The perfect solution to scam in the crypto space

The rate of scam and hacks in the cryptocurrency market keeps growing at an alarming rate. In my opinion there best solution to these crimes in the cryptocurrency market are

1 ICO regulations: if there is ico regulations then investors should only invest in ICOs that are certified and meets the required standards. This will reduce the scam rates as fake ICOs will not be able to raise money for investors anymore

2 Smart contract Auditing: I think in other for coins and exchanges to avoid hacks and attacks they should constantly audit their smart contracts at regular intervals (like every 2 weeks or every month).  Doing this will help them detect the bugs and loop holes in their smart contracts and correct it before it is used by hackers.

SEC will have that big part of regulating these ICOs because they can maintain the number of incoming ICOs and they can check the legitimacy of the makers.

True because of fact checking of the developers so that they are liable if ever they do something shady.

this can be a solution to all these problems but it will also be very difficult to implement because even though investors know that it is very risky to invest in non-certified ICOs but they cannot ignore the ICO because sometimes what ICO offers is like that very tempting

Who would regulate the ICOs? And why would ICOs follow this regulations. We'd need a global and powerful organization if we really want to regulate ICOs but almost all countries still prefer to act as cryptocurrency doesn't exist.
Smart contract is a good idea and some ICOs did used them but it just prevents the issuer for spending all money at once.

The advice you give me to think it's true. That we need regulation that regulates ICO and audit team on a large scale. This large-scale audit team conducts a review of all ICO projects. So that all ICO projects that are new or are running, can be audited. Audit results can certainly be informed in this forum.

So many messes in the ICO right now and the proof is in the scam sections, it's time we try regulation so we can see if we can reduce the number of scammers, these ICO rating cannot help and the STO is not a guaranty either even the so called IEO let's have a trial for at least 10 ICO and see if we can have a better results

Why not it's time we have a regulation, some of the big concern in ICO are the fake people behind the project, if we have regulation, we can have these people face the monitoring them, and check their background and their platform as well, if they cannot present a well-documented project, they will not let these ICO run.

Nice idea but the question is who will be volunteering to do this auditing instead? Since any site dev wont just willing to volunteer if theres no salary. Maybe there are some but they are at least have donation address button at the bottom of their site but I think its not enough also.

[Hypnosis00]

We all wanting to eliminate scammers and scam project but I don't know if this regulations will stop those things when some of them do an exit scam which we think that it is legit one. Though I believe that it will minimize and control the situation but can't make it into a 100%.
It is our individual detection to a certain project, it's up to us if we still believe and invest those knowing that it is a true scam project.

[Astvile]

Both idea is good but who would manage the icos or who will set the standard for ICOs to be certified as legit and trusted ICO.Government?Bitcoin government?This will work if we will be able to seek for a company who will do regulatory duties on ICOs

[Atang Sulaeman]

a sufficient solution to implement, the problem is that there must be an institution to establish an audit body,
and for the financing to be calculated carefully, whether it is independent or multiple parties.

These are good suggestions but they are all focused on the side of the crypto industry. But I think most of the work needed to be done is on the side of the investors. They need to be properly educated in handling their investments and recognizing the scams from legit investments. If there are fewer investors putting money on obviously scam investments, the lesser scammers are motivated to continue their scams. Scammers will not be totally regulated but if the investors get wiser, they will not be easily fooled by those scammers.

ICO regulation will be a good solution. So only good and trusted ICO that can open their ICO, scam ICO will not able to open their ICO. Also with this regulation investors will be safe investing their money to ICO. I'm sure if this happen both party the ICO owner and investor is win.

The solutions you find are wise, but I do not think it will completely destroy the scam. It will be difficult to confront crimes in the internet. With so many rules in our present lives, there is still crime.

And there will always be, scammers always find new ways, if you close a door, they open another one. The best measure is to educate people, teach them to be careful, the same way you teach them to be careful with phishing links they receive in their emails or through SMS.

The way the blockchain is designed, it would be so difficult to have a body controlling the activities of ICOS, unless this body would be in charge of conducting all ICO themselves like how exchanges now controls the activities of IEO done on their platform, I think the best way to know if an ICO is going to turn out to being a scam is to check out the team behind the project, they will always keep hiding themselves since they know their mission is to scam investors of their hard earned money.

We need to double our protection by not easily click on the links in the receiving email because we don't know if that email safe or not. We can remove the email which we don't know to prevent from the scammers that might steal our data.

Besides that, we need always to make sure that we are not giving away our personal identification easily. I am sure that if we can do the best thing we can, we can prevent the scammers that were still trying to get our money or the data they want. Although they have better skills to enter the information, if we can prevent the worst thing, we will be fine.

ICO regulations may bring some changes to the project introduction but if they turns into scam after the project sale then what will be the result,will the investors get their many from the people who certified that ICO is good to invest? This is decentralization so let the people to decide what they are doing with their own money.

The question is who will regulate the ICO where will they come from and who will regulate the regulators, just check the rating sites, they are corrupt and they have a premium listing for scam ICO, and we all thought they can help us fight scammers.

This is a great question, who will regulate those ICO projects. It is good to hear especially us as investors that ICO's project must be filtered before launching their project. Majority of ICO's project last year was almost exit scam or otherwise, they are not yet listed until now. Maybe listed but not worth it. I hope there's a solution to this.
