It was the Bitcointalk forum that inspired us to create Bitcointalksearch.org - Bitcointalk is an excellent site that should be the default page for anybody dealing in cryptocurrency, since it is a virtual gold-mine of data. However, our experience and user feedback led us create our site; Bitcointalk's search is slow, and difficult to get the results you need, because you need to log in first to find anything useful - furthermore, there are rate limiters for their search functionality.
The aim of our project is to create a faster website that yields more results and faster without having to create an account and eliminate the need to log in - your personal data, therefore, will never be in jeopardy since we are not asking for any of your data and you don't need to provide them to use our site with all of its capabilities.
We created this website with the sole purpose of users being able to search quickly and efficiently in the field of cryptocurrency so they will have access to the latest and most accurate information and thereby assisting the crypto-community at large.
Signature Code is updated, any suggestions are still accepted ... You did a very nice job with these signatures and the logo as well. We appreciate your work very much! I think there is some problem with the Sr. Member signature once I use it (not sure if it is me) This is how the Sr. Member signature is showing up: and "Browse Ico Scams List" you can keep the link to the website, but we created a list on the forum as well in case you want to replace the link. https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/icoethics-scam-list-2018-2019-5110020
I've seen lately a lot of bounty managers with red trust. Bounty managers should work with scammer catchers in the future, or at least learn a lot from them. I don't understand why ignoring that is important for keeep their reputation
If there is something that needs to be changed, tell me please.. Yeah, cool signatures .. but unfortnately the Full rank doesnt support "font size". you missed this point from roslinpl's lessons thread.please fix it,
@ICOethics, well, if you really don't mind, I might use these sigs after my campaign whatever may fit in during that time. Anyways have a good catch again in these following days, I just hope there wouldn't be anymore scam projects for it can surely affect on Bitcoins / Crypto's image.

This is how messed up the ICO so people scam ICO are caught and monitored but with this site it will lessened scam ICO because they will have second thought creating one because they will be caught and get listed here, great works for the developer of this site, it's quite time-consuming.

Thanks mate @ICOEthics for your great work for the forum. Its true that when you do good work you will get love,respect,honour from others. Its just not only for forum matters. This rules applies everywhere.
I beleive we will see more quality works from you in the future.
To ICOEthics, coolcryptovator and anyone else that expose scams, would you mind investigating on INGOT COIN? it seems to be dead by now their TG Group isn't running anymore and the admin are nowhere to be found. Partcipants of the ICO is hoping for a return of their money but not even KHAWANKY replies on their request.
This project has been already fascilitated by 2 Teams, the first one has Issues as well based on what I've from Telegram. And now the second team is also might be doing the same thing. The Last Update and Message from Khawanky was on January 9, after that there were no more messages from him, but as Iooked into his profile he was recently online by February 4.

And especially to TheNewAnon135246 we appreciate your time for creating this thread.
I just want to +1 this thread -- supreme research and dedication to the art of ICO busting.
I notice that every time I open the Announcement section for Altcoins, I can usually find 2 scams on the first page, right off the bat. But taking the time to actually write up your findings in a logical manner that more or less makes proof out of evidence is another step I usually don't take. There's definitely a need for such activity as, even though markets were bearing during all of 2018, ICO scams have been on the rise. https://cointelegraph.com/news/from-ponzi-schemes-to-ico-exits-ethereums-blockchain-has-been-the-platform-of-choice-for-scammers Kudos to them for a job done well.
I agree that ICOEthics is a huge asset to this forum. Just the sheer number of reliable scam identifications and relentless tagging without getting into forum politics is the type of values needed on DT1.
The tools listed on the website for investigating scams are also very useful. legendary

So, to make this a short story, this is our concern about asking for donations, and we welcome the community's input: A scammer can make a deposit to our donation address and accuse us that this was a bribe/extortion money, and to avoid all that hassle we have stopped asking for donations on our website. Very true, that's a valid concern although you guys have created a very strong reputation for your team that anyone from forum will believe such an accusations but inexperienced guests of forum could. When a fund is sent to a donation address it's considered as a donation irrespective of what the motives behind the transaction was. So again, scammers who'll try to take advantage of the donation address for wrong accusations will just be wasting their time and it'll earn them more RED TAGS. Thanks for your reply. I'll add your donation address to the OP. Do you happen to have a BTC address for donations as well? Regarding the signature, I suggest to remove the donations from them. Any scammer (very ironically) could start wearing that signature and add his own addresses there. Removed! - No, we dont have a BTC address yet, but we will provide one soon.

Hello everyone,
Sorry for the long reply, but we hope this post will explain our views regarding donations. ICOEthics has been a member of this forum since June of 2018, and we have never asked for donations on this forum! What we do, we do for the community. But donations are welcome, as we do have expenses. The donation address is the one provided to Coolcryptovator (0x53B9dAEd9FD4B169A2eA5113aa603b3c613d93dB) We always did FREE work and we will continue to do FREE work for the community. We have detected around 300 scams and never asked for anything. We are not in this for money or merits (we are sure people in this forum will agree), but here to help identify possible scams. Many of them are completely disrespectful and soulless ( for example; https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/cryptocredit-foundation-scam-fake-team-all-are-deceased-persons-5099131 ) We don’t promote anything about ICOEthics website. We use it mainly to store files that we use on our posts/threads on this forum. We don’t have much time to keep it up or develop since we have our regular jobs as well. We try to update the site once a week or two, or more. Our main focus is to find what is fake, which leads to a possible scam and expose them (fake team, plagiarized whitepaper, etc). One of the best sources to expose them is Bitcointalk, of course, and Twitter. As many of you already know we have been called many bad names, accused of extortion, racism, discrimination, etc. We have also received proposals for bribes, which we always post them on the forum, so we all can laugh together - death threats, virus sent to our email (caught), etc. So, to make this a short story, this is our concern about asking for donations, and we welcome the community's input: A scammer can make a deposit to our donation address and accuse us that this was a bribe/extortion money, and to avoid all that hassle we have stopped asking for donations on our website. Finally, many thanks to you, rhomelmabini, for the signature that you created for us!
Curious what is the password on the tools on ICOEthics website. I want to know more how they deal to expose those filthy bastard's that suck people's money by running fraudulent projects. Awareness should always be at hand.
I will try to make a signature somehow if I can manage, I am trying to learn this skill. Will update this reply when finished. Edit: Signature added Code: [center][table] Here is the address of ICOEthics, Here is the ETH address: 0x53B9dAEd9FD4B169A2eA5113aa603b3c613d93dB @OP can you please update on the main thread with this address ? So if someone want to donate they can. I think we can encourage his team for more active by donate few ETH. Please don't take it negative, he didn't ask for fee or any kind of donation. Since OP made thread that's why I asked him to provide address. But he deserve something from us. Hope someone will help them. SFR10 offline few days, someone else can create a signature for ICOEthics? With donation address and with his website? Can you ask them to post it here or PM me? It's not that I don't trust you but I prefer to hear the address directly from them .
Here is the address of ICOEthics,
Can you ask them to post it here or PM me? It's not that I don't trust you but I prefer to hear the address directly from them . Yea, I had asked also. Perhaps he will reply once he have free time.
Very true. They're doing a great job.
At first, I thought they must have an agenda or something but no they're clearly doing this just for the good of the community. Plus they've inspired others to do the same. Good for them ! I've created this thread to show appreciation to ICOEthics. They have been doing an amazing job tracking down scam ICOs and warning the community of their fraudulent behaviour. Their reports are well substantiated and they seem to be putting a lot of time and efforts into their research. Everything is documented on their website, www.icoethics.com. I suggest that they add a donation address because they definitely deserve a few tips. Thanks for the work you do! yes, @ICOEthics is awesome member, searching SCAM projects and Fake team, in ICO projects, and give US allert about it. + check whitepeper and find plagiarisms on whitepeper and website. -snip- I loved the way people like coinlocket$, you, ICOEthics, Veleor, xtraelv and others are putting your efforts and time into investigation. But I don't think you or any investigators who are truly dedicated should be asking for a fee for investigation unless your investigation requires you to go through some services for which you have paid. However donations is fine. I would set an example to prove my point: Suppose a thief snatches purse from a lady and you are just close to the incident. Instead of running after him would you ask the lady for a fee before trying to catch the thief? Sounds immoral right. And that's the stuff that a so called-protector in gambling section (game-protect) have been doing. You and game-protect would have no difference except for trolling and the trust ratings(if you start taking fee). Just wanted my feeling to be placed out and I still respect the way you been helping the community. Pretty much agree IMO seeking and exhibiting scams should remain an essentially voluntary and community activity. A way to thank the forum and its members This is the beginning of a dangerous path: and why not offer a "Premium+" paid service (some ICOs already offer this type of service in fact, and ask to be paid) ? What happen in case of exit scam? (it's undetectable, teams can be real, white papers original and projects strong ...) By remaining volunteer and disinterested members who do scam-hunting only take the risk of being insulted or threatened But at least there will be no suspicion of conflicts of interest To be perfectly honest, I even think it's uncomfortable to do scam-hunting on a regular basis with an ICO signature... Some new members could assume that the project is somehow "validated" by members of the forum who are supposed to be more effective....which is not necessarily the case! but it's my personal perception, not a criticism I loved the way people like coinlocket$, you, ICOEthics, Veleor, xtraelv and others are putting your efforts and time into investigation. But I don't think you or any investigators who are truly dedicated should be asking for a fee for investigation unless your investigation requires you to go through some services for which you have paid. However donations is fine. Ty for nice words, however donations? I got only insults and death threat for now . Anyway, keep going ICOEthics, you are making this forum a better place. Insults and death threats will keep on coming. Treat them as confirmation of blow to their greedy intentions. Let them frustrate as much as they want. I myself had received insults while going after everaja/FriendlyChemist investigation. It only encouraged me way back then . I loved the way people like coinlocket$, you, ICOEthics, Veleor, xtraelv and others are putting your efforts and time into investigation. But I don't think you or any investigators who are truly dedicated should be asking for a fee for investigation unless your investigation requires you to go through some services for which you have paid. However donations is fine. Ty for nice words, however donations? I got only insults and death threat for now . Anyway, keep going ICOEthics, you are making this forum a better place. You and game-protect would have no difference except for trolling and the trust ratings(if you start taking fee). Agree with you, that's why I avoid this kind of suggestions. I just spend free time to expose scammers. I have a job and I am stay in abroad so I can't sit on PC much time. That's why I can't take it professionally. On the other hand I never want to raise questions like bribe etc. So it's better for me just spend my free time expose scammers. However OP mentioned donation and I am agree with him, ICOEthics team deserve it. Hope he will continue his work to keep clean this forum.
The lack of fees are exactly why I suggested donations. Fees would technically mean that ICOs could bribe them to write bad reports on rivals. Their work so far has been selfless and deserves a reward imo.

Yea exactly, his team working hard to expose scams. I believe he have saved lots of people's from scammers. He deserve donations. I am wondering to ask SFR10 to create a signature for ICOEthics since he had not joined any paid signature campaign. So people's will find scam ICO's and his address as well. If someone want to donate they can.
To be honest, multiple managers and DT1 also suggest me to open service with a team who are exposing scam ICO actively. Manager will ask for verify like team, whitpaper and others content before they start any project. Ofcourse they should pay small fee for that. I have also discussed with ICOEthics about it and he is agree for that. But I am not much encourage now due to exit scam. Even team and whitepaper etc is real, who will responsible for exit scam? Eventually people's will blame us, how we are investigate ICO. However it would be better if send some donations to ICOEthics and his team will more encourage to work. As far as I know he have team with four member to investigate ICO's. We need this kind of member to save people's. Edit; I can't find donation address on website. I have asked him to provide.
