With all these scams as of late, I was just wondering whats the most people have lost in one single coin (whether that's due to scamming or not)?

0.2 BTC in Mazacoin. I'll live.
I was away when the real plummet happened. It would've been fun to watch.

I've always turned profit by selling alts fast without ever buying them, just lately there isn't anything worth to mine ;(
It's a hot potato game. it's ridiculous to invest amounts you can't afford to lose, it's just a playground, don't take it seriously.

You must have paid for electricity and equipment to mine them though. That's similar to buying them, but it's nice to hear you turned a profit. |

the ones that lost the most aren't here anymore ...
remember syscoin ipo?
Auroracoin?

ethereum will create some of the biggest losses i believe.
people have lost hundreds of millions if not billions in altcoins (and in bitcoin too)

Lost 0.2 BTC trading DARK and XMR. Nothing much to repent there, but I learn my lesson. |

None due to scams or security issues. However, since coins dropped a lot, it's quite a lot, although I would never realize any loss by selling low.

You're a little late asking this since Gox. Most of the people that lost a lot are gone. But due to security issues I lost about 200 BTC.

Any significantly advanced cryptocurrency is indistinguishable from Ponzi Tulips.

I will be kicking myself if ethereum moons, but I was put off buying by the sheer amount of money people were throwing at it. |
