Re: [ICO=OPEN] CombiCoin: the cryptocurrency that is 100% asset backed by the top 30
Hmm, I see no reason to drop Bitconnect. Yes, there is a high probability that this is a scam. But if the coin meets the conditions - it should be included in the list of assets. And even if its price becomes zero, then it will not affect the CombiCoin's value by more than 1/30. After all, this is the essence and one of advantages of the CombCoin. 
Maybe they should include "no scam coins/ponzi schemes" as one of the conditions... 98+% of their BCC trading volume comes from their own "exchange". They can pump up the price/volume/market cap with fake transactions. They're also listed here as a known ponzi: http://www.badbitcoin.org/thebadlist/Vitalik Buterin and other notable figures have already denounced them.
I don't know about you, but I don't want to lose 3,33% if I can easily avoid it. Every % counts in the long term.
Furthermore, buy buying these coins you're also supporting those fraudsters/thieves which is morally questionable.
I fully agree. It will not go down well with the public at large when they learn that CombiCoin included a known scam such as BCC. We want to get as many people involved as possible at the end of the day, not chase them away, especially those who are new to cryptos. BCC is expected to fail around December the 9th - at current levels it will represent a loss of 3.80% and who knows how much in terms of reputational damage. Rules are rules, but are no good when it fail to protect us from scammers. Rules should be there to serve us. Not the other way around. In addition, it will provide the authorities with an incentive and/or excuse to step in. Is that really what we want? We better get our own house in order before they do it for us.
