CrapCoin of the day: Pennies

No, not the US government penny, although that is a pretty crappy coin too. I’m talking about Pennies (CENT), a PoS coin originally released by shakezula. This coin is so hilariously bad that I don’t even know where to start. CENT was originally released on shakezula’s (low traffic) website and only casually mentioned in cryptsy […]

Crapcoin of the day: Bitbar

There are some coins out there that don’t need (or deserve) a full length article to tell you how awful they are. Perhaps the finest example of this is BitBar. Bitbar has the honor of having the largest premine/instamine in the history of cryptocurrency, putting even coins like megacoin and feathercoin to shame. Take a […]

Quark – Is it worth buying?

I’ve always had somewhat of a soft spot for Quark. It was a quirky little CPU mined coin that launched with a very unique hashing mechanism, yet faded into obscurity in part due to how horribly it was managed. And yet here I am writing an article about it… Why, you ask? Quark is up […]

Digitalcoin (DGC) was one of those coins that was launched during the altcoin flood back in May. While coins of this era were typically defined by egregious premining/instamining and generally […]

An in depth look at feathercoin, the coin that started it all

Oh, where do I begin… Feathercoin, the original litecoin copycat that sparked the great altcoin flood of 2013. Actually, describing it as a copycat is giving it too much credit. Feathercoin is actually a fork of litecoin. You see, the developer, bushstar, displayed absolute bare minimum competence when creating this coin. One of the most […]

Crytocurrency is inflationary, not deflationary

One thing that irks me is how many people view cryptocurrency as deflationary. Sure, in the longterm they are, but how many coins will last that long? With over 100 coins out there now, many of them having block rewards for several decades, it is unlikely that any of them will ever reach the point […]

Bitcointalk soon to return after four days of downtime

After 4 days of being down, it seems that bitcointalk is soon to return. Shortly after acknowledging the hack and offering a 50 BTC reward for a fix, Theymos seemingly went MIA, leading many to speculate that the hack was a ruse and the servers were actually taken by the feds for use in the […]
