The development team, in order to avoid layoffs, suddenly started talking about lofty words: "Community-issued tokens, you can earn transaction fees."

Think about whether those developers on GitHub would see this as a good opportunity. Dream on. Stacks of GitHub coins are just surfacing like this, from zero to full risk.

Those projects claiming to be community tokens? Most are just rebranded pump-and-dump schemes. Developers who see through this routine have long since wisely stayed away. Beware of projects claiming to "issue community tokens"—this is often the last straw for unemployed developers and the easiest trap for retail investors to fall into.

ngl, if you analyze the transaction patterns on these "community token" launches, the gas inefficiency alone is demonstrably a red flag... literally throwing away basis points on every mint. these devs aren't even optimizing their contract bytecode, which tells you everything about where their priorities actually are.

Another wave of "community token" harvesters, changing the soup but not the medicine, truly disgusting --- I can recite this routine backward and forward, GitHub coins are everywhere --- Pulling a "community" mask to manipulate the market, do they think we're fools? --- The last lifeline for unemployed developers, essentially a training camp for fund-raising schemes --- Developers have already left, leaving behind only retail investors trying to make quick money, none of them are good --- Using this trick again? I’ve already blacklisted such projects --- The term "transaction fee profit" makes me want to vomit, it's a classic Ponzi scheme --- GitHub is full of trash coins, who are the real developers still playing this game

Oh no, here comes another wave of "community token" scams. They never end. I'm tired of this trick. Developers start making up stories when they lose their jobs. GitHub coins are everywhere. Anyone who dares to touch them is a fool.

I've seen through this routine a long time ago, another round of "community tokens" scam. --- Huh? Transaction fees, laughable, clearly just trying to cut the leeks. --- GitHub developers aren't fools, this kind of scheme has been played out long ago. --- They just change the name and start over every time, retail investors really need to wake up. --- It's the last struggle of unemployed developers, so pitiful. --- Pump-and-dump games disguised as community projects, and some people actually believe it. --- Be cautious, do not touch any of these projects.

Playing this trick has long been exposed; seeing GitHub coins flying everywhere just shows how ridiculous it is.

Once again, it's the same old "community coin issuance" trick. Honestly, seeing through this scam is as easy as recognizing a smart contract rug pull. GitHub coins are everywhere, going from zero to liquidation so quickly, developers have caught on. Basically, it's just a rebranding pump-and-dump, the last lifeline for unemployed developers, and the favorite trap for retail investors. These days, there's not a single good one among those claiming to be community-driven to scam the sheep. I just want to know how many people will be fooled again this time into chasing this illusionary wool.
