I have participated in the Minter airdrop campaign at the very beginning of their startup. Approximately a year ago. That time they have been giving 1100 BIP for registration and KYC. I got it in my wallet. Now it equals for around 120$. So, looks like normal guys, don't them? BIP is already at the exchange platform: https://bip.dev/

Ok, did they launch it here on Bitcointalk or do they have an official profile here / Bitcointalk ANN? Looks like it's a legit project but I'm a bit confused why are they using cartoons on their website? Cheesy

On ICOBench and ICOHolder they are using real pictures...

Up to my view, no matter they using cartoons, it is just visuals.

They are all real ppl, attend events, have office you can meet them face to face if you really wish

Well, their website is most likely the first place where potential investors are starting their research and I've no explanation why they don't use real pictures on that most important place especially because they are using real pictures on other sites.
I think you're right that it's not a scam, so to get back to the question "Just a normal Shitcoin or a Scamcoin?" I would say "Just a Shitcoin" for now.

if these are the real people behind Minter, then why in the world they are using anime or cartoons people might think this is a big joke, if you are doing crowdfunding, then it's just proper that you show up your real face and their expertise, it will be ok if they are not asking for KYC or Crowdfunding, they can prefer to not show their face.

Yes, exactly that. Everyone knows about the high number of scammers in ICO business. The first thing I would do as ICO company is bringing clarification about the team. When people see cartoons, they will considering it as shady immediately, stopping research and moving on.

On September 2, Minter launched a 6-week signature campaign on bitcointalk: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/bounty-signature-minter-signature-campaign-50-000-worth-completed-5181035 More than 100 participants have already decided to join it. But I wouldn’t trust them, because they hide their identities on their website and Whitepaper.

Ok, so they are active on the forum and I've asked them for an official statement to avoid misunderstandings:

Hello!

I was surprised why you are using cartoons as profile pictures on your website and my first thought was your project could be scam. On ICOHolder and ICOBench you are using real pictures and also show your LinkedIn accounts.
So I'm wondering why it's different on your website? Can you please explain it here to avoid any misunderstanding: Minter - just a normal Shitcoin or a Scamcoin?
And please avoid automated translations in local boards, it's against the rules. If you need a quality translation, do a bounty or ask in Services for real translations.

Indeed it is fishy to think how come they can't even give their true faces when in fact they give their real names?

They seem to have a real team but not on their website, I don't know why. Cheesy

Here it's real:

Not that it trends but I guess it's formal to have their true identities revealed instead of hiding in some hero costumes. Anyways, the translator should explain if that's really an error or not as well as the team if it's from them or not.

It seems to me that this is quite creative. We know a lot of scam projects representing real photos of their team. And what we had in the future?We got the team's escape and investor's deception.The Minter team gives to us really lively and activity project. Their token has a price, now you can buy BIP, sell, delegate and receive passive income from this.

I am new on Bitcointalk, so can't know whether they launched here anything.

Ok

But using drawings instead of photos became very popular - it's trend nowadays )

Using images of drawings / cartoons sounds like an interesting marketing idea but mostly this strategy is used by scammers when they want to hide the real team. Here's a collection of some of them and I think the number of scams was / is quite high:
CARTOONS - Are you going to invest on these ICOs?

I won't invest a single Satoshi in such ICOs, only if they show the team via pictures / videos etc. or prove to be trustworthy otherwise.

Today, I came over some translation spam in our local board: http://archive.fo/iAHJX

The funny thing: his translation is so bad and says: "...Das heißt Dies ist nicht nur ein weiterer Betrug, sondern ein Projekt mit einer vorgefertigten Infrastruktur und Community...."
Means in English: "...This [project] is not only one more scam, it's also a project with a prefabricated infrastructure and community..." Cheesy

So I checked if it's indeed a scam like he's "claiming" (most likely unintentionally due to the bad translation) and when I visited their website it seems quite clear:

Yeah, trustworthy guys. Roll Eyes

Website: https://www.minter.network/
Archive: http://archive.fo/QB95l
(was also archived 10 Months ago: http://archive.fo/rwqsh)

But when I was digging deeper, I found some real people behind it on ICO-Holder and their LinkedIn profiles seems to be real. I'm giving them the benefit of doubt for now but what's your opinion? Is it just another shitcoin or is it outright scam?
