You see, in the past a scam would never be profitable as it would have never gain traction and support of the community.

So, you think Litecoin is a scam? It is a clone of bitcoin, not even the first one.
no, i am just pointing out that coming up with guidelines like this is flawed. there are always exceptions to the rules. and in case of Litecoin, it is not scam, but at the same time it is not really doing anything special either. despite being profitable!Quote
Man, it's not minable - it's a scam, you will get to this sooner or later, no offence.
You mean it IS scam in its nature or will be threatened like scam by people?
What is the limitation? I mean you can make the exact same coin and make it minable, but in this case, you can't premine, or at least in past you couldn't, people will throw it in the garbage can. Non-minable coins are just a brand new pyramid, ponzi scheme.
Thx for elaborating this and allowing pre-mining contains the same high risk to be a scam.
