Is a $500k market cap scam even worth discussing? What about all the ethereum projects raising 6-7 figures with little more than a whitepaper? And often even with heavy criticism about a broken security model.

There is no latest scam in cryptocurrency. By the time you've finished writing the article another has already popped up.

If anything you are helping these guys by giving them visibility.

A $500k market cap is really nothing to write about. Market cap is a broken metric anyway.

But the article is a nice how-to for your own crypto coin and there were lots of worse coins he could have forked off than shadowcoin. :-)

Perhaps the author bought her(his?)self some Torcoin before publishing?
