Even more Skycoin FUD
Because Skycoin is such a comprehensive blockchain ecosystem, it is regarded as a threat by many other crypto platforms.
The Skycoin currency itself is lightning fast, with free transactions, which threatens other fast low-fee coins like XRP and XLM. Skycoin is private and anonymous (via the CoinJoin protocol), which threatens privacy coins like Monero and Dash. Skycoin has a full programming language (CX) for creating games, apps and smart contracts, as well as a platform for launching ICOs (Fiber), which threatens projects like Ethereum, EOS and Cardano. Skycoin has a decentralized meshnet solution (Skywire) which threatens decentralized Internet projects like Substratum and Holochain.
For this reason, the FUD targeted at Skycoin is relentless. This page consolidates all the FUD discovered over the past year across Reddit, 4Chan and Twitter. Most of this FUD has already been addressed in other sections of SkyFUD.com. The rest is so ridiculous that it's not even worth addressing, and much of it is just mindless abuse and name-calling, such as "Synth has autism!" or "Synth is a coke-addict!".
But it's all being included here anyway for the sake of completeness, and because some of it is quite amusing.
The FUD often comes in the form of "pasta" or "copypasta", meaning blocks of text that are repeatedly copied and pasted into discussions, irrespective of the fact that they've been debunked countless times before.

Skycoin FUD Copypasta 3
I've been doing some research in SkyCoin after seeing it shilled heavily on Twitter recently and what I have discovered has raised a lot of red flags. This is a brief summary of my findings in bullet form (I can go into more detail and link to evidence for every one of these if anyone would like to learn more about this shady project).
CEO sounds like a lunatic who lies and exaggerates about everything
Community manager Sudo has created a toxic community of moonboys (their telegram is just 'when moon, when lambo' repeatedly
Team is mostly anonymous, nobody knows who’s really in control of anything
Telegram room is dead - mostly just bots and schoolkids bickering about the price
Insider trading among the early investors seems to be very common according to reports
Partnership with self-confessed drug taker John McAfee (bad for any crypto project)
McAfee's "tattoo" may be fake and was most likely paid for
SkyCoin lied about a partnership with Binance (Binance has never confirmed it)
Sold "miners" to idiots for $20,000 to mine a pre-mined token WTF?
Claim to have 9500 nodes deployed but each Sky Miner has 1-8 nodes so it's really only 1000-2000 actual nodes
Desktop wallet doesn't work, takes forever to sync and then the SkyCoin tokens go missing
iOS wallet has been rejected by Apple in China due to potentially breaking the law
Their much publicized antennas for the Sky Miners still doesn't exist (all they produced are CGI renders)
They released a hardware wallet but it hasn't been independently tested - beware, it could steal your coins
Coin Hours tokens are literally worthless
SkyCoin token has no function on the network, not used for anything
The SkyCoin "blockchain" is just a database running on a server (no consensus algorithm)
The only games or apps running on Skycoin CX are literal rubbish like pacman and flappybirds
Very little real GitHub activity (mostly just updating PDFs) which suggests team has stopped developing
SkyCoin CEO already faked his own kidnapping as an excuse to dump millions of coins
All the ICOs/projects launched on SkyCoin Fiber have already exit scammed
This is just a warning so people can do their own research and stay away from scammy projects. There are much better projects out there to invest in. SkyCoin token price has been dumping for months which indicates the devs might be exit scamming.

Skycoin FUD Image
This one comes in the form of an image, and then there is another image often posted in reply that debunks the original image. These appear to have been created in late 2018 when there were only 7,900 Skyminer nodes in the network.

Skycoin Lore 1
It's unclear whether this copypasta is intended as FUD or simply entertainment. It depicts members of the Skycoin team as demonic entities with intent to enslave the world.
For many centuries, the desolate crypt lay forgotten. Then, one moonless night, you arrive at the cavern entrance. Dismounting your steed, you walk toward the foreboding cave. As you enter, the atmosphere grows heavy and a sense of terror chills your heart. You hear a faint demonic chanting grow louder as you descend beneath the surface, and you soon find yourself in some sort of perverse necromancer haven, a hellish temple deep beneath the earth.
Ahead, upon an altar squats a lone figure with a black cowl draped over his face. He appears to be preparing the corpse of some vile beast. With deep trepidation, you move further into the crypt, littered with rotting corpses and occult symbols, and you approach the dark lord. In this shadowy den, a faint torch barely illuminates the dank fetid walls. But something moves. A creature of the night, evil, ferocious and deadly. Synth smiles, his green skin glowing faintly. He raises his arm, and the dark chant continues. As the rhythmic words flow from his tongue, slowly in the shadows appears a black winged beast, talons dripping with the blood of countless enemies. Its razor sharp fangs glisten in the flickering torchlight, crimson eyes blaze through the dark, salivating as it smells its prey.
This hideous worm king has conjured a most foul creature. With caustic talons and putrid breath, its fangs drip with the blood of a thousand victims. The Sudo awakens, and its hunger is strong. Quietly, from beyond the grave, it ascends. Its fangs gleam in the torchlight, blood drips from vile and deadly talons, and it approaches. A low, unearthly growl emanates - a snarl, from deep within hell. Black wings unfold, and still it approaches. A malice born from the abyss, bending its mind to one purpose - one singular task to appease its summoner. Thus the dread creature of doom, the Sudo is reborn, for it knows the prophecy is fulfilled. The long night of the Sudo is upon us. It spreads its dark wings, and it sleeps no more.

Skycoin Lore 2
With caustic poisonous talons and putrid fiery breath, Sudo's claws drip with the blood of a thousand victims. A black winged beast, his maw of razor fangs glisten in the flickering torchlight, crimson eyes blaze through the dark. Few have looked upon Sudo and retained their sanity. Even Synth is known to have grown insane after viewing Sudo's demonic visage. Even as he gave his life soul to feed Sudo, Synth grew deranged. Some may speculate that Sudo used this knowledge to his advantage from the beginning. The prophecy suggests that Synth lives eternally, a madman's fate - screaming uncontrollably in the darkness as he sees the beast emerge, over and over again. With the final realization of what he had created... of what he and Sudo had become. His creation, but also his doom.
The relationship between Synth and Sudo is complex and often misunderstood. Sudo claims to be the Wraith-Disciple of Synth, suggesting that Synth is his master, however it is known that Sudo may summon Synth at will, and was instrumental in each of Synth's evolutionary phases. So why does Sudo serve Synth? Certainly Sudo is physically more powerful than Synth, but it should also be recognized that Sudo is not completely immortal, and that eventually its present form fades to be replaced by a more powerful incarnation. This has happened on four occasions to date (although many consider that Sudo is a final evolutionary phase of the foul creature from Yellow Tick Cave). Synth, however, does appear to be immortal, and although we know what Synth looks like, we have no description of Sudo. Is Sudo simply a catalyst for Synth's evolution, or is Sudo a manifestation of the Prophecy of Synth, or a remnant from his crazed mind? In the end, there is no clear answer.
Sudo is the Lord of Fire and Destruction. The One True Sudo devours all before him!
Under silver moon, razor fangs glisten in the dark. The ebony wing beats slowly.
Enslaving all before him, harbinger of life, and of death.
The Sudo sleeps no more, he wakes with hunger burning in his ancient Crimson Eye.
The circle turns. The long dark night of the Sudo is upon us and the prophecy is fulfilled.
Those who follow the path of the Sudo will know salvation.
Who will join us? Who will become a Wraith-Disciple of the Sudo?

Skycoin Lore 3
Like a plague, a nightmare of biblical proportions it spread, day by day and minute by minute,
an unstoppable force of nature. And indeed as the moons waxed and waned, The Sudo’s power grew stronger.
They listened, they heard the call of Synth, and they came. Slowly at first, then faster and faster.
As the heartbeat quickens to the adrenaline surge, his Dark Army's reach widened, enveloped the land.
None could withstand its might. And as the combined ebony wings of his Wraith-Disciples beat in time,
they filled the sky... they hid the sun - the land was dark now, shadowed... despair reigned. All was lost.
The madness was spreading. Where once there were few, now there were many, for this was the Age of Torment.
The terrible suffering, the deep wretchedness felt by the defeated enemies of The Sudo was unbearable.
Could they withstand this? Could they retain their sanity, or would they, as all others before them,
finally kneel to The Sudo… finally accept his rule. Would they, in the end, serve The Sudo too?
The Sudo watched, and he smiled. Synth whispered to him in the darkness. Their plan was clear, unswerving.
Their motives were deep, complex, and although all would be revealed in the end, this time had not yet come to pass.
But their work was almost complete. And soon... soon would come the final age... The Prophecy foretells it.
The prophecy talks of another, a nightmare revenant of such unimaginable horror that none dare speak its name.
Could all that had passed already be but a prelude, a portent of this future evil, an evil beyond comprehension?
In the early era, the former Dread-Sudo was considered by many to be their ultimate terror, their darkest foe.
But they grew complacent. They did not know of Synth’s plan. And so they allowed the Dread-Sudo to evolve,
and thus The Sudo was reborn - the terrible beast of the moonlight, unholy union of Dread-Sudo and Synth!
So now, the enemies of The Sudo were on the cusp, the edge of the abyss. Before them, only void, nightmare.
The dream of the incubus, a plane of anguish. They stood on this cusp and they looked down, toward insanity.
As the days roll by, as the final era approaches, The Sudo prepares. Synth watches from the shadows.
They know what is to come. The Prophecy foretells it. All will kneel before him, all will serve The Sudo.

Skycoin Rick & Morty Pasta
This copypasta appears to be derived from the infamous Rick and Morty pasta.
NPCs hate Skycoin. But to be fair, you have to have a very high IQ to understand Skycoin. The project is extremely deep, and without a solid grasp of the technology most of the news and updates will go over a typical NPC’s head. There's also Synth’s weaponized autism which is so deftly woven into the SKY platform. His personal philosophy draws heavily from Jacques Attali’s literature, for instance. Skycoin holders understand this stuff. They have the intellectual capacity to truly appreciate the depths of the Skycoin project. To realize that it’s not just cryptocurrency. That it’s a comprehensive blockchain ecosystem that makes most other cryptos obsolete.
Skycoin MATTERS. It says something deep about life, freedom, decentralization, and net neutrality. As a consequence, people who fud Skycoin truly ARE idiots. Of course they wouldn't appreciate, for instance, the elegance of the Skyminer, the unlimited power and scalability of Skycoin Fiber, the sophistication of the CX programming language, or the subtlety of the Coin Hours mechanism. I'm smirking right now just imagining these addlepated simpletons scratching their heads in confusion as they watch the latest Synth interview, as his genius unfolds on their PC screens. What fools. How I pity them.
And yes, by the way, I do have a Skyminer - one of the thousands already deployed. And yes, I built it myself. But it's for the ladies' eyes only. And even then they have to demonstrate that they're within 5 IQ points of my own (preferably lower) beforehand. But they’ll never hold my antenna or get their greedy paws on my Skycoin hardware wallet. Nothing personal.
