Title: SENTRY ICO
Post by: bennycoinz on October 03, 2017, 09:34:51 AM
I noticed that Sentry ico had no website, no Twitter and that everybody posting had Sentry logos in their post. It seemed like a scam to me so I commented and said I think this is possibly a scam and they instantly deleted my post like they had it automatically deleted based on the keyword scam. It sounds like a good project but realistically if a company is willing to spend millions of dollars to conduct an Ico they should at least have a website.

First off, you don't need millions to start an ICO. A single person with time and imagination can easily throw together a convincing looking "coin". It's always helpful to point out suspicious behavior like this, but don't assume that they are anything more than a carefully put together scam, very few offer any new functionality over bitcoin.

If Sentry is so good, why do they need all these threads with the same people (many of them newbies) shilling the coin with no real arguments.

It looks like Sentry is trying to create a lot of hype when they don't really have much. Just my opinion

That's exactly what I am thinking now.

They even changed the title of the topic (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2232990.0;all)

ICO had started but they still changed the rule (50% bonus)

Not to mention some other red flags I am keeping for my self.

I have my ETH ready now but I will think twice.

When there is even a fraction of doubt, don't take the bait and don't investing such icos

the sentry logos are because of the bounty campain, you can/could (not sure if it is still open) join the bounty campian then use their logo as Avatar. and their signature.
might be useful for spreading their word in other topics. At least I think that was the intended use of it.
