Since a community member deemed it fit to attack my personality, I will withdraw from answering the questions, perhaps another team member may set in.  Xtrm world is a legal entity, any issue regarding content, Xtrm world will fix the issue with said parties.

Thank you so much Bitcointalk community. We would wish some members benefited from our bounty.

I see no one is talking about the elephant in the room yet!
I honestly haven't noticed that, great catch! One more proof that they don't have a single original idea with this project. They can't write website content, whitepaper, or even design the exchange. Everything was taken from someone else, the more you dig, more plagiarism you find!

Can't wait to hear explanation for this. I bet it was will be web designer fault, who they just hired to make them website.


Plagiarism or 'adopted and adapted'? Judge for yourself ...  Grin
You gotta love those euphemisms for plagiarizing. I am sure that it is obvious to everyone what is going on here.


I will state again, all article used in our website and whitepaper are being contacted, once we get a consent from the original authors, we will fully referenced the article, those we can't get consent from,we will reach out to their journals and publisher for further discussion.
XTRM is a legal entity, we do appreciate Bitcointalk community for their concerns, we have noted all accusation. We are open to any decisions the author and designer of this articles take. We are also going to ascribe full credit to the original author and designers of these articles. We are aware of copyright laws hence we are guiding ourselves within the limit.


We are hoping that everything is cleared now and we are ready in everything that the author and the designer will take, we are currently improving, revising and changing our website contents and whitepaper, few more days, you will see the changes, and we will credit some content to the author of course. We, the XTRM TEAM want for the approval of BTT Community, and we are happy if everyone let us to launch our bounty and ann. We all know how big BTT can help company like us.

Well it depends on the aspect you see things from, most people don't understand plagiarism and referencing,  in our present world, no idea is new, hence the world encourage proper referencing, it wouldn't cost my company much to pay a good author to script jargons consider as fresh and original but yet not the idealogy of the company
But you didn't just copy some technical stuff and jargons, you copied some basic and general stuff like text about your streaming service. This is perfect example of your laziness, inability to write a few sentences about movies and streaming. Even that you had to copy. I am pretty sure that you copied more stuff, as so far whatever I checked, it turned out to be taken from someone else.



What about this discovery made by @FatFork? How do you comment the fact that you completely ripped of blockchain.com design, from graphics to text? Only thing you changed is color. Is that also part of your adopting?

Back to the same point again, I guess you see copying as a crime, we at XTRM have a different veiw, we acknowledge good ideas, we adopt it and we would give the original author the credit. My company's ideology is similar to what is found on those documents, they were a source of inspiration to us. Our company has been quizzed,accused and blackmailed regarding citing article in our whitepaper, we remain resolved to not changing our original ideology because it will ruin all effort thus far.
As stated earlier, the documents we sourced our inspirations from will feature in our website as well as whitepaper, they will be fully referenced and consent will be taken from original authors. All article published and available to the public can be used in a new article or write up, as long as the original author is given credits to, hence a reason XTRM quickly retracted her whitepaper to make correct our earlier error. Once upon a time binance was accused of plagiarism bitmex documents due to poor referencing. A company shouldn't be called a scam because it got inspiration from a document, and cite the documents in its whitepaper. We will give original authors their due recognition.



I will state again, all article used in our website and whitepaper are being contacted, once we get a consent from the original authors, we will fully referenced the article, those we can't get consent from,we will reach out to their journals and publisher for futher discussion.

I am not so sure about that, as you copied much more than just those 2 articles that you admitted ( actually, you didn't even admit that you plagiarized, you used words like "adopted" and "adapted")


In my previous post I presented one more article that you copied without giving credit, but unfortunately that wasn't the only one, as I found few more:


In this case, you copied an article from cryptocurrencyfacts

https://cryptocurrencyfacts.com/what-is-a-dex/


From your whitepaper about dAPP. That is also copied from the same source as previous one, cryptocurrencyfacts

https://cryptocurrencyfacts.com/what-is-a-dex/


And this is about cryptocurrency arbitrage. Naturally, you copied that as well

https://coinrivet.com/guides/what-is-cryptocurrency-trading/what-is-cryptocurrency-arbitrage/



You aim to achieve so many things with XTRM (Exchange, Forex trade platform, crypto gambling&gaming, stream service, travel&tourism etc) and yet despite your huge team, you were unable to write your own whitepaper without copying from others. And what is even worse, without even including references for copied material.

Well it depends on the aspect you see things from, most people don't understand plagiarism and referencing,  in our present world, no idea is new, hence the world encourage proper referencing, it wouldn't cost my company much to pay a good author to script jargons consider as fresh and original but yet not the idealogy of the company. As we stated earlier, our new whitepaper would be out soon, nothing will be altered, we would get a proper consent from the author of those articles we used and reference them properly on our website and whitepaper. We encourage originality, hence we accept our error in poor referencing and we are currently addressing it. Here is a screenshot of our whitepaper being worked on.




And again, we are fixing everything now, we are developing new contents. Yes, there are more article we scripted our whitepaper from, all will be referenced in our new whitepaper, we have contacted most of the authors and we are getting a positive feedback, the authors will get our new whitepaper and proof read through before we make it public.

In 21st century plagiarism is a crime, even worst is when the author is denied credits to their write up, my company has resolved that all article used on our website and whitepaper must be fully acknowledge, we won't deny credits to original authors of the articles we used because we want to cover up an earlier negligence just to look original.

Yes, you did, and that's the definition of plagiarism and word spinning.


Plagiarism is when a document is copied without reference to the original author, we agree we made that error, we have contacted Debraj, informed him about using his article, also we referenced him on our new whitepaper which will be released soon.

Also, we contacted the author of the article we used and there will be possibility that we will hire him, some have responded to us with a positive remark, we will for the response of the others, as of now there is no agreement  that has been reached or made.

So everyone who approaches you becomes your representative without a check? Interesting.



Not everyone that approaches us gets a job, our company is huge, we were focusing much on development that we had an oversight, we have recently set up a panel in our administrative desk to screen any applicant before employing them as a staff of our company, so as to avert being affliated with any event or personnel that may harm our companies reputation.

Good, how about telling us what happened to your CEO's previous project, Yocoin?
Things like...the price of the coin that was supposed to revolutionize everything? Or what happened to yoniex?


Yocoin is very much alive, we recently launched TOKENGIANTS which enables users create a token on YOCOIN BLOCKCHAIN, we also listed Yocoin recently on probit exchange.

Regarding Yocoin price, we are adding more utility to Yocoin so as to increase its demand, with an increase demand comes a good price. Our team are steadfast to our vision at inception which is making Yocoin the cheapest and smartest language for dapps.

Yoniex activities was halted according to advise of technical expert, user of the exchange fully withdrew their assets and the exchange activities were suspended.

So you adopted article?Is that new  euphemism for plagiarising?

Regarding "adapted" part, all you did was changing stuff like "blockchain technology" to XTRM blockchain tehcnology" or "decentralized cloud" to XTRM decentralized cloud". You copied whole big chunks of that article,it wasn't just paraphrasing, it was word for word copy, and everyone can see that in scam accusation thread.

By the way, I still see the same plagiarized content on your website.

We are still creating a new content there, few more days it will be deleted, and we will replace it.

One more question: how come there is no one named Tom David in your whitepaper, yet you said you are representative of XTRM team?
Well, the company decided those who appeared on our whitepaper as well as our website, I would have love to make the list, so also many others.  I belong to the development team as well as marketing team. I am popularly Known as tomdav ( tom- da- V), I got that Nick name due to the existence of  several Tom David.
You may contact me in telegram @tomdav  also in here  tomdavid729@yahoo.com



I hope the coast is clear now, and we can launch our BOUNTY and ANN in here. We love this BTT community so much, and we want to give a good bounty to everyone.

Dear Bitcointalk community,

I am Tom David, I am a representative of XTRM team, our attention was drawn to an accusation that made our bounty to be red flagged and hidden. I would answer to all the accusations raised.

We would like to answer our accusation and recent issues here:
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5250686.msg54489341#msg54489341

1. We were accused that we copied content (plagiarized) from Coinbase, blockchain,trust wallet website and some medium article.

Answer: We did not copy content from Coinbase , blockchain,trust wallet website and some medium article as our accuser alleged, The concept of cryptobanking isn't indigenous to XTRM, we rather adopted and adapted an article from a popular crypto writer Debraj Chatterjee on cryptobanking as well as that of Kumar Sharma on Data storage. We accept that our initial whitepaper had a poor referencing,hence we pulled it down to give full credit of authorship to the original writers in our recent whitepaper.

2.Our bounty was labeled a scam because it was posted by NashAmajh.

Answer: NashAmajh approached us as a Bitcointalk bounty manager, we hired him to assist in managing the Bitcointalk community while we focus on development. Having been drawn to his reputation on Bitcointalk, we deemed it fit to have another manager handle our Bitcointalk account. We will create it, once we have been clean in all this allegations.

You may contact me,for anything about this issue, we hope to resolve this soon , we are a real company, with a real vision. We have a good bounty to be shared to everyone if bitcointalk community will let us to launch it.

We are open to any correction, we accept that we had an oversight on some issues which we are currently addressing, but it doesn't mean that our company is fraudulent or scam. We are making our new content , it is in progress now.

I hope for your understanding and consideration. Thanks to everyone. Also, our statement is advised by our lawyer, we are being careful from now on.
