:/

op is demanding too much trust here: trust is not something to be demanded, actually it's something to be deserved.

Accusations have to be properly proven to be of any utility.

darkcoin = racist coin?

I LoL ed here.

its called darkcoin because of its anonymity.

it has a function called dark-send (which is in beta stages currently)

makes the transactions somewhat invisible (mostly incredibly hard and painful to trace)

I thought the same.. darkcoin is one of the best coins out there at that time

+1! remove it from the list, since the reason behind it is really dumb and NOT researched well enough... matter of fact... How the hell can I take this list seriously when you dont do good enough research. Oh! and I made a nice profit on almost half of your coins in the list LOL.. Cheesy

Darkcoin is definetly a scam coin, but not because it is a racist coin lol.

Darkcoin claim to be anonymous, but it is not. And darkcoin is extremly instamined. One of the most overvalued coins out there. People buying this coin at todays prices are getting scammed.

Yup but who are we to judge. I like LTC some1 don't, he like Doge the other one don't, some others like DRK the first one don't......

This is circle some1 have bad experience with some coin but that doesn't mean that they all bad, yes there are scams but in scams you can make profit in right moment, or w8 4 alt coin price pumping.

Quark was not pre-mined. It was available from Day 1 for everyone to mine in the crypto community (announced on Bitcointalk and others).

It's not Quark's fault most people didn't know about crypto-currencies when it was released. Most of the pre-mine accusations are from latecomers in the crypto world.

Agree on all except Doge and Darkcoin.  Doge actually has infrastructure, but too many coins, so it is a horrible investment but a fun coin.  Darkcoin offers some real innovation.

Yes, I get it, 2 initiatives to clean out "scam/shit coins" are started by people with low credibility.

However, this at least brings some awareness to new people here. The fact these threads exist, maybe will prevent a few from throwing money at the next scam.



There is some validity to that argument. But I would counter that there is an equal chance that new people could avoid some very good coins because of the biases of the OP.

Darkcoin is an obvious example. It's a very good coin, great dev, some really nice features (which other coins are even using now). A newbie may read this, pass it over, because the coin is supposedly 'racist'.

I'd call Dogecoin a silly joke coin, but I wouldn't call it a scamcoin. Strangely their devs set it up to be used more as a currency than most other well established coins.

Yep, most of that list is accurate. It is also filled with bias. If someone else wants to start their own list, and tries to be fair, go for it. I'd support that. However, I am not keen on people starting lists when they have little credibility to begin with, or with the idea of let's use our crypto mafia to start killing coins that we deem as 'bad coins'.

Nobody should take this list seriously. Yes, there are junkcoins on it. I wouldn't suggest in investing in most of them. But it's selective, based on biases of the OP. The fact Darkcoin is on it due to it being 'racist' is enough to tell you the list has little merit.
I wouldn't go as far as this. Darkcoin as racist is obvious nonsense, but I'd rather see the OP being corrected with our help, than outright dismiss it.


If people want to make a list of good or bad coins (which I believe was attempted already with that white list thread), I'm all for it.

Look at the trust rating of the OP. And he is using a puppet account, where his other puppet may be even more shady. He's not the one people really want making any list.

Yep, there are scam/shit coins on his list. But you could randomly choose coins and probably 90% would be considered shitcoins.

That said, I'd rather have reviews by reputable and independent members, and also some activity on the [ANN] sub-forum to warn investors about scammers.
