I completely agree with @lobat999. The three described projects are identity related solutions that are likely niche-based solutions currently, and do not have a practical real saying in overall picture of preventing people from being crypto-scammed. Even if those solutions turned out to be any good, their scope of real life current application is very limited, an thus really serve either as a get-to-know touchpoint of this sort of identity related solutions, or throw the common reader off tracks.

I understand the urge to warn people about scam in the cryptoworld, but they way you made the post could make people think that you were looking for hits on your website/blog.

You could share a little summary of what is in the article in the post to make it more interesting.
Otherwise, thanks for trying to warn the community

Actually the article describes three projects which are focused on identity management - more specifically to help users avoid identity theft but I don't think those projects will totally help people from being scammed since there are endless possibilities of tricks and strategies that scammers would employ just to get what they want!

Now I think the thread title is somewhat broad and should be more specific. Also, OP offers only some solutions particularly with combating identity theft but regardless of this, those projects mentioned could somehow help us from becoming a victim especially with Civic project which I'm a little bit familiar.

As a reminder, just like what I've stated before, its very important that we should not become complacent with regards to our existing digital security setup because I believe no one is safe in this digital world. Imho.

Low key advertising right there. Though I don't really mind it, opening links, reasing them, then going back to reply can be quite a hassle and a bother. Id agree with the first comment that at the very least, a summary please.

So i just opened it, way too long give me a summary indeed. Plus, the article could've at least given a bit of history regarding the projects like its past involvements.

The given programs and such were quite interesting though. A lot of potential but since its not yours I aint gonna comment any further.
