We’re as excited for Altcoin Season as the next guy, but have we considered how many altcoins there are, or how many fail? When cryptocurrencies fail, they get added to a coffin titled “Dead Coins”. These coins become dead when there is no longer being traded and therefore lose value. The blockchain still remains, and plenty of investors, but that’s another story we’ll get to. We’re going to take an immersive look at 5 failed crypto coins of 2019 so far, spanning several industries and functions.

Did you know that over 60% of launched ICOs end up as dead coins before they get listed or within their first year of operating. Plenty of factors can come into play, we’ve seen CEO’s drop out, exit scams, pyramid schemes, entire teams dropping off the face of the planet. The causes of death can be endless, but one thing is for sure - people lost money. 
Let’s take a look at 5 of the biggest Dead Coins this year so far:

5. Dead Coin: OChain
“A public, permissionless infrastructure cloud designed to host the next-generation of software and services”
OChain has an impressive website, social channels, and created their ZCN crypto, but they have been labelled a scam, an exit scam. After raising $39 million, their front man quit within the first 6 months post ICO. With no mainnet and no working product, they have little to show their investors. Cited to have an incompetent CEO, the roadmap has been delayed for a year and the project has not lived up to the promises it made. 

4. Dead Coin: Sp8de
“A blockchain-based platform for unbiased public randomness. The game of chance has changed: “traditional” interactive gaming systems and the nascent domain of decentralized gaming applications will now enjoy a myriad of new opportunities.”
Sp8de (SPX) was dubbed a great project but just failed to keep it together. Evidently almost the entire team has left, and investors are unsure whether the project was poorly managed, or a scam from the beginning. After raising $5.3 million worth of Ether, investors have become despondent and the project has been declared deceased.

3. Dead Coin: Plus Token
“New Global revolution mobile wallet to store your crypto currency. Mobile wallet for Android and iOS”
This South Korean crypto wallet has been accused of orchestrating an elaborate exit scam. After raising $3 million, investors soon realised the company was more of a Ponzi Scheme than the investment they were promised. The project also has some vague aspects to it, like the owner being “Mr Leo” and no evidence to support the “arbitrage bot” that will generate their ROIs. If you didn’t see the signs, you probably lost out on quite a chunk. 

2. Dead Coin: GreenPower
“GreenPower is the global rewards currency you can collect and redeem at merchants around the world”
GreenPower has been identified as a scam following their parent company’s Ponzi Scheme exposure. As DasCoin collapsed, GreenPower was thrown into the limelight and identified too to be a fraud. It seems that the same people are behind the two companies, so beware, and avoid with caution.

1.Dead Coin: Sirinlabs Token
“State-of-the-art, ultra-secure mobile device with an embedded cold storage wallet”
This just blew the whole can of worms open. While not technically declared dead yet, SirinLabs is being labelled as a dead coin due to the class action lawsuits against them. The CEO behind this project has appeared in numerous court battles revolving around scams and fraudulent activity revolving around three ICOs; Stox ICO, the Sirin Labs ICO and the LeadCoin ICO. According to ICO-class-action.org, there are a total of 52 people interested in filing a new lawsuit against Sirin Labs.

So what happens to all the investors that lost out on money, all the coins that currently have no value, and all the blockchains created but giving back nothing? Well, nothing. Until the fine folk behind CoinJanitor came to clean up the ecosystem. They offer investors a trade in of their dead coins for a JAN coin (the native cryptocurrency), and burn the dead coins, recycling value and making a more robust cryptosphere. With big weight partners supporting their efforts, CoinJanitor works with the likes of DeadCoin and Selfkey. CoinJanitor is cleaning crypto and recycling lost value by buying failed projects and dead coins.

I think this list is not complete, there are hundreds of coins out there with very low transaction volume, the community is not working. These coins will soon disappear in the near future

I don't think that every altcoins will be the talk of the town reason been that particular altcoins is not active in the cryptocurrency industry it maybe dead or dumped and forgotten, unless there's anything like recycling in the cryptocurrency market but a dead coin is valueless there are many of them the owners has abandoned the project.

The problem is that new coins are not being listed on exchanges, therefore no trade.

I don't think 60% is an accurate number, the real number is more close to 90%+ than 60%, in fact, it is normal for an ICO to fail these days and what is not normal is to success and that is the real sad fact  but it is a fact we can't just ignore it, from the past 15 ICOs I joined and participated in only one managed to make it and even that one got listed on a shitty exchange and all the rest just failed.

Many altcoins are scams, and others are failed projects. This is normal. People try and fail. That's why you should not put funds in one project only.

Here, on this forum, we have an advantage, We can sell to like minded people. Also, some decentralized exchanges, allow you,  to add your ERC20 token. There is no need to wait for listing.

  • it will always be a conversation if the coin does not sell or it can be said that the project failed, but if the entire city that talks about it is impossible because not everyone knows what crypto is
