For anyone considering investing in an ICO, this one may well be worthwhile.

The Dev has been around a while and isn't using a newbie acccount,therefore he's putting his reputation on the line.


That alone makes me think this project is legit.

....lol

It's always the juniour accounts and members who say they are leaving.   Grin

You laugh but that's not really funny. That's exactly the problem. New people come in to alts and get scammed. That's pretty much the business model for the majority of projects here unfortunately.

People don't know what to invest in so they invest in the ones that show things like PoD and have shiny marketing. Except in my experience those things are more likely to be indicative of a bad investment or outright scam.

I absolutely agree.

'Buyers beware' and 'do your own research' are just cliched, convenient and increasingly ridiculous excuses given whenever instances of scams and frauds emerge.

The fact is, this forum has devolved into a perfect environment for scammers, aided chiefly by the apathy of the forum admins. Most new market participants inevitably just turn away from any further involvement. Meanwhile, dewy-eyed proponents of some quaint and romantic notions of decentralization seem incapable of seeing the lawless and barbarous market taking shape here. Left on its own, I fear cryptocurrency could well be destroyed at its very place of birth.

as much as the Mods have pissed me off around here countless times i have to say again it's not their fault..
they volunteered to enforce the rules and we have to ask who is making the core rules then ? such as not moderating scams.
two points come to mind for me..

1) It would be a BIG job for mods to moderate it and it would back log them with so much work it would stall what gets posted badly.
If they reviewed code etc before allowing a new ANN topic for example.
And who is going to do it ? You would need a lot of volunteers working over time and more people equals risk for biased favors etc
If they paid people to do it too that would be asking for corruption also..

2) What is a scam ?
We don't agree as it is so imagine a team of mods having to be on the same page as that and how it would inevitably conflict with us public guys.
Me ? I figure it is any coin that was not intended to be a real currency with a legitimate shot at dethroning Bitcoin.. simple /end

how would a voting system work? 50 votes to get a thread removed

Keep your coins off the exchanges!! they use your funds to manipulate prices

And banks, investments are not doing the same thing (wow), quick pull all your cash out of the banks and watch what happens.

....but keeping your cash in the bank doesnt affect the value of USD

Sorry I've been afk a lot. Simply programming my ass away while developing new software unique to our coin.

technically you were away from bct, not away from your keyboard Wink

*Some IPO style coins are legit.. they say

i will copy a reply here i made on that recently Wink

Quote
I have heard that retort around here for ages.. and i still think it's bullshit.

Think of it this way banks can leave the ATM machines setup so people can take what they want using the honor system.. but they don't !
Yeah i know a bad analogy, but think about it Wink
There would be people in that scenario that WOULD be honest and take only the money they own etc.
But we all know it would be abused so bad and so fast that the bank would broke and out of business by the end of the day LOL
And that is my stance on this IPO/ICO/ITO shit.. Fuck 'em all !

Youre an idiot spoetnik -- an old ignorant fool.
311  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Keep your coins off the exchanges!! they use your funds to manipulate prices on: November 21, 2014, 03:47:16 AM
I wouldn't be entirely surprised...
Sometimes ago, I wanted to withrdraw some BTC dust (0.2btc) from an exchange, the btc was at a peak value, it was impossible (got an error) was exactly the same for someone else I know. Everything got stuck for several hours and when the fund finally arrived to my local account, strangely enough the peak was over... so coincidence ? may-be, may-be not. I won't name the exchange, it is one of the respectable one, but that was really strange.

other story, there was recently a pump and dump on xmg on bittrex, I tried to send some xmg to sell, the coin got stuck as validating on the exchange until the end of the pump (2 to 3 hours)

This seems to be a very common theme  Undecided

This is good advice, I have noticed the same thing, lots of suspicious delays when prices are moving rapidly!

Thanks, please help me spread the awareness! Hopefully people will take this advice seriously

To mitigate the effects of exchanges using our funds to manipulate the price, please keep your coins in the wallet.

As the leader of the new Proof of Developer service... Do you plan on posting a video conference [via vimeo or youtube] outlining your goals and giving a face to the project?
