I couldn't agree with you more we need to work together to make sure coins are as you say "legit".  The problem is PoD doesn't make sure that coins are legit.  We need to figure out a better system.  I am sorry I can only point out the faults in PoD and cannot offer a better solution.  This doesn't change the fact that PoD doesn't work. Nor does it protect anyone from being scammed. The sooner PoD is dead the sooner people will start to work on a new system to stop scammers.

Remember this,  you can put a Band-Aid on a broken leg.  That won't help your broken leg.  You have to fix the problem.  You can't just pretend something is helping when it isn't.
