Distributed Autonomous Corporation is becoming a popular trend. I predict we'll see at least one major scam related to DAC within next 6 months. Be careful.

Don´t see how this should work.

Decentralized Autonomous Corporation is just a vague concept with no strong theoretical background. But some guys are already exploiting this idea. First we had a lot of amateurs running exchanges, soon we will have amateurs launching DACs.

There is an already launched project related to DACs which looks very suspicious to me.

My negative trust rating is reflective of a personal vendetta by someone on default trust.

There are not a lot of projects which insist on DAC so I think every body know which one you mean.

But maybe you can elaborate on the reasons whith make looks this project suspicious to you?


(Btw I am suspicious that you are spreading FUD about a competiting project to yours for the only reason that it's a competiting project to yours. Coincidentally, your project looks very suspicious to me. But since I don't have proof, I will not tell the name of that project. Do you think I should make a thread to warn newbie though?)

Its not so much FUD, but is in C-f-B's best interests to warn people against DAC scams.
Part of the project where C-f-B is working on, relies heavily on the DAC concept, and if there is a wave of DAC-related scams, that will harm legitimate projects.

People have been scamming every type of currency since the beginning OF currency. I doubt seeing the DAC attempting to scam Bitcoins will come to much of a shock to anyone.

So which one are you talking about? Is the first letter an I or an E?

What are the elements which make you suspicious toward them?

^What he said. Maybe you can find something out just based on their code. If the first letter isn't an I or an E then yes, you are getting scammed.
