With last night's delistings of several coins recently pumped on their exchange, and their subsequent crashes, is Poloniex giving us early warning signs that they are looking to get on this list?


Poloniex did delist altcoins in 3-4 months from 2015, it is not a new case. For recent pump on small and shit altcoins, sorry for your loss. You gambled with small alts, so be strong. Don't cry.

Your assumption only demonstrates your ignorance and/or bias. I lost zero. First, don't project your stupidity on others, and secondly, try being less of a psychopath and a little more considerate of your fellow human beings, because somebody did lose, and I'll bet you're at least smart enough to know that it wasn't Poloniex, aren't you? Smart guy. People like you are part of the problem. If you can't see the prima facie evidence, i.e. major pumps + late night announcement to delist + crashes across the board on the coins in question, then you are either stupid or a crook.

Care to respond again?

If what you try to use as a smoke and mirror argument to justify their actions has any validity at all, please explain the timing and handling. Oh, right, you're going to tell me they have their customers' best interests in mind?

Again, I'd say people like you are laughable if it wasn't such a serious problem.

Care to trying coming in again and trying that out with a different attitude this time? Or are my initial impressions about you correct?



Ignorance? Hilarious, there are so many unfair things in the world, many ICO scams in here, but where are you? I am altcoin scam buster and hate scams, I saved many ppl to be scammed. You can't blame me with so dirty worlds, you moron.

Poloniex is the best one, they have delisted coins since 2015, only a few cried, in crypto world, always winners and losers. Forget the thing and move on.

Thank you all for your continued interest. Regrettably, I do not have time to maintain this list into the future.

I would edit a disclaimer into the first post that this list dates from 2014 and is hence quite out of date, but the forum software is not allowing me to. I will preserve the post for historical purposes.

Some random obs:

I have seen many references to Bitfunder and Intersango as two notable scams.

Bitfunder and other ventures by @Ukyo were connectes to the Neo&Bee collapse.  On thread about them: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/dont-buy-miners-from-lketccom-locked-out-ssh-root-to-user-stealing-your-hashes-640717

An Intersango thread: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=323682.20  I think there was another one, can't find it now.

The SheepMarketplace coins were tracked through tumblers etc. by volunteers for some time, but apparently they got tired so now the coins seem to be "lost in the crowd".

There is a thread about LKETC, manufacturers of mining equipment, with claims that the controlling software that comes with the machines steals 10% of the mined coins: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/dont-buy-miners-from-lketccom-locked-out-ssh-root-to-user-stealing-your-hashes-640717

The SheepMarketPlace Wallet https://www.walletexplorer.com/wallet/SheepMarketplace still has a balance (22/12/2016) of BTC 23.45590793 in it - $ 19,080 USD according to preev.com - the funds have lain idle since 2015-06-22 21:27:59 while the last withdrawal from any Wallet Address was 2013-12-01 11:43:22 for BTC 6.00 https://www.walletexplorer.com/txid/7e801d8e35c5a6e75434b387c6b19c087e65459faf35086b16f184edaff5eb44 to Wallet Address 1EisbcGAhDENjwG44WXypA2Mfqpk6LgrNf giving a balance of BTC 869.6 which was then slowly wihdrawn over a handful of weeks.

1EisbcGAhDENjwG44WXypA2Mfqpk6LgrNf is part of Wallet [029182b96c] https://www.walletexplorer.com/wallet/029182b96c1c78c7/addresses with just six Wallet Addresses - they are:

I hadn't found HASHOCEAN and COINCE. Firstly Hashocean ran away directly without any warning sop it's a scam and i had left coince after hearing that the site had stopped paying money to user. And also minor sites like bitcodaily and altriacoin had also scanned many user.
I personally thought a majority of people within the Bitcoin ecosystem had heard about hashocean and what happened with them, so I don't think it is as important to write down as some of the other, more obscure scams and thefts we've seen recently.

When the governments responsible for hyperinflation engage in the hyperinflation, has purchasing power been stolen from those who were using that currency?  If you admit that it is, then you see that your claim about 10% is false.  If you think that it isn't, please explain what you mean by "stolen".

the $ never had hyperinflation. but this is a straw man argument anyways

You're right, it has not yet hyperinflated.  If it does, then will the argument be valid?

That's what I'm asking for. There should be a website which counts the stolen coins. it could even track the coins in their wallets.

If I transfer coins from one address to another and then claim that those coins were stolen by someone else, is that a theft that you want included in the answer?

no, only "oficial" ones.
so, how much is it? guess it passed 10% allready

How does one determine whether or not a bitcoin heist is "official"?  Does the private key have to be used to sign a message of some sort that declares one or more of its outgoing transactions to be theft?  That would make sense to me, but that would mean 10% of all bitcoin produced has not been stolen either, unless I just haven't seen these signed messages.

damn I think no other currency has so many sh*t going on in their world, this crypto is an infamous place to do business in.
What are you talking about? The amount of US Dollars or Euros stolen every year is a lot bigger than anything that's on this list.
Most of those thefts don't make that good of a news story however.

Sad that this list keeps growing & getting added to every year. I wonder what % of coins that have been mined have been stolen from their rightful owner(s).

That's something we'll never know. There's been so many small (and large) scams in Bitcoin that hardly anyone can keep track.

I suspect this Bitfinex theft will stay near the top for quite some time. Around $70,000,000 at the time. Really quite sad. I too had money on the exchange, and am trying to prepare myself for the worst. At least this is the first time I've been hit by a hack/scam/etc.
