If you say so, for what i know some users that are making PoB coins are increasing and who knows which one are doing with for real things or just for speculation, anyway i know that BARR_Official checks bit1 dead coin list for sure but i don't know for the others
I recently started a thread asking questions about BanxShares. That thread led to a cointelegraph article, and that led to BanxShares being delisted from coinmarketcap.
The people from BanxShares hinted that they would find me and get revenge, and they said "karma is a bitch".
When we launched the ANN for BARR, people started creating new sockpuppet accounts and spamming the thread.
Then 3 other "proof of burn" coins were announced, after BARR. I don't believe any of them are real coins, including intristin's coin. He doesn't have a coin, he doesn't have a name for the coin, and he doesn't have details about how it will work. But he claims that he's been working on it for 6 months. But even though he said he's not hiding behind a fake account, he's only been a member here for 1 month.
So there is no "trend" of proof-of-burn coins. There is only BARR, and some people who are trying to confuse everyone.
