What about DeepOnion?

[diguyo]

I have heard stories of people getting banned from their forum for no reason. Comes off that they are being shady and don't want to give out too many airdrops. Like some one else on here said it definitely feels like more of a cult.

I can't say I've seen much of this. People I've seen banned have been kicked for multiple accounts and attempting to abuse the system. They're quite strict on some of their tasks, but for good reason, to ensure people don't abuse. They're actually pretty chilled an relaxed otherwise.

Anyone who puts money in here is a foolish, you guys need to understand that the only ones who are the big whales are those newbies who have been in the signature campaign of them for more than months.
They have probably more than $2000 worth of onions right now, but they are not able to move those funds because they will get desqualified from the campaign.
Once that they all decide to move the funds from there, the price will explode.
Just like it happened a few months ago when the price dropped from $2 to $1 in a few minutes, because a big whale sold all his onions.

I get it people love they are earning money from it and a pump which can bring the market cap 100m $ will make lots of crypto rich.

Don't want to be a pain in the *ss, but if people are owning that amount of onions... don't you think they did not get that overnight?
Do you want to know how much the bigger investors already have ? because, like every other cryptoproject... it is meant to launch new innovating features and earn money while investing.
Did you ever take close notice to the old school stock markets? how do you explain that?
This is just a modern technologic way to make new software & make people happy along the way, with revenue on their investment & offering new programs that secures privacy & anonimity.
May I ask why you are member on a crypto community?

No offence friend, but looking at your ranking here.. and the fact that you "heard stories" makes me think you did not take the time to have your own research on it.
Indeed, people got banned, but the way they reacted on that ban was only a result of their own behaviour...
It is thanks to those bans that the DeepOnion community manages to keep a solid group of "followers/believers/investors" ... you would be surprised if you would have seen the amount of "new people" that were entering and started to spam about DeepOnion. Allthough the idea was good to enlarge the community, because the bigger the community is.. the more visibility it gets & the more other people can hear about it, the approach to make that happen had to be finetuned... which happened a few days ago when the mod/dev team noticed it was going the wrong way.
As said before... every, but seriously, EVERY project needs mouth to mouth publicity, visibility on different media, to become bigger & be heard.
I can't imagine that a project would not be allowed to put some new features in the spotlight just because others were not happy they were no longer allowed to be a member..

And to react on the Airdrop part : DeepOnion planned 40 airdrops, for which that half has already been completed... unfortunately some of the people that received those airdrops indeed started to dump those onions for hard cash.
Tell me, is this the reason way you support a project? Those banned people were the ones destabelizing the whole project by massive dumping... and it's kinda logic you don't need that kind of people in a project.

It's similar to NEM when people tried using sockpuppet accounts to get multiple stakes way back in the day. It can be hard to catch but when the same IP address is found to have logged into more than one account there's probable cause right there. I would suggest not using a VPN to log into their forums as the likelyhood of "sharing" an ip address with someone else goes way up. Or if you want to abuse, I suppose you can try using the VPN on one account but at some point you'll slip up and there go both accounts potentially.

Like a lot of altcoins, they get to keep a large percentage for themselves. 2 million founder's reward and 3 million for development fund. That's something like 30% of the total supply. Indeed 99% of altcoins that are created end up this way, and ICOs well  there you're just giving them boatloads of money, in many cases far more than what gets created when you create an altcoin and distribute it in this manner.

I really don't like deeponion.

It is like a cult more than a coin. Also if you didn't see this video, you must watch, it is hilarious

we cant argue with the his point in this video, moderators are working very hard to reduce ist. new rules have been applied. people should can get the word but this was not the way to do it.
but like someone already said. he looked at the coin and investigated. at first side i looked good en was willing to look in to it in the future

Another Spam-Thread, that's just what we needed.

Need to drive up your posting count to not be skipped in todays marketing payment?

[NorihiroName]

I saw a big topic which stated deeponion is a scam. So, I'm not willing to have any deeds with this coin.

Nope.. This is an open thread about DeepOnion and everybody is entitled to his/er own opinion.
You are right that there are a lot of spam messages when it comes to alt coins, but I would not consider this one as spam.
I'm reacting on most of the comments, and trying to answer questions & explain certain things.

fyi: i'm not part of the marketing team at DeepOnion, nor am I part of the moderators/Development team. So there is no real benefit for me in this.
But I do think that certain missjudgements & wrong info should be corrected and this is the thread where I make it possible.

[foggywhite007]

Direct restless members deeponion. They are everywhere, go on any youtube channel they extol the ONION. I don't even really understand if I ask some anonymous pricevalue to purchase a answer that DEEPONION, they already brainwashed me.
BUT people who is there is saying that the project is worthwhile is growing rapidly, the new chips come out. Who likes anonymous cryptocurrency probably should look into it and understand what was happening.

I fully understand your concern.. but you are judging your decision on a thread created by a banned member.
imagine this, simple example : you baked a perfectly good pie and all of your friends / family, neigbours, etc like it a lot.. except a few others that did not taste it, just got to smell it...
Now... Would you want everybody who did not taste the pie base their decision on those who say it's bad because they think it smells bad or do you want to see for yourself?
This is the same for DeepOnion, go find their website & read about and make your own decision
I'm not telling you you HAVE to join, but i'm telling you to please have a look at it.
If you don't like it... your free to do what you want....
To be honest, it's a weak thing to start trashing a coin just because you got kicked out. And that's what  some people started to do..

It has been clear that some previous members were disappointed about the coin because they could not make money fast.
I urge people to have a look at the last weeks balance for DeepOnion.. Every bearisch & bullisch balance can easily be explained and followed.
value dropped, reason = a lot of new members started to spam about deeponion
value rising, reason = new update on DeepVault & expanding development team, and news about new features that will be added soon, and upgrading the network
So... It's clear when people keep investing in it that those people were the ones that did research..

Scam is an overused word and used against DeepOnion wrongly.

scam
skam/Submit
nouninformal
1.
a dishonest scheme; a fraud.
"an insurance scam"
synonyms:   fraud, swindle, fraudulent scheme, racket, trick, diddle; More
verb
1.
swindle.
"a guy that scams old pensioners out of their savings"

So far (based on Marketcap) DeepOnion has given over $15 Million dollars worth of coin away (Onions) to users participating in the airdrop(s), there are logs proving this and thousands of users that can vouch for it. I don't see how that makes DeepOnion a scam, they are simply offering a unique way of distributing (No ICO, etc) coins.

Most of the accusations stem from the fact that DeepOnion has a large pre-mine but that is mostly for the airdrop which has been running for nearly 22 weeks which is a hell of a long time to wait to "scam".

i have heard good some good stuff about deep onion good ico good idea and good bounty after that i have heard that it is just a scam until now i dont know  what is the problem ?

Do we talk about deep onion or deep coin? Or are they the same?? I have no idea.
I have heard about deepcoin only, it is good project great community behind it. Deepcoin is privacy kind project and will compete monero.

Although I don't know what's wrong with DeepOnion, there are a lot of people who say it's a hoax, which makes me afraid to buy DeepOnion.

[webwakko]

I trust McAfee ^^ Coins with anonymity as purpose has a bright future. Deeponion, monero etc.

Well, in fact the whole cryptoworld turns arround privacy & security... so indeed... these coins have high potential in surviving the alt coin war that's currently going on.

[molecularman]

I posted all over the place lately - saying basically the same thing.

We will see a shift,  and more money will flow into privacy coins.    For whatever reason,  too many people get caught up in the idea of "No, MY privacy coin is the best, therefor all other coins are crap/a scam/etc.."

I think the more quality projects we have in this space, the better.     There isn't anything about DeepOnion that is a scam.  It's a working product with active devs and a sometimes overactive community.  I am absolutely big on DeepOnion,  I am excited for where they are going.   But I'm also big on other privacy coins..  Nav, Shield, ColossusXT..   It isn't an all or nothing deal.

Thanks for the good thread webwakko.

You nailed it here... offcourse i'm not saying that people should only look at DeepOnion because it's the "best", but I think we can all be clear about it that it's not a scam coin.
Scam coins won't have 40 weeks of airdrops, won't expand the dev team to have faster development, won't aim so high on marketing and risking fudders to trash their name, hell, most of them won't even make it passed their ico's when they got what they want...
It's sad to see that some people don't make an effort to have a look at it.. I'm not saying "you NEED to buy it"... 'au contair', everybody is free to do what he/she wants... I'm just telling people about it, because for me personally DeepOnion was already running for a month before I heard about it... getting informed 1 month earlier in cryptoworld can make the chance.
Thanks for the support mate...

note: if people have serious questions about this project, don't forget to ask about it... I'm willing to give all the information I got so far.
If you have no interest in this one, please move on because this thread was created to have a Deep conversation about this project and it's features.

[Azzhan]

DeepOnion this project, I am optimistic about at the beginning, but code on the back to see a lot of people talk about gitub update very slow, and many say it is a huge scam, so I remain skeptical.

[Cnut237]

I think it is a genuine project, but I wasn't able to get in because I joined Bitcointalk too late so I missed the cut-off. It's a shame because I would have liked to have been involved. I'm not sure about people calling it a scam because every alt project gets called a scam at some point, even ETH.
