Nice catch, that's not new in the world of internet, specially nowadays with this projects that makes easy money for scammers like them. They will grab everything in the net to create a new person. I hope any DT member will tag the account to warn others not to invest in this project.

This work seems to be done by beginners in an attempt to raise money using the common name of "IoT" technology.
Everything is forged in this site and appear to be copied and pasted from many sites.
The white paper looks funny and mostly from this site IoT networks overview (https://axible.io/en/iot-networks-overview/), whitepaper link: https://iothome.store/whitepaper.pdf (https://iothome.store/whitepaper.pdf).
Also, there are errors in some links such as Discuss on the BitcoinTalk | Github page (https://github.com/iothome-rc/iothome/tree/master/doc) this link for [ANN][PIVX] - PRIVATE INSTANT VERIFIED TRANSACTION - PROOF OF STAKE - ZEROCOIN (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1262920.0)

They first incorrectly called their topic: [ANN] Klimatas - Disruptive Sustainability - PoS / MN
Copy paste
Now so: [ANN] [IOTH] IoT Home - Make your home smart! PoS/Masternodes

Hi there.
Seems like I have to explain that happens.
My name is Oscar and I'm main developer of IoT Home.

1. Andrey just cheating me.
My fault that i didn't check who he is.
He send me fake photo and LinkedIn page.
But some details:
a) I'll talk to him and ask him send me all the proof of he is not a scammer
b) Seems like he is Russian and thats the reason of IoT Home domain registered in Saints Petersburg

2. In our white paper we use articles that belong to other people, but we are dont steal them.

we added articles unchanged and added links to them, this is a fair use.
Also, all references to research were added without changes.

3. The reason why there are references to another coin in github is just a fork with some modifications. We will fix the links in the next update.

4. Well, the most stupid mistake is that I use the multi-buffer for copying and put the wrong line in the topic, everyone can make a mistake.



Your feedback is very important to me.
The most important part of this is Andrei who tried to deceive me and the community. I'll deal with it. Thank.

Always the same excuses. We need to make a list of excuses for fraudsters so that they simply check the necessary checkboxes. They are so lazy to check the information about their colleagues.

I see no reason to collect information about a person whom I trust and who has helped me with a lot. fake photo means nothing, I think.
but it is worth finding out many more things.


but nevertheless you still think that our white paper is plagiarism, although we have all references to sources?
