Everyone should understand the positive and negative sides of an ICO. With so many ICOs happening, it’s good to know which ones have potential, but it’s even more important to know whether investing in this space even makes sense. In many ways the current wave of ICOs (Initial Currency Offerings) looks a lot like the heady days of stock IPOs in the late ’90s. The potential return was so enticing that euphoria overtook common sense in many ways. Today we would like to address 5 key factors on whether the ICO that you would like to invest in is good or not.
It’s great to have a whitepaper and detail out a project, but how detailed has the team really thought through their own project?
Short Whitepaper? No Details? Avoid! The whitepaper contains all of the core information you should need to know about the coin. Once you’ve done that, go to forums to read about some of the holes that may exist within those Whitepapers. See if the developers are actively addressing the concerns or simply ignoring them. The more information available, the greater the debate, and the more transparent a team is about their tech, the better it is for the investor.
No Development Roadmap? Avoid! What is the team’s development and marketing road map? Does it make sense? Is the time frame reasonable? Has the team already proven it can stay on top of its own development schedule from before the ICO? I am wary of any project that doesn’t have a detailed road map and so should you be.
Does the team have real experience in the space they are attempting to coinify? If so, how much experience? What about relationships to industry veterans who can elevate the project further? Ultimately our investment is betting on the people behind the coin, not the coin itself. Our investment is a vote of confidence that the team can pull off the incredible feat they have set their sights on.
Are they full time? The worst thing is to have a part time staff. This means the project isn’t their primary focus and it can mean the project may go slow or, even, no where. We want a full time team dedicated to fleshing out the vision.
How many years of experience do they have? Nothing wrong with the young diving into a killer project, but do they have support from a more experienced team? If not, then navigating the unknown could prove harder than initially anticipated. Nothing stays rosy for long. Having veteran team members can help to brave through turbulent times, which are guaranteed to happen.
Do they have every aspect covered? Architecture? Development? Scale? Business Development? Marketing? A team only comprised of technology developers can also prove to be a poor choice for investment. It’s important to have a balanced team, one that can also get the word out, and build relationships to accelerate growth.
At the same time if a project only has a single developer, it’s a single point of failure. If anything happens to that one person, the entire project can head into a downward spiral. Redundancies are required to ensure that no single person can make or break the project.
How many projects are now raising over $50M or $150M in a single go? Is that a good thing? Depends, but generally speaking, not really. A small team developing a disruptive technology probably needs money in the low millions to begin with, in order to prove their case. From there they should raise further capital once there is a real use case and growth in user-base.
The idea of a paper company raising over $100M should have any investor question on why do they need so much resources? And the answer should have a solid breakdown of where funds will go. Specifying that X% will go to founders and early investors and the rest to the crypto community of investors says nothing. We want to know what will be going into hiring and what would the runway be for those funds. Real planning beyond just the tech is incredibly important.
Keep in mind that this is not a regulated space. We’re in the wild wild west territory so anything put into an ICO should be considered thrown away for all intents and purposes. That is not to say the ICO can’t be successful and the coin can’t thrive, but the risks are high. So consider the facts and only put in what you can afford to lose.

Sooooo I posted to here weeks back to try and help out, but instead of earning some props, I carelessly get my account banned INSTEAD of the person I reported for plagiarizing one of my posts... Thanks all!
And for an added cherry on top, 2+ weeks and still no reply back from the email plastered above my account I was told to send a message to in order to dispute the ban.

What account of yours got banned, and why are you apparently evading the ban? That will earn yourself a permaban if that wasn't originally what you got anyway. I've been discovering tons of copy/pasters lately, but it's too much of a pain in the ass to list them all in this thread. I'm just reporting them and tagging their trust feedback as insurance against the possibility of them not getting banned. I swear these people in the Altcoin Discussion section just read Coindesk articles and use some of the article titles as thread titles, and then all these plagiarists just copy/paste content from the article. It's mind-blowing how much of it is going on, especially in the altcoin section.

If you haven't done that, you might want to. There's nothing to cite with that was said... It's a random thought pulled out of my brain. I had expressed a thought in response to what someone said, then weeks later some random person or bot copy/pasted my exact thought onto the same forum (ITNS coin). I take notice of this, post a message pointing it out, then another person on the ITNS forum tells me I should post about the experience over here since you guys handle that stuff... So I post here about it, and then I get banned. Like I said, I'm not the person plagiarizing or in need of defending my actions As for the Meta, I really don't have a clue on it even existing, so I'll have to look around. All I know is the account that's now banned has in big red letters when logging in: "Sorry Crate Mayne, you are banned from posting or sending personal messages on this forum. You have been banned by a forum moderator. You may appeal here: banappeals-w6pquw43@theymos.e4ward.com" So I emailed that crazy address, and proceeded to get squat back after weeks. Are you a mod/admin here, or just happened to notice my post and reply?

No, just a concerned citizen. However, what I'm telling you is that if you post a ban appeal in Meta, you'll attract attention from moderators. I don't know what kind of ban you got. Whether it's temporary or permanent depends on the offense, and that's a question for a mod. It would be useful to know what kind of message you got that alerted you to the ban. I do believe if it's temporary the message should tell you how long it's for. Normally I don't even try to help people who got banned, since they're all shitposters, but you don't fit that mold.

Ah got'cha, well I appreciate the tip about the Meta section. Will have to give it a whirl to see if it garners better results. Yeah I never received any messages regarding the ban (by email or messages sent through btctalk), just logged in one day to find the big red text (mentioned last post) displayed across the top of every page after logging into the banned account. Figured with it happening so shortly after posting here the two events must be related, and I'm left picking up the pieces for someone else's mistake. And if not, I'd love to hear what crazy rule I somehow broke through the course of normal comments being posted ha. Anyways, thanks for the tip of where to post!

adding one plagiarism COPY~Snip~ 2. Do work for Bitcoins If mining is not for you, you can search for work that you can do for Bitcoins. There are multiple services that will offer one an opportunity to work for cryptocurrency. You can find something at Coinality or by just going to /r/Jobs4Bitcoins on Reddit. Currently, you can earn Bitcoins online as a freelancer mainly, but some Bitcoin startups and companies like Overstock offer an option to get the regular payment in BTC. With greater acceptance, there will be more options to look for. ~Snip~

Iran has exported $2.5 billion for cryptocurrency,At the time of writing Earthcoin Price:¥0.006593
Iran has exported $2.5 billion for cryptocurrency
According to Bitcoin.com, Mohammad Reza Pourebrahimi, chairman of the Iranian parliament’s economic committee, revealed that Iran has already flowed out of US$2.5 billion to purchase cryptocurrencies. He believes that one of the benefits of cryptocurrency is the “absence of US regulators” that can circumvent sanctions. At present, Iran does not design national virtual currency, but the national virtual currency helps promote economic transactions and circumvent sanctions.
At the time of writing Earthcoin Price: ¥0.006593
Copy paste stuff in parts from https://news.bitcoin.com/billion-iran-purchase-cryptocurrencieshe Indian Central Bank set up a special panel to explore its own digital currency According to the livemint report, the Reserve Bank of India has taken measures to curb the trade between cryptocurrencies and the rupee, and set up a dedicated group to explore the possession of its own digital currency. EarthCoin Indian & Indonesian Community was established in http://www.earthcoin.in/ , welcome to join! The price of the coins when they were sent: ¥0.007003 http://earthcoin.earth/374/Again copy paste stuff from : https://www.livemint.com/Money/IvMjNCzwnDzv2EXToFk2mI/Should-RBI-have-own-digital-currency.htmlSeems like all of this is for Earthcoin promotion. If I am not mistaken this is the same project that was involved in the Atriz case..
I tagged this user a while ago. Request Network: The Request Network is an Ethereum-based, decentralized payment system in which anyone can request a payment and receive money in a secure way. It removes the need for trusted third-parties to provide a cheaper and more secure payment solution that works with all global currencies. Y Combinator has decided to support Request Network as well. It is we can say strong decentralized competitor of PayPal.
WABI: Walimai, creator of WaBi, is a company that develops solutions to ensure product authenticity. It places secure anti-counterfeit labels on consumer products in China and internationally. Walimai’s operations are mainly in China, which suffers from counterfeit in products such as baby formula, cosmetics, and alcohol. In order to solve this problem and provide confidence for consumers, the company has developed RFID labels with anti-reuse design, as well as mobile Apps that integrate with the labels.
KEY: THEKEY Project is developing a second-generation IDV solution for the internet via BDMI-Blockchain based Dynamic Multi-Dimension Identification technology. THEKEY is a dapp on NEO, and it’s also an indispensable element of NEO Smart Economy. With NEO technical support, THEKEY and NEO will provide better protection to your digital asset. Pilot program has been successfully implemented in few cities. Their partnership makes them strong.
POLY: Polymath a system to facilitate the primary issuance and secondary trading of blockchain securities tokens. Polymath uses a blockchain-based system to coordinate and incentivize participants to collaborate and launch financial products on the blockchain. It Allows issuance of new security tokens by matching issuers with developers, who can translate their Security Offering parameters into secure code that generates ERC20 compatible tokens.
Another plagiarized post, I am sure your posting history is full of this shit. Because of THIS copy paste work and what you did here : WebArchiveI am tagging and reporting you (again).

Case #1Name: FaithggArchived1.COINCHECK It is evident the main focus of Coincheck lies on Bitcoin lending. However, the platform also supports additional currencies, including Monero, Factom, Augur, Ether, and XRP. All loans will be refunded together with the usage fee when the loan period ends. It is not possible to exchange currencies by lending them, which is only normal. No lending platform supports that functionality at this time. 2. BITFINEX This feature effectively allows users to provide funding in the form of multiple currencies to Bitfinex traders. Users can determine their own return rate, duration, and amount, as is the case with any of these three platforms. It is rather interesting to note Bitfinex users can lend money in fiat currency as well. Most platforms only support cryptocurrency, yet this exchange is quite different. It is possible to borrow USD as well, which is quite interesting. It is unclear how popular lending is on Bitfinex right now ever since the platform got hacked last year, though. Then again, it is an option well worth considering for everyone who wants to explore lending options in the world of cryptocurrency. 3. POLONIEX No one will be surprised to learn most of the cryptocurrency-oriented lending is taking place on Poloniex right now. The company has been a great source of lending services over the past few years. Poloniex also supports a wide range of currencies, which certainly helps to move things along. Right now, the platform supports currencies including Bitcoin, Ether, Doge, Dash, Litecoin, and others. There is no fiat currency lending on Poloniex, though, but that is not necessarily a bad thing.

Source (copied from here). Case #3Name: BriannassArchivedin my oppinion, COINCHECK is very good. Coincheck introduced cryptocurrency lending quite some time ago, and they recently improved the service even further. As of right now, lenders will earn a maximum interest rate of 5%, which is quite generous. It is evident the main focus of Coincheck lies on Bitcoin lending. However, the platform also supports additional currencies, including Monero, Factom, Augur, Ether, and XRP.
Source (copied from here). Case #4Name: Edsel_MillerArchivedI want to say BITFINEX. It is rather interesting to note Bitfinex users can lend money in fiat currency as well. Most platforms only support cryptocurrency, yet this exchange is quite different. It is possible to borrow USD as well, which is quite interesting. It is unclear how popular lending is on Bitfinex right now ever since the platform got hacked last year, though.

Source (copied from here). Case #5Name: valeria isaArchivedLike a patient-doctor relationship, trust is earned and comes with experience and age. These guys have been around for sometimes and this being their 4th year, they have extended their Bitcoin lending services to more than 170 countries. Radoslav Albrecht is the brains behind it. BitBond define themselves as a social peer-to-peer lending platform where small businesses can get fast and cheap loans. Borrowers simply have to create an account and enjoy low interest rates ranging from 0.5% and 3.0%.
Source (copied from here). Case #6Name: jack ryanArchivedBitConnect Now this Bitcoin lending platform is what the internet is buzzing about. Fact is, there are two ways you can earn money when you lend out your Bitcoins to BitConnect. Of course you have to register first but no need to sweat, it’s free.
Source (copied from here). Case #7Name: luke liamArchivedFirst off, BTCPOP is global and operates in more than 60 countries. If you are a small business looking for loans, then you will feel right at home with BTCPOP. Not only do they have a vibrant community of investors pooling their BTC, the platform makes BTC security their top priority.
Source (copied from here). Case #8Name: kante coloArchivedBitBond and similar platforms are the plainest forms of lending. They are the cryptocurrency version of peer-to-peer online lending. The loans reach the persons directly, and creditors have the chance to look through profiles and ratings. Strangely, the BitBond loans mostly sought cash, and there were limited opportunities to lend Bitcoin. But the principle remains- loan duration and personal risk are up to your discretion and the probability of default is high.
Source (copied from here). Case #9Name: HaleytyrArchivedBitConnect is a platform that uses its BitConnect tokens for loans. You can buy the tokens with Bitcoin, and the rewards come in the native BitConnect token.
Source (copied from here). Case #10Name: ShanleyArchivedEigencoin: It has many unique features that make it more accessible than other lending platforms, including a full coin ecosystem, a bi-annual buyback program, an ad-revenue redistribution program, and early lending-investment withdrawal.
Source (copied from here). Case #11Name: gao blueArchivedBTCjam is an awesome Bitcoin lending and borrowing platform especially if you are not a US resident. Of course depending on jurisdiction, different rules apply. Checking on the metrics, lending your BTC on this site appears to be lucrative.
Source (copied from here). Case #12Name: brianna isaArchivedI’ve been using Bitconnect and having great results. Bitconnect is where you can profit by lending bitcoin to its trading bot. It it is able to trade on the volatility of bitcoin and gives you a daily interest and at the end of the loan period you get your whole capital back. Bitcoin Lending is a great long term strategy.
Source (copied from here). Case #13Name: imanassholeArchivedI would recommend you Bitfinex. Bitfinex is a Hong Kong-based cryptocurrency exchange that is specialized for trading. They also offer margin lending of USD and cryptocurrency to traders employing leverage. This allows lenders the ability to earn interest on funds left on the website. BFXdata allows potential lenders to plot interest over time and calculate potential returns.
Source (copied from here). Case #14Name: elyfia0203- Take note: This user was previously reported " on this post" (for another post) but since he/she is still lurking around, I included him/her as well. ArchivedI use these two for 3 years already and never had problems. Beside Bitcoins you can lend altcoins too and the more trading volume the coin gets the higher the rate: Bitfinex: Poloniex

In many ways the current wave of ICOs (Initial Currency Offerings) looks a lot like the heady days of stock IPOs in the late ’90s.

No Development Roadmap? Avoid! What is the team’s development and marketing road map? Does it make sense? Is the time frame reasonable? Has the team already proven it can stay on top of its own development schedule from before the ICO? I am wary of any project that doesn’t have a detailed road map and so should you be.
Does the team have real experience in the space they are attempting to coinify? If so, how much experience? What about relationships to industry veterans who can elevate the project further? Ultimately our investment is betting on the people behind the coin, not the coin itself. Our investment is a vote of confidence that the team can pull off the incredible feat they have set their sights on.
Are they full time? The worst thing is to have a part time staff. This means the project isn’t their primary focus and it can mean the project may go slow or, even, no where. We want a full time team dedicated to fleshing out the vision.
How many years of experience do they have? Nothing wrong with the young diving into a killer project, but do they have support from a more experienced team? If not, then navigating the unknown could prove harder than initially anticipated. Nothing stays rosy for long. Having veteran team members can help to brave through turbulent times, which are guaranteed to happen.
Do they have every aspect covered? Architecture? Development? Scale? Business Development? Marketing? A team only comprised of technology developers can also prove to be a poor choice for investment. It’s important to have a balanced team, one that can also get the word out, and build relationships to accelerate growth.
At the same time if a project only has a single developer, it’s a single point of failure. If anything happens to that one person, the entire project can head into a downward spiral. Redundancies are required to ensure that no single person can make or break the project.
How many projects are now raising over $50M or $150M in a single go? Is that a good thing? Depends, but generally speaking, not really. A small team developing a disruptive technology probably needs money in the low millions to begin with, in order to prove their case. From there they should raise further capital once there is a real use case and growth in user-base.
The idea of a paper company raising over $100M should have any investor question on why do they need so much resources? And the answer should have a solid breakdown of where funds will go. Specifying that X% will go to founders and early investors and the rest to the crypto community of investors says nothing. We want to know what will be going into hiring and what would the runway be for those funds. Real planning beyond just the tech is incredibly important.
Keep in mind that this is not a regulated space. We’re in the wild wild west territory so anything put into an ICO should be considered thrown away for all intents and purposes. That is not to say the ICO can’t be successful and the coin can’t thrive, but the risks are high. So consider the facts and only put in what you can afford to lose.
If you found this article interesting please continue reading here This is interesting plagiarism because OP copied his article from medium which turns out to be plagiarism. Original article: https://www.adesanmivictor.com/the-beginners-guide-to-initial-coin-offering/Written by: https://i.imgur.com/gFVcj3y.pngWhile MartynasB is part of marginless team: https://i.imgur.com/Y9Dv7gD.png

So every time the question arises, how do they get qualified with this copy mentality?

Is it just me or the other thread (by "LoyceV") is getting more attention (from "moderators")? - Based on recent banned accounts (from user reports). I created a " thread", to ask if these two threads can be merged into one but I have a feeling, it won't happen (unfortunately).

@mdayonliner don't be lazy ![Wink](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/wink.gif) What have I done mate? ![Roll Eyes](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/rolleyes.gif) Can you help me with some lights? ![Grin](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/grin.gif) No clue yet. I just searched with my username and seeing all these conversations where I was mentioned by members. Another one is here. That was an innocent mistake and I understood that.

Be happy be at peace. Looking forward to BTC at $1M

Username: Tolik18101988Copy post:Hello guys, I see that many traders are afraid of risk, and they always want a guaranteed profit, but unfortunately, this gain is always a little in value. And in many threads, they always ask about "how to make a safe method in trading".
For me, the risk is essential in every field ( especially in trading) to win a lot of money. Furthermore, when you are afraid, then you will never achieve what you want. Many businessmen/women (billionaires) and successful traders become rich because they take risks.

Not sure why the above two posters, chose this topic to plagiarize! ![Shocked](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/shocked.gif)
Name: ddurrelCopy ( archived): This has little to do with "courtesy," and using that term trivializes the offense of plagiarism. It makes it sound like, "Oops, I'm sorry, I meant to give you credit. I'll be sure to mention you next time." That might be something friends or colleagues do in casual conversation in settings where everyone knows and works closely with each other, but the moment you present it as your work either in written, spoken, or published form, it's no longer about courtesy.
Name: m4ckinawCopy ( archived): While I can't speak for everyone who's done it, it's not hard at all to guess as to why people would do it: Laziness (it's a lot easier to just take what somebody else said rather than do your own work), ignorance (often people really don't seem to understand that there's a moral/ethical and academic integrity problem in doing this), or intentional deception (they like the answer or particular wording that somebody else gave and want people to think it was theirs). Often it's more than one of these reasons in combination.

No, plagiarism is taking someone else's work and passing it off as your own.

As to the specific mode/method you named (of copying & pasting), that's simple: Technology makes it quick and easy, especially if any of those reasons are in play.
