3 WTF things in the crypto world

3 WTF things in the crypto world

By yanis | little crypto guides | 4 Aug 2020


Hello bitcoiners

 

In the crypto, there isn't only bitcoin and ethereum. There are also projects that looks like jokes but all these projects really exist !

 

1 - Is it a ponzi ? Yes ! Is it proud of that ? Yes !!!

Ponzi schemes aren't always hidden, and promising high yield while saying it's legit. The ""piramid of richness" is a ponzi and is proud of that.

It's on lightning network (based on etleneum patform that allows to make smart contracts) and the principle is very sample :

  • 1 - deposit 100 sats
  • 2 - wait
  • 3 - get 200 sats if contract balance sufficient

 

What do I think about ?

Phew, a ponzi that doesn't hide its nature !

disclaimer : Don't deposit to this website, u will probably loose them, and I'm not responsible of losses you would make

 

2 - A bitcoin miner... running on ethereum

Solidity-Miner is a sha256 miner that runs on ethereum (or any evm-compatible blockchain). We can deploy it using metamask (but it will syphoon gas and overload the chain).

For more informations, I already talked about it in this article

 

My opinion about

There are more efficient ways to use a chain for securing another, but this is probably the most fun/strange. It only use a bit too much gas...

3 - Shitcoin ? No, poopcoin

Poopcoin was made by san francisco city with a sample idea : more poops there're, more token is expensive. So poopcoin holders earn when their city is dirty. Finally, the idea didn't run (and maybe it's better)

 

What do I say about it ?

This joke feels a bit shit.

 

 

It's the end of this article (sorry, I didn't have other).

If you liked it, please give a tip and a like, I find it so rewarding.

If you know other strange projects, plz talk about in the comments, there're made for that, and I will be happy of adding them to the article

 

How do you rate this article?
