I think we need this stickied.
We need a guide to safety looking for alt coins, knowing what to look for in order to identify a scam.
First rule; Spelling errors.
I am very new to alt-coins, so I'm sure many of you have some advice to give.
The recent rise of the popularty of bitcoin and many other cryptocurrencies, has lead of course to people abusing this to scam others and make a lot of money, the easiest way to avoid scam is to just stick to the main cryptocurrencies that are well known, but if you are determined to invest in others you should be able to determine who is scaming and who is not, usaly the scam coins will be not listed on the exchange sites, the webiste of the coin is suspicous, thier team will be a bunch of random people, they have no whitepaper or the coin's source code does not exists.
