Interesting, just simple questions... how can the websites is created (in WHOIS) on 2020-04-22T02:21:39Z if they're created on 2017?

Domain dropped and registered again or reclaimed.
Usually, whois services show this but there are bugs when recording it, especially if the domain was claimed in the period right before the expiration date when it is still locked.

Hosting History   4 changes on 3 unique name servers over 2 years

This is the old whois:

Besides, you can check in the old topic, there is a quote of the announcement, not modified from 2017.
So yeah, their domain is indeed that old, their website...I don't have a clue.

Whenever i see such projects that are so lazy to brand themselves even with just a mere name such as EthereumGO, Ethereum Dark, Stellar Pay, Bitcoin White It's the number one red flag for me. It is usually the tip of the iceberg.

I expect nothing much from folks who can't even get an original name for their project or coin  Grin

Good question indeed, and something only EthereumGo Op can answer. Another question for him would be why he made another ANN since he already had that old one from 2017, that looks almost the same.


Interesting copy pasting activities from both side. One stolen contents from another and continiously going on like a chain. Huh... After seeing this its pretty much clear that none of them have the quality to write their own whitepaper. Both of them blindly copied most of their contents from ETH to build their own project. Shame on these guys.
Yep, that sums it up, both are lazy and shitty projects, made just for quick cash grab, nothing else. Not that we haven't seen bunch of those in the last few years..

Hm, in EthereumGo ANN it has been mentioned that they have older ANN, from 2017, while StellarPay is from 2019. So maybe StellarPay is the one who plagiarized.

Nice investigation "OP" and i hope your hardwork will be able to keep newbies far from this project . Flag supported and user profile tagged from my end.

ABSTRACT
If Bitcoin is the Internet of Money (a decentralized trustless network designed to bring financial independence to people worldwide without money having to go through any centralized control) and Ethereum is the Internet of Software (a platform for executing code and creating decentralized applications) , Stellar is an open-source, decentralized payment protocol that allows for fast, cross-border transactions between any pair of currencies.

What is StellarPay?
StellarPay is a digital token native to the Stellar Blockchain.This means you have complete control over your coins can send, receive, store, and trade SteallarPay. StellarPay is a platform that connects banks, payments systems, and people. Integrate to move money quickly, reliably, and at almost no cost.

How does Stellar’s blockchain work?
Transactions that take place on the Stellar network are added to a shared, distributed, public ledger, a database accessible by anyone worldwide. In order to reach consensus on transactions so quickly and accurately, Stellar uses its own unique consensus method.



How does Stellar’s consensus method work?
Stellar’s consensus method allows for fast and cheap transactions, with everyone on the network reaching agreement about transaction validity within a few seconds. Every participant (called a node) who helps add Stellar transactions to the global ledger chooses its own mini-network of other trusted participants that it agrees with. As long as these mini-networks (called quorum slices) overlap, the overall Stellar network can reach agreement about which transactions are valid and can be added to the ledger very quickly. You can read about how Stellar’s consensus mechanism works in greater detail in this article.



Where is the value of Stellar derived from?
Stellar is useful and valuable because it is a global exchange network, capable of hosting thousands of exchanges between currencies and tokens per second. Exchanging between cryptocurrencies and/or fiat currencies can be a lengthy and expensive process; Stellar makes exchanging swift and cheap. XLM, the asset that will be supported within the Blockchain Wallet, is used to pay transaction fees and maintain accounts on the Stellar network.



You can look how the distribution is make confused. The 1% distribution of token sale is like 10% portion of the circle. And how about the another 29% tokens?  Huh
