Title: How can we avoid scams in blockchain? Post by: Nitroas on November 11, 2021, 11:18:10 AM Hello everyone, I'm interested in the issue of checking projects and tokens.
There are many projects and each shows users big plans and ambitions. But as practice shows, not all projects keep their word and people often lose money by investing in the wrong project. Recently I came across a project that was created to solve this problem - CheckDot. They have a nice strategy for checking and verifying projects, which seems to be useful. What do you think about this problem and what solutions do you see? Title: Re: How can we avoid scams in blockchain? Post by: shinratensei_ on November 11, 2021, 12:28:33 PM Here's some tips to avoid the scam token in the blockchain
- You must always try to check the contract address - there are lots of scam tokens appeared used the same ticker with the real one and you must always make sure that you're trading token with the right contract address. - You must always try to track the development progress of project - this will be related to identify the fundamental of project. A project with good fundamental will not give you zero result for your investment - You must always try to make sure if the code already audited and oit's verified by the trusted parties. - there are so many scam tokens have been putting backdoor to did rugpull and run away with all of liquiidty in the pool. - The community should become an important thing to be considered as well. A good project will always have solid and big community behind it. As long as the developed or project wants to reveal their identity to the public and that will decrease the chance for such project to be a scam project. A trusted project will always have managed by trusted developers and they will always be transparent to the investors. It's different with scam project that will always refuse identity verification. Title: Re: How can we avoid scams in blockchain? Post by: so98nn on November 11, 2021, 12:47:06 PM So we have a crypto project that tests whether the other crypto projects are trusted or not?
Thats funny. How I am supposed to check if the CheckDot is trusted or not? Well I would just start studying the project, have some reviews from the hunters here, get involved with their social networks, most probably would be active in the Telegram and after that I may just get some idea whether they are honest peeps with good success ahead or not. Thats how you do it for all of the crypto projects old or new one. There is no way to secure your predictions way before timeline. For example, it would be idiotic to believe on the project which just got launched with some white paper, poor social network, too shiny roadmap etc. Even the most serious looking projects have failed for some reason or another in the past. So be sure to keep yourself updated with what you invest and act fast according to the time. Depends you wanna buy more or sell etc. Title: Re: How can we avoid scams in blockchain?

Main thing is that there is no way one can certain that ICO is legitimate or not. Some have lost money by investing in scams while many missed the real projects on fear of getting scammed. To me it all boils down to your research and luck. There is no proven software (like the one OP referring CheckDot) that can tell the legitimization of the project. Quote So be sure to keep yourself updated with what you invest and act fast according to the time. Depends you wanna buy more or sell etc. Real time to invest in project is before it get listed on any exchange, you can get the real juice out of the coin if you invest before that. Once on exchange the margin of profit goes down alot. Title: Re: How can we avoid scams in blockchain?

I thought this project is another bull crap but I think they have a good idea if they make there whitepaper successful. This is the solution on DeFi ecosystem. Most of the project on DeFi anonymous that's why there's a lot of smart contract audit out there that making a temporary solution on it. If there is a trusted company that will handle the audit of the team of a DeFi project. Investors will have an assurance that the project is safe. I hope that this will work and many DeFi project will consider to undergo there service to limit those scam project and shitty meme coin with anonymous devs. Title: Re: How can we avoid scams in blockchain?

It's true that the more partners the more trusted. still have to be careful too because many people create projects with fake partners who are almost the same as trusted partners. I've seen that have to be more careful.

Post by: riskarcher on November 11, 2021, 03:00:17 PM Do your own research, these are the best words in action. you just need to check the future plan in the whitepaper because there we can find out whether the project planing is clear or not and whether there is escrow in the project or not to achieve a hard cap with a certain value we also have to find out for sure so that we have parameters to determine whether the project is worth it or not that way we might avoid scam
Title: Re: How can we avoid scams in blockchain? Post by: taufik0911 on November 11, 2021, 03:06:04 PM what I usually do is look at the white paper and analyze whether this project has the potential to be a long-term project, then the background of the developer team and the last thing I analyze is the ecosystem of the token or coin because it is the ecosystem that makes the token needed and creates demand
Title: Re: How can we avoid scams in blockchain? Post by: mbakruroh on November 11, 2021, 03:38:41 PM Looks like they are finishing a big project. They developed a swap platform. If we look at previous story projects about swaps, most of them have had success with stable coin prices. You said the previous projects did not keep their promises and in the end investors suffered losses. I think you should compare the project you want to promote with the previous project which is equivalent.
Title: Re: How can we avoid scams in blockchain? Post by: nimogsm on November 11, 2021, 03:43:57 PM I primarily look at the project partners if there are audits, this is also a good plus.But still, this is not a guarantee of a successful project.In this industry, everything changes in a matter of minutes.For example, yesterday I lost 50% of the value of one asset due to a team error, although at first glance there was no doubt about the reliability.
Title: Re: How can we avoid scams in blockchain? Post by: asyakashi on November 11, 2021, 03:52:16 PM Now there are companies that serve audit services for the project so that the project becomes verified. But this kind of thing also does not guarantee that the project can be avoided from fraud. Because there has been a project that was audited from certik but can still cheat. The thing that can be anticipated from the most reasonable fraud project is the path of the project. Long-term projects usually always have good progress for the future.
Title: Re: How can we avoid scams in blockchain? Post by: mu_enrico on November 11, 2021, 03:56:01 PM Are you sure you want to avoid scams? Sometimes scam coins can get pumped so hard, meanwhile legit altcoins are just stuck without significant price movement. If you ask me, SHIB and other meme tokens are a scam, coins with pre-mine are a scam, POS coins and tokens are illegal securities, etc.
However, there are different scam "tiers." For obvious scam, such as fake tokens/NFT, you can just check the contract address, and be more diligent when dealing with NFT and dex exchange. Title: Re: How can we avoid scams in blockchain? Post by: eXtremal on November 11, 2021, 04:30:34 PM We need a project that can detect a new project whether it is potentially a scam or not. I've found a website like that. I forgot because it hadn't been used for a long time. Looks like Checkdot will be very useful for this problem. We really need a tool that can detect a project is right on its way or it's just a scam.
Title: Re: How can we avoid scams in blockchain? Post by: Huppercase on November 11, 2021, 05:20:32 PM Avoiding scam is easy and at the same time, it's difficult sometimes as they happen due to error or may be lack of knowledge about something and ignorance too.
Again, another thing that makes crypto scam spread is greed, it's a good thing to be greedy on your investment but not by making stupid decisions. Ignore huge returns on investment also, that way you don't have to get into anyone trap. Title: Re: How can we avoid scams in blockchain? Post by: OrangeII on November 11, 2021, 05:24:30 PM Hello everyone, I'm interested in the issue of checking projects and tokens. many people ask the same thing about this. however, it all comes back to yourself, which is how deep you researched it.There are many projects and each shows users big plans and ambitions. But as practice shows, not all projects keep their word and people often lose money by investing in the wrong project. Recently I came across a project that was created to solve this problem - CheckDot. They have a nice strategy for checking and verifying projects, which seems to be useful. What do you think about this problem and what solutions do you see? Avoiding scammers is possible if you know complete information about the project. team. the concepts they use, their activities, the developments they make, the products, and so on. these things are very necessary to know. Once you see a project that is good enough for you to support, you need to realize that investing also carries risks. how well you do your research, it goes back to the CEO. because they could just run with the investment money or do a rug pull. the risk will still be there, however, by doing research, the risk can be small. there is no 100% way to know whether the investment is really a good investment or not. Title: Re: How can we avoid scams in blockchain? Post by: DarkDays on November 11, 2021, 05:41:47 PM Hello everyone, I'm interested in the issue of checking projects and tokens. The problem is widespread and it is because of this that many projects pull out an exist scam. Other than DYOR there is not much one can do to avoid this. Obviously, looking at the team and their experience helps but I understand some of these teams are anonymous which makes this check impossible to conduct. Though, a list of reputable investors always help. There are many projects and each shows users big plans and ambitions. But as practice shows, not all projects keep their word and people often lose money by investing in the wrong project. Recently I came across a project that was created to solve this problem - CheckDot. They have a nice strategy for checking and verifying projects, which seems to be useful. What do you think about this problem and what solutions do you see? At this point in time, it is all bout conducting the right research and decide on the back of that. Also be aware of certain scam techniques Title: Re: How can we avoid scams in blockchain?

They have a nice strategy for checking and verifying projects, which seems to be useful. Why should someone diverge away from the ability to verify and check by ourselves into a third-party(CheckDot)? Does cryptocurrencies nature lose its meaning huh? Even if it's targeting regular Joe users or the general mainstream, diverging the trust into an entity is absurd.What do you think about this problem and what solutions do you see? I think the solution is simple, people should take a lot of consideration when they want invest to in a project. They should not blindly be following what is happening, what is on hype, etc. They should do thoughtful research and do their diligence when investing in projects. I believe it will significantly reduce people being scammed. Title: Re: How can we avoid scams in blockchain? Post by: isaac_clarke22 on November 11, 2021, 08:15:45 PM Not sure if OP is just promoting a platform or is purely into discussing this kind of matter.
@OP Isn't kind of obvious already on how to know what's 'too good to be true'? If someone promises you to 8x your money overnight, I don't think there's any point to tell if it is a scam or not. Title: Re: How can we avoid scams in blockchain? Post by: adzino on November 11, 2021, 08:22:48 PM Hello everyone, I'm interested in the issue of checking projects and tokens. The project itself sounds like a scam lol. And we don't need another project to determine if a project is a scam or not. People can do their own due diligence and research if a project is a scam or now. After all doing your own research is the first step of investing in crypto currencies. Scams are easy to spot. They have obvious signs, but people still ignores them because they think that the new project can give them 1000x within few days. Like look at squidgame token. People in reddit were warning each other that it is a scam, but still other people invested and lost everything.There are many projects and each shows users big plans and ambitions. But as practice shows, not all projects keep their word and people often lose money by investing in the wrong project.

Post by: Johnyz on November 11, 2021, 08:34:36 PM well its not that easy like just looking at the whitepaper . looking a bunch of stranger photos and immediately judging a project will be successful or not. In the end, it will be based on someone's belief in the project. maybe this can be a reference if I see how the developers are trying to promote their project openly. and how the project will be handled. whether realistic or not. but in essence no one will know what will happen in the future. I also often judge projects that look serious and end up being abandoned or failed. Its not easy but its possible, you just need to take time to read everything and analyze before you invest. What we can’t stop here is for them to come in because its easy to create fake projects so be more extra careful before you invest. If you are in doubt, share that project here, someone can help you on this and they might give you some analysis on that project. Always be wise on your investments, don’t be a victim of those scammers.Title: Re: How can we avoid scams in blockchain?

How can you check the veracity and verify the project in the first place? It will be like DYOR in my opinion. And if what if they found some anomaly? Will they raise a red flag? and what if the project they've flagged doesn't agree with them? If will be a back and forth war between the two project. I guess still boils down to us investors to really check everything ourselves before pouring our hard earn money on any projects. Title: Re: How can we avoid scams in blockchain?

Everyone who lacks of knowledge determining what the scams are will make you vulnerable about investing to the scam projects. But if you're knowledgeable and aware what are the typical scams. You're unlikely to invest into those scam projects and you won't even spend time reading info about them. Title: Re: How can we avoid scams in blockchain?

But, how effective?Actually, for the first time, it may be difficult to see which is legit and which is a scam, except we have known the team members with the good track records in the previous projects. Today, there are many scam projects resembling very legit projects, with many community members, ensuring platforms or websites, teams, and also others. that is why in selecting the project, we need to analyze and gather all informatins related to the projects clearly, based on their team even real or not, roadmap, community cahnells or group,.

Read the review about this project and i see this is just a new project for people to buy the tokens so they can benefit by validating which projects are valid meaning this does not at all go through an investigation to prove a project is valid.What do you think about this problem and what solutions do you see? What can be done is to check all the things in the project if you want to know if the project is trustyworthy, but still we may not be able to detect everything exactly but can reduce it by carefully checking all the projects we want to invest in. Title: Re: How can we avoid scams in blockchain? Post by: josephdd1 on November 12, 2021, 03:34:48 AM Everything is gained with experience. When you have seen a lot of projects you will feel if this project is fair and have good prospects or it is a scam. The most reliable thing is certainly a smart contract as developers can say what they want on their web-site. Nevertheless, if you open a smart-contract, you will find out everything so the best way to avoid scams it is to learn how to read smart-contracts.

It is not difficult for us to avoid scams in blockchain if we have good experience and extensive research on the project we want to invest in. We can easily identify the honest project from the scam project, but we need some time to review the project in all its aspects, and in my opinion, we don't need to rely On a project that checks projects, it is okay to use it and use sites that display project rating and information about it, but the biggest task lies in relying on ourselves to read the project whitepaper and verify its future goals in the roadmap and verify the expertise of the project team in the success of such projects.There are many projects and each shows users big plans and ambitions.

We can't conclude that each report will be successful and how things will affect the investors. End point, investors need to continue doing their DYOR to avoid scam.

and apart from investigating What/who the source is and everything you can google, and whether they are well-known in the crypto community and have a good or bad reputation and so on, do a detailed investigation until the project is really trustworthy, see the whitepaper and ask lots of questions to developer regarding the Project being carried out and value the answered answers for consideration.

Post by: el kaka22 on November 12, 2021, 07:45:21 PM It is not difficult for us to avoid scams in blockchain if we have good experience and extensive research on the project we want to invest in. We can easily identify the honest project from the scam project, but we need some time to review the project in all its aspects, and in my opinion, we don't need to rely On a project that checks projects, it is okay to use it and use sites that display project rating and information about it, but the biggest task lies in relying on ourselves to read the project whitepaper and verify its future goals in the roadmap and verify the expertise of the project team in the success of such projects. It is easy to do so when you are a veteran (and sometimes we jump into things knowing they are scam just to test if we could profit and get out before it comes out as scam), but newbies must be having one tough situation in their hands to be honest.I mean it is not simple to just work on "avoiding scam", it is not something that I would advice working on since it is not something you can study, you just see scams and hope that you avoid them at first, read about them, learn how they are done, talk with the ones who got scammed, and try to even "participate" like you are getting scammed by someone and learn how he is trying to scam you and then block them. That is the most perfect method, they try to scam you, you look gullible enough to be convinced and learn their ways and then report them and block them. This is the way everyone becomes better because we keep getting contacted by scammers. Title: Re: How can we avoid scams in blockchain? Post by: Wawa2013 on November 12, 2021, 08:08:34 PM Yes, it is the obligation of investors to investigate before they get involved and must be smarter in assessing the projects to be followed, try to read everything carefully and thoroughly and also do analysis. and apart from investigating What/who the source is and everything you can google, and whether they are well-known in the crypto community and have a good or bad reputation and so on, do a detailed investigation until the project is really trustworthy, see the whitepaper and ask lots of questions to developer regarding the Project being carried out and value the answered answers for consideration. Actually, most people who fall victim to scams are people who don't check the projects they follow carefully. If we investigate all the projects that we will participate in, we should be able to avoid choosing project scams. But the problem is that many people are lazy to do an investigation by checking the development team, making sure the whitepaper used is original, the social media activities of the projects, and the crypto community's response to the projects. In the end many people only choose projects based on the opinions of others, especially people who have a lot of followers on social media become a reference for many people to choose projects. That's all that often happens, so many investors end up buying project scams, especially for newbies who are victims of scammers, then blame that the cryptocurrency world is a scam. Even though it's their own fault investing in projects they don't know, and they do not do research and analysis of the projects they will participate in. Title: Re: How can we avoid scams in blockchain? Post by: hodlftw on November 12, 2021, 08:15:47 PM Not seeing this mentioned too much or at all but, the team really makes the difference. For one, you should know if they are going to scam/rug you. Secondly, if they are a reliable team they likely will do well. That was one of my first big errors in investing. Heck, if all you knew was Sam Fried coming into this bull run, well thats all you needed. Teams are a big deal.
Title: Re: How can we avoid scams in blockchain? Post by: SquallLeonhart on November 12, 2021, 08:58:32 PM Hello everyone, I'm interested in the issue of checking projects and tokens. If the website you said you discovered is very good at using their strategy to discover which projects in the cryptocurrency market is fake or real, then you can go ahead and be making use of the website to check whether a project is really what they’re claiming to be or not. Then if you want to do it manually by yourself, then I would suggest that you always check the team that is behind a project and know who they truly are and whether they are who they claim to be.There are many projects and each shows users big plans and ambitions. But as practice shows, not all projects keep their word and people often lose money by investing in the wrong project. Recently I came across a project that was created to solve this problem - CheckDot. They have a nice strategy for checking and verifying projects, which seems to be useful. What do you think about this problem and what solutions do you see? There are lots of social media that you can check out who they are, check their LinkedIn profile, their twitters, their Facebook accounts and know if they’re really who they claim to be and whether they have the kind of experience that they claim to bring to the table. And finally know whether those are not just scammers who are impersonating legit people out there that knows nothing about the project. This is just one piece from me.

But you need to understand, the risk in any cryptocurrency project has its risk as you never know which project will deliver and which project will collect money and run away with it. Many of the cryptocurrency investors does not really care if the project really succeed, all they want is a pump so that they could book their profit.Title: Re: How can we avoid scams in blockchain?

Post by: JoyMarsha on December 21, 2021, 06:52:37 AM First of all, I will check the contract with the dog hunter software in the telegram to see if there are red flags in the contract. I will also check its website and community to see if the number of participants is large enough and whether they are very active. Considering a project based on her large number of community members doesn't mean the project is legit. It's very wrong to have such a mindset. What normally grows community on telegram is bounty hunters and airdroppers, not investors. Investors in most of the large communities I have seen are very few at the end. I always go with the ICO rating of a project, to know it's genuineness Title: Re: How can we avoid scams in blockchain?

Recently I came across a project that was created to solve this problem - CheckDot. They have a nice strategy for checking and verifying projects, which seems to be useful. What do you think about this problem and what solutions do you see? There are several elements that show a project's authenticity. You can check a project has those or not and then you can decide this will be a good investment plan or you should have exited from that project. First, check the project contract is audited or not. Then check for their partnership and development plan. There are a lot of VCs who invested in new projects every day. I can trust a project if that is backed by binance or kucoin. Another thing is a good project is very common and that is they are very active in their social media. A good project always keeps their community updated.

Post by: Ngewex Yuk on December 21, 2021, 02:45:00 PM It is difficult to detect whether the project is real or will become a scam, scammers of course know and fix which points are easy to detect, this is why we must immediately implement strict regulations for projects so they are not used for scams.

Post by: VanityWallets2015 on December 21, 2021, 02:56:58 PM -snip- I couldn’t agree more with you. Although, it would be really challenging to know ultimately and right away if a project is a scam or not, it is not impossible to find out by doing the above. I also observed that those who are with pure intentions are active and eager to answer inquiries and attend to concerns as much as they could. Title: Re: How can we avoid scams in blockchain?

Post by: lvsca on December 21, 2021, 03:07:10 PM I don't think it will be 100% doable even if there are projects that can audit projects like checkdot. But at least, it can help 80% make us understand the scam project and can avoid it, Usually the scam project has a great promotion when the token sale he will give a big discount and there is no progress of working on the token sale only.
Title: Re: How can we avoid scams in blockchain? Post by: irsykes on December 21, 2021, 03:29:06 PM I will just wait the token to listed in bigger exchange i think. It is yes, need time but it is better to safe than sorry. I mean, in investing we are free to pick what coin and project that we want. So if not really sure about project that open IDO, ICO or any kind of token sale before the project launched, just avoid it.

Title: Re: How can we avoid scams in blockchain? Post by: sherenikaw on December 21, 2021, 10:44:41 PM the project does offer a good deal where we can avoid scammers a bit. but we must also be able to understand the project well and determine whether the project is worth following or not. scammers are everywhere and we have to be careful with them. There are many cases where a scammer's project brings in a lot of money from investors and this is a bad thing. scammers have various ways to deceive and attract enthusiasts, therefore we must be more careful in choosing a project because to avoid scammers its starts from ourselves to be able to choose a good project.
Title: Re: How can we avoid scams in blockchain? Post by: Rengga Jati on December 21, 2021, 11:05:11 PM Actually, this topic has been a very old issue and this is never solved at all. Because, scammers will always set scam projects, scam programs, scam investment, and also other type of scams.
And unfortunately, although this has been notified from long time ago, there are still many people who are trapped in the scams, both newbies or even others. Recently I came across a project that was created to solve this problem - CheckDot. They have a nice strategy for checking and verifying projects, which seems to be useful. Actually there have been some platforms who do this effort in order to minimize being scammed. But how effective it is will depend on what kind of scam analysis done by the platform and how objectives are the analysis. Sometimes, we may consider that a new project belongs to grade A with good project potential without any scam, but in fact, the project is just a shit and scam. So, you must do checking and analyzing carefully and smartly because scammers are exactly very smart in utilizing every situation. Title: Re: How can we avoid scams in blockchain?

But as practice shows, not all projects keep their word and people often lose money by investing in the wrong project. How exactly does this CheckDot you’re talking about identify projects that are scam and the ones that are legit? A little explanation on how it works would suffice. Anyways I still be making use of the old method that I use whenever I want to find a project that is legit or scam. You just have to follow the process –the first thing I do when I happen to get any interest on any project is that I get to know their team first; there is a lot to do with this – you have to know whether the team are truly who they claim to be by thoroughly researching them.Recently I came across a project that was created to solve this problem - CheckDot. They have a nice strategy for checking and verifying projects, which seems to be useful. The next thing I have to look at is their whitepaper – this is very important before you start talking about flashy websites and the rest of them. A whitepaper will show you the background, goals, strategy, concerns,and time line of that project you’re about to get yourself involved. There’s a lot to do with the whitepaper and it’s going to help you decide whether it’s something you want to be a part of or not. Then you have to look at the token sale, and how feasible is the project, even after all that you still have to exercise caution. So talking about the CheckDot website, is it really going to do all that for you, and how does it do that? Title: Re: How can we avoid scams in blockchain?

Recently I came across a project that was created to solve this problem - CheckDot. They have a nice strategy for checking and verifying projects, which seems to be useful. What do you think about this problem and what solutions do you see? First of all i think it is necessary to say, that you can never avoid all scams 100%, even if you are doing your research as thoroughly as possible and everything looks great it can still be a scam in the end, a very well made scam then. Of course there are some things that you can do to minimize the risk that you are investing into a scammer project. First of all i would check the team, if they are completely anonymous then this would be a big red flag for me. If they are posting real pictures of themselves make a google reverse image search to check if those are real pictures or if they were just taken from the internet. Also checked linkedin for the track record of the developers. Title: Re: How can we avoid scams in blockchain? Post by: zulfi125 on December 25, 2021, 01:34:02 PM you should don't need to invest in that project that has no IDO, you should invest in that project that has IDO on a good platform and you should analyze the project first before investing in a brand-new project, if you can't do this then you need to invest that has a good community and good team and check their profile as well.

But we also can not generalize all project that has IDO are all great projects, there are some projects with IDO and after the public market sale on cex, the price going down under the IDO price which is the projects could be called a failed projects. And also there some coins or tokens which just launch at dex at their first sales, and experienced a success, so it's all depends on the project itself not how they do the sales Title: Re: How can we avoid scams in blockchain? Post by: tvplus006 on December 25, 2021, 01:58:56 PM Some projects are created initially for the purpose of fraud, to collect money from gullible investors. But most projects become such in the process of development, when the team cannot solve a technical problem and refuses to continue working on the project. This is particularly due to the fact that sufficient funds were not raised to work on the project.

Post by: Ulven on December 25, 2021, 02:15:19 PM I think that avoiding scams is not easy, but it requires a lot of effort, we must be wise before investing. That is why we must go deeper during our study of a project in terms of its credibility and ways to succeed.
You can always rely on the site you shared but keep in mind that scammers always get loopholes as it is now happening there in CMC. Title: Re: How can we avoid scams in blockchain?

By doing this alone you could avoid 100% of the scams and you just need to worry about volatility afterwards. There is also reason why most of the promising projects that binance or any big exchange endorsed are usually over funded at their initial stage because they just better and zero chance being scam.

Its better to make a depth in research or DYOR so you can analyze whether the project is legit enough or may fall into scam as it has no clear identities of the staff behind or its own whitepaper has set its goal that is too far to be achieved.
