-So whenever a new coin pops up do you automatically say "no community development and support-therefore scam"? Is a coin supposed to have an active dev community the first month into it's existence? Is that what happened with LTC, DOGE?
-Whenever a free airdropped coin is created by Dev, there needs to some controls in place until the project is able to stand on it's own 2 legs. It's a safeguard to prevent people from signing up only to make a quick buck. Look at Byteball as an example. Solid free airdrop project with a very talented dev. Once people caught on, there were regular pump and dumps cycles timed with every airdrop which really hurt the project. Now dev is changing some airdrop parameters to help prevent this behavior.
-Again you're undervaluing the marketing. Onion dev team could have taken the other approach of Develop quietly and market later but that formula is not working in today's climate. Again i used the example that Bitbay and blocknet devs have been developing quietly for years with no marketing. There are too many projects these days that you need to generate attention first or you will be buried. There is a market for this project b/c there is not TOR coin that has broken out yet likely due to lack of marketing. Maybe Dev believes in the tech and can present it in a way that it can potentially be adopted.
If Dev really wanted to make $ and dump, do you honestly think a TOR coin would have been the best platform to choose? He could have forked DASH or cobbled together something with masternode, airdropped it and it would probably be 10x the price of onion.
1. LTC/DOGE is actually a few developers. In any case, do you see me praising these coins? No.
2. "Onion dev team", ITS ONE PERSON. Bitcoinplus has TOR integration. It is worth way more than DeepOnion. What are you talking about?
3. This project is actually 4 months old. I provide exactly what he has done in 4 months...Hardly anything man.
4. Yes I think a TOR coin was a good platform to chose. No, he is very methodical. The way he is airdropping now is exactly how he is going to make "a quick buck". In fact, a quick hundred thousand bucks.
1. ? Noone said anything about you. I'm addressing her reasoning that its ok for those coins to start off as clones b/c they have a Dev community.
2. Bitcoinplus has been out for 3 years and has it's total circulating supply. Onion 1 month and only 3M/20M in circulation.
3. Alot has been done in 4 months. Do you think the parameters, scripts, and methods they're created for airdropping the coin came out of thin air? You're talking about a team of 4 people at most that have to respond to hundreds of cases of "wheres my airdrop" etc. Mod their forums, constantly add and remove people etc. Their plan is to distribute the coins to a wide community and then have the stakers vote on feature implementation.
4. Again just b/c he can dump doesnt mean he will. It's like saying someone owns a gun therefore they will go out and shoot people. Until he dumps, this is not a valid argument b/c it can be applied to almost EVERY premine. Even if he does dumps, you dont lost anything by participating in the airdrop.
The critiques that you have of onion can be applied to 80% of the projects releasing today. This is crypto and there is alot of inherent risk. 90% of the projects today will be dead within a few years. Why are you guys so fixated on the one that's being given away for free to critique so heavily rather than the ones that are presold?
