Hi. I have some questions about altcoins. I see alot of dead ICO's about certain coins, essentially hijacking the coins name without using it. These are generally threads from 2013/2014, What would happen/is it possible to reuse the name of these coins without getting myself into any trouble etc?
Hard to say. Someone just released a TORcoin even though there has been one before. They easily got added to exchanges, etc. However, there has been a lot of confusion and I don't think it's worth it. You can brainstorm a new name. Of course, it depends on the name you want to use. Did they even get added to an exchange? etc. Regardless, can't see why you would want to be associated with a coin that's already dead. There are a lot of opportunities out there to pick up a dead coin that has an active chain and no developer. If you want to reuse a name, why not just hijack a whole coin?
