Hello,

I went through your website, whitepaper and articles in the last few days.
You guys have a pretty strong team. Smiley

Can you explain us more about NLP and your AI?

AI based crypto predictions, not bad. Im wondering though how you guys are using a blockchain for AI?

your AI team leader seems to be a pretty big guy in data science, makes me definitely interested.

i will make my predictions later!
good luck for your project!

Yes, I would definitely trust a user that has only one post to his name and especially when that post contains 0 proof and has too large captions... NOT.

Isn't there a moderator for these things??  Huh

well the github link from the dev contains nothing more then an erc20 token template.  Huh

I wanted to inform everyone that i verified through a phone call that this project is indeed legit!

The phone number was owned by the Poznan University of Technology in Poland, computer science faculty and i was talking with OP (Gridnet).

I want to apoligise and i am deeply sorry that i labeled the project so quickly as a scam.

I hope the best for your project and wish you guys to succeed in changing the world!  Wink


9  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Tokens (Altcoins) / Re: [ANN][ICO] «Envion» Most Profitable Self-Expanding Crypto Infrastructure on: November 13, 2017, 03:22:50 AM
Hey guys,

I just did a bit of research on the team.

And I took the time to read the whole 57 pages of the whitepaper as I find that the concept sounds good and there will be regions in the world where electricity is cheap and modular mining farms will be a viable concept.

However, I found more information on the team itself, which I'd like to share with you. I added the links to the LinkedIn profiles of the team in case anyone wants to verify them. The descriptions of the members below are either taken from the whitepaper or from the homepage:

On page 53 of the whitepaper they describe the team:
https://www.linkedin.com/in/matthias-woestmann-b87922119/
"Matthias Woestmann:  an investor in renewable energies since the early 2000s. Woestmann financed the Berlin-based solar module producer SOLON AG, which became one of the leading German module producers. His investment vehicle Quadrat Capital GmbH has also invested in technology and service startups in Berlin. He is an expert in energy markets not only in Germany, but across Europe and beyond."

On page 54 of the whitepaper it says:
"In 2015, Matthias Woestmann met an entrepreneur from the PV ecosystem, an experienced professional, co-founder of one of the largest solar companies in Germany and
an experienced investor in PV parks globally."

What they do not mention:
It is true that Matthias Woestmann co-financed a 300 million company, it was named Solon AG and went bankrupt in 2011/2012, was rebranded and finally sold off the the United Arab Emirates.
Follow the link to see the share chart:
https://www.wallstreet-online.de/aktien/solon-aktie#t:max||s:lines||a:abs||v:month||ads:null
Here's the Wikipedia article:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solon_SE

I don't know how much he had to do with the development of the company but I think it is information worth mentioning here, as they, understandably, don't mention it in their whitepaper.


https://www.linkedin.com/in/krusenbaum/
"Felix Krusenbaum: An IT-professional with over 6 years of experience as a strategy
consultant at A.T. Kearney with a focus on digital, retail and eCommerce; 10 years of startup
and programming experience; second career as a serial founder of startup companies."
On the homepage is says:
Entrepreneur, strategy consultant, IT professional. More than 10 years industry & top management consulting at A.T. Kearney

According to his LinkedIn profile has he only been at A.T. Kearney for 5 years and 8 months
-> the information on the homepage is wrong, suggesting he has been with A.T. Kearney for more than 10 years. Why do they still claim this on the homepage?

More interesting is even Jonathan Koch:
https://www.linkedin.com/in/kochjonathan/
On the homepage it says:
"Jonathan Koch: Software engineer with 10 years of experience as a team leader at Rocket Internet & wooga."

According to his LinkedIn profile he was been with Rocket internet for 1 year and 1 month and with wooga for 1 year and 4 months, all in all 2 years and 5 months.
I can provide screenshots, if necessary.

The description in the whitepaper however says that he was for 10 years with these companies in the role of a team leader.

-> this information is CLEARLY wrong.



further team members are:
https://www.linkedin.com/in/seifshieshakly/

https://www.linkedin.com/in/jasperhellmann/
"Jasper Hellmann: a serial entrepreneur and founder of several eCommerce companies.
His expertise is in the field of social media marketing. Hellmann founded an eCommerce
company in 2016 and scaled it up to 30m euros in revenue within 12 months."
-> he has been with the company for 3 months now

https://www.linkedin.com/in/eminmahrt/

https://www.linkedin.com/in/kay-bucksch-10470198/
He has been with the company for 6 months according to his LinkedIn profile, since June 2017.


https://www.linkedin.com/in/nikita-fuchs-19286213/
He has been with the company since October 2017, that is 6 weeks now.

https://www.linkedin.com/in/jan-ole-malchow-67368a107/
He also has been with the company since October 2017.

https://www.linkedin.com/in/moritz-strube/
Has been advisor since November 2017, that is 12 days for now.



In my opinion it seems strange that the information in the whitepaper doesn't always match the information on the homepage.

Furthermore, twice, there is clearly wrong information in the whitepaper/on the homepage concerning the experience of two of the team members, suggesting they have more experience than they state on their LinkedIn profiles.

I have made screeshots of all the profiles on LinkedIn just to be able to provide them in case should the information on the profiles be changed after this post.

It is not a shame not to have 10 or 20 years of experience, so what is the reason for them not to state what is correct?

Some of the team members furthermore have been with Envion only for a few months or even weeks.

All in all, this is what I have found. I wanted to share it with you guys in case anyone considers investing. Feel free to draw your own conclusions and do your own research.

Cheers



Good job mate.

This is a super big red flag!

But for example Quickseller (escrowing to himself with alts) and Bobsurplus (known for altcoin pump&dumps with several connections to scams/scammer) are quite questionable/shady members on your trust list.

Mea culpae.

You're using the feedback system as intended, but this isn't really an issue with anything you are doing, but (arguably) others just buying things merely for the default trust feedback (which like it or not people obviously want  to help make them look more trusted/established) for whatever reason, hence why some people are likely just buying things they very probably don't need, want or use.

On that front, save 1 person, the preference has been for my 3letter1number.com domain over my 13letter.com - which makes sense, as I'm not sure how many 3letter.com (did I forget about any 2letters?) email services are still alive other than Cox & AOL. ICQ, MSN (now Live.com, spammer/scammer central)?

Nope. My problem is when someone does a trade, just for that number. That number holds a disgusting amount of weight around here. And it just ends up with people looking for others who can give it to them easily.

Basically people looking for another CanaryInTheMine.

I've either forgotten or wasn't fully briefed on CITM. Are the feedback instructions the same now as they were back then? Was CITM putting down risked BTC to add undeserved weight to those who sent first/before contracts were in force?

If I recall correctly CITM was leaving feedback for anyone who did a trade with him then adding them to his trust list so he was artificially inflating his own score and people would then be only trading with him for the inevitable feedback and the inclusion onto default trust (thus essentially just buying their way onto it).

Ok, well for what it's worth, my depth is 2 & this is my list:
Code:
~theymos
~Luke-Jr
dooglus
~grue
gmaxwell
~piuk
Tomatocage
~BadBear
~GlooBoy
~Bicknellski
~Wardrick
~Xialla
Mitchell
~cornfeedhobo
~yogg
~BitWhale
~bitcoinlitcoinbtcltc
~Bobsurplus
~fruito
~n3rvi0zz0
~Quickseller
~Graven
~BitcoinDistributor
~adzino
~GiovanniDiCosimo
~bitswapp
~valduz10

You take it a bit too offensive - that was not my intention.
I just believe that DT members have the responsibility to act as an example in view of how the trust system is actually used and working in reality.

And the reality is that shady people and scammers are farming not only accounts but also trust and people like you (even though you just follow the rules correctly) make it way easier for them to obtain just that.

It might be the case here that i'm wrong because i didnt check your trust list - i will do that by time - so i will of course apologize if i'm wrong.

But for example Quickseller (escrowing to himself with alts) and Bobsurplus (known for altcoin pump&dumps with several connections to scams/scammer) are quite questionable/shady members on your trust list.

Project looks nice, who are the team members and where are they located ?  Smiley
Core members are located here at the Poznan University of Technology in Poland; I'm the project manager. Other than that, we've been working closly with members of the Botan crypto-library development team. There are also people taking care of the website and we've got already nominated the reddit forum administrator (who by the way has an extensive and I would say - my personal opinion, outstanding experience administrating and managing other cryptocurrency forums and communities.  I've actually arrived begging for the guy to join my team . (You might have a feeling the rest of the team hides behind my back and you are right).

Names please so we can check.

Right now big red flag.
They don't wanna come out. You might wanna use google maps; the university really exists and the whitepapers and technology are real they've been also revied by real people. or do you wanna review on your own. Please do feel most welcome.

But what the hell, that's how the university looks like https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yIgL0rkZ1eg

and these two movie clips were made by me on my last trip to IEEE SmartGriComm 2017:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9H8l2ou7xkc You can actually see me in the mirror taking a selfie;)  (there's also a 5-star hotel toilet). Enjoy.


WTF?

Academics who publish papers and their college but not their names? Are you fucking kidding me? 20 iq much?


/edit

@Gridnet showed me that he has access to the college webservers and agreed to have a phone call with me tommorow - for that reason i will remove the scam accusation for now and if tommorows call will prove that he says the truth i will of course apologise.

Here we go again with the fucktarded debate about trust because people just look at useless colored/formatted numbers & are too lazy or stupid to click a hyperlink called Trust:, then read text and the numbers that actually matter:

What is the purpose with entering "Risked BTC amount"? To weight the rating, whether positive, negative, or neutral. What "Risked BTC amount"/weight did I place on the "or had a successful trade" positives for email forwarding? That's right, zero, zilch, zip, nil, nought, nothing, nix, diddly-squat, BECAUSE THEY SENT FIRST - no BTC or theft of services was risked on my end, because their contracts only came into force as soon as they paid & I saw at least 1 confirm.

When I do fill the "Risked BTC amount" involving a contract, it's because it was already in force, and the person either deserved the weight of +/- trust for breaking or not breaking contract, or a neutral if the trade was successful in less than every sense of the word.

Would you prefer dishonesty; not categorizing successful trades as successful trades, as the feedback page instructs us all to do?

You should definitely know that people only look at colors and usually dont check the trustpage.

It is fine to report a successful trade whatever the size/value but you could just give neutral trust in case of i.e. email and sms forwarding. Roll Eyes

You should know how much DT is worth for scams because people always fall for it. Since 2009.

Does achieving a degree means that you have become a civilized and educated human being? I don't think so. Getting knowledge won't make you an educated person. The most common example of illiteracy by educated people is when there is littering iin educational institutes and illiterate people are hired to clean the mess. cramming your course books won't bring wisdom, it will only bring knowledge without enlightenment.

Look in the mirror. You could have a ph.d.(tbh i doubt that very much) and still be the same 3rd world idiot.

I.e. egypt college graduates have an avg iq of around 90.

This project has a very large potential and will outperform the mining farms but since it's the first of it's kind, we must expect the worst problems that will arise while operating since we never saw them in the past and the dev and his team needs to be prepared for the worst and must have their contingency plans to address the problems that will arise.

Just quoting to give all the heroes who pump the scam negative trust rating later Smiley

Yes OP.

There was one moment in the past where people would get dt 2 for trading 5$.....

I really do think that to give green trust you need a serious reason (scam buster over a long duration) or a significant trade (trade value worth more then x $ ; i.e. for me it would beginn probably at 1000++ $ ).

Everything else is just making money. And DT people do exploit it even though it is not always very obvious - come on green trust for a email forwarding service? This is pretty bullshit...
Someone should put that guy off the DT please.
