https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=524124Anatomy of the scamHuge premine (45%) with a ridiculous justification, the goal of this
scamcoin altcoin seems to be pay off the
Portuguese sovereign debt, I believe I don't have to expand more on this topic and how ridiculous this idea is, specially coming from some anonymous guy on the Interwebs.
Litecoin copycat. This coin, as far as I can see, adds nothing new to the crypto scene, it's just another litecoin clone.
Dubious distribution method. He claims 15 coins will be given to each Portuguese citizen without elaborating on how this is possible to achieve, given the lack of transparency and no legal entity behind this operation I advise Portuguese citizens not to give personal information to the people behind CryptoEscudo in order to get some worthless coins.
Lack of knowledge on how Bitcoin works. When I question cryptoescudo on the legitimacy of this operation to collect personal data from Portuguese citizens he answered:
Who chooses to help USA growth should mine, buy and use only Bitcoin - many collective and entrepreneurial initiatives there. So they [USA] will be able to pay off their debt more easily. As they'll soon need it.
Don't know what this guy has been reading about Bitcoin, but that statement has all sorts of wrongs!
Lack of knowledge about the crypto community. He keeps asking for a Portuguese pool, as far as I know, there's no altcoin pool under .pt ccTLD.
I believe the aforementioned points are huge red flags and more than sufficient for people to keep away from this coin, and more importantly if you are a Portuguese citizen
DON'T GIVE ANY PERSONAL INFORMATION to some stranger for a few coins.
