index.php?topic=678170.0;topicseen
The dev actually has an account with 266
activity, but he also have a premine, IPO
(no escrow), no plans stated for the
future (except a digital marketplace with
forum), nothing new that his/her coin
actually offers.

IPO was not conducted for this Coin it was cancelled to avoid scam accusations, premined coins is being used for marketing, giveaways, and for upcoming projects

In my opinion a scam coin is any coin with no new features or ideas (basic clone) that has a premine over 0.5% (for personal purposes) and IPO.
These coins serve no purpose other than bringing an unstable alternate currency.

New Features include:

- TOTALLY NEW Algorithm (Don't just add layers on top of x11)
- New way of earning coins e.g. Proof of Transaction
- New Design (At least the developers put some effort in)
- Additional addons to the Qt Wallet e.g. Block Explorer, Exchange, Games
- A coin built from scratch
- A coin with a powerful but possible idea. No examples for this one  Tongue

Basically NEM then as you just described it.

There is currently a scam accusation against BitcoinAffiliateNetwork (BAN) mining pool where they ran a crooked S3 givaway to fake user accounts but got caught, as well as lies, fake pictures & other stuff. Unfortunately, the thread is being bombarded by BAN shills trying to cover the whole mess up while the pool owner (s0br) is refusing to answer any questions, has deleted posts from his pool thread and locked it!
You'll see the shills instantly: instahater, fire000, ThePhwner (who was also pool admin, apparently):

This thread was moved from the pools thread to the scam thread by moderators. I posted it in the pools thread in the hope that the people involved would see sense & try and explain their actions instead of continuing to ignore every question. They didn't.


OK, it has become clear that sobr, the owner of BAN (BitcoinAffiliateNetwork) mining pool has absolutely no intention of showing his face on this thread to challenge the allegations of many S3 winners being fake accounts owned by the pool, fake photos being uploaded by his admin (ThePhwner), lies told to everyone by Phwner as to s0brs whereabouts when he supposedly "disappeared" or the insulting & threatening behavior by the admin including via PM to users who asked questions or needed help, some examples of which I will list below. I and other forum members asked s0br time and time again for answers & explanations, but were constantly either ignored or told by Phwner or his shills that "s0br has already answered that", when in fact the only answers we had got were "it's already been answered" - even though none had! A vicious circle. Those questions were:

1)  Does it not concern you that the pool admin, employed by you, uploads fake pictures claiming them to be a delivered unit when it obviously wasn't? If not, why not? And why would he do that?

2)  Does it also not concern you that the same pool admin, employed by you, lied to everyone here by saying that you had no internet due to adverse weather conditions (at the exact same time as the S3 drawing "fix" debacle) - when it was obvious to everyone that this was not the case, as you were indeed online. If not, why not?

3)  Why have you shipped much less than a third of the miners you promised you would since the beginning of your promotion over a month & a half ago?

4)  Why do you continue to advertise your promotion in your pool thread header, knowing that it is completely false/finished.

5)  You claim to be a transparent pool, but you consistently refuse to answer any  questions that have been asked on multiple occasions by multiple members regarding your "promotion". Why? What has happened to that transparency?

6)  There is only one possible source from where the fake posters with fake pics of fake "delivered miners won" come from & why. Either you address & discuss the concerns of the members here, or forever be known as a liar, faker & con-artist that you are shown to be by the overwhelming evidence available on this thread. Until you do so, like any half decent pool operator would, I'm sure the scam accusations will continue for the foreseeable future - it's entirely up to you weather that happens or not though. Answer the questions & clear your name, preferably with evidence, or don't.

There came a point when I managed to catch s0br online - so asked him face to face to answer the questions one at a time, so as to make everything completely clear and transparent for everyone to see:



So, despite what the BAN shills will have you believe, s0br has been anything but transparent, refusing to answer even a single question either on the forum or "face to face" as it were. Shortly after disappearing s0br began deleting as much evidence from his thread as he could of the fake winners, refusal to answer questions, etc before looking his own pool thread - hardly the acts of a transparent, innocent man.

With regards to his admin for the pool, Phawner. Here are the two pictures he uploaded of, what he claimed, were the same miner he "won":




Obviously the labels on the boxes are completely different, which was immediately picked up by a members here:



The abusive email he is referring to is this:



This is one of many abusive messages Phwner sent to many users on the thread who either asked for help or simply asked questions he didn't like, as can be seen from his posts that haven't been deleted from the BAN thread or the beginning of this thread. Then there is also this:



where Phwner said s0br was offline due to weather issues at the exact same time - only he wasn't, he was online for everyone to see, just hiding from everyone over the fixed S3 draw scam. Not the best liar that Phwner bloke.......

I don't want to drag this write-up on, It's taken me hours to find various deleted posts, and I'm pretty sure that anyone who reads through what is left of the BAN thread will be able to see that there is/was something shady going on with s0br, Phwner, their multiple aliases & the whole S3 "giveaway every day" debacle. I am also not saying that nobody got their S3's, many did after the first draw was made and the cat was let out the bag when questions were asked. Everything is there in whats left of the BAN thread & here for everyone to see - and that is that the whole BAN setup is operated by liars who devised a scam promotion in order to attract more unsuspecting users to their pool under the false impression that they have a chance of winning an S3 miner every day for a month, where as in fact the miners were never going to leave their pool, only be awarded to fake users, and people who either worked for the pool or promoted it in some way by either trolling other pools in an effort to discredit them, or act as shills to jump on anyone who asked too many questions about the promotion - some of whom have shown themselves here on this very thread, as I was sure they would. All these and more allegations/questions were made openly on the BAN thread by me and others, but were continuously ignored or hijacked - hence this thread and the mess that s0br has found himself in, unable and unwilling to answer a single question for fear of being exposed as even more of a SCAMMER than he and his sidekick sockpuppets already are.

S0BR, PHWNER & THEIR SOCKPUPPETS HAVE LIED, TRICKED AND SHORT CHANGED EVERY MEMBER OF THIS FORUM, LET ALONE THE MINERS ON BITCOINAFFILIATENETWORK. THEY HAVE GIVEN POOL OPERATORS A BAD NAME, INSULTED USERS AND DEVISED A PLAN TO CON MINERS INTO MINING AT THEIR POOL OUT OF PURE GREED, WITH NO RESPECT FOR THE COMMUNITY, MINERS, POOL OPERATORS OR BITCOIN IN GENERAL. S0BR, BY NOT EVEN BOTHERING TO DEFEND HIS ACTIONS OR EXPLAIN THEM IN ANY WAY, HAS ADMITTED HIS GUILT AND SHOULD BE MADE AWARE OF HIS UNTRUSTWORTHYNESS AND DISHONEST ACTIONS TOWARDS THE COMMUNITY. I URGE EVERYONE TO THINK VERY, VERY CAREFULLY BEFORE ENTERING INTO ANY AGREEMENT WITH HIM AND HIS ALIASES WITH REGARDS TO MONEY, BTC, MINING OR ANYTHING ELSE - THEY AND BAN ARE NOT TO BE TRUSTED!!!

Why don't you start a website with all this info. It would be easier to organize and view and I would expect popular
I like it the way it is, but this is actually an idea worth thinking throught.

It's highly likely to be regularly read by plenty of people here. Often a website or new forum never gets a big user base and any information on there is largely ignored.

I guess you know nothing about NEM.
NEM is such a great movement and you are just referring to a "coin".  Tongue

SAID HE THAT JUST come begging for us to remove our posts after we spotted his in this thread and responded  the begging from this user can be found in this thread and a bit of history on this users account  https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=782765.msg8870089#msg8870089   ALSO you will notice a few lies out of this accounts owner mouth in that other thread re a few of his posts and said in the posts  Wink  JUST AN EXAMPLE OF THIS CLOWNS HANDY WORK "I will mine with BTCGuild, that guy there is very helpful."    From the thread above yet his account he posting on and trolling ban shows otherwise as to this point of time all his posts have been BAN related trolling  

Also if the MOD of this thread does a bit of research re this user and the above matter they will see this for what it is a baseless attack on a legit pool it owner and members by a group of troll accounts as the members are NOT the one questioning the comp etc as they all have received their prizes etc NOT one CURRENT BAN member has post anywhere to back the claim of these trolls etc

Have a nice DAY and hopefully the mod of this thread deletes to down right BASELESS claim by a clear troll after doing a little research into the matter and can even come to the pool IRC channel where there most of the time is about 50 odd members and can see for themselves by watching or asking a few question on how legit this pool is and it owner and what these trolls are out to do in this forum Smiley   And the comp was as there normally a number of the winners floating around in there...    the BAN irc channel is #bitaffnet

Because reason...duh  Grin

There are enough idiots who scream scam almost immediately if they read IPO. Not even one second spend researching and prooving their claim. If the guy behind Craigcoin is a scammer, he is an idiot because he revealed his real name and face.

Don't forget russiacoin, 0.99% premine of 144 M total coin with a pow phase of 7 M coins. Premine dumped and coin is already dead!
How long ago was it released? I'm only adding the new coins. Old ones, especially dead, should not be our concern.

My bad, end of May so no point posting about it.
