Being an avid gamer I've been looking in to Enjin and so joined their Telegram. Then I noticed GoNetwork too. Looking at both whitepapers they were very similar. So I went on Enjin telegram and asked their CEO Maxim what he thinks are the main differences between GoNetwork and Enjin. He instantly deleted my messages and banned me. Try it if you don't believe me, ask him the question, you'll be on here confirming that you're banned from the telegram group.

What's more worrying is that GoNetwork's whitepaper really seems to address how they'll bring Ethereum to mobiles. Enjin's does not. I'm wondering now if the price dump is because those more tech savvy than me are aware that Enjin doesn't have the know-how to bring this tech to mobile?

What do you guys think has Maxim got something to hide?

Wtf I just asked the same question and got banned straight away  >:(

maybe for now thats only a sign,
or maybe the CEO has another reason for banning you out from telegram group.

If you get banned for asking simple questions > gtfo. They aren't worth your time or money.

Come to think of it, when I was on the chat they'd just posted their whitepaper on the chat and I know GoNetwork just updated their's earlier today. May be they've updated their whitepaper by copying GoNetwork's whitepaper update and thought no-one would notice. Hence why they reposted it on telegram. And when I pointed out both whitepapers were similar he banned me before word got out.

Someone on their Telegram, scroll up and see if they're saying they've updated their whitepaper today. If they have it looks like they've robbed GoNetwork's update.

yep, I read some where here person leave a bad review about ENjin.
And as your said it isn't worth to put money in.
But scam or bad project always come with good marketing and promotion.
Let's see hexacoin  or Rec they have nothing than HYIP but price is so crazy

scam?
Enjin Coin is listed in some major markets such as HitBTC, Cryptopia and Livecoin.
I think it is very unlikely EnjinCoin  is a scam.

Tengek are you part of the Telegram group? If so check if they're saying they've updated their whitepaper today.

Someone try asking the question I dare you lol

The thing people don't realize about ENJIN coin is that it is solely dependent on publishers allowing it in their games. Many big house publishers won't allow it and will just go on using their own in game currencies for virtual purchasing. If you want a gaming coin/ICO that may actually stand a chance check out Gameflip.com as they actually came from the big house publishers and have a lot of contacts in that space. They've also already got a place in the market, you're not just buying an idea like a lot of these other ICO's. Their ICO starts Nov. 28th. I don't think ENJIN thought far enough ahead with their project. All of these gaming coins seem pretty convoluted to me, I won't touch them. But that's just me.

It does seem they may not have thought things through, especially if they have had to copy another company's whitepaper to answer technical scaling questions (if that's the case).

I don't think it's a scam but I have noticed a lot of the telegram's are really strict on mentioning/advertising other projects in their channels which makes sense.  Sometimes they go overboard in moderation of it so maybe that's just the case in this situation but dunno

It's a scam. Most people that want their coin to grow have a bunch of people putting in ideas on how to improve the coin. You might lose your money.

If this info is correct, you are helping some people not to invest there,
 and often done by any party when asking in the telegram forum .. when they cornered by our question, immediately they remove our writing without giving a logical reason.
And a great idea to include links, so much that helps to clarify their projects are really scams or not

Low budget scam projects are relatively easy to spot but big projects like Enjin, very hard to tell if there are bad intentions because everything looks professional etc - not saying Enjin is a scam, but say if there were more sophisticated scams out there, they could have the resources to look like a fully legit team, then it's kind of only up to your own knowledge and gut feel to make the decision whether a team is truly legit or not.

This makes the investing process very difficult. Would be great if there was some sort of whitelisting/auditing service for ICOs to provide a bit more confidence - onus should be on projects to whitelist as well as the individual trying to sort through and blacklist bad ICOs.

enjin provides space community for games, it seems enjin will a big scourge. whether scam or not , takes time and program responsibilities. if enjin troubled with player game and user cryptocurrency, the team can feel hard blow from publisher and devlopher game, because enjin have games community program .

doesn't much sound like a scam, if it highly possibly that they offer an inferior product and are trying to keep the public unaware. Doesn't mean that enjin is non-functional.

Yeah, insta banning anyone who asks about the project or how they're better than their competitors seems perfectly fine. Doesn't sound like scam at all.

/sarcasmoff Thanks for posting this, wasn't gonna invest in this because I don't see the purpose of it, but it's good to know.

I dont think they scam, they just bad support. I think dont waste time with them.

I don't think that Enjin is a scam. But I agree, for me the usefulness of the Enjin group in Telegram is very low... To much pupils, spammers and flamers... There is no important information or discussions in these groups

Banning people for asking questions about competitors is stupid in case if it's a non-scam project. People (especially investors) have a right to express their opinion or suggestions about the project. Otherwise, it's scam.

Wow, another one I've been looking into  ??? Regulations, where are you when I need you?

There was a "formal" scam accusation here at Bitcointalk against Enjin in August. The arguments the "claimant" brought up were also partly based on a very strict moderation of critical comments, but also on supposed "fake team members".

But the Enjin people have resolved it, the team members were legit - at least the "claimant" has definitely retired the scam accusation.

So it's "almost" impossible it's a scam, but their strict moderation policies on different channels may be a problem and should be revised by the Enjin team. (Unfortunately, in marketing these policies are quite "normal", even if social network marketing handbooks mostly advise not to censor critical voices.)

For the technical question, unfortunately I lack the knowledge.

Yes, the their strict policies really drove others to think that its a red flag and accused them of a possible scam. Its heavily moderated thread but I think they do it because there's a lot of trolls saying a lot of negative things about this project (which is expected btw, this is how our community has become). However, I don't think their purpose is to scam people, maybe they just want to avoid such criticism specially coming from trolls spreading rumors.

yeah I also got banned on Telegram...seems like a scam to me if they can't answer simple queries.

Yes it is, that's why I was confused regarding if it is real or not, because I can never seen problems in enjin coin. Definitely it is one of the trusted coin in crypto currency industry, maybe we were convinced if you have an evidence of regarding scammed made by the enjin coin. Prove to us that your accusations is definitely truth and not only from news.

As others have pointed out it look suspicious because they have been heavily moderating threads and Telegram. They have reasons but the community cannot understand it because you are just asking some queries. Its like you can't question their authority which I find it amusing. I didn't invest on this coin, although the project looks spectacular in the beginning, but with their attitude, one can question if they are scammy or not.

Threw 1 ETH into this during the ICO. What a mistake that was.

We will know it after some time... I think you can earn on your investments...

Yes but I could have just bought 1 eth worth on the exchange after the ico finished and had 3x as many coins as i do now.

Even if they are not scam. It's not good for the project to ban people from telegram for asking normal question.

It is normal for ICOs now)))

The price of enjin coin is below their ICO price now.

If this is a good project with great community, the price will rise upon entering in the market.

What happen is, The price of enjin coin goes lower upon first trade in the market and its still going down.

Theres no pump, only dump happened. too bad.

Price seems to be slowly tanking, I'll give it another few weeks before I jump on board!

Whitepaper was really good but their behaviour seems really odd. Higher risk but potentially higher reward.

Add me to the list of people that got banned.  Sign-in and say hi and you will be fine.  But if you ask a question beware.  I was thinking about investing but this action will allow me to focus my attention in another direction.

Enjin is a massive project, or at least seems to be one. It wouldn't be the first time a project is ripping another projects whitepaper or ideas.It does not necessarily make them a scam, but I wouldn't rule that out either. This is a very tough one to call.

I hang out in the Telegram of Enjin Coin, if you're going to talk about an unknown coin and waste the CEOs time, you're going to get banned.

Every other week there's a new ICO in gaming and they schill in the Enjin channel, don't be surprised if they ban you.

If you're going to say Enjin copied them, you better provide proof, stop wasting people's time, i've read GoNetworks whitepaper, there's nothing there.

If you think Enjin isn't touching mobile, it's because you're not paying attention.

Even I got banned because I asked them the same question

This is Maxim, CEO of Enjin & Enjin Coin. Let me just state the following:

What a pathetic attempt at advertising gonetwork. I will always ban people like you who enter our channel and advertise a dubious upcoming ICO. You should be ashamed of yourself to stoop this low. Stay away from gonetwork guys. They are most likely a scam if they are this desperate for attention.

This right here is how they operate to raise awareness of their upcoming ICO, by trying to combine a successful brand 'Enjin' with the an unknown entity such as gonetwork. A sad attempt to generate drama and advertising.

I welcome non-shills to join our telegram: https://t.me/enjin_coin we have 4248 real users! You can find our official website here: https://enjincoin.io/
and if you wish to trade Enjin, I recommend Binance: https://support.binance.com/hc/en-us/articles/115002560032

Chilly, pass this message to your CEO, If you continue this pathetic attempt at advertising gonetwork by using our brand (just like your failed attempts in our telegram channel), I'll make sure that it will backfire.

Oh and also, the obvious fake likes / fake retweets / fake users on gonetwork social channels, is not a good look and rather obvious.

I highly doubt it. They are a real company with a massive gaming network to leverage. cryptodevil accused them of being evasive about their company and network's statistics a few months back. In response, they provided the financials of Enjin Pte Ltd, which apparently all appeared in order, and contracts confirming the identities of contracted employees (who are associated with the ICO). He closed/archived the thread and dropped the accusations.

They have put considerable resources into the project too. I've looked into the project, and their vision/goals are definitely attainable. I'm not sure it's worth investing in (at ICO price or even considerably lower), but that's another matter. They did pay out a high-paying signature campaign and ran prominent ads on Coinmarketcap, among other advertising efforts. And their identities are generally public. If it's a scam, it's an elaborate one.

Yep, you're right. Oh well, glad it wasn't more but still not a nice feeling losing out. Don't think i'll ever invest in an ICO again.

I've always invested a little at the stage of pre-ico and ICO, which I can afford to lose completely. But I can follow the project and be aware of possible loss... and on the exchange you can always buy more

Dont think it is a "scam" but you should check out my video reviewing it https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZNRo0jmH14c&t=0s

Yeah the idea looked promising at the start but the way they have executed from then on has been a total disappointment. I am very glad that I didn't buy into it.

Sounds like a scam or a quasi-scam. Legit project would never ban or prohibit questions in social media channels. They have something to hide, huge red flag.

Game currency crypto drama, gonetwork you going to sit down and take that? lol *Grabs some popcorn

Look forward in couple of months , you will realize how silly you missed this opportunity to buy enjin at lower price.

I haven't been updated for so long time about enjin, but as I have reviewed it with the ongoing campaigns of the projects they it went well and everything is going into success specially the better campaign results they had. However with their social media questions being prohibited I don't think there's a problem with that and I don't speculate any hidden agendas from them. All am looking for is they must have a concrete reason why they decided that no social media channels for Enjin.

Glad to see someone from Enjin show up and set things straight. ENJ is not a scam, all ICOs lately have been sold heavily as soon as they can and the price falls. Looking forward to future of Enjin as they follow their roadmap.

Enjin isn't a scam. These guys are about 10 years on the game market. They never hide their faces or linkedin profiles.
If their advertising and social media campaign rules are strict it doesn't mean this is scam

This is also what I am thinking. So far, Enjin appears legit to me. Until I have come across this post from someone who really took time and effort to read, analyze, and compare Enjin's whitepaper with that of another. I still cannot conclude but it adds a little doubt to Enjin as a project to me. Any legit project should be prepared to answer legitimate and professional queries. Otherwise, it will look really dubious.

Edit: The CEO of Enjin has responded. And he has made valid points.   ;)

Enjin has great future. It is just that it is tackling on a specific market and that may not be appealing to the public. And enjin already have working products and has been a successful company for years already. Losing money in investment does not mean it is a scam.

Well, the price of enj now makes me very sad. Their cable discussion group was not very friendly, and I was banned. But I'm involved in the ico, and I don't want to sell enj at the moment because it's going to cost me a lot of money. Well, I'm sorry. I hope the enj development team can do something.

Thank you for an answer about their ban. But do you think their whitepaper is similar to yours? I haven't read yet, so I do not know if their claims are true.

i don't think that is a scam. they run a serious business for many years.

Look at the price again, what do you see? My answer now is the time to buy)))

What makes you think ENJ is scam because I find this project great and has been listed on major exchanges. I think in the future ENJ will be a great altcoin to invest because I am sure in 2018 the ENJ price will probably rise very high

Hmmm very shady to just ban anyone who asks about a 'competitor'. Personally I have no time for anyone or any project that has those business ethics! Scam or not, either way i'd stay well clear

Enjin is definitely not a scam, it's the exact opposite of the scam. The project is really well thought out and they have a very bright future in the gaming industry. The projects they are collaborating with are exceptional and they are going to be huge in the short and long term. The team is cool as well, I've talked with them on Telegram and they didn't seem to have something to hide as you've mentioned. They are one of the few with a valid business plan and a working platform where you can already create your own gaming website.

For the telegram, they have one of the nicest community manager out there. The community also feel so lovely and heart warming to new comers. They even have created sticker pack for the telegram community.

The two whitepapers are not similar in any regard. Go take a look, people. Shameful thread to start!

Also, go take a look at Enjin's code updates on GutHub if you think it's a scam. - https://github.com/enjin/Enjin-Coin-Java-SDK

Their team is incredibly responsive and transparent, including their desire to see the channel stay focused on Enjin rather than other projects.

man, I invested a decent amount of ETH in Enjin coins, about $4500, I recommend the team a couple advice, not crazy or negative one, not related to Gonetwork one, but constructive for the sake of the investors, but they ban me twice from 2 accounts because I want to rejoin the chat and see the updated news and what is going on. They never give me a warning even though I never felt my comment is negative or directly criticize the company and team, I felt very angry and frustrated to the 2 bans, I don't felt like I did something wrong. Or they could give me a warning first, but it never happens. I searched online for the same info, I think there are people got banned directly too. I am a kind of guy leave 2-3 comments a year online, even I don't like something, I don't just leave negative comments to hurt people reputation. but this time, I really felt pissed of and worry my investment of the coins, so I decided to write here.

I join about 50 telegram groups to read about what is going on in the crypto space, but most of the time just watch and read, don't usually leave comments, even I occasionally leave the comment on a possible scam project, they might just give me a warning first time.

I am planning to sell the coins at the later time, the company and products are fine, but I don't like the team and their attitude of treating people, not polite and professional.  :-[ :-[ :-\ :-\
 

A few days ago Enjin announced a partnership with Unity.
Yesterday I read this in Cointelegraph's news: ''Kik App To Partner With Unity Technologies To Spread Token To Mainstream Gaming''.

I really wanted some questions answered so I went to the Enjin telegram and asked what was going on... Instabann (a good way to treat investors).
I got quite frustrated not to get any answers so I went to look for an official announcement from Unity about their partnership with Enjin but could not find any.
Not even on Unity partnership page.

So I posted in Unity forums a question on Enjin/Unity partnership and my post got removed because they do not accept speculations in their forums...



Be very cautious guys.





  

Was very interested about this coin during ico , but had no money to spend on it reading all this acusations felling like i dodged a bullet here :)
Time will tell found myself greater place to invest my money in.

EnjinCoin is used as gaming currency for buying things in online games and also listed on good exchanges, I dont think that they are scammers, but their behavior seems fishy.

banned from where?

Banned from Enjin telegram channel.
