Suggestions to prevent scammers launch new shitcoins

[MajidBC]

Each person can already choose what coin to invest in and follow now without your vision of centralization becoming a reality

It's only centralisation if it goes beyond denouncing crapcoins and exhorting people not to buy them, with the exchanges voluntarily tightening up their policies to restore their reputations and win back the business of (most) people who withdrew their business in disgust.

Exactly. What do you think about our Solutions List on the OP? Do you think having BASIC rules is against decentralization? (Of course you can interpret BASIC in different ways, but I guess you know which one I'm talking about.)

Don't buy their coin, and they wont get rich

I dont know why altcoins went crazy over the new coins recently
(oh sure, they say they do this or that, but ... )

We have had a few good altcoins with true innovations. When an altcoin has some advantages over bitcoin, why wouldn't it become popular?

Pack up and leave.

Rule 1 . Do some research
Rule 2.  Don't let your self get tucked up
Rule 3.  If it looks to good to be true, it probably is.
Rule 4.  If you have any doubts, don't do it.
Rule 5.  I should have followed my own rules hahahahaha

I don't want to erase the probelm, at least I TRY to find a solution.

These are the rules I set myself when I look into a new coin. Do you think a guide for newbies is a good idea?

Well, it's going to be hard because it's trying to get your point across to newbies without making them think they're planks!

I'll have a think and see what I can come up with, with the new POD in place it means that people will be able to trust certain developers a bit more so that will help

Actually, whenever I want to learn something new, I prefer the easiest guide available, for inastance C++ for dummies. We can make "Mining for dummies".

Close the altcoin section.

Without a solid user idiots blinded by greed supply the scams will fail.

I haven't had time to give it a thorough look-through, sorry.

Not sure if there will ever be a 100% effective way to prevent them. Just don't buy them.

[vipgelsi]

Just don't buy the coins to begin with.

Do you think some scam devs are related to some exchanges, hashrate rental websites, and pool opertaors?

Yes, these altcoin exchanges are one of the main problems.

I've a simple soluiton to this problem

I suggest the community start its own exchange with 0% (or vey low) Fee Trading, we can add a Donate Button like Wikipedia.

I think this solution is the best way to short-circuit all these scam and shit coins.

This exchanges will be trusted by the community and reliable members in this forum.

If anyone is interested here, I can help to build that plan.

Maybe there isn't any 100% effective way, but we can reduce the number of them.

A new trusted exchange moderated by reputable members of bitcointalk can be one possible solution. I've added it to the OP.

The main problem is that so many are coming out and the growth keeps increasing. There is definitely no perfect that would be so effective to stop them all. Even if the numbers only dropped by half I'd be actually very glad and count that as a huge success.
This would definitely improve the overall view of the cryptocurrencies and help the market.
