Topic: how do you identify a transparent project team? (Read 1163 times)

Housinet? Hmm, sounds familiar, might have heard of it somewhere, but cannot remember for sure. What exactly is solution staying for?

Not many. I follow only 2 or 3 platforms and the most attractive one for me these days is Housinet. Solution is pretty promising and in demand these days, having rather high and objective ratings.

Evening mate. For sure such approach makes sense. However you know, I also pay attention to innovations and modern approach. And from my point of view, there are not so many platforms that are in the same time innovative, valuable and transparent. Are there many from the ones you follow?

From my point of view, there are several criteria that help to identify advanced and attractive solution. All starts with the idea, but from my point of view, it is also very important to have a look at the roadmap, the team, the plans for the future and, of course, evaluate practical value users can get

I think to see authenticity on the part of the team is to see videos, photos, and original form when there are project events. for example they do promotions in a country, as much as possible you can see them there. but this is still basic and to do more research you need to find out the background of the team

Scammers will do anything to scam people, as if to be a legit team with has a promising project, but they plagiarize the project with a little changes of it. It's hard to identify a transparent project team and am not good with it even they are showing their faces, it's hard to tell if they are real. Scammers really want to make money easily.

Finding transparent ico is difficult now, because as you said it uses a different identity and what's worse is that they hire homeless people to be their front and captor all the blame of the member of scam campaign.
So investing today in an ICO is like a gamble that sometimes you win and lose.

I believe that there are several ways to verify the legitimacy of a project team and some are listed below:

1. Try to convince the team to conduct an AMA via online video conference and ask questions including technical ones that
    are relevant to the project (If the team don't know what they are talking about especially with development aspects, then
    we could consider it as a red flag)

2. Research and verify their social media profiles especially on Linkedin and Github profiles - (for core developers) and assess
    if they are really who they say they are and try to see their previous activity on projects they have worked on.

3. Observe if they have good community management and if they are regularly interacting with the community via social media
    channels and see if they are always ready to assist on any concerns  of the community. (most legit projects often responds
    to the community's queries mostly in a daily basis and if you didn't get any response to one of your queries, then beware of
    this project).

4. Observe if they are posting any documentation or pictures of team activities (e.g. attending a crypto conference, symposiums)
    If none of these has been published, chances are the project is a scam.

5. Additionally, you could check these threads that might be useful regarding your concern.

Last three points are the actual play mark. There should not be anything shady or fishy about the project if it is real.  All the addresses and contacts must be valid ones. Though faking oneself is no more a hard task, still the project should be clean from such doubts. Faking IDs etc is easy for social engineers. Every project shows as if the investor holds importance equal to god. Obviously, customers are the key to success.
