Wow, a lot of heated discussion here. Can someone please summarize as for why DeepOnion is a scam?
(Yeah, "domination tasks" or whatever they were called seemed shady, but other than that?)
Well 'a scam' is not a term I use... but I do think there are some fundamentals that are very wrong..
Firstly a large pre-mine is held by the dev (3 Million coins there is also I think another 2 or 3 Million for bounties.. which only about 60,000 have been used.. leaving almost the full amount you'd have to fact check the latter part). Which is essentially 16% of coins held by dev confirmed... up to 25% depending on how much 'bounty' funds remain unused.
So from that perspective the person who benefits by far the most is the dev...
The conditions of the Airdrop (which may have changed) that essentially require numerous positive posts per week to gain your funds I think is unethical..
The way the BCT thread is moderated is an issue.. All comments which do not put them in a good light are removed; for example when I asked them to stop spamming our Discord channel it was basically swept under the rug.. There is essentially censorship of opinion.
To sum it up, The dev has the most to gain, he gives the community a fraction in comparison whereby they have to adhere to a strict set of rules or risk losing their eligibility. It seems like the community members are the product he's trying to sell
