Next week's summary - 42 scams. Here we go:

1. MorCoin - https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=663513.0;topicseen

probably a scam, pure POS coin, 1 free share for everyone, however you can buy 10 or 20 shares with your bitcoin. E-mail address required, low account activity, thread closed and and info the the bottom of the page: "all purchases are non refundable and provide no guarantee of payment in the event of a failure to launch".

2. FlyMyCoin - https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=663463.0;topicseen

Claiming they spoke with most of the airlines on the earth. No proves whatsoever for such activity. 50% premine, 2,5 million coins and blocks from 1 to 100 offer only 0,1 FMC in order to avoid instamine. Had enough? Hear this, they have an IPO with 25.000 FLM for 1 BTC. Sounds good?

3. AmazoniaCoin - https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=663285.0;topicseen

1% premine, trying to save the most precious places on our planet by creating a cryptocoin and selling white t-shirts for 0,05 BTC. Moreover, the claim the coin is going to be pure POS?

4. VeniVifiVici Coin - https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=662680.0;topicseen

1% premine for big bounties, lack of many information, low account activity, the project has no innovations and nothing new to offer

5. Techcoin - https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=663990.0;topicseen

1% premine, no pool at launch, probably a ninja launch as well, low account activity6. Altex Industries? https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=664198.0;topicseen100% premine, IPO as an only option to acquire their coins, self moderated topic and an account with low activity

7. CSCoin https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=664262.0;topicseen

No premine, they say, but 15% IPO. Dunno where the coins for that are comming from. Moreover, low account activity and they try to use CS trademark and name to promote their "coin".

8. New Egalitarian Economy - https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/--664165

Except for nice name, another scam with IPO. On the dev's website, it clearly says he can grab all the money and leave with them if the minimal requirment is not met. Also self moderated topic, low account activity, lots of people complaining and advising to stay away.

9. DebtCoin - https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=664737.0;topicseen

Low account activity, no information whatsoever, asking for donations by puting BTC address in a main thread. Also, they "believe" their coin could repay all world debt.

10. Nanbu Wealth Lock Coin - https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=665736.0;topicseen

No information at all, low account activity, no solid reasons to trust this project

11. M.Jcoin https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=665964.0;topicseen

low account activity, 1,75% premine, people complaining about developer abandoning the project and lack of contact

12. Hodorcoin - https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=665818.0;topicseen

Another attempt of thread promotion. Coin described a week ago.

13. SpectrumCoin - https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=666410.0;topicseen

Totally new account with 1 activity, 1% premine, 5% IPO, the idea of success? "prices only grow with time".

14. GCoin - https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=665858.0;topicseen

200 billion total cap, 40 billion premine.

I do not know whether did I get it right, or not. But, they the developer (low account activity, self moderated topic) says the coin will be backed by gold, and out of 101 million coins he did premine 100 million. Those will be sold. Make your own opinion on this.

Important update:

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=669261.new#new
Slothcoin - 17 viruses included to your slothcoin client. Don't download the wallet file!

 What worried me was the fact there were actual people who threw money at a coin called "Slothcoin'.

Fantastic idea for a thread, it is sorely needed on this forum.

This thread should be a sticky and required reading for anyone joining this forum.

i have better and more radical proposal:  should close altcoin part of this forums altogether

42. FirstAfricanCoin https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=660769.0;topicseen | No account activity, 0,5% premine, of course IPO, they actually have PLANS and made RESEARCH to gain full support and acceptance as a currency in Africa

Thanks for bringing this to our attention OP.
I can confirm that these guys (no. 42) do not have a clue. They probably just copied most of their info from a wiki somewhere and I'll be keeping a close eye on them.

You still don't realize why NEM is actually a scam, oh well.  Roll Eyes

As much as Bitcoin is a scam in the eyes of many. We are here to stay.

Everyone thank you for correcting me. There have been many complains considering one of the coins listed above. I have updated the thread (blue parahraph) and removed mentioned coin from the list. Changes are always welcome, and if you feel like correcting me, don't hesitate to do that.

All best, and cya next monday!

Props to you for realising and fixing a mistake! Anyway, aside from the fact that some coins might not be intended as scams I think it's great to raise some awareness about all the shit coins which are being launched.
