And this is where the thread derails into personal preferences and saying nearly every single coin is a scam.

every coin premined and IPO is scam

so simple

NXT=SCAM  This is true.

I describe a few different levels of scammishness in this post here...

Darkcoin
Whitecoin
Mintcoin
Particle
Ultracoin
Blackcoin


...all make the list.


More on the link, with evidence.

Hi everybody,

it would be great to have that list and I'm
happy to have a filter for those coins

on my site http://crypto-coins-table.com

If the dev knew that the coin couldn't do what he said it would, purposely vanished and dumped the premine, then yep, it's a scam. Actually any dev dumping any premine meant for promotion could be considered scammy, regardless of coin problems.

I didn't follow the coin very closely, as it just seemed like it was copying blackcoin and hoping for a quick payout.

In order to make a list of scam coins, it may be best to first define what a scam is. The term is used too loosely in this forum for my definition. Poorly coded coins, simple clones, coins that go below ipo prices, or coins that simply lose you money, wouldn't be considered scams to me. Coins that have iffy distribution, but it's just a vague hunch, wouldn't qualify either. IPOs where the devs run away with the money, viruses in wallets and other similar behavior would certainly qualify.

I didn't keep track of white coin, but was it an ipo? If just bad coding, I wouldn't count it as a scam.

But that still leaves plenty of other scam coins around.

And no idea why anyone in their right mind would bother with dafuq coin. It's basically a red flag from the start to avoid it.

A pair of sketchy coins to me, yet I can't say with 100% certainty are scams, would be mandarin coin and australia coin. There was a rumored log for mandarin devs that looks very very shady. They could be considered a scam under the view that they didn't follow up with a proper airdrop. Many nation coins probably qualify there.

Marinecoin may qualify, under an 'insane dev' rule. Faking marketcap based on premine. And a completely crazy website.

I'm sure there are plenty of bad ipo coins, but I may not have been around long enough to even know what they are. I've taken part in three ipos in the several months I've been here, and I've made money on all three (not very much, but some). So I may have missed the shadier ones.

think i'll stick with 666coin when it launches May 3rd.

I heard something about whitecoin.


i'll stick with blackcoin

With a name like dafuq it was pretty obvious what you were getting yourself into and sadly cryptokk was put out of commission due to this malicious dev.  All these scam coins are just rinse and repeat cycles for these crooked devs, greed is evil.

hey op....


65 BTC


IPO


don't worry about namings cam coins.. worry about showing how IPO's are scams lol
besides it would be easier to name the one that are not scams.. a shorter list

hope not....but i think your right

dont forget Edgecoin https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/wallets-stolen-by-hackerswere-sorrycontact-anon136-for-escrow-540017

People should read through these before they consider IPO.

Use protection, use escrow! its like a condom for your bitcoins!!

ps:people in the multicoin tread say that the dev for multicoin are the same as standardcoin

well i think we got a new record older...

if it turn out to be a scam...still not sure.

multicoin will hold the record of the biggest scam... 122btc as we speak

the wallet dint sync in 3 days...the dev dosent answer...
