Knew it was a scam from the start. Congrats to the dev though, for making a new record.

Im 16 and i lost .125 ...almost all i had:(

Myself, I lost 0.4 BTC or less than $150. The sting gets easier if you think of it in dollar terms.

So I've been had. I actually sent several hours going through the more notorious of the scam threads, and I thought that watching the tricks would be enough preparatory due diligence. Yep, I thought I knew how to spot 'em but evidently I didn't. Thankfully, something inside my head said "watch it" so I cut my initial spend down to 0.4 BTC.

Live and learn...

True, looking back .125 was a small price to pay for an experience like this

You can pretty much detect his laughter and sarcasm behind his writing ... look at the wording he uses, it's ridiculous.  Seems he thinks highly of himself for pulling this scam off.  

Add this to the list of scam IPO's:

Stackcoin
DuckDuckcoin
Qoracoin
Promethium

Don't forget jacobux, sevoque and wolong's classic IPO scamcoin, PANDA!

And you can add exocoin by tomorrow

Figures. As soon as I saw how "thin" the client was, I fired up Malwarebytes. Been running it for 2 hours and 20 min. so far.

I.e.: I'm doing a full scan of every drive with Malwarebytes.

Also, I used Eraser to chew up the Edgecoin "app," the .rar file and the supposedly empty Edgecoin folder in AppData/Roaming. Right now, Eraser is erasing the whole of my Recycle Bin.

.75 stings a little more, but yeah can still smile..

Yeah...it's much better than losing $10,000 fifteen years from now in a penny stock scam. Hopefully, you're inoculated.

glad i didn't break my "never get into ipo" rule

First and last IPO for ma.

Of course, always easy to say "i told you so" afterwards... but pretty elaborated scam.

Yeah, it was! The guy hit my Achilles' heel; I'm a sucker for enthusiasm. Oddly, the fellow wasn't silver-tongued glib like the others in his category.

I'm truly sorry for everyone who lost money today. No matter how many "I told you so" people will write here, nothing will change the fact that some people are the scum of the earth.

There were many signs (Mine was the fact that he wasn't bothering with updating the IPO page, he was saying it would take hours every day (which it doesn't obviously), and the wallet honestly looked incredibly fake even with a video).

That doesn't change that this is all fucking terrible and I feel for you, don't let the haters who are laughing get to you and be incredibly careful in the future.

I downloaded the rar, but never extracted it. Should I be okay if I just delete it?

Only running the executable would have been hurtful. Deleting it should be fine.

Oh thank god that I am at school when this happened before I ran the executable.... One time password protected launches saved me! Knew my parents were wise when said to stay in school but never this.....

Thanks for your kind words and tips. Much better than the I-told-you-so's.

GUYS, you need to call the FBI and get the Edgecoin dev taken down.  All of these scams are illegal and you just need to call enough times to the FBI so they can put these thieves in jail.

[scam_exposer]

There are f*cking retards who go after decent launches with low difficulty, attack Mazacoin devs and founders, smear developers like Evan Duffeld, Auroracoin devs and meantime faggots like this OP get away time after time.

Pretty sure some of the scam exposers etc are part of all this scam too.

I hope you're not referring to me because I have never scammed anyone.  I feel sorry for the people that lost btc and for what these scammers are doing to the reputation of cryptocurrency as a whole.  Some of these people that got scammed will leave and never come back and they will tell anyone that will listen that cryptocurrency is nothing more than ponzi schemes and scammers preying on the weak.  That hurts all of us.

Something needs to be done but I don't know what it is.  But with the way things are going with all these scams and worthless crap coins launching everyday.  The entire alcoin world will eventually implode leaving just a few strong coins surviving.  Which might be a good thing long term.

Uhh..you only need prepaid mobile broadband&underground mixing service to clean BTC.
