Re: CoinRobin - Bitcoin Horror Stories, Scams and Complaints
First off: this is the right place. It's a project, it's Bitcoin related and it's in development:)
Personally, I think side projects like these are great for the wider community. You've got those like historyofbitcoin.org that are friendly snapshots of Bitcoin events (I can't remember the site that revived and continued the timeline). And like you say, a lot review and news site. This definitely falls into the "lighter side" of Bitcoin.
I have only seen one other website like this, it was also posted here (Humans of TOR) a few months back but has since been taken down. Users submitted their personal stories about using TOR - all of them of course involved their first experiences with Bitcoin to buy drugs, hire hackers, etc. With these kinds of stories though, you'd expect a fair bit of dramatisation, if not outright fantasy
Carry on! Maybe some of us can add content.
Badbitcoin's a different type of site, I think coinrobin's deliberately satirical:)

Ok, this is kinda cruel, is it not? Why would you want to laugh at other people's misfortune? If you said, that you would do this to educate and warn people, then I would have agreed with you. The other disadvantage of this site, is the information that are being provided to scammers to do this to other people. < scammers education guide >
Nope, I do not like the idea at all. www.badbitcoin.org - The Badbitcoin Project is a much better idea.
