BlackCoin

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Non-notable cryptocurrency whose only reliable source comes from a Wall Street Journal blog amidst a sea of coin blogs. Has only been occasionally edited minorly by IPs. Can't seem to find anything else in terms of a verifiable, reliable source for this coin. Citation Needed &#x007C;  He cites it for free.  13:52, 7 September 2014 (UTC)

 * Weak Keep For a crypto coin the article seems to have a reasonable amount of sourcing from coin-related blogs as well as a little bit of coverage from real news sources (WSJ and Financial Times bloggers, from the looks of it). Some of the sources only provide trivial mentions, though, and I'm not sure of the reliability of "payments source" and the coin blog. Breadblade (talk)


 * There is over 50 articles we can cite. Several published in different countries as well. In arabic and portuguese. Will post shortly. Blackcoins BlackHalo was the worlds first smart contracting program. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.101.95.200 (talk) 06:13, 9 September 2014 (UTC)
