Even if you use Bitcoin through Tor, the way transactions are handled by the network makes anonymity difficult to achieve. Do not expect your transactions to be anonymous unless you really know what you're doing.

darkcoin = racist coin?

I LoL ed here.

its called darkcoin because of its anonymity.

it has a function called dark-send (which is in beta stages currently)

makes the transactions somewhat invisible (mostly incredibly hard and painful to trace)

Looking through the list must say I don't disagree, though a few I'd be even harsher on. I trade alot of coins yet none on your list comes on my radar.

+1! remove it from the list, since the reason behind it is really dumb and NOT researched well enough... matter of fact... How the hell can I take this list seriously when you dont do good enough research. Oh! and I made a nice profit on almost half of your coins in the list LOL.. Cheesy

Nobody should take this list seriously. Yes, there are junkcoins on it. I wouldn't suggest in investing in most of them. But it's selective, based on biases of the OP. The fact Darkcoin is on it due to it being 'racist' is enough to tell you the list has little merit.

I found this one amusing:
25. Collosuscoin--Developed by a scammer, who is the developer of 99% of all scams on this board. who once developed many scam coins but finally stopped to pursue more noble means of revenue. Still can't trust the muddafudda as far as you could throw em.


Muddafudda -- also know as the originator of the shitcoin killing group. I am sure he has no ulterior motives.

I wouldn't go as far as this. Darkcoin as racist is obvious nonsense, but I'd rather see the OP being corrected with our help, than outright dismiss it.

If people want to make a list of good or bad coins (which I believe was attempted already with that white list thread), I'm all for it.

Look at the trust rating of the OP. And he is using a puppet account, where his other puppet may be even more shady. He's not the one people really want making any list.

Yep, there are scam/shit coins on his list. But you could randomly choose coins and probably 90% would be considered shitcoins.

Yes, I get it, 2 initiatives to clean out "scam/shit coins" are started by people with low credibility.

However, this at least brings some awareness to new people here. The fact these threads exist with the shady thread starters, will at least make it obvious this is becoming a scam cesspool, and maybe will prevent serious people from throwing money at them.

That said, I'd rather have reviews by reputable and independent members, and also some activity on the [ANN] sub-forum to warn investors about scammers.

However, this at least brings some awareness to new people here. The fact these threads exist, maybe will prevent a few from throwing money at the next scam.



There is some validity to that argument. But I would counter that there is an equal chance that new people could avoid some very good coins because of the biases of the OP.

Darkcoin is an obvious example. It's a very good coin, great dev, some really nice features (which other coins are even using now). A newbie may read this, pass it over, because the coin is supposedly 'racist'.

I'd call Dogecoin a silly joke coin, but I wouldn't call it a scamcoin. Strangely their devs set it up to be used more as a currency than most other well established coins.

Yep, most of that list is accurate. It is also filled with bias. If someone else wants to start their own list, and tries to be fair, go for it. I'd support that. However, I am not keen on people starting lists when they have little credibility to begin with, or with the idea of let's use our crypto mafia to start killing coins that we deem as 'bad coins'.
