There are so many bad cryptocoins that trying to build an "exhaustive" list is futile.

Are you distinguishing between plain scams, clueless founders with good intentions, penny stock coins that are easy to manipulate, joke coins, heavy premined coins, centralized coins that pretend to be a cryptocoin, coins with a dead chain, ...?

Very true, I think the easiest place to start is with plain scams and dead chains. My idea was to provide a warning to newbies of projects you really should steer clear of.

Might be worth adding a small note or identifier beside each submission to explain why that particular coin is considered to be “bad crypto”.
