It is a blatant copy pasting of everything. Looks like a clone with a different name.
Katerium is a dead coin though - https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5246125.0 thread dead for several months now and Coingecko reports it dead since no activity for last 2 months on exchanges. Seems like scammers like to use these less known or dead projects to create their own scams. Either way everybody who doubts this site to be a scam should visit both sites and see for themselves how much they cloned a previous project which only points to a scam.

Scammers mean taking advantage of the opportunity for dead coins to be cloned and re-promoted on this forum in a modest manner I think this is a stupid act because it has been repeated and of course in this forum those who come will be checked by the plagiarism seeker and all will surely be found the actual data.Katerium is a dead coin though - https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5246125.0 thread dead for several months now and Coingecko reports it dead since no activity for last 2 months on exchanges.

Good thing this was caught quicker by the OP so I think others will know that what the scamers brought on this forum turned out to be a scam, and not only this there are many sites that are cloned and caught too.

I haven't visited the ANN section in a long time, so I have no idea at what rate these new projects are coming out, but I seriously wonder how many of them haven't plagiarized at least part of their whitepapers. Based on how often threads like this one get created, my guess is that happens more often than not. Sad.
Quote We are thrilled to offer the world a new way to communicate, pay and receive payments in private, without leaving any traces! And Make Simple Smart Contracts by a few clicks, it's so simple that even you grandma will understand! The above is a quote from the opening statement in the Ella Fund ANN thread (I have the section blocked and thus can't quote it directly), which I find to be idiotic. All of those things they mention are already available, including the comprehension of grandmothers--assuming said grandmas aren't locked up in COVID-infected nursing homes suffering from Alzheimer's. Anyone who knows anything about crypto wouldn't even read past that first sentence, much less read their whitepaper.Anyway, even without the plagiarism this project sounds like crap at best and a scam at the very worst--and my guess is that it's probably the latter.

It is a blatant copy pasting of everything. Looks like a clone with a different name. They don't seem to care that people are going to be able to notice that it's just a copy of another project and I think that they are successful doing this because it seems that they still do it even though a lot of the scambusters catch these fakes and replicate websites.Either way everybody who doubts this site to be a scam should visit both sites and see for themselves how much they cloned a previous project which only points to a scam. And if they doubt it again and still invest and when their money gets lost then they deserve to get scammed to be honest.Title: Re: Ella Fund - plagiarism whitepaper Post by: CryptoYar on July 15, 2021, 06:15:06 AM Either way everybody who doubts this site to be a scam should visit both sites and see for themselves how much they cloned a previous project which only points to a scam. I also visited their telegram group and saw that they ( ella fund team) adding thousands of tg users to their group Just to pretend that their project is legit.https://t.me/ellaFund Anyway, even without the plagiarism this project sounds like crap at best and a scam at the very worst--and my guess is that it's probably the latter. yes, they want to make some money by simple copy-paste. but thank god we have trust system to protect newbies from scammers.Thanks to everyone who tagged and supported the flag |
