Hi guys. Sure many won't read this which is unfortunate, as these sorts of scams happen all the time both in the real world and cyrpto. I was also surprised to wake up this morning to find my portfolio increased $6k+ in value. Did some research on the coin.

Make no mistake: This is an exact carbon copy of the real life "You've won a million dollars, simply send us $25 for a bank transfer fee so we can send it to you!" scam. No different whatsoever. It seems you cannot access the 32,000 tokens without paying money to join the "mining" which costs both money and 30+ years of your time. As I said, a carbon copy of the real life version of the scam, just done with a crypto shade.

Unfortunately, like all these scams, the scammers will make a lot of money anyway to people that fall for them. That's why they exist.

I saw on their website I can burn my genesis address. Well, there is no way I'm going to pay ETH fees to burn a scam token that was sent to me without permission, since why should anyone have to pay money to dispose of junk mail? Fortunately, I found another free solution: I came across this link on Etherscan which can ignore spam/scam tokens like this: https://info.etherscan.com/private-token-ignore-list-feature/

Simply set the contract address in the ignore list, and it will no longer artificially inflate your portfolio. I hope in future Etherscan doesn't list frozen coins as having any portfolio value so we don't need to manually ignore them. If anyone could communicate this suggestion to the Etherscan team I think that would be a good thing for the platform, and will also save a lot of less-educated people from losing their money. No one enjoys having fake, artificially inflated portoflio prices from ponzi scam coins that are frozen, as it makes it harder to keep track of one's actual portfolio.

Sorry to necro this (in the age of google can it be helped?) but I think we all need to start a central place where we can all log our withdrawals stuck in "Processing". Mine has been stuck in this status for one month now. Is there a central place we can all group to keep a log of outstanding processing status?

I often like to discuss altcoin development, particularly related to writing smart contracts on Ethereum & EOS, however I'm not aware of any board on BCT designed for this as the development forums are specifically related only to Bitcoin. My suggestion is to add a "Development" or "Technical Discussion" section for altcoins.

The majority are, but not all. There are also some solid projects there.

The whole cryptocurrency movement has been cuckolded by KYC, particularly ICOs. A decentralized currency outside of centralized control should never require KYC, end of story, period. The current "leaders" in ICO launches and this industry generally don't give a shit about what blockchain is all about, or why it was created. These con artists could not launch an IPO the proper way due to their lack of business experience, so they launch their ICOs hijacking the decentralization idea, creating a parody out of it with their con-tokens, and causing huge financial losses for investors at the same time.

What ever happened to DAOs and tokens that run these DAOs? Since when did cryptocurrency cuck itself so bad that it's now centralized and bowing and curtailing to the very people that it was originally created to avoid?

What token equity % would you pay for your managers. I mean % of total supply.

No, the precise reason blockchain exists is because it can't be regulated. The moment you can regulate it, it becomes pointless and loses its function.

6 months jail per infringement? Damn that's beautiful karma. Will make me positively feel good about missing out on the bounty.

How can this coin be on CMC without bounty tokens released yet? This is seriously bullshit.

It's irritating to see people saying that after a 20% crash (which happened a week ago or so), that 1 or 2% daily recoveries is a good sign for the market. It's not.

Interesting, some questions

1) Why no SSL on your site, are the funds really this short?

2) How much for 1% of the total tokens?

What team? Block.one has said their job is done. They are no longer involved in the launch of EOS, and in my opinion the community is not yet mature enough to launch it either. In all honesty the project has turned to shit imho.

I used to believe in EOS, but not any longer. Block.one has double dipped big time, receiving $4 billion in the ICO as well as 100 million tokens, and even with this refuses to do anything to help the mainnet launch in the name of decentralization. This is delusional. Let's see if Cardano is more grounded in reality.

And after you write your 30 articles a month, you'll be lucky if even 3 of them do not turn out to be scams and actually pay you $70 each after the ICO price crashes 10 times.

I strongly suggest you both read into the problem EOS solves. I honestly haven't been so hyped about a coin since Bitcoin. Basically, it eliminates all the issues with blockchain currently since your staked EOS will allocate you a guaranteed % of the blockchain CPU. For instance, say you own 0.0001% of the EOS token supply. You will always be allocated that amount of computational power which by itself will always be enough to process at least one transaction a minute. How is that idea not revolutionary, game changing, and a solution to all the issues currently plaguing blockchain?

There's been a steady crash in the markets since January, with no sign of the hype from 2017 returning. There is a lot of hype however around EOS which is about to launch any time now. It has immense collaboration from multiple big and experienced teams from all over the world, quite unlike any other blockchain before it. I think with the plethora of possibilities on the EOS platform, blockchain may again receive the hype it did last year.

What do you think?

The beauty of blockchain is that it cannot be banned. So in essence, nothing to worry about.

I agree and would have given the same advise myself, but in hindsight how did this piece of advise go for him do you think?

The reality is that the majority of people don't really care one way or the other. Whether we use centralized systems with governments manipulated by selfish and clueless people, or decentralized systems that are trustless, people just want to do things. 95% of people just want to go about their daily lives and couldn't care less.

That's why for Bitcoin and blockchain to take off and to replace government and corporate controlled central services, it will require the cyberphunk, libertarian, and various other visionary movements to really push through with their visions, and insist upon them politically, socially and financially. The change will come from 5%. The other 95% will just follow whatever the order is. Change the order at the top, and you change everything.

Until then the government will not be one that will willingly hand over its power to decentralized systems. They are corrupt and beautiful wordsmiths that con the majority of people thinking they act in their best interests. They're not going to suddenly hand over their power to a democratic trustless system. When however "we" get into power, we hopefully will see past the personal greed and make the transition for society possible.
