This is serious, people.

A lot of the folks coming to Bitcoin (and altcoins) these days are newbies. 

And there's a serious problem for newbies with keeping their computers secure.  They need all the help they can get.  And yes, some of them haven't learned yet that they oughtn't download crap without checking it thoroughly before running it.  But that doesn't mean they're bad or stupid people; it just means they need help.  Raising awareness of the issue by posting warnings in-thread whenever you see something intended to rip them off is a good start.  Deleting posts that contain malicious links is important too. 

I would recommend that such posts ought to be replaced by a message that says exactly why the post got deleted, as a warning to newbies reading the thread that this is a thing that happens.  Newbies probably do not know what things they need to be alert for.

we had another attempt of malware planting in the quoted post with a changed link in the XDE coin thread.
The user attempting that is djemphol and he did it in this deleted post:

I've giving up caring about cloning, it won't stop people from making Coins. Would be good to have some safe methods to protect people from getting their own Coins stolen which is more important.

People should stop mining and supporting shitcoins, thats the only solution.

So what coins are not shitcoins?

Any coin that I don't own is a shitcoin. That's the usual definition.

This.  

That's why the discussions in the alt boards are biased and skewed and it's hard to take it seriously.  It's full of sockpuppets, fudsters and cheerleaders.  

It's pretty entertaining though..  Grin

Shitcoins are usually premined, clones, forks etc well you know better than me  Roll Eyes

That's like 99% of them.  Smiley

What do you think of NEM and NXT?  Are they shitcoins?
POS coins  Roll Eyes how else they would distribute? NXT,NEM > New source code afaik.

So they are shitcoins? ... because they are premined like you said.

Of course they are shitcoins. What purpose do they serve?  Absolutely nothing. Nobody takes them for goods or services. The only thing you can do with them is trade them for other shitcoins or bitcoins or sell them for fiat currency. That is the very definition of a shitcoin.

[I wasn't aware there were standards a persons rank should stand on?

Just an emergent property. It's hard work being a dick all of the time so the longer someone's been around, the less of a dick they are, generally. There's always an exception that proves the rule, though.

What do you think of chongchang coin?

A profoundly unheroic post. Reflects quite badly on your judgement.
