Ethereum Dark was created by amateurs using the famous Ethereum name ! There was no whitepaper, there was no road map, there was no team, just a shady and unknown developer. It was a clear scam, but the problem is that, when greedy and stupid noobs, heard just a name of something famous, they jumped on it without making any research. This is the clear example how the stupidity and greediness are making scammers reach ! Classic pump and dump scam (See the charts on coinmarketcap
https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/ethereum-dark/ ) Now another two scams underway from same scam artists called Ethereum Cash and Ethereum Gold.
1. Created and announced by noobs.
2. No team, just unknown and shady developer
3. No white paper, no road map,
4. Threat is heavily spammed by noobs and paid shills (Broken English)
5. Classic pump and dump scheme
https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/ethereum-dark/ I have the reasons to believe that Ethereum Cash, Ethereum Gold and Ethereum Blue are created by same scammers !
