I revealed a SCAM of altcoin before the sale phase, saving some bucks of potential investors. You can see the thread below. Thank you.

Read requirements before posting!

Awesome, that's great! Thank you very much for giving me my first ever merit!

Thanks for your review request. Unfortunately I don't speak Korean. Do you have any other English posts for review?


Actually these two posts are coming pretty close to what I'm looking for (finally!). Sent you 2 + 1 merit.

I'm not sure if this would be the exact type of post you are looking for but I thought i'd pitch in and give my 2 cents (or should i say 2 satohsis).

Hey there, flora_digitalis

I came across your post just now, and gave a good thought about your initial post and the other replies you gave to the other supposed "contributors". I'm mostly active within the Korean subforum, and I have translated several ICO announcements before due to the allure of "rewards". But as I get to translate these announcements, I must read through, digest and translate every sentence I read -- and as I digested these business propositions and proposed business models for how they'll reward the investors, I came to the realization (via first-hand) that these are blatantly scam/fraud.

So, I did this: I went back to each of my announcements (or at least most) and wrote a warning post advising all potential ICO investors to beware scam ICOs, along with major red flags to look out for (some patterns I've picked up).

Let me point out some that I gathered (I gather you can auto-translate my Korean text, but I'll also summarize):

* Anti-shilling my own translated post - I wrote that there are suspicious information that needs to be vetted, like publicized team/location info, as well as their marketing content (looks fabricated).

* Anti-shilling my own translated post - I also wrote that there has been no updates whatsoever on their webpage, and there seems to be no developer team.
https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.34270832

* Within my translated announcements, I explained why one needs to be extra careful with these supposed ICOs and that people need to look for these red flags, such as:
- Sudden extensions of token sale dates because of unfavorable market conditions or low investment revenue
- Amateur-ish / seemingly non-existent core team members
- Whitepapers that contain minimal/non-existent details regarding technology, use of funds, etc. or non-professionalism overall

* Warning against investing DRG token sale (on my own post) due to lack of any developer or seemingly impactful core team members, as well as lack of any publicized progress despite their promises

I think that's it for now.

Either way, please let me know if you have any suggestions for other future content I can share. It also doesn't help that our only Korean subforum moderator has been inactive for many many months.

Thanks for reading!

Edit: PS: I really like your intent. Months ago, I took upon this task of translating this Russian whitepaper for some 'healthcare' related blockchain startup (EHFirst), but as I dove deep down into the details, there were so many red flags, so I spent over an hour on their Telegram channel just blasting away at the community managers and detailing all the wrong things about their whitepaper/business plan. It's safe to say that they won't be succeeding. I uploaded a few screenshots I took for you to see (for enjoyment- I took them to share with a friend on how stupid some ICOs are):

That was actually right and I am always promoting ICO's and been/being part of bounty campaigns. Maybe this giveaway is not meant for me but I just want to tell you that Envion was sick, and they suck   

Sorry, but that's not what I had in mind. You're in fact very pro altcoin and actively advertising ICO's.

The title really suits this thread created by me. I am aware that most of my posts are for bounty but this makes me know how those projects just trolling and scamming the bounty hunters that is also part of their community. Please take a look

I meant no hate for Envion but for what they have got because of the bounty hunters ( $100M ) it's not that bad to keep up their words. For other proofs/infos you want, just let me know.

Sorry, but too generic and insufficient quality.

Unfortunately both posts not relevant according to the conditions of this giveaway.



I don't think it's too much to ask to expect applicants to read the conditions of the giveaway.

Just FYI, the only part of the thread title these applicants are going to read is 'merit giveaway' and without reading anything else they assume it's like all the others.  Suggest you modify the title somewhat. 

It is unfortunate that one cannot use simple pictures in thread titles, but we're headed in that direction.

Hi flora_digitalis, I'm really against to those bunch of scammers. I also don't want their intentions of scamming people (actually, everyone does).
I don't know if this one is eligible for your Giveaway but I'll give it a try, please have some time to review my thread
https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.30448929

And please, kindly reply your thoughts if you have something in your mind about the topic. 
Thank you

Completely unrelated. Can't you read?

It's not directly what I had in mind and it's basically a translation of a spanish post. But I still see some effort. +1 Merit.
