Lets give an example for Electronium. They advertised that Electronium is tradable on Altex exchange. They must have enough knowledge to know scam exchanges. Right ?
But when the exchange stopped to work, they told: "Ask the exchange for the money, don't blame us for your exchange choice".
In this case the education will not work. The big currency players have to manage the traders.
Electroneum is as close to scam project as any project can get... A lot of people lost their coins when they set the minimum payout to 100 ETN on the official pool... When people complained, they lowered it to 20 ETN, but after a while, they just shut them down without paying the remaining balance to users.
Same with their mobile miner. Constant outages and delays with payments and now it just toasts batteries on people's phones without giving any coins.
Any coin that moves back and forth being ASIC resistant or friendly smells fishy to me. They're just children playing with hand grenages trying to pretend to be adults.
