Bitcoin mining is now a specialized and very risky industry, just like gold mining. Amateur miners are unlikely to make much money, and may even lose money. Bitcoin is much more than just mining, though!

It's look like team is totally fake. I have taged this scammer from my side. Any DT please tag him, so every body will aware about their scam. And many people's  money will be safe. Team fake means totally fake, no any others reason to trust them. It's look very easy way to scam people with fake ICO. Just create a website and token/coin and start sale. But bad thing they terget first bitcointalk for promoting. We need find them at least prevent scam form bitcointalk. Whoever not visit this Scam Accusations board, he deserve scam. No one protect him.
Good job . Keep it up.

Thank you.  If the team is fake, everything else is FAKE. There is no need to waste time arguing about if it is a scam or not. If an ICO starts with a fake team, that is mean they don't have good intentions.  Main credits go to sorgu who first discover this  https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=4683167.msg42289570#msg42289570

Great finds.

There is no doubt at all that this is a scam, since legitimate projects simply would not fabricate their entire team. This one is actually pretty easy to spot, because there was no LinkedIn profile anywhere on the site for these people, and if you do just the tiniest bit of your due diligence and search them up, you'll never find any info about anyone except that they work at Canocoin. Typical scam site behaviour right there.

Also notice that their concept has literally been manufactured hundreds of times, repeatedly. Nothing original, at all.

I wonder if they are going to come out now with some sort of outrageous excuse now, or just shut down their site altogether after they get exposed (we've seen plenty of this happening before).

This is what can happen:
They can delete everything and start over, which is the typical for a scammer. Or they can delete team page from their website and continue with their scam.
And since "Bitcointalk doesn't moderate scam", or shut down/block their thread, they will continue with their scam project.  Giving a negative trust doesnt work in a scam case.
Something more serious should be implemented.
