What do you think of tokens that did not update their Bitcointalk thread

[wxxyrqa]

Many such projects have turned scam as if they keep updating their bitcointalk thread as if they can be regular on bitcointalk during the ICO/IEO and bounty programs and can earn enough money for the project, they should spare sometime to keep their thread active as well. I don't even think such projects are genuine who postpone their ICO blaming the market. They expect investors to wait till they relaunch themselves which is highly suspicious.

Today, even those projects that in the past years reached hardcap during tokensale are in a very poor condition.  I do not know who to blame for this, a non-professional team or a bad cryptocurrency market, but the fact remains.

Do you mean when the project already end and they don't give any updates on the Bitcointalk thread? I think that it is normal, isn't it? Commonly, they will not give updates on the thread, sometimes, they will lock the thread. They prefer to choose giving updates through the telegram channel or even their social media.

• Having an announcement thread adds value to the project.
• Active conversation in the thread makes the project much
  more trustworthy than the common projects.
• Tokens that doesn't have an announcement thread will be
  easily tagged as a scam projects.
• Some projects after success leaves the thread and gives
  only the periodic updates.
• These days most of the projects keep in contact with the
  investors through Telegram channels.

Yes, right. because most of the projects is smellsof fraudulent, their goal is only to get the attention of investors. they don't care much about information that is profitable for prize hunters, they only care about how to find as many investors as they want.

That is the question, is this really a good project, if this is a good project, it will renew the thread at least once a week, if we have participated in 2 weeks whether the thread has been renewed or not, if not, leave

Not giving updates on bitcointalk thread, I don't think that's too much of a problem, I think they can still provide updates in other places like telegram or other social media, the most important thing is they are active

Not all of good projects are always actively maintain its BTT thread and you can see that ethereum is not even maintaining its ANN thread. Some platforms have not enough time to watch or see all of the place to communicate with the community.
As long as the dev can give a sense reason about that and it's not a big problem.

If these projects are genuine they should update their announcement thread here on bitcointalk to give an update to crypto community especially to those who invest. Locking the thread or not not giving an update seems fishy that this particular project has something going on.

If there's a progress they must let the people know about it not only in their social media accounts but also here. Because this is the popular site for crypto users to gain information to the project that they are following.

I don't have any thought about that, negative or positive.

Right now projects moved to telegram instead of bitcointalk forum so they tend to become active on there.

but still , they should have put any announcement or warning on thier official thread here on bitcointalk before they'v decide to move on telegram , that is to give awareness to thier supporters so that they wont be mistaken as fraud or scam   . your right that more and more ico projects are more active on telegram than on this forum or any other websites is because telegram is instant . we can recieve and send queries  easily  with real time notifications  .

If they stop updating their project it means that either it is a scam or the project fails and not going anywhere. Some admins in telegram usually same the same thing over and over and make it looks like they are hiding something about the project.

[leader2704]

I've participated in so many bounty campaigns and invested on some tokens coming from ICO, but I notice that so many of these projects are not or stopped updating their Bitcointalk announcement thread but they are so active in their telegram channel.

Do you think this is good for a project in general, let's admit it, Bitcointalk topics always shows up in search engine like Google while on telegram you have to scroll a lot or wait for an answer and they are missing up some potential investors who first look on Bitcointalk for project that they want to invest in..

I think those are just simply a money grab project

[Ararbermas]

Just join on thier telegram group if you want to become updated on it.    infact all project within this forum always provide telegram room where participants and dev can communicate about the project.  So visit again om their thread and look for the telegram option ti don't miss some information.

[yazher]

Most of the ICO that no longer update their ANN thread are no longer need them cause they got what they need when they gathered most of the investors on their telegram group.

But Updating their thread here can't be done unless they hire someone that manually post every development they made on their project. because this forum needs to have a person to manage your thread too if you don't want it to bury in the deep pages by just a matter of days.

[shiming]

It seems that the telegraph group is slowly starting to communicate now. The telegraph exchange is very convenient now, but there are still some projects that will post in this forum. We will visit the post for discussion. This follows the user's personal preferences.

From what I know, the developer team sometimes does not handle threads on bitcointalk. In fact, sometimes, customer support in the telegram group is not part of the core team but only the people hired to respond to complaints or questions from investors

If this project is honest and has an active team, they should care about the reputation of the project, they will make their ANN thread active by posting new updates about the project and respond to questions and investors' concerns not only in their ANN but also in all the social media sites of the project, If there is no new updates about the project on their ANN and their channel on Telegram is active, This may indicate that the team is lazy and does not have enough experience or time, or that there is no marketing officer of their own, or that the project is a scam, You must ask them on their channel because of this default and if they blocked you, you should know that they have collected investors' money and they will close their accounts and will make their platforms dead so as not to make a fuss and be forgotten by people.

[aprilnot]

there are many reasons why they don't share updates on ANN threads. actually we can find out to their blogs, groups or social media accounts. without having to fixate on ANN thread. I guess this is normal because maybe they don't have time for that. as long as the project is active I think it's okay not to update thead

[thiscomm]

I think that's the best step to make a project feel safe. it is possible that if a project is leaked to a search engine, it will be easy for hackers to do damage to funds from investors. indeed it would be nice for us to follow their telegram channels and ask the admin for us to be able to invest in their programs.

How come you don’t consider this as a red flag, that they’re choosing to ignore an active community here and posting it on an app with limited audience. It could be quiet possible that they’re doing shady things that the community knows, and hence they have stopped updating here. In my personal opinion if they’re not communicating here once in a while, I would recommend not to buy their tokens.
