Who manages that list? Why do you trust it?
edit: I looked through the site and most of the "scams" seemed more like basic phishing sites than actual blockchains or cryptocurrencies
- DonHopkins 8y agoYour anecdote is irrelevant. Scam sites usually give up their bitcoin related domains when they fail, which invariably get taken over by basic phishing sites. You should look on the Internet Archive to see what the scam sites were actually doing, before they went out of business and had their domains taken over by phishers. Funny that you trust and parrot Bitcoin scammers, but you don't trust a list of Bitcoin scammers. Afraid some you've invested in, hyped and promoted yourself might show up?

- decentralised 8y agoWhat anecdote? I've pointed out that most of the scams didn't actually involve a blockchain or tokens, as the SEC cases against a few of them show. The question of who manages the list is important so we can tell what method was used and what's the motivation to keep it. One of the areas I'm most interested is cryptoeconomics and of course fairness and transparency matter to me which is why I wonder why would you defend this site as if you knew it to be true and accurate.
- DonHopkins 8y agoYour anecdote about looking through the site. How could you possibly not understand that? Nothing I said in any way was a defense of the site. Where did you get that idea? You're obviously not reading anything that I wrote, and just trying to be contrary to make it sound like you're making an argument. Please don't bother replying if you can't understand what I'm saying, and make stuff up that I didn't say.
