Bitcoin Forum

ScamICO.org designed to help you to avoid investing into scam ICOs. On the Forum you can discuss or be more informed about scam ICOs mechanisms. You may ask community to help you to identify scam ICO.

Link: https://scamico.org/

How do you dictate whether an ICO is a scam or not? Do you provide market depth research or information, or is this purely based on feedback left by others? What actions or features do you have in place to help eliminate spam attacks by fudders who create bot accounts on your site? While this is a great idea, in theory, you have to be cautious about offering any form of "financial advice", especially when dictating what you believe to be a scam coin or not.

Additionally, this post belongs in Service Announcements, not in Project Development.

Good luck

interesting idea, i might join to support your forum as i dont like this bitcoin fixed forum, they are all crying around now with bitcoin dying and losing influence over the market.

the main bitcoin part of the forum is now discussing same stuff that has been discussed 100 times before and are constantly speculating, you are doing a progressive step and i support you

but i think just founding something isnt enough, better would be unite existing interest groups and communities and support them with the forum you want to create

No,it`s not a great idea,because everybody can create a Facebook group or a Reddit subreddit for free around that niche.Having a forum requires paying for hosting and advertising.Identifying ICO scams can help a lot,but we have to make the difference between real ICO exit scams and failed ICOs that didn`t manage to complete their project due to lack of funds or other issues.
Good luck with the idea,OP.

A new forum from scratch and with blank user database requires a lot of enthusiasm. But how to know is it this forum just another scam where we can find fake accusation?

I support any idea of fraud preventing. The new forum is not the right way. We can dedicate one thread here.

Looks Good. Nice template.

Add some board for Phishing scams. Now there are a lot of tokens on waves platform that asks for the seed.

tokens that ask for seed? what i saw on waves plattform was a phishing scam, where thy privately approached me told me that i have won in a random user airdrop.

these people are scamming users. with direct approaches and social engineering

i will support this consumer protection forum, through listening it on my website
https://www.cryptoproductivity.com/community

i subscribed in your forum,

two issues i realised.

1. i cant upload an avatar

2. i cant start topics

you should fix that, or simply use a an established and popular forum template like smf.

May be that can help: https://scamico.org/showthread.php?tid=20

Interesting! good project.. there are so many scams going on,,

How do you differentiate a good ICO from a bad one ? Don't tell me it depends on the one that pays you some tokens.

So this is not the first time bitcoin has died ? It has been dying since 2008 and still alive and kicking asses.

Sure.If you don't like the forum, why don't you just go away ? I mean how hard it is to NOT post here anymore ?

Good-Luck with that  8)

Awesome! i usually go to ICOIndex to see the latest and greatest scams too.

there is a status between leaver, and still user, which is user, considering and looking for replacement.

in that stautus i am, but i have not found a good forum community replacement yet,

this scamico communisty seems to me like a one way channel like those countless propagandistic websites. you cant post topics there and you cant reply.

so the website appears currently strange to me although i am supporting new forum projects

To upload avatar go to menu where says welcome (username) there you can your profile.

To start topics you need activate account via email.

Activation link should be in your email address that was indicated during registration.

Hello, what do you think about masternodes ? Is this new trend in scamming or real profit?

can you give me a list of some scam icos and your website analysis on those projects?

Hi, be honest I don't like masternode and miningn too. But if the coin like Dash then the masternode definitely not scam and should be profit but if other coin scam and masternode of this coin scam.

Masternode and mining are managble by money. If you have lot of money you can influence to that coin. By creating more masternodes or buying mining equipment.

This is fondement problem of all crypto. Decentralization.
I think e.g. masternode should have kind of personal identification using biometric or biomarkers. Only one masternode per person or one mining farm for one humen passport. That would be more democratic way.

ScamICO.org does not do any independent ICO analises. At list for now. We consentrated on Scam Alert. Scam ICO website something like here: https://scamico.org/forumdisplay.php?fid=10

I like this idea I honestly believe the market is heavily in need of a solution to get a better understanding of legit or fake ICO's.
Is your project comparable to Stop the fakes?

ScamICO.org has some insider info. Soon will mark two popular coins as scam. Give us 3-4 days. Insider information won't be announced. Coins will be indicated on website in Scam Alert category. Later that would be cleared.

you should be careful who you mark as scam if you abuse social capital you will be opposed and lose it again.

you have to distinguish between fail and scam icos.

but btw.

you want to list a good scam ico then list this amsterdamcoin

i discovered a coinminer virus on their website.

https://www.cryptoproductivity.com/single-post/2018/06/02/Coinmarketcap-lists-cryptocurrency-which-website-spreads-coinminervirus

if thats not scam....what else is?

and coinmarketcap listed that one.

Project Development is not for ICOs.  Please move to service announcements (control at lower left)

It's very interesting opinion. Thanks a lot for answer ;)

And that really helps newbie.
Because most people don't know how to judge the quality of ICO projects, they only analyze them through the websites that are evaluated by ICO. However, most of the time, this is not reliable.

Dear all,

Follow ScamICO.org on Twitter: https://twitter.com/ScamICO_org

Maybe some of those people who experienced already about scam or already a victim of scams, cannot detect easily that it is a scam project or business that used cryptocurrency business in order to attract more people to joins their business, and mostly we can noticed that it is a scam when the people who handle the projects or business transactions are disappear without prior notice.

Dear All,

We would like to here your opinion about this thread: https://scamico.org/showthread.php?tid=42

Its both topical and necessary. We all need to discuss our doubts, or get feedback on icos that we are unsure of, and what better guide than experience, and what better place than a forum holding up the wall of shame for easy viewing!

This is quite an interesting site, but unfortunately you just point out that some ICO is a fraud, but it does not justify, and it should be done!

Actually, I'm also curious about how to define an ICO as a fraud.
Even if an ICO project team commits fraud, the ICO project may still be an excellent project, but it only exaggerates the promotion.

i think the idea is quite good. the main thing is that people quickly and reliably report scams there.

i will try to support the forum.

wow that's neat. Hope users can get to know this info in the web. A lot of ICO are just really trying to get away with people's money

It seems not easy to find project scams but this idea deserves an appreciation, Given there are some projects that are not clear and really make bad crypto image.

To be sincere, most people that get scammed on this forum investing into an ICO is because of greed, there are some project that mere looking at the way is structured one would know it is a scam/Ponzi scheme in making but because of the riches that has been promised the will gamble on those projects. I am not talking about being hacked which is a different scenario

we can know which project scam and which project will be success, this is very good, and we can also report the scam project later

Very interesting and useful forum. You can add Crestonium to the list of scam ICO's. After they have finished the token sale, they have closed their website and deleted all their social media accounts.

True, it is hard to say if ICO is a scam or not. And what does scam in this world mean? We need regulations to reduce number of fake and scam ICOs.

There is no doubt that this is a good innovation. The site looks to be inspired by this forum and uses various section to discuss about ICO's, it looks like this site is particularly made to aware people of ongoing ICO's. Today we come up with so many bounties on daily or weekly basis that it is almost impossible to identify each of them as scam and real, also you never know which ICO may work or not but this site can give us clue regarding the working of the team and so on. This is a new kind of forum which is much needed at the moment.           

Interesting thread about KNOW YOUR TEAM (KYT) like KYC (Know Your Customer).
