Scamattempt @bitcointalk: [ANN]BitFund:Descendant of BitShares

[JakeThePanda]

If he is serious and is willing to put in the effort it won't be stopped with a few scam posts.  Any attempt to stop it might just add more marketing fuel to the clone.  It is what it is, right?

The peculiar thing now is that this Fake is the best commercial for Bitshares on Bitcointalk. It just became apparent how serious the situation is. I'll start a thread to address this topic immediately.

Yhea .. That is true

We knew this would happen. Someone forks it and offers it for free for everyone who pays a small fee like happened to NXT with NEM. This may of course be a scam, but if it's like NEM - well, we don't yet know how well that will succeed. As a rational investor, it only makes sense to be interested.

Guessing its not got for platform (li-xolai)  and trust if someone just copy name and make such shady offering...my 2 cents

Someone recently did this with NXT; they created something called NEM and did this fair egalitarian distribution. If you're going to feed the trolls, feed them this: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=422129.0

Maybe "bitfund" was this same group, or maybe it's a copycat of a copycat. Why should we care? Isn't imitation the sincerest form of flattery? :)

maybe we should clarify things

Don't Feed the Trolls. Put a few warning as a kindness but there's no need to indulge them - it'll just use up energy better spent elsewhere.

But,em,I don't think anyone is going to pay for that thing.

That where I think you are wrong ..

Anyway, that post mentions some statements that are just wrong, most promimently:

Code Select Expand

just few people own the most,so who others want to get it,they need to buy it with high price.

Code Select Expand

unfair distribution

maybe we should clarify things

Use the "trust" feature on bitcointalk

I am offering my post which is (unfortunatelly) at the second page. Who can give me some nice text to post in order to prevent that scam and make people more interested in Bitshares!?
