i think the question to ask the @op is that how many scam project he has come across that lasted for more than 10 years and still going strong? before people start making irrelevant post about what they have less knowledge about, it will be best to make some inquiries and research as well, the op just lack understanding just as you already stated, he is just seeking attention and nothing more.

i don't think there is any need to be concerned about personal data because none is require, i completed the survey and no personal information was require except age and sex educational qualification which are not directly tied to any specific individual, this is base on general evaluation, anyone can comfortably do the survey, well everyone know what they consider a sensitive information,
anyways here below is a screen shot of part of the survey, i found it interesting..

IEO never left so i wonder why you put it as return, till now many project still go for ieo whenever they want to raise funds for their project, even very few project still run ico too although not as much as previous years but there are still few running,
however, ieo is definitely the better option, no need to state the reasons why since we all are already familiar with them, but ieo is still consider more safer than ico any time.  

Sad thing to have happened to your friend but don't you think the heading of your topic is a bit misleading! at first i thought eth wallet has resulted to scamming activity, after reading the post it was clear the scam took place as a result of of the info stored in the email, you make it sound like eth wallet is at fault,
anyways it has been over stressed here that people should avoid storing their priv key on their email on any online file, the danger is high,
and we should also learn how to avoid opening unknown mails, you can either flagged them as spam, put on blacklist or delete immediately without opening, you never know what will pop out.

Isn't binance part of the ownership of trust wallet! i think they have a relationship, anyways, i don't use the wallet but so far from those who are using it i don't think they have any complain, although nobody can give you 100% guarantee of the safety of the wallet, you should bare this in mind, even if you also decided to leave them on binance account, they are equally safe because binance itself guarantee the safety of all funds in their platform, according to them, your funds are SAFU.

Even if btc dies what about blockchain will it die too! most projects are pegged not only in btc but in stable coin as well like usdt, if for any reason btc happens to stop existing i don't think it will be the end of all crypto, as long as blockchain exist i think other crypto will exit regardless if btc is available or not.

i think the answer which @stanlo is probably looking for is  - must everyone who have 32 eth and want to stake be a validator or they can stake normally without being a validator!, because the quote above does not really specify or differentiate normal stakers and validators, so i guess everyone who wants to stake will have to be a validator.

Between eth is already a very successful project and doesn't require any shilling from CZ or any other crypto pioneer, people can genuinely say their mind without doing any shilling, you have to know this. 

it is too early to tell what will the president-elect do interms of crypto but i have the feeling that his administration will be lot less strict and open to suggestions on the best approach to take regarding crypto, there will be positive change in this administration because Bidden wouldn't want to take the part of his predecessor, much anticipation in this administration right some of the wrongs. 

No longer news, they can easily get their hands on those data from all the centralize exchanges out there, where they will experience a road block is with dex since no kyc is required to trade, goodluck to them, lol, this is the reason why many crypto users are avoiding all this centralize exchange because of unforeseen situations like this, one way or the other tax authority will find a way to get you, it seem not going to be easy to avoid them.   

Most unofficial listing are usually done by this small exchange looking for new members and hoping to increase their volume through unofficially listing a popular project, and yes through this means it is very easy for scammers to take advantage so it will be wise to only interact and transact with the official listing from the project team.

Isn't it clear to you already, they gave you 200 vela and expect you to buy 300 vela in other to be able to withdraw because they have intentionally increase the withdrawal limit more than what they have Airdrop, if they are doing this to alll members who receive the airdrop and they oblige to pay $15 to claim $10 airdrop means they are definitely scamming users or about to scam, there is a red flag here.

Poor innocent investors are the victims of this malicious plan, most of them are just setting a trap for investors who will suffer the loss, they will hype the project and make it seem as if the volume is high, but most are fake, they are only buying time for new victims to get in then they will dump and move on,
Nowadays, am very skeptic about investing in new project because of this very reason, better to observe that project before anything else.

You made  valid points,
Learning and understanding the market behavior is very important, in fact, I would say should be the top priority of every crypto new Comer, some people who enter crypto have a total different picture on their mind, they only see when the price is up and the profit they will make but they never thought of when the price is down how they will handle the situation, hence number 1 point is very important.

Another important point is don't invest more than you can afford to lose, don't get carried away and try to invest too much thinking you will make the money back in few days, reason why it is better to fully understand the market movement and your chances of making profit.

In any case if you don't trade the voucher is automatically useless to the user? Very clever offer. Better not to deceive participants with this voucher offer, it is clear many will not benefit from it since they are required to must trade in your exchange to claim it and I bet there is a catch to the trading as well.

Covid-19 really forced lots of business to a halt and bmy.guide seem to be among those directly affected, of course as a project that has to do with traveling and tourism it will definitely force a stop, there were travel ban in most countries and operating in this circumstance will be impossible, I think now that the pandemic is not a threat anymore, new rules will be implemented on operations in the traveling industry, good thing the team are still very much ready to push the project forward despite some set back.

How convenient, have you seen the market with hundreds of useless tokens floating around with no specific purpose! Why will a project be base on token factory just to provide a platform to every dick and harry to create more shit coins to dump into the already over saturated market!
Seriously you could have thought of a better niche to handle, something that is truly wanted and needed, that will benefit the crypto ecosystem,
When this tokens are a created then what? The creators just go dump them in the market and come create some more, like eth is not already doing enough in that department, excellent idea token factory  

First of all why the Ann thread is self moderated? I take it you are not ready to entertain some criticism that will be coming your way regarding the xsl Labs project otherwise I don't see the point for self moderation since only questions will most likely be ask here,
And as for the concept, I do like the idea of have a decentralized project protecting the privacy of our date, although still trying to understand how this will work on a general basis or just limited to the xsl Labs ecosystem.

I did expect the ltx ieo to sell out but not as fast as it went , like some 10 sec whirlwind, actually am not surprise because lattice is an updated version of uniswap or dex in general with many features like scalability and interoperability which makes it stands out from the rest, lattice is not your ever day dex, it is a dex with advance features and investors knows where their money should be, if you are looking for a project with real usage then done look too far away, the reason why many exchange waiting inline to list ltx

You have hit the nail on the head...
- Finding a good bm is key because we have several of them the forum that are well known with good reputation and also very committed, a good bm can make the campaign experience smooth,
- Exchange listing is subjective in this case because it depends on the capability of the team to pursue a strong and top exchange or go for something less in the main time,
- 100% in support of accepting limited participants, just like my current campaign and the previous one, they are all limited campaign which is very reasonable for both the participants and the growth of the project (price wise)
- I use to frown at this particular option until my participation in the Dia campaign and i realize it was not such a bad option, because in no time the 3 phase is coming to an end, so yeah it is a good way of controlling price.

The only thing that am seeing a lil bit similar to that of 2017 is btc but the rest of the alts are just lacking behind, the similarity is very thin, it can not be compared to 2017 in several reasons, when i saw the price surge of btc i thought the bull run is upon us and perhaps the rest of the alts will follow up but i don't think that will be the situation in this case, at least not for now, but am thinking year end will bring even more goodies alongside,
someone said in another thread that btc will likely dip down to 9k by 7th when the election result are finalized, am just curious if this will be the case.
