Coins that start with the devs with negative trust usually don't go far away.
I wouldn't have high hopes about DeepOnion future
you maybe right/wrong, but someone who has been here as long as you should know the rep system is abused. I simply disagree with the scam accusation because it proposes that the dev "may" scam by dumping the pre-mine coins before anyone else can. Because it 'may' be a scam in the future, doesn't make it a scam now. The scam accusation thread title should be renamed to a "warning" to the gullible at what may happen.
As for trust farming, I agree that this is wrong, but I also think that trust abuse is worse. If this turns out not to be a scam, just have a look at the damage the
red feedback has done.
In saying that, I'm sure that nearly every partaker in the Onion campaign is under no illusions at just what is possible. Except we haven't lost a shitload of ETH like those that backed ziber.io
Yeah you never know unless the trust is actually negative because of a real scam, not just speculation.
