I'd like to know that in this situation for niceasicminer, what kind of info/intel do you think would be best in order to make an informed decision?
The first thing you would probably need to do is not accept new websites and new resellers that have been around for just a month unless it's a spin-off from some big company that already has some kind of large-scale business. The second and easiest way is a live video stream with the owner, if he wants that ba to be listed, he can spare 5 minutes with a call from their warehouse, and you can't really fake that.
Also, something like a third thing, do check the ones you have listed and add a few remarks for things that have changed between the time you added them and now, cause companies like ComputeNorth for example have filed for chapter 11 and already sold 2 datacenters as they owe half a billion, a tiny details some might be more interested in that anything else.
The same for Minerva, it missed completely
all deliveries to Stronghold and they are part in the lawsuit investors have filed against the company.
Wow, those are very insightful thank you!
1) Yes, just to explain a bit more of the current companies listed, since I've been selling miners and hosting miners since 2017 (I co-founded Cryptodrilling.com). The companies that I listed are kind of pre-vetted, meaning they do that business operations. But sooner or later those kind of companies will run out and I will definitely need to have a way to screen out scammy companies out of the potential listed companies.
2) Your point for live video stream is really good and I will definitely keep that in mind when we start to list companies that I haven't heard or worked with before.
3) Your point on recent updates like Compute North, MinerVa (and also Compass Mining) are legitimate and it's something that is on our radar as well. I still decided to list them because I think they still have operations and assets. But there has been some big changes like you mentioned. Currently I have a few potential solutions:
- Add news section => I either have to have someone manually pick out some news that is of importance as list it there and point it to the real article. At least visitors to my website can at least the latest movements of the companies they are doing research on. (The issue being not all companies will have this section, but having it for certain companies is good for research purposes)
- Add review section => Technically it can be done but my worry is that it can be abused and it will end up with a lot of fake reviews. So I'm still a bit hesitant, lol.
But thank you so much for your insights! We will definitely take these and discuss it with our team. Thanks!
