Topic: Open discussion about trustworthy ico/crowdfunding efforts? (Read 637 times)

It is just one that I have seen that seems to know what it's doing. If anyone can also suggest a legitimate project, then this is where you make your voice heard and discuss its merits

In regards to ethereum....I really don't know about trusting in a project that wrote on fine print about 'this project may or may not happen, but feel free to give us funding eitherway'.

If you know differently, let us discuss the matter here.


Anyone know other projects? Please feel free to discuss

Honeypot, will you be mentioning NOXT/noble coin/James Curvy in every post you make in this thread? Looks like thread is just to plug this guy/group.

Transparency does help to instill trustworthiness. Ethereum had a very successful coin(ether) sale. Very transparent bunch they are --doubt they would allow anyone on their team who won't use their real identity.

I think open identity is only part of it. A good step, but obviously it does not preclude a con that is completely convinced of itself to the degree that Iconic Expert is. It is obviously difficult to quash a con that conned itself first.


I say so simply due to all the past history where that con essentially convinced himself and others how he is 'right' in downright stealing money while breaking promises and lying again and again.


I would respectfully disagree with your suggestion - IE is just another good example of a con that is simply convinced of itself. IE's 'record' speaks for itself - he is a self-deluded con that is in a worse place then most anonymous scammers because he is actually convinced he is justified in stealing people's money with half-baked excuses.

However, you bring up a point about the dangers of open public identity being not the end all be all of a developer's worth. In that case, past records is certainly another way to consider if an individual is a real deal.


That is just another reason for me to consider NOXT and Noblecoin leader Jason L. Curby in higher regard. He did register officially as business and just recently released official business summary and government documentation of his business plans - and I have been following his work since last january.

Obviously people here are gonna hate, but everyone knows who Iconic Expert is and he is openly developing Bytecent.

Anyone know one that actually has a public, clear and transparent devs and their crowdfunded projects?

In the midst of all these scandals and scams, can anyone suggest a good, honest, and open project where the people involved aren't afraid to show themselves publicly as a professional would?


I do like NobleNXT (NOXT) and Noblecoin here:

Noblecoin ANN: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.9814393



The dev's twitter and public profile - Jason L. Curby from Australia:

@Noblecoin

You can also find his linkedin via google.


So far many of the scams I have seen were those who worked anonymously and only later came out (at best) or just stayed hidden all along - not sure why anyone would trust such people with thousands of their BTC.

In contrast, Jason Curby has been public since January 2014....big difference in my book.

In my humble opinion, you can't trust anyone who isn't willing to stand out professionally and actually treat crypto projects as they would treat a public start up company. As in, not hiding behind anonymity for one thing.

Let's discuss.
