So there is a question if a BIP, native coin of Minter, should be stable, valued at $1 for example. The answer is simple: Hell, No!
The nature of money is to be adjustable to the needs of people, or agents as typically referred in economic theories. Money as a grand child of goods must be valued by the demand in the community, and every stabilisation, I mean to the cent, is simply making a market unfair for some of us. When we talk about pegged or algorithmic crypto-dollars we are not stabilising the situation but rather bringing it to one simple understanding for everyone. As then we all convert USD to our local currencies or use it to value services.
BIP can and will be used to create stable coins, but only to serve niche need of communities, projects and countries. And those coins will be stable regardless of the ventures in relatively outside world. For example USD is pretty stable for US citizens but doubled in price for Russians and Ukrainians.
Stability is the key to success of any economy, but comes as a result, but not a goal.

The #SCAM Coin
We created the #SCAM coin. In the upcoming week, we will distribute it among top validators who will then be able to mark malicious addresses at their own discretion. The addresses of validators themselves will not possess the mark (a lifetime whitelist); they will just act as storage for the coin. Over time, the top 100 delegators will also receive #SCAM to be further transferred to the actors engaged in wrongdoing.
The coin does not have any value, and votes flow only in two directions: Team address -> Validator/Delegator -> Scammer. This means that any address that will get #SCAM from validators and top delegators will be automatically added to the blacklist to be shared with all Liquidity Providers.
#SCAM can be sent in any amount, and its weight depends exclusively on the share of the validator or stake of the delegator. Meaning if someone flags your address but their stake is insignificant, the trust to such a reaction will be close to zero. And vice versa: 0.01 #SCAM from the BTCSecure-level validator can put operations of a particular address to an end.
We want to stress the fact that the network itself does not limit the actions of the addresses. What it does, though, is highly recommend that the community does not cooperate with a given actor.
Those who thought we had the Wild West here have certainly set their time machine for a wrong period.
If you remember, we initially had an idea to label illicit addresses with #KARMA, but we eventually decided to introduce a specific coin for straightforward scams. With it, no one will make a mistake spotting such an account.

DYOR, which stands for “Do Your Own Research,” must be the only guiding principle for anyone in the blockchain space. Below is the story of one particular scam coin on the Minter network, and one particular man who suddenly decided to take responsibility for its creation. Take a read so that you don’t fall for such fraudulent schemes, ever.
