the time for squabbling is over. You both have what could be awesomely bright coins to work on. Please do that. Shibe seems on the right path but Loq can't resist the occasional dig in the channel or in the obsolete #dojecoin channel. Loq, cut that shit out. Energion and Frystikken, come on guys play time is over. Bittrex: you guys seriously kick butt.

groestlcoin has low interest in investment because it is not pos among other things.


DMD is pos has too much supply

Myriad is innovative but i dont think it will survive the longrun
futurecoin is crap
and dvorak is a scam.

i can fix everything.. get me a dev!!

Groestlcoin was created on 22 March 2014 and we’ve seen some interesting few months since then. A lot has also been achieved. We have:

• Patched the HeartBleed vulnerability
• Updated to Dark Gravity Wave 3
• Updated the logo
• Created the new website
• Created a Reddit tip bot for our users. u/GroestlTip
• Built a solid base in social communities like twitter, reddit, facebook
• Created an official Groestlcoin forum, paper money generator, extra block explorer, and got listed on numerous exchanges
• It is even possible to buy GRS directly with Euro (on 2 different websites).

Building on these important milestones, today we would like to share with you the Groestlcoin roadmap for 2014:

Our most important update: Groestlcoin is going POW + POS (70% POW and 30% POS) on block #150,000 (early July 2014). The community has been asking for it and we are implementing it.

Also, from block #150,000, the new block reward strategy will be used: 25 GRS initially and decreasing 1% each week up to the minimum reward of 5 GRS. The total volume of coins will not be changed and will remain 105,000,000.

It will give us 10 additional years (up to 2033) of mining using the Groestl algorithm and it’ll decrease the inflation levels.

From block #120,000 to block #150,000 the reward will be decreased 10% daily, reaching 25 GRS at block #150,000.

We will launch a Groestlcoin advertising campaign, featuring a bodypainted model in the first week of June. Sneak peak: http://goo.gl/KE2xfO

At block #200,000 (or earlier, if time permits) we will introduce GroestlSend, a way to send anonymous transactions.

Other news is that we will be launching a Groestl/MyriadGroestl multipool during this summer and payouts will be in GRS.

We will keep working on a JavaScript/WebGL Groestlcoin mining website and planning to open it by the end of 2014 (no exact date yet).

Android miner has just been released and it gives about 25-60 KH/s per core, on the latest smartphones/tablets. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.miner.groestl and https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.miner

Another June premiere is a p2pool for Groestlcoin. This will help us better distribute hashes and secure the network.

We are also focusing on the actual usage of Groestlcoin in daily life. Payments with GRS, shops accepting GRS, etc. We just won the CoinPayments.net vote.

Groestlcoin will keep being a community coin and follow the latest trends in crypto currencies.

Thank You,

The GroestlCoin team

Tired of so called anonymous coins running away with your bitcoins? Tired of speculating on coins that have nothing behind them but manufactured hype and a new set of graphics? plus failed launch and instamined

Can you explain Built in Anon via Exchanges ?

x11 and x13 are dead. ill be looking forward to truly antiasic technology coins with POS funtionality. asics are the reason you get $1 per mh from every coin.. because their 100mh asic running on 400w power they can rape the markets and play with you like toys with market manipulation. they are the only ones getting $100 a day now while everyone else gets next to nothing.

seriously if noone wants to support my idea that fixes these problems.. then someone make something.. that is useful to real investors. blackcoin has already taken a cake.. all the copy cats will never be as good as blackcoin so probably dont even waste your time.

x11 is nice because it runs cooler. can we get an algorithm that runs cooler and does not work with asics. i have already devised this algorithm if anyone is interested in making a revolutionary coin then msg me. a coin that will be permanently.. and forever.. antiasic. no new technology will be able to exploit the coin via hashpower.

Sadly people will still mine this crap like they kept mining on pure and happy , everybody thinks they can get  rich over night.. and thus keep the scams alive and well..

Sorry guys there are some severe flaws in the coin's source:

There is autodonation still in the code but with a Boostcoin address:

look:
https://github.com/CloakCoin/CloakCoin/blob/master/src/main.h#L42

this way the code won't work, as there are several other files missing the donation code and the address needs to be corrected...

I can patch it but it will create a fork

Tired of so called anonymous coins running away with your bitcoins? Tired of speculating on coins that have nothing behind them but manufactured hype and a new set of graphics? Ready for something a little more real, a little more accountable, a little more...mature?





Introducing CLOAKCOIN:  The first currency with anonymous feature via exchanges


We have seen literally hundreds of new coins coming into existence. A lot of great ideas, a TON of attempts to capture the firestorm of memecoin success, and some terrible ideas. We have also seen some outright scams, by unrepentant greedy people who lack the motivation to even bother trying to innovate at all, and simply choose to prey on the hopes and dreams of the great, vibrant community that the cryptocurrency phenomenon has brought together.

CloakCoin is totally different from other alt coins, which are made for Pump n Dumps. We are a team of 4 highly experienced developers, currently working on a totally different anonymous feature for CloakCoin; anonymity via exchanges.

Main advantage of using exchanges for anonymity: Hundreds more transactions going into an exchange than a node, some of these tx take weeks to come out. This means that it renders statistical analysis (which can uncover so called anonymous transactions) much less effective. Result = stronger anonymity, straight from your CloakCoin wallet.

Exhausting...

But the boy's toy is on order.


We're adding an icon to the wallet that when clicked displays random, decoded Illuminati cards  

Again, trying to justify your instamine with examples of other coins. This negativity towards you and this coin will not cease when you have no other reason to justify your 100,000 cyc instamine other than "look over there, other coins did it, so can I"
