Title: NSCOIN - plagiarized whitepaper!
Post by: morvillz7z on May 02, 2020, 11:50:04 PM
What happened: NSCOIN have copy-pasted their whitepaper off ProjectCoin.

ANN: ANN NSCOIN-NSC POW/POS/TierMN (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5244446)

Flag 1: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=trust;flag=1775

  • NSCOIN's whitepaper is 100% ripped off ProjectCoin (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=4934523.0), substituting their names only.
  • I'm also confident that NSCOIN's GitHub account would lead to malware wallets, as their ann thread is almost identical to ProjectCoin.

What a lazy bunch of crooks, even copied the same formatting, just replaced a few images that were too obvious.

Tagged & supported flags. Almost word to word copy except project name. Totally fake project, steal idea and content from others means they have ZERO knowledge about it. Just they are trying to make fool. The most worst thing for a project is fake team and plagiarized whitepaper which is backbone for a project. There is no reason to trust on this project, stay away guys!

Anyway, good catch OP ! Keep it up.

I think they were too much aware about their project development cost and thats why they just changed the  coin logo only. :) Just a sign of complete stupidity. 

Flag supported and user profile tagged with red paint from my end. Hope others gonna do same to keep newbies far from this project.
