Hi guys. I think that the main problem is that sh*t tokens (or coins) are really sh*t. Their price is ZERO. Even though someone traded X days ago 1e-18 of sh*t token for 1e-18 ETH it doesn’t mean that the price is 1ETH per sh*t token, the price is still ZERO - there is just no demand for token, so no sense to talk about price.
So we can talk about some lost value (initial investments) and try to recover this value somehow.
Do you know that one of the main proof-of-stake problems is the initial fair token distribution? Because if tokens are for free, then the distribution won’t be fair - someone will just take all the tokens. When you pay for really good tokens it’s not about investing, it’s about fair distribution. In PoW case you pay for hardware.
Our idea is to create a community of crypto-users who can be valuable because they are users but not investors (because
for good projects money is not a problem, money is a problem for scam now )
Those who have lost ether in ICOs have already paid. So if we exchange worthless tokens for some new tokens (we call it BurnTokens), then the initial distribution is fair. Worthless tokens should be burnt right away - no need to collect the sh*t
After that BurnTokens can be exchanged (and burnt) for some new good tokens. If some project is REALLY interested in adoption but not collection of money from non-professional investors - it’s not a problem to exchange some tokens for BurnTokens during ICO (and burn all collected BurnTokens - we don’t need them to circulate, we just need to restore lost value).
When exchanging new tokens for BurnTokens the project team don’t give tokens for free (so no problems with other users who pay real money for tokens) because BurnTokens are not free to get - one need to lose some funds or efforts in scam ICO.
I made a thread with brief idea description (
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5104916.0). Now the dApp is ready - we just need a list of sh*t tokens to accept with ICO price info.
