LTC4YOU.com hacked, 5500 emails/passwords leaked

Figured this was worth posting here for visibility purposes. http://pastebin.com/gXUEveEE These are the e-mail addresses from the list, if you see yours in here, please change your passwords on every site/MPOS/etc that you might use. I do not know how old this particular dump is, I found it a few days ago and the site […]

In depth analysis of NXT

One of the things I’ve received the most requests for is an article about NXT. Billed as the “descendant of bitcoin”, it has set some pretty high expectations for itself. Does it live up to them? Let’s find out.

The gimmicks continue. Say hello to 42.

42. The answer to life, the universe, and everything… Except what the maximum amount of coins issued for an altcoin should be. 42 continues the trend of attempting to differentiate itself through the use of gimmicks, rather [ … ]

Avoiding Coins Created With Coingen

Some of you might be aware of a new service launched called coingen, which allows any idiot with about 0.2 BTC to make their very own crapcoin. Now, some of you might be saying: But Hazard, don’t you create coins for people as well? Well, yes, but the difference is that I’m always available for […]

This week in crapcoins

What a week it’s been. My head has been spinning at the sheer number of crapcoins being released. If you’re mining/invested in any of the coins I’m about to list off, it’s time for a reality check.

Scam Alert: Earthcoin

Earthcoin is another one of those crapcoins with some minor tweak that tries to pass itself off as a gamechanger. In this case, a slightly fluctuating block reward, supposedly in accordance with earth’s rotation, is this coin’s ‘killer feature’. Is this really what catches the altcoin scene’s attention now?

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 […]
