I wouldn't be angry at Mintpal too much. When BC is valued more widely, shitcoins will not be a problem. People have a choice - they can buy any coin they want. If they are careless enough to buy the Nth clone - fine. We need to evolve in healthy competition.

that is not the problem.

the problem is the instant pump any new coin gets, and almost always BC is "on the receiving end".
The drill is the same every single time:
1. The people with insider info start to dump BC before the new coin goes live
2. less smart people see the BC price drop seemingly w/o reason and panic sell
3. the guys who knew that the new coin will come dump the new coin, come back to BC and buy the then-cheap BC back.
4. the people who got burned on that and lost their BC won't ever buy BC again

I agree, but I believe it's impossible to eradicate in the world of crypto. Once we get the right momentum, it won't be a problem. Look at DRK - doesn't seem to suffer form the drill.

that is because of DRK constantly being bought and pumped by their own dev and/or community Wink

Don't forget that DRK is a monster scam with 2 out of 4.x million coins premined.

So far AUR has been the most epic P&D. We may have a challenger then
