Why easycoin is still around?

Especially, why is it listed in every hidden wiki? During last week of April only they stole at least $12,000 from the people (I know it because I was a fool too). Not everybody clever and aware enough to search through this forum first. If it's really impossible to find the owners, can we at least write everywhere in hidden google that's a scam?

The hidden wiki is a scam. Scammers aren't gonna go away because dumb dumbs fall for them.

Rofl people still use the hidden wiki? Shit is about as useful as the anarchists cook book.

Sure, flag it as a scam on every darknet wiki you find. Your warning will stay up for maybe an hour at best.

Let's think about this for a second: you're talking about an anonymously-hosted wiki that anyone can edit, anonymously, combined with a technology that allows non-refundable payments over the internet. There is literally no way whatsoever to combine those two technologies together and not have the wiki be filled to the brim with scams. It's simply not a reasonable thing to expect or attempt.

The answer is not to censure these scams, as that will have no effect, but rather to promote basic education and common sense among people about the inherent untrustworthiness of sites like the Hidden Wiki. Subreddits like /r/deepweb and /r/onions, as awful and uneducated as most of their users are, generally do a decent job of getting this point across.

TL;DR: Anonymous wikis will always be full of scams, there is literally nothing that can be done to correct this, and therefore the answer is to avoid anonymous wikis, not to try to stop a flood with a teaspoon.

if you use the hidden wiki then you deserve to be robbed.
