Title: [WARNING] SATO DEFI - Plagiarized WhitePaper
Post by: qwertyup23 on August 25, 2020, 08:13:48 AM
What happened: PLAGIARIZED WHITEPAPER

Profile Link: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=1194662

Below are parts of WhitePaper of SATO DEFI which has been copied from different sources. Unfortunately, the WhitePaper is saved as a single image so you cannot copy/paste the text from the Whitepaper (manually typed it).

*Even if the WP has a reference list on where you got the source, directly copy-pasting the said material, representing the contents to be your WP and not paraphrasing any of the sentences is considered plagiarism.

Even though they include a reference link at the bottom of the Whitepaper if all the sentences are copied they still keep plagiarism completely so I don't think they have any idea to make their project defi goal so choose to run this copy action.

Good catch and now a lot of DeFi projects keep coming up with the inclusion of Uniswap also I think they continue to do scam projects if they do plagiarism whitepaper.

Unfortunately, the WhitePaper is saved as a single image so you cannot copy/paste the text from the Whitepaper (manually typed it).
In that case, here is a decent Telegram bot that can help you with that. It is called PhotosetterBot. Just search for @PhotosetterBot on Telegram and you will find it.

You send it an image and it extracts the text from your image and sends it back to you via PM. I used it a long time ago and I remember that it makes mistakes, but it can still come in handy for such purposes. ;)

This is very VERY useful! I will actually try this one as there are several whitepapers in the forum that upload or screenshot the entire document in order to prevent the texts from being copied. I really appreciate the help, thank you very much!

That is true. There is plagiarism once you represent an idea or a work to be yours and if you copy-pasted the entire thing despite citing the reference/source. I find it funny that people try to circumvent plagiarism by just posting the reference links but the entire content unaltered from the original source!

Google lens (Android App) also can help in this case. All the text from any photo can be copied by this app.

There is a trend recently about defi in the crypto market and all the scammers started to scam by using name of DeFi.
Nice catch Op. Keep it up. And next time take care of the thread design so that people can easily understand and thread looks good. For example take all the screenshots in same size. Or change the photo size in the post. And arrange them side by side. Thank You.
