Red flag #4 - MoneroTrust is actually mentiomed on official Monero roadmap

But it looks like something different than this MoneroTrust project.

But they actually have a buy button

Answer isn't appropriate in my opinion. Seems they have skip this forum because they have problems with whitepaper and team as well. So we can't get more good answers from them. I hate the name with name of potential coins since it's not a hard fork. So they just want to draw attention from investors by adding another coin name and copied whitepaper.

No one have right copy paste content without permission even name is similar. Name doesn't mean they could make copy paste. So avoid it.....


I would like to encourage make post even an ICO has not listed on this forum, because this post will reflect on Google search.

Sorry, I still bringing them down by asking uncomfortable questions.
 
Definitely, these guys are using a well known names such Monero to easily make their airdrop thingy, sell some coins to naive investors maybe and then disappear. I don't trust plagiators and stealers of content, their actions are always shady, they are always seeking to steal our funds. Avoid!

I will keep posting information about scammy projects even if they're not listed on this forum. I will continue do that because i want them to fear this forum like hell, they'll know they are not welcome here.

They skip the biggest community when all they need is a copper membership so they can display images. If they didn't do that then these are lame ass scammers.

Who cares about the name, that guy has a point all these other big coins are using the bitcoin name (BCH and SV) , it snot like he is doing anything that is out of the ordinary.  I guess monero investors are scared of competition? Makes sense I guess.

It can also be true but why plagiarize?
If he was a XMR investor, he must have profited a lot but still can't hire a writer for its project. It make sense as well that this team will not spend a cent for marketing and so they pick a coin popular enough.

If the creator of this post was honest about himself he should come out and say That he's threatened by Monero Trust.

Let me Quote a famous case of Similar nature.

When nick szabo came up with Bit Gold during cypherpunks era did people say Satoshi nakamoto plagiarized it despite it having almost 70% similarities in white paper?

Don't be daft,if you're not interested in our project pass along. Don't be a bitter hater

[witcher_sense]

I repeat once again, they have nothing besides plagiarized definitions from monero project. This is not appropriate behavior for real and serious crypto project.

This is not about my interests or something like that, this project is a pure nothing, just copy pasta from monero, using well-known names for better attention and deceiving bounty airdrop hunters and naivy investors.

I know this thread is a little old, but I just wanted to make it known that I was banned from their discord server for asking if there was another Windows wallet since the one I downloaded shows several different trojans.  There was no, "Download it again," or "It's a false positive.  Nothing to worry about."  I asked a question then got banned.  That in itself is highly suspicious.  There's also the fact that you have to register on their website to even get any pricing.

Launched "hybrid exchange" dumped as many of their coins as people were willing to trade real crypto for and then went silent if I understand it correctly.
I can't say for certain as I was blocked from their channels for.. being in them?

I'd suggest extreme caution.
