Hi,

I've been seeing that cryptocurrency is used again and again for scams against Indians in this forum, outside and in the real world.

We can see trybitcoin.in and scams like that being actively promoted
We can see MLM scams being promoted like gainbitcoin and powerhashing
We can see coins like Mudra coin ruining India's name in the bitcoin community here
We can see people selling miners with false claims for exorbitant prices
We can see other forums like Quora being used to promote MLM and ponzi schemes
We can see in real life people being scammed to start investing in false cryptocurrencys.
Yet the educated cryptocurrency community here does very little.
i

Posts which are promoting sites such as trybitcoin.in should be flagged, trust should be negative and their posts should be removed.
Any allegations against coins (mudra, trestor) should be taken seriously and their teams should come up with relevant and responsible replies.
We should have pinned posts and posts with lists of scams as well as guides for new people to cryptocurrencies, informing how to find if a coin is a scam and a list of verified scam coins/sites as well as a guide on ponzi schemes
Coins like Mudra should be scrutinized and reported as soon as it is posted!

For Quora, I found that specially these two Indians are dedicated completely to get people into Ponzi schemes and they then get referral money - and they do it from highly educated individuals.

Here are some scams from those two troublemakers on Quora - and look at the comments - people actually believe them and lose money!

https://www.quora.com/What-are-the-biggest-mistakes-youve-made-in-your-career-development-or-job-choices/answer/Asma-Khan-47?srid=tno3 - when she said Hashocean is the best
https://www.quora.com/What-are-some-of-the-Indian-Scams/answer/Asma-Khan-47?srid=tno3 - now she says its a scam
https://www.quora.com/Is-cloud-mining-of-bitcoins-or-other-crypto-currencies-a-scam/answer/Asma-Khan-47?srid=tno3 - now wants ref money from genesis mining
There are much more, look at her profile: https://www.quora.com/profile/Asma-Khan-47

Take a look at Shishir too:
https://www.quora.com/How-can-I-earn-huge-by-mining-bitcoins-at-home-using-my-own-hardware - Endorsing Asma
https://www.quora.com/What-is-business-to-do-with-1lakh-or-below-capital - Promoting Genesis with ref code
He even made a video endorsing hashocean: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oXk9jFIn4gg

And they dub themself as research scholars on Bitcoin

Lets create a healthy cryptocurrency community here

yeh there is lots of scams over here,,as i found ONE coin and wow coin are not safe nor better for investment ,even they dont have any open system information.
