Title: ALPHACOIN Plagiarized Whitepaper
Post by: qwertyup23 on April 15, 2019, 03:08:45 PM
THIS IS NOT A SCAM ACCUSATION!

Upon checking Alphacoin's whitepaper, I observed that they plagiarized the RISKS part with another whitepaper namely WIZBL. They also did a poor paraphrasing in one of their paragraphs.

1. Alphacoin poorly paraphrased no.2 paragraph with this website: https://www.xcelpay.io/disclaimer:

2. Alphacoin plagiarized the taxation risk with WIZBL whitepaper:

Good find OP and very impressive start. Keep up your great work, because now fraudsters are very actively using plagiarism to deceive investors. Good job!

Thank you for the archive! I really appreciate it!

Good find OP and very impressive start. Keep up your great work, because now fraudsters are very actively using plagiarism to deceive investors. Good job!

Thank you very much for the heads-up! I will try my best to my ability to spot all of these fraudsters in-order to keep this forum clean. Unfortunately, there are lots of people who plagiarize and poorly paraphrase their whitepapers in order to deceive investors.
Once again, thank you!

Hello
It's not Plagiarized Whitepaper , we read this risks and we like it , It does not affect the project, our project is a real project and we are under implementation
It's information for all currencies for exemple : Risk of Loss of private key
If you feel stolen, we can change it
Thakns

With a great appreciation and respect

@AlphaCoin mining. It is not professional or acceptable to read something, copy it word for word, and then incorporate it into your whitepaper without citing your sources. Either remove the copied content, cite the sources, or come up with the proper definitions in your own words.(Don't paraphrase either. Let your potential investors be certain that you know your stuff, and come up with your own words.) You should probably cite references, anyway. Satoshi did in his whitepaper, and he didn't copy/paste or paraphrase anything.

I am more than willing to remove my negative trust UNTIL you change your whitepaper or cite your sources. No matter what reasoning you provide (or if it is for general knowledge), it is wrong for you to plagiarize content without citing or giving credit to the original owner. Like what @bones said, that shows unprofessionalism on your part and that deeply reflects on what kind of business model you have. First thing that you have to garner is TRUST and HONESTY.

Although the new WhitePaper looks very rushed, as long as you do not plagiarized the contents, I will be deleting the negative trust as promised and discussed.

Why are you spamming the ANN board with lots of your threads. Why not have only one ANN thread?

This is very unprofessional!!

Wondering why they transferred 63.83% of the tokens to the person that created their contract. We asked on their ANN, but no answer yet.
