Hello Leo! You can still win.
I would say that time will only tell that they were a fraud company....

It didn't take long and the result is out. It seems that the time wanted to be fast, just in few months these happened.


I remember when this thread was newly made by Fat, I gave them a benefit of doubt. I wanted to be neutral and hear from the project owners. But I got fade up when one of the team members didn't see anything wrong in plagiarising whitepaper.
This topic was even bumbed  by one of them claiming the project is successful and even 5 more of them.

Reading all the response of Jawadu, I was surprised he does not understand the implication of plagiarism or what it really means. Any software that states a writeup has been plagiarized means the word wasn't said for the first time and was sourced elsewhere. We might not have access to the word right away, but the internet had a backup of it. My sadness stems from how badly the negative trust has been painted, as well as the difficulty in supporting Jawadu's actions.

Qi has launched 5 successful projects.  And the talk of the town!  Making this thread completely FUD and rubbish!

You are welcome to dispute any argument I have made in this thread. And since you seem so eager, how about you start by explaining why the coin of such a "successful project" lost almost 90% of its value within just one month?

Feel sorry for this guy trolling accounts and looking foolish calling every project a scam.

Speaking of looking foolish, if I'm not mistaken the listing price for their 30M pre-mined shitcoins on the XT exchange was 0.75 USD! It would be better to feel sorry for those poor souls who invested early despite all the warning signs, as it's pretty clear that they were duped. This is a good lesson on why it's important to do your due diligence and research before investing in any coin, especially ones that have shady start like this one has. Wink

I will only say time will show. Maybe they dont want to show their code yet who knows I will patiently wait and mine meanwhile Cheesy

They had a Plagiarized whitepaper and a copied code, and you still believe that they will come up with something good. Oh common. These are the early signs of scams and if you want to ignore them, you will regret it later.

I will not agree as I browse code and it uses besu hyperledger node to run qi-blockchain also it uses eth core codebase and are on sha256 algo that they use opensource code do not mean it is a scam project. maybe a mess everywhere but in basics it looks like own blockchain with some ethereum core and besu node usage. They use own rules in mining I was trying to run genesis.json on geth it can run but mining do not work so they have own algorythm/mining rules. "They had a Plagiarized whitepaper and a copied code"- whitepaper is corrected and each fork use a copied code Smiley

Even their previous whitepaper was in line with their vision.  

If their vision was to steal from other people's work, then I agree. Their original whitepaper definitely reflects that.

Their actions clearly speak louder than words.  What are you trying to achieve? They are not trying to take investor money clearly.  They offering the general public an opportunity in advance technology with lower transaction fees.

What actions? What advance technologies?
What exactly have they developed so far? Is there even one line of code written by their developers? Please show.

Noticed you also asked about how to mine the coin?!  

You are wrong. I never asked that.

That furthermore emphasis my point as it is publically available on their site - run the genesis file with their command lines api in a linux terminal.  Just as transparent as their code on github.  If they don`t list on exchanges in September then I will swallow my words otherwise I think you should...    

You're wrong again. That's not their code on GitHub.

The so-called QI-Explorer is copy-pasted from: https://github.com/ConsenSys/quorum-explorer
The so-called QI-Blockchain is copy-pasted from: https://github.com/hyperledger/besu

No code forks, no commits, not even proper attribution to the original repositories. Just plain copy-paste. So, you can swallow all you want for all I care, but that won't make this fake project credible.

So it took them several days to create a whitepaper on their own, then why would they hire someone to create plagiarized whitepaper on first place, if they could have done it by themselves? I wont believe that the team was "super busy" and delegated the detailed description of their own project, ideas, plans to someone else. That does not make any sense.
They probably hired someone else to rewrite whitepaper for them. Or who knows, maybe the same people that wrote the first version wrote the 2nd one as well.

I'm not sure that the main problem is that they use plagiarized whitepapers, it is more of a problem that they decided on such a way of doing business. Writing a new WP will not change their understanding of running a business.
 
Your tone sets the ridiculousness of this post.

Kindly note that they have a live blockchain with a NFT marketplace already live and have done no ICO.  Even their previous whitepaper was in line with their vision.  Their actions clearly speak louder than words.  What are you trying to achieve? They are not trying to take investor money clearly.  They offering the general public an opportunity in advance technology with lower transaction fees.  Noticed you also asked about how to mine the coin?!  That furthermore emphasis my point as it is publically available on their site - run the genesis file with their command lines api in a linux terminal.  Just as transparent as their code on github.  If they don`t list on exchanges in September then I will swallow my words otherwise I think you should...   

it seems that you too could be negatively tagged as a shill account for the QI Blockchain scam.

You don't have to be surprised at my stance on this unless you don't get me right.

You're right. I have no frickin' idea what you're trying to argue here.

An obvious plagiarism is not "tangible" enough for you? Beside, what do you think will happen with a project where team is not capable of writing their own whitepaper and instead they have to copy/paste from someone else's?
An obvious plagiarism of whitepaper is surely a red flag. A scam project is always hasty to get their project running and hence uses any available tools to set up their platform as fast as possible.

So what's your point exactly? You find nothing "tangible" in the OP that this is obvious plagiarism? Or do you mean that even though the project is clearly plagiarized, it can still be "genuine" and honest?



Hi, just talked with the dev and team. They are sorry for this mistake because they paid third party team to prepare the whitepaper but they did not knew this thing become so messy . They are preparing the new whitepaper and I will update it as soon as possible .

Thank you everyone.

Who the hell are you? (with a sarcastic tone)

Exactly, haha. Easy solution, nothing to do argue with this anymore, Hope the creator will understand this and remove this scam tag.
That's not exactly how things work around here and it will take much more than just correcting whitepaper to get thoise tag removed.

I don't think the flag will be removed so easily here. This issue is not as simple as you are trying to portray it. The only way to get this tag remove is when your project really becomes a trusted project and this is not gonna happen overnight.

If QI delegate such delicate task to third party, then other roadmap stages (btw where is it) are probably going to be made by third party also. Or they will always have issues or excuses like "it was due to someone else". 

That's the problem that it is now hard to trust them. There is no way to know if they are speaking the truth and they were so innocent that they didn't bother to check the whitepaper produced by the 3rd party.

Guys, new whitepaper ready with plagiarism solution . Stay tune, we will publish it soon.

So publishing the new whitepaper which is plagiarism free will solve all the issues and allegations raised on this project?

You were exposed to using a copied whitepaper and now you will replace it with a new one, will have no change in the perception of people on the project and it will remain a risk to invest in this project.

Team apologies to give the deal to third party. Have a  look on new whitepaper here:

What a mess in here  Grin I have no idea what to think but one is sure I checked the creator of project he is seems to be a real person with linkedin using phone number related to his location so like for me seems legit I saw many projects where 3rd party prepare many things and they make a shit content. Things like that happen life is life. I know few projects already that promotion and content prepared by 3rd party was a shit but when it comes to play they grows big. Personally I don't mind  website look. Most important is a tech. In times like now ppl want to see all beautiful nice website great looking wallets and to be hones more projects that looks GREAT with great content end like scam instead of those projects with poor content. Just have look on LUNA nice concept looking good all awesome and now tell me that it was not a SCAM. Peoples forget we are here at first place for Tech not design. Cheers
