Subject appears non-notable: yet another Bitcoin fork, with no reliable sources to speak of. atomicthumbs‽ (talk) 01:34, 15 December 2013 (UTC)

Delete the only "sources" backing this coin are technical documentations released by the author. 02:18, 15 December 2013 (UTC)

• Delete - Could not find any reliable sources using Google, just forums, blogs and project sites. Not notable. Looks like yet another attempt at using Misplaced Pages to promote a pyramid scheme. Smite-Meister (talk) 15:33, 15 December 2013 (UTC)

• Delete per above, my searches haven't turned up RS coverage either. Mark Arsten (talk) 01:31, 16 December 2013 (UTC)
• Keep, as it actually is the first coin to use the scrypt algorithm correctly, c.f. the twitter of the scrypt creator at ]78.52.81.125 (talk) 01:57, 16 December 2013 (UTC)

The twitter of the creator really isn't what WP policy considers a reliable source. Smite-Meister (talk) 15:01, 16 December 2013 (UTC)

• Delete - electronic currency article of unclear notability, lacking significant coverage in reliable sources. A search did not turn up any significant RS coverage. Article was created by an SPA as possibly promotional.Dialectric (talk) 01:43, 17 December 2013 (UTC)

• Keep, is a unique altcoin that has had a market capitalisation in the millions of dollars (is tracked by coinmarketcap) though lately it has fallen a bit. Mathmo 04:10, 17 December 2013 (UTC)

• ≈Keep Yacoin is so young that no traditional academic sources have been able to review and publish information about it. Misplaced Pages's policies are self-destructive when they prevent the free publication of information because of something as archaic as publication cycles. Ditto for most other cryptocurrencies.Cypherious (talk) 06:02, 17 December 2013 (UTC)

• Delete spam article about non-notable software. InShaneee (talk) 06:15, 17 December 2013 (UTC)
