[ashapasa]

Sunny king I guess since he created two sucessful coins

Any cat!

Artos, creater of the now you see me, now you don't coin . . . Stablecoin.  He managed to scam everyone with a pump and dump twice, WITH THE SAME COIN.

On that note, you should interview the creator of stackcoin. One of the most artfully conducted altcoin scams (photoshop  ).

BCNext is the guy

Quark

If you're claiming the Quark guy is a genius, then that would mean he knowingly created a pump and dump coin with an invalid, PoW distribution method since there's no way someone who is a genius could have designed a system like that on purpose not knowing what would happen.  Unless he had delusions of grandeur and dreamed he would surpass Bitcoin market cap and be worth thousands of dollars per Quark and support the network through mining fees within a month.

We might be imploding into a system of PoS only coins as people lose faith in PoW from decisions like this.

I would definitely say sunny king, he has created the whole pos system which went on to be used in coins like nxt. He also made PrimeCoin which was the first coin to use it's hashpower for something useful.

Well one thing is for certain, he will either be at the top of the list, or bottom of the list after checkpoints are removed.  I would prefer the conspiracy theory be true of Sunny King, Bcnext, and Satoshi all being the same person, cranking out endless amounts of scam coins, and going down as the greatest pump and dump master of all time.

I havent actually heard that one... Where could I read about it? xD
That would be pretty interesting if it where real, when does the movie get made?

I hold a diploma in Computer Engineering and what I can say is that most altcoin creators are not real programmers, the code of these altcoins is often bad and redundant, no rigour, no discipline. You can't learn programming by just reading and searching on google. You can't learn C++ without getting a small education in C. I didn't watch everything but the code in bitcoin, ppcoin and ripple looks good and serious.

People  behind peercoin for sure. But I don't know any names

I guess we need here specialist, not another dev
