MAR's dev fled with the ICO coins, read the other posts.

I realize that, I've been posting in the MAR thread(s).

This guy is making most of the nice wallets you find in these ICO projects, does a nice wallet means the project is legit ? no, why ? i am an early miner of Ethereum, and when it started we had to download two files, Geth and Eth, Geth been the RPC client for mining, and Eth the wallet and syncing client.
Look at what it is today, but it means that a project with an ugly/basic wallet can be as legit as a long time established project's wallet.

When I said nice, I mean features, not beauty.

Have you used the bitcoin core wallet ?

LOL! Yea, since 2013. Actually, before that, I waited a little bit before I joined this forum.

There is so much scam in the space that it is difficult to proof that project is not a scam. This is one of the downside of discentralisation and free market.

Seriously, what did you expected with a coin named marijuanacoin, i am not the kind of guy who judges coins by their name, but here, it was smelling scam at 100 km around.
People should have more serious criterias regarding their investments, in this case, regulation would have been usefull, especially to retrieve people's money.

Not sure from your post if you're taking about marijuanacoin MAR or Marijuaneum XMJ which this thread is about. You use marijuanacoin MAR in your post.

Any coin can be a scam, but MAR actually looked good. Had a great wallet, website was nice and integrated with a web wallet, roadmap was do-able, custom block explorer, and he did the burn of the unsold coins.

IMO the coin was pretty good. I even overlooked that he left his first coin NUC.

Marijuaneum XMJ on the other hand, is a total scam.

MAR's dev fled with the ICO coins, read the other posts.
Besides of that, do you know who made the wallet ?
You should check this post, most of the wallets here have been made for scam projects : https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/winqt-best-design-wallet-check-my-service-1434314

Have you used the bitcoin core wallet ? it is a basic wallet display.

Hey folks,

Just wanted to give the community a heads up. The "developer" that just finished ripping the community off for 28 BTC last week with marijuanacoin is so greedy that he is now trying to pull the exact same stunt not even a week later.

https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/ann-marijuaneum-xmj-smart-contracts-marijuana-march-15-ico-start-eth-tok-1827213

He is using the exact same theme and font as the marijuanacoin website and once again trying to get some ICO money from the community.

I had a look at this new project, i am sure it is annother scam but should check if both are related. By the way, could someone move this post to the scam section ?

EDIT: why is http://marijuaneum.org/ closed ? Maybe someone here got a point.

EDIT2: jimmyk is right : https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.18297049

Here are some proofs that you are wrong and mislead people. You say Marijuaneum and Marijuanacoin are using "the same theme, the same font". Unfortunately marijuanacoin website is unavailable and there is no saved copy in Internet archive. We googled, here what we have found:

https://marijuanacoin.org/login
https://marijuanacoin.org/register

In google cache. These are the pages of some CMS like Wordpress. There is a login, registration and database there.
Marijuaneum website is a pure HTML + JavaScript. There is no DB server or other software than light webserver installed. So your argument about the same theme and font is false, marijuanacoin.org is using some sort of cms scripts, Marijuaneum is a pure HTML + JavaScript template.

I was early on MAR, and the website is the exact same, the time zone of the dev is the same, writing style is the same. Everything corresponds with PrizZzrak's scams. DO NOT INVEST

Early ? 2014 early ?

We don't know who is PrizZrak's and Marijuaneum has NO relations with Marijuanacoin!
Marijuaneum is an Ethereum based token of value related to Marijuana.
All occasions in this topic are false!

Oops my bad.... he posted in big red font.

Sorry to hear that Kryptojken. Yes, it's the same dev also. Looks like he is involved in two scams and is on his third now. PrizZrak's is involved in all three. Posting this thread now on his thread.
