Topic: [ANN] GARLICOIN - Reddit's Garlic Bread Worshiping Currency - page 18. (Read 35835 times)

Ok let's take a step back from this...

What's more likely here, that a inexperienced dev team launched a coin for laughs and have made mistakes along the way

or...

The dev knows what he is doing and is trying to scam everyone for what is essentially a worthless meme coin that will never amount to anything.

The team may have made some mistakes, but does that constitute a scam?

Stop posting the github url

How fast is it??? How much MH/s does it ACTUALLY do on scrypt-n:2048??? So far there is NOONE posting here with proof of how fast the KnCMiner does scrypt-n other then some old advertisement before the product was even released!!


IT LITTERALLY SAYS [Cancelled] IN THE TITLE LOL

People inexperienced with mining might not remember what was happening when scrypt-n compatible miners started coming out...

According to that thread Bitmain NEVER delivered that product. So nice background check again. Or lying intentionally, i don't know.

Try to ask for Vercoin dev about ASIC for Scrypt-N. Some years ago they forked Vertcoin to another algo because ASICs has x20 less power consumation than graphic cards and asic miners dump this coin for price that graphic cards miners have no reason for mine it.

KNC Titan can mine Garlicoin and any scrypt-n coin with an n up to 19. It's a released miner that had went onto production. Units of it are still sold second hand. Very powerful one, mind you.

After further investigation, Bitmain's the most reputable manufacturer, L1 miner seems to be capable of mining scrypt-n. Read below:
The above miners are confirmed to have been released and both able to mine Garlicoin. Scrypt-n is certainly ASIC broken, miners that can mine Garlicoin exist already too and more could be created as well.

There are other SCRYPT-N ASICs that were advertised but I don't have confirmation about their releases (all listed below). A user in this thread talked about the following having been released:

https://web.archive.org/web/20150421022449/https://www.hashcoins.com/product/hashcoins-triton/

More over, http://blissdevices.com/ and https://www.flowertechnology.com/have been talked about by different companies but most seem to have vanished after vertcoin and its forked switched algos back in the day so I can't vouch for their validity as there aren't enough records.

There's also a company that has a working prototype and upcoming releases https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OYuv93BHqu0

Thanks for the screenshot but the developer is clearly trying to calm the crowd by spreading misinformation. KNC miner and L1 are able to mine garlicoin and scrypt-n is certainly ASIC broken. It should be the developer's #1 priority to try and upgrade the coin instead of spreading misinformation and denying facts. Makes me think they aren't just ignorant as their propaganda seems deliberate at this point. Why else wouldn't they admit it if it was a mistake?

The only scam here is clearly u, u should be banned for lying and making up things.  Everything is out on the Discord and Reddit, on Discord its in the announcements section. You dont have to search for any "logs"?

Does a screenshot help? I mean all you had to do was go to the discord and check the announcements... this really isn't hard. I think you just don't care for garlic.

So you just admitted you don't have all the neccessary informations to decide if it's a scam or not. I linked a thread from reddit about the asic problem a few pages back.

Any links to working ASICs (N-Factor: 10; N: 2048)?

We're on the frontpage of /r/garlicoin. How cool.

Hey /r/garlicoin Redditors, I expect you to flood this thread with new bitcointalk accounts. Please do, registration button on the top left.
In the meantime, why not tell Garlicoin's developer dictator to actually devote some time in picking a non-broken, ASIC resistant algorithm and incentivize a hardfork? Would you risk getting banned on the Subreddit by telling the truth about this coin's fate if it isn't forked? Hint: It'll die if it won't be forked.

There are no logs on discord, I can't keep monitoring it all day. Better quote what you're referring to.

If you go on the Discord channel they have addressed the concerns you have brought up.

But seriously... you are getting all fired up about a meme coin? This coin was only created for giggles but it has lead to tens of thousands of people into their first crypto-currency experience. It has been a great learning opportunity for many and they had some fun while at it.

The founders keep denying the fact that the coin isn't ASIC resistant. This to my eyes is suspicious to say the least. If it was a mistake, they should admit it and prompt the community to a fork so a truly ASIC resistant algo. What the developers are doing now is trying to continue being deceptive.

As I said it's maybe a shitcoin, but not a scam. Founders had no intention to scam anyone, at least as we can see this far. The only thing generates deception is you.
First of all. There is a method (thread for scam accusations) to report and investigate scams. Your thread is far from investigation. You posted the ANN thread to get some ez merits, then went into full hater for the same reason. You are just a hypocrite.

There's all the evidence one'd need to figure out that the devs created a coin with a non-ASIC resistant algo and still went on to advertise it as such. I had to warn people about such a decelptive coin.

Nothing has been debunked. You can't debunk anything and hence why you're in denial.

He is a triggerhappy wannabe scambuster, hunting for merits, probably, because we have seen no evidence this far.

But WHY did he do that?! I think there is something behind it.

To answer your question, it started as an [ANN] post without all this accusation. He cultivated this post to 18 pages. The he pulled a bait-and-switch and abruptly changed everything on the first page.

To report him or the post, there are 2 ways.

1). go to the first post and on the corner click "Report to Moderator"
2). contact the moderator directly. There are couple mod listed here (https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/how-can-i-contact-a-moderator-or-admin-of-bitcointalkorg-1435600). I think you can either report the person or the thread with this method.

I went with method 1 already.
