Title: Minter - just a normal Shitcoin or a Scamcoin?
Post by: 1miau on September 01, 2019, 03:50:55 PM
Today, I came over some translation spam in our local board: http://archive.fo/iAHJX

The funny thing: his translation is so bad and says: "...Das heißt Dies ist nicht nur ein weiterer Betrug, sondern ein Projekt mit einer vorgefertigten Infrastruktur und Community...."
Means in English: "...This [project] is not only one more scam, it's also a project with a prefabricated infrastructure and community..."  :D

So I checked if it's indeed a scam like he's "claiming" (most likely unintentionally due to the bad translation) and when I visited their website it seems quite clear:

https://i.imgur.com/7NAP86D.jpg

Yeah, trustworthy guys.  ::) ::)

Website: https://www.minter.network/
Archive: http://archive.fo/QB95l
(was also archived 10 Months ago: http://archive.fo/rwqsh)

But when I was digging deeper, I found some real people behind it on ICO-Holder (https://icoholder.com/en/minter-26241) and their LinkedIn profiles seems to be real. I'm giving them the benefit of doubt for now but what's your opinion? Is it just another shitcoin or is it outright scam?

I have participated in the Minter airdrop campaign at the very beginning of their startup. Approximately a year ago. That time they have been giving 1100 BIP for registration and KYC. I got it in my wallet. Now it equals for around 120$. So, looks like normal guys, don't them? BIP is already at the exchange platform: https://bip.dev/

Ok, did they launch it here on Bitcointalk or do they have an official profile here / Bitcointalk ANN? Looks like it's a legit project but I'm a bit confused why are they using cartoons on their website?  :D
On ICOBench (https://icobench.com/ico/minter) and ICOHolder (https://icoholder.com/en/minter-26241) they are using real pictures...

I am new on Bitcointalk, so can't know whether they launched here anything. But using drawings instead of photos became very popular - it's trend nowadays )

Ok  :)

Using images of drawings / cartoons sounds like an interesting marketing idea but mostly this strategy is used by scammers when they want to hide the real team. Here's a collection of some of them and I think the number of scams was / is quite high:
CARTOONS - Are you going to invest on these ICOs?  (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=4986549.0)

I won't invest a single Satoshi in such ICOs, only if they show the team via pictures / videos etc. or prove to be trustworthy otherwise.

This is the answer to the suspicion of ico scam, I get an explanation that Minter has a real team.
I was suspicious of their team too, thank you for the answer.

On September 2, Minter launched a 6-week signature campaign on bitcointalk: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5181035 More than 100 participants have already decided to join it. But I wouldn’t trust them, because they hide their identities on their website and Whitepaper.

Indeed it is fishy to think how come they can't even give their true faces when in fact they give their real names?

Not that it trends but I guess it's formal to have their true identities revealed instead of hiding in some hero costumes. Anyways, the translator should explain if that's really an error or not as well as the team if it's from them or not.

It seems to me that this is quite creative. We know a lot of scam projects representing real photos of their team. And what we had in the future?We got the team's escape   and  investor's deception.The  Minter team gives to us really lively and activity  project. Their token has a price, now you can buy BIP, sell, delegate and receive passive income from this.

Ok, so they are active on the forum and I've asked them for an official statement to avoid misunderstandings:

Hello!

I was surprised why you are using cartoons as profile pictures on your website and my first thought was your project could be scam. On ICOHolder and ICOBench you are using real pictures and also show your LinkedIn accounts.
So I'm wondering why it's different on your website? Can you please explain it here to avoid any misunderstanding: Minter - just a normal Shitcoin or a Scamcoin? (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5180753.0)
And please avoid automated translations in local boards, it's against the rules. If you need a quality translation, do a bounty or ask in Services (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=52.0) for real translations.

Up to my view, no matter they using cartoons, it is just visuals.

They are all real ppl, attend events, have office you can meet them face to face if you really wish :)

if these are the real people behind Minter, then why in the world they are using anime or cartoons people might think this is a big joke, if you are doing crowdfunding, then it's just proper that you show up your real face and their expertise, it will be ok if they are not asking for KYC or Crowdfunding, they can prefer to not show their face.

Well, their website is most likely the first place where potential investors are starting their research and I've no explanation why they don't use real pictures on that most important place especially because they are using real pictures on other sites.
I think you're right that it's not a scam, so to get back to the question "Just a normal Shitcoin or a Scamcoin?" I would say "Just a Shitcoin" for now.

if these are the real people behind Minter, then why in the world they are using anime or cartoons people might think this is a big joke, if you are doing crowdfunding, then it's just proper that you show up your real face and their expertise, it will be ok if they are not asking for KYC or Crowdfunding, they can prefer to not show their face.
Yes, exactly that. Everyone knows about the high number of scammers in ICO business. The first thing I would do as ICO company is bringing clarification about the team. When people see cartoons, they will considering it as shady immediately, stopping research and moving on.

I've also checked it and there's a proof that its real people working on the project, I'm surprised that there is a thread here in this section about Minter, I prefer to promote this project because I believe in what they are bringing to the table, I also been part of project that has an accusations on this section although plain accusations but they are doing good in their roadmap but not in the market.

One hundred percent of the next scam from Russia.
The creators of this project were already participants in the deception in the past and the year before last (DeCenter).

There is even an investigation on this subject, but unfortunately many of the forum participants are ready to sell their reputation for the money that scammers give them.

In Russian but great investigation https://medium.com/golden-borodutch/%D1%87%D0%B5%D1%81%D1%82%D0%BD%D1%8B%D0%B9-%D0%BE%D0%B1%D0%B7%D0%BE%D1%80-ico-minter-dd708bab5db6

Although written in Russia I've used Google translation to translate it and if this is the case somebody should open a scam accusation on this project or confirm that it has the potential to become a scam and also create a flag, so many people are now promoting this project, it could be to late.

Interesting article and although I haven't read it completely I would advise everyone to read that article who's interested to invest in Minter. If it's true that they had past projects and are moving on now to collect more money and do the same thing again that would be a strong scam indicator...

For everyone: I've translated the conclusion but for more details it's recommended to read the article completely:

Quote
Conclusion

The idea may seem very interesting, it would seem: here it is, a blockchain for housewives - but not everything is so smooth. The intermediary in the form of a BIP wallet will create difficulties in the form of additional actions for both customers and sellers who will have to advertise a BIP wallet, and in case of unforeseen problems, install and configure it for customers on the phone. And each time the seller will check with customers the availability of the wallet and the address for sending coins. It’s easier for people to use cashback cards.

In IT projects, there will not be such difficulties because of the automation of the process, but it is more profitable for founders to create non-convertible wrappers than to invest their money in BIP to create a coin whose price will depend on another token. There is no obvious demand for users, only the creation of a bicycle.

Investors have no guarantees that there is no backdoor in the BIP token smart contract. The team talks a lot about its transparency, but does not show the main thing - the smart contract code, which can be full of errors and backdoors, as is the case with the hacking of the Bancor exchange .

And finally, let's name the eleven red flags of the Minter project:

- The far-fetched nature of the problems solved by the product.
- Lack of UTP before direct competitors - ETH and EOS.
- Strong centralization of the platform and token sale.
- There are no smart contracts, they hope for a non-public product TON.
- Unprofessional behavior of the founder with investors.
- The founder, not fulfilling past promises, gives new ones.
- Too few programmers for a product of this size.
- Lack of team responsibility to investors.
- Lack of information on risks taken by investors.
- A few signs of securities are the “Utility” token.
- Investors are not investors, but buyers of a non-working product.

The fact a coin is traded somewhere doesn't prove if it's a legit coin. Bitconnect was also traded on many exchanges and was a scam coin. I don't compare Bitconnect with Minter but a coin listed on exchanges doesn't prove anything.
In addition, most PoS coins with high returns are often ending up as dumped shitcoins because all the stakers are trying to sell them but there are no buyers...

I agree with your remarks. But it is important how many real services will be launched on the platform. Services that can be used offline. In Minter already has the service allows to buy products without changing the BIP on Fiat currency. There is a service that allows you to buy food in McDonald's for BIP tokens (only in Russia yet). And a lot another services that help users like exchanges, telegram bots and so on.

That is true, I see most of the users prefer stake and sell and price eventually goes down. The dev team bets on projects, that are based on minter custom coins that will boost the economy. I saw a few games that use custom coins for internal bonus programs - great use case, I think! but adoption will not go fast. Also team is building an exchange where project owners may sell bip with priority. Doubt that this will work, but who knows, I really want to see this in action. The network still in it's early stages and all good new projects are very welcome by community. Also low prices is good for new projects that wants to enter, hope there will be more of them in the near future.

Sounds reasonable. I hope they won't let you down when their project will face difficulties (most projects will get them and then, an experienced and honest team is essential to make the right decisions). If their service can be used to buy food in McDonalds in Russia that's already a good achievement.

As I wrote earlier, the manager who leads this company cheats.

This is one and the same person.
This farm was previously seen in the wrapping and painted.
The registration goes one after another, and there was also a transfer of merites.
Now they clog the forum with meaningless messages.

Sounds reasonable. I hope they won't let you down when their project will face difficulties (most projects will get them and then, an experienced and honest team is essential to make the right decisions). If their service can be used to buy food in McDonalds in Russia that's already a good achievement.

As I wrote earlier, the manager who leads this company cheats.
Ok, maybe you can ask a professional scam detector to do an investigation. Unfortunately, ICO Ethics (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=2204241) doesn't seem to be active anymore but lovesmayfamilis (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=1982152) or witcher_sense (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=1433865) are also doing a great job and as far as I know both of them are speaking russian. Or you can open a new thread yourself and present the evidence easy to understand for non-russian speakers. But I think, since it's a russian project, most relevant sources are in russian and very lengthy to read and complicated to explain this looks like it's better to make a scam accusation in your russian local board. You have a few very good DT Members in your local board and if they can confirm your proof, they'll take action if needed.

The problem is that they don't have a real account. All ANNs / Bounty topics are posted by different accounts, I don't know which one is handled by them (or maybe all accounts  :D):

Minter's team shared plans for development in the United States. The most important things to know:

▪ Minter Development Foundation (hereinafter - MDF) will be responsible for the promotion of Minter-based projects in the USA
▪ The best projects will be offered agreements with MDF with the support of lawyers + marketing support for large amounts in US dollars
▪ Development and support of the blockchain core will be carried out by the American company Grom, headed by Daniil Lashin
▪ The team makes great efforts to comply with all SEC rules
▪ MDF is working to list BIPs on exchanges. There will be no manipulations with the course / trading volume from the team
▪ Evgeny Gordeev will continue his work on the concept of the Internet of money

Shitcoin or scam?
Change that title, it's so easy this days to defame coins and business using this scam report section.
I participated on their airdrop too and everything went allright.
Then a retard kid like you decide to defame all over the place because Dota2 is updating and he got some time to spend online.
How about you get a girl friend?

Shitcoin or scam?
Change that title, ....
Nope.
I don't see any reason to change the title. "Shitcoin or Scamcoin" fits perfectly because it's either one of both. If it's "Scamcoin" I'm sorry for the investors but that's up to everyone when someone is investing in risky projects to make big money and I hope the Scamcoin devs will get caught and a fair punishment. If it's "Shitcoin" => same applies like for "Scamcoin" but the devs have still some benefit of doubt. I understand that Shitcoin business isn't easy to manage and I'm open to call any "Scamcoins" only "Shitcoins" if there's a random reason that it might be not a Scam.

But almost 95% of all coins are Shitcoins and they will die somewhere in the future. That's why new content in "Scam Accusation" is posted very frequently.  ;)

And "Shitcoin" is not a defamation. It's an official term to describe a coin without (most of the) features a good cryptocurrency (like Bitcoin) is famous for. You should try to evaluate if a Coin is a Shitcoin or a Coin like - wait - a congressman (https://www.ccn.com/theres-bitcoin-and-then-theres-shitcoin-libra-us-congress-finally-gets-it/).

Meanwhile, I'm going for Bitcoin and let's see which coin will have made a better return in 2 / 3 / 4 years. I guess your Shitcoin will have almost no value by then anymore compared to Bitcoin.  ;)

I've seen many bounty hunters promoting this coin and I'm a member of their telegram channel as well, I don't see anything wrong changing the title, actually, this is a challenge for the team, because the majority of coins right now, new and old are tagged as shitcoins, it's a challenge for them to prove otherwise.

Shitcoin or scam?
Change that title
It is still a question so you don't have to worry about it but the riskiness and doubt is still in there within this project so better not change at all the title. Defending it because you've been part of their airdrop? Don't worry if they'll distribute it to participants it will be half on the expected value of the coin, that's I am guessing.

So what title fits perfectly on their project?

Stop threatening users with the signature of a project that is made like many pyramids from russia like a deeponion. The links are all correct and prove that this project was created by developers who were previously seen in the scam.
