A reasonably complete analysis of the coinmarketcap pages stored on archive.org suggests that it's closer to 30%.

List of “decapped” coins (no longer listed on coinmarketcap), each with a hyperlink to the corresponding bct thread.


Corrections welcomed.

Cheers

I'm surprised... that it is only 40%. Most of the currencies are not backed by anything, there is no service and no goods you can by for these coins, no liquidity and thus no added value for their holders.

Without coinmarketcap very few of these scam coins would have gotten off the ground.

This make cmc duplicitous in alot of the scams.

How much dirty money has that asshole owner taken?


Edit. And shame on cointelegraph for slobbering all over gliss's dick. They didn't take it out of their mouth long enough to ask any "hard" questions.

Awesome list Graham!  Those coins offer a great cautionary tale for anyone who is thinking of speculating in altcoins.

Frankly, I"m kind of surprised the number isn't even higher than 30-40%.

I have some cheap tinfoil for sale  Grin

seriously, most mods don't have any powers outside the board they're assigned to. and even inside they don't have access to ips or other sensitive data. afaik the only private info that can get leaked is your email address if you report a post.

This number is to be expected. Roughly half of all businesses fail.
