Title: Mystery Coins in My Account (PAYCASH & FAIRCOIN) What are these?
Post by: ironmonkeeeee on January 10, 2018, 01:35:49 am

Hi All,

I am stil ltrying to navigate my way around in Bitshares but have been actively moving my BTC in to OPen.BTC then on to OPEN.EOS & BTS. Today I noticed that there were 2 new coins listed in my account.

The first is PAYCASH with a quantity of 0.2 a transfer from "error404"
The second is FAIRCOIN with a quantity of 0.02 a transfer from "toolate1488"

Can anyone help me determine what these are and why they were sent to me?
Thanks in advance for your help!

Some coin creators are trying to promote their coins by giving some away for free, unasked. I consider that SPAM, mostly.
