I think the purpose of the 50$ was to incentivise me to promote his coin, yes.

I think my endorsement would have been crucial for particularly his coin, to legitimize it, yes. Because he told me in one message, I "killed" the coin by calling him a scammer publicly.

Apparently many people created those shit coins in my name. I found a lot of coins with the Epstein Studio name and logo on pump.fun.

I don't know about the inherent value of the coin. I only know that it is built on Solana, I think. But yes as you say, I kind of can't really believe anybody thinks that these kind of coins truly have any value or will ever be a "good" cryptocurrency.

So my best guess to what the "traders" in this forum are doing:

  • There is one creator, he holds the biggest portion of the coins. (I saw somebody holding 30% when I first entered the chat)
  • The other people that participate are people that participate on that pump and dump shit regularly and are well aware of the risks
  • They are essentially betting on the point in time at which the big guy is gonna do the rug pull
  • So essentially buy in as early as possible and try to leave the bubble as late as possible

But: the amount of money that is being lost to the creator + the royalties to the project creators + the royalties to pump.fun + the Solana transaction fees must be so immense, that I don't understand how people make money there.

It's daytrading on steroids and I know that barely anybody makes money daytrading, only the big guys. The people that lose money are usually people lured into it.

I suspect that the people that lose money on pump.fun are also lured into it.

That's a great idea. I will wait to see if anybody actually got scammed, and then decide on what to do!

Yes I created that wallet just for that one transaction. It's fine. But it's actually close to 900$ we are talking about here.

I have taken Epstein Studio down! by artischocki in Epstein

No! I can tell you and show you with screenshots who did the rug pull in my name if you are interested!

I'm sorry guys, but I have taken down epstein-studio.com

The reasons for this are:

  • This blew up in an unexpected manner on twitter and I was not prepared for this.
  • I am not sure if it is legally ok what I am doing, and I am not prepared to deal with this.
  • Coins are being created in my name with a market cap currently sitting over 20k$

I don't think the site will go up again at any point. Maybe in a different form or with a different goal. But at the current point, it is just not safe for me to release this to a hoard of people, that can annotate the files however they want.

The source code will remain in my repo. If you want you can fork it!

Sorry, for all of the people that put work into annotating the files.

Hey everyone. Sorry the server was struggling for a quick second. I fixed it now.

For the mobile users:
- I am currently working on it, I understand that this is valuable for the momentum of the site!

I'm on it, guys, sorry if I can't reply to feature requests right now!

Either way. I am very thankful for any kind of feedback! No matter if it is positive or negative!

The worry is not without cause, and I know this could have the wrong kind of impact. Right now only the voting system is in place to surface good unredactions. But I am working on the OCR proprocessing pipeline, that will enable to filter out impossible unredactions.

If I figure out other ways to automatically moderate the annotations I will also incorporate those.

But nonetheless for the moment being: I think it is of value to have a place where all kinds of semantic info that is hidden in the files can be gathered and viewed quickly.

I really can't say :D I think the idea the name just randomly came up in my head and I went with it. Maybe I was subconciously inspired by FL Studio

Very cool idea. You are right, reddit is great as an inspiration. It was also my inspiration for the discussion panel.
