Seems like there a lot more DeepOnion victim out there. It apparently seems like dev has a dirty game of marketing by using people. if their aim is to profit mainly by themselves they are mistaken.

If you will reject so many people like that, you have to write your rules more appropriately. write all rules clearly. or accept everybody who fits to those rules that you have written there. do not play with people, do not use people, otherwise karma will answer you.

Surprised there aren't more users with the ONION sig posting garbled nonsense in here like they do in other subforums. Scam? Spam? Its all the same.

They constantly change the rules for the campaign. I'm starting to think that this is most likely a longterm, ingeniously implemented pump and dump scheme. I was apart of the airdrop, I was there since day one, and I did exactly everything I was asked, as far as the ever changing requirements,  and hoops you have to jump through to stay active. One day I was blacklisted without cause. I seeked advice as to why, but I never recieved a response, ever.
   Am I mad about it? Not at all, being that this is my first ever airdrop, this is a lesson learned! I still have my original stake from the few drops they made, and never touched it. The way I figure it, in the end, the onion shills who tear down anyone who dare speaks indifferently about the campaign, will be the ones ending up holding the bag, all awhile, the devs will have cashed out, slowly over time.
    Now, I'm not saying that onion coin is a scam, but there are some really shady business praftices going on, for this to be a free airdrop! What it really is, is a signature campaign, cleverly disguised as an airdrop. I wasn't in it to get rich, but because I genuinely believed in the community, and because they seemed to stand for a good, and honest cause.
   I'm not here to spread panic, or to spread derogatory gossip, but this has just been my own personal experince with deep onion. Good luck to all who participate,  and I hope I'm wrong regarding this coin. Good day to you all!

That is interesting to hear your experience, being that you were one of the luckies who got on board with the airdrop from the beginning. This is valuable advice, as you speak from experience, not just from heresay. I, too, learned a valuable lesson. If it is too good to be true, then it probably is.

Now that does not mean that all airdrops are bad, there are good ones out there. And there are great signature and bounty campaigns that are fully legit. But guising a signature/bounty campaign as an airdrop is trickery in my book.

DeepOnion is not an Airdrop but a job with random pay. If you work hard they might or might not pay you. Also you cant sell the tokens or youll be blacklisted. So there is always risk that if onions are dumped you loose everything.

Also the dev is staking premine, he makes ton of onions. Want to be his slave? Join his slaveforce. For slaves pay is not guaranteed.

The support staff is nice and responsive, thats the only positive thing that comes to mind. They likely get payed regulary though (if not I feel sorry for them).

I couldn't agree with you more!

I'm too new to apply to this one, but it caught my attention because of all the Sig's.  It just sounds like they are running a different kind of airdrop.  You have to participate and be part of it, not just post your address and dump your coins the second you get them, like most airdrops and bounties work.  Half a coin's success is building comminity, so they are showing some innovation, there.

I understand your frustration at the rejection of your application. But you have to understand that you're in a unique situation. You have to admit, at least a little bit, that it IS in fact suspicious to have an account you haven't used at all here until AFTER you joined an airdrop that required activity.

I would imagine that now you are denied from the airdrop, we probably won't see you around here much anymore. After you're done bashing DeepOnion because you feel somehow mistreated and didn't get something valuable for absolutely no effort, you will use this account as much as you did before -- which is none.

Your sole basis for bashing DeepOnion is because you don't get free stuff, due to having a suspicious account. Wouldn't you think it would be more irresponsible of DeepOnion to just give the airdrop to every single applicant? Duplicate accounts, purchased accounts, spam accounts, botted accounts, etc. I for one, believe having real people who actually care about the project wearing the signature, increases the value of both the DO Community and the BTC Community.

I have been a participant of the airdrop for a long time and I have never once "spammed" here. Nor have I gone out of my way to promote DeepOnion. I haven't posted once about it on Social Media. I don't make new threads here about it. I have never been told that I had to "spam for DeepOnion" -- in fact, in the official forums, it is made VERY clear that spamming about DO (or anything else) is not acceptable. It will get you removed from the airdrop entirely.

All that is asked of us, is to wear the signature and participate in these forums in a productive manner. We aren't even required to talk about DO at all here. To say we are required to spam about DO to be eligible for the airdrop is simply just not true. Not even a little bit.

I wish you the best of luck in your future endeavors.

My frustration stems from the shadiness of posing a bounty/signature/social media campaign as an airdrop. They suck in users to get "FREE" coins, but in fact, they are not free. It is false advertising. I am not hurt whatsoever to not collect free coins, that is not the case in point.

Yes, I can agree that they think my account activity is "suspicious" but I have been using my account prior to the airdrop application. Again, not my case here.

The community is based off spam and greed. Only 1/3rd of people who applied for the airdrop qualified, but they still wear the deeponion signature as a desparate attempt to qualify and reapply, which can happen only once, so "don't hurry to reapply!" is what the admins say. So people are wearing the signatue for months as free advertisement. You don't see how manipulative that is?

And don't you think it is manipulative to have all airdrop users HODL their coins (except 10%)? that seems like coin hostage to me.

Also, did you take time to read the thread I noted above? It shows a massive dump accumulating in a single dev wallet. Suspect . . .

There has been a lot of debate, and I know I would never convince an airdrop recipient of the abuse from this project. Good luck HODLing your DO!

I had intended to follow DeepOnion earlier when they were just launching their airdrops but yes, I was put off by the campaigns that seemed to change so frequently and then started to look more and more like spam.

Look, I'm not one to create FUD, no matter how bad a coin looks like because of its people. I think every project has a different marketing approach and I have seen equally horrendous tactics used by even Bitcoin or ETH people. But they do not represent the coin or its devs. On the other hand, I've now seen more and more posts about DeepOnion, and clearly people are hurt.

They should address this and nip it in the bud.

I am not a FUDder either, whatsoever. But I have to call a spade a spade over this stuff. It is harmful to the community, especially when their wallets are being monitored to ensure they are HODLing the coin and not selling it off to continue to receive their airdrop. What's going to happen when the airdrops are over? Massive DUMP. And looking at that suspicious wallet being held by the dev? Not cool. Some projects need to be called out over their bs. It is really dangling the carrot in front of the donkey.

one more deeponion victim lol, the coin only benefits the developer only.
you airdrop recipients and investors are just stupid by them.

I am just happy I figured this out in a couple weeks before I went on for months, spreading propaganda and spam thru BCT and Twitter. It has pretty packaging, but is a STINKING ROTTEN ONION to the core! The dev is gonna make a serious bag off this one!

"FREE COINS" Huh My A$$!!!

I, myself, had a bad experience with DeepOnion and I want to share with you what happened.

I applied for airdrop and was rejected for suspicious activity. This suspicious activity was that although I have owned my BCT account for a year, I have only been actively using it for a month, so they suspected it was a bought account. Whatever.

So I have been going around for over a week with this SHITTY signature to try and bolster my credibility to reapply. I reapplied via their support ticket system and went back and forth with an admin about me joining the airdrop. I told them I own several branded accounts with the cryptodoll name to prove I own this account legit.

You know what they said to me?? And I QUOTE:
"As you say that you have good community following, we expect you to support the community in return to the airdrops.
Can you please show your support? Unless you actively show support to the community your account will not be reinstated.
Use your twitter, facebook,etc power to spread deeponion please" . . . . WTF?!?!?!

So now, they are essentially BRIBING me to spread DeepOnion propaganda throughout ALL of my social media accounts to TRY and qualify for an "AIRDROP"  The AirDrop is supposed to be a FREE COIN GIVEAWAY. But this is EXTORTION for FREE advertising!!! And even if I did all of this, this DOES NOT guarantee me any airdrop!!! And I cannot spend all but 10% of my coin holdings even if I did qualify, where I would have to promote this propaganda bullcrap for weeks and months!!!

And the most FUCKED up thing of all, when I applied, I followed all the directions 100% to a tee, and they still denied me, keeping me on the chain for free signature advertising!!!



I want to share a post written by sic57005 that NAILS what DeepOnion is doing right on the head, its a MUST READ:



Quote from: sic57005 on Today at 01:55:15 AM
Well, I don't actually think that DeepOnion is really SCAM. But it's more like SPAM.
The coin itself might be decent one, okay. The whole idea to move from ICO to complete premine with fake POS is questionable, but that's your right. Since most coins were distributed that shouldn't be a real big issue. It definitely does not look like top coin to invest but whatever.

But the advertisement part is pretty awful. Seriously, these signatures tells "Get Your FREE Coins NOW!" "No ICO, No Crowdfund" that should mean "fair", looks catchy, buy actually you can't get coins for free. Well, actually another signature campaign, nothing extremely bad at this stage. Rank restrictions, activity restrictions - that are still okay, nobody needs inactive accounts in campaign. But the manual acceptance of accounts by some unknown criterias is extremely suspicious and disappointing. One step further, these happy accepted ones can get tokens worth for $2000/month. It is pretty great, but only for these luckies. For everybody else it is nothing more than mockery. These were around 700 people that got bounties over all the time. Is that mean "Get Your FREE Coins NOW!"? For me it is "free gambling". Okay.

But the next part is complete disaster. You propose for everyone else BUY these coins, because there's no other way to get non-dust amount of them. Other option is start advertising right now for free and hope you can pretend to re-apply the campaign. With only one attempt for account. Chances are obvious now: there are 285 accepted and 694 rejected accounts.

And what should do these 285 luckies? Alright, they should post at least 10 supportive messages per week, actually advertisement. 2850 ad-messages per week. More than 10000 over month. Even the top projects don't deserve that amount of noise. What to tell about in 10k messages? They all will be almost identical and meaningless. Most of them are defensive one. You call it strong community, but I call it as it really is - spammers.

It is not SCAM for those who participate. Ignoring the fact that they can freely move only 10% of their bounties. $200/month are still money. But who will buy tokens for these $200? Right, the ones from bitcointalk who are rejected from, again, "FREE Coins" campaign under pressure all of these "supportive" messages. Just because there's no other places where DeepOnion has too much advertisement. Is it SCAM for them? In case the coins will grow in price, probably no. But the growth of price mostly depending on, again, effectiveness of advertisement on btalk, and since all is already spammed with it, there's no significant area to expand. Yeah, that worked good for a month or two, but what next? Since this audience is exhausted, the rapid price drop is almost inevitably due these are no actual price supporters. Considering these remarks you may make your own conclusions. Probably all of this is pretty normal for good projects in these times.

I also want you to look at this thread about DeepOnion being a scam, some very compelling evidence of their scammery:
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2057229.840


So this is what I wrote back to these damned shillers before I closed my account:


Ah, so basically you are BRIBING me to spread your DeepOnion propaganda throughout all of my social media accounts for what is supposed to be "FREE" coins? An AIRDROP is a coin giveaway, not a Signature Campaign, not a Social Media Campaign, but a simple free coin giveaway. But what you guys are doing is EXTORTING the community and SPAMMING the SHIT out of BCT through your followers who are acting like sheep, DESPERATE to get a spare coin or two!!! This is Ridiculous!!! And when DeepOnion hits the market its gonna DUMP so hard it won't even be funny!!! Complete DICTATORSHIP, not decentralization!!!


DeepOnion, YOU STINK!!!!
