That's not true. If you search for the thread "Traversing the deeponion" here on Altcoin Discussions, you will see that there were facts stated that go against currypto's post. I suggest you look at the thread.
EDIT: I can tell you that it's value is maybe less than it should, the coin aims to be fully anonymous and it is securing the TOR network by adding more nodes.
How do you think the US Government takes TOR sites down? They probably host a lot of nodes. This coin tries to solve that problem.
The "100% fully anonymous" part was very puzzling for me, I mean dude you use the same wallet/address scheme as Bitcoin, you have a top 100 richlist by address, how can you claim to be anonymous at all? Your wallet has a TOR client bundled with it, ok that's innovative? I can just install TOR myself... Also DeepOnion developer didn't even develop any of the above function, it's a copy pasta with text change. Also TOR is not 100% fully anonymous, many many TOR user/service has been IDed and shutdown by US government.
Yeah, they got shat down because they knew about them beforehand. The thing is: even though DeepOnion is just a copy-paste, the creator did improved something: the communication. And, yeah, that's a DeepOnion banner. You see... When it comes to cryptocurrency, financially speaking, the communication is a very big deal: remember, two weeks ago, Bitcoin Cash? Fuck yeah, this thing rocked the place around. It made noise. It attracted people.
DeepOnion is just Bitcoin Plus. So what. Coins are distributed evenly amongst anyone who wants some, and as far as I know, Bitcoin Plus is ... ok i guess ? Well, the code is not wrong. It's open source, anybody can do anything. By giving time to the community to distribute coins amongst every users, by entering the market, by advertising... In 40 weeks, when they will "open the gate", I think that it will be like a giant mexican standoff.
Yeah, a real mexican standoff, but with DeepOnions, this time.As far as I know, Bitcoin's value is exactly the same: so many people invested so f*cking much in that dope that, now, nobody wants to sell it.
If you manage to distribute coins the same way to a community, and then, you add value to the coins, you win.
And as far as I know,
again, Mr. Satoshi Sakamoto has something like 2 millions Bitcoins on his wallet. And nobody is crying about that, on BTCTalk, at least, not to the point where everybody sells them in a day to make it hit the ground.
It's just marketing. Every previous Tor-coin failed before. Maybe it was the name, after all. I don't know about that part, however.
EDIT: I've checked the exchange where they trade DeepOnion. There's very few coins trading there, indeed. Since the beginning, we can only account for 200 BTC traded, and the actual price could drop to 0 if you sell for more than 10 BTC. That is 40 000 Onions, if you wonder. So, it represents something like 15 airdropped at the moment. Which is, IMO, kind of a concern.
But hey, that's penny market because it's only been three weeks. The thing is: most of the volume is theses last days, with more than 40 BTC/24H. This is not coming from donations of a few 1000's forumers, I think that it's coming from people that wants to hold, too. As long as there's momentum, any coin can work.
The only coin that matter is the loudest.
