I notice that the Dash white paper is the most highly copied out of all of them. That's probably because of the whole masternodes thing. Just another copy and paste project...

Scammers always try to find different way to reach on their goal and dash masternodes ideas opened a new door for them. Thats the reason why most of the fake ICO projects copied from dash whitepaper. They can get investors attention to raise money through selling masternodes with appealing return offers.

Sorry for the copycat. Qwartz is technically similar to DASH, I will rewrite that with my own words. My apologies about that issue.

Awww...he actually apologized. Dude must have learnt his lesson...though the hard way. Can we try give him another opportunity to prove himself and his intentions for the project? We all deserve second chances 🙏

Blatant Plagiarism - just replaced the name Dash for Qwartz - This project does NOT deserve a second chance, and they already said that this is a copycat project. The intentions are clear to me, copycats usually just want to take the money and run.
