Spot on, this idea I was thinking about. I'm just not sure what kind of metrics to use
How can you definitely identify scam and use same metrics for every project you are going to list?
--snip--
I mean, looking from the financial point of view: "brand" has been promoted already to some extent by CMC, domain exactly matches the "brand". Surely, it will be something fun, not an ICO
i just need an idea and may be someone willing to take part.
I'm just brainstorming/spitballing ideas here, but maybe you can use it as some kind of site to provide information about fake ico's, scams, joke projects,... Since toiletpapertokes was, in fact, a joke, using your site for such purposes might be fine.
If you keep on adding useful content and build some loyal traffic, you might even publicize some clean, fact-checked ads to monetize your traffic.
If you really wanna develop this domain into something useful to other crypto users, that would be best.
Just some few pointers here to consider :
1 - team members - anonymous or not
if they publish photos and profiles - check if legit or fake
2 - company registration/license - authentic or not
3 - whitepaper - plagiarized or not
4 - roadmap - generic (high chance that the project is short term)? comprehensive/detailed? doable?
5 - ICO/IEO - how much they are targetting (soft cap/hard cap), in what exchange (scam exchange or reputable one)
6 - project's objectives - unique or just a copy-paste from other projects
7 - website - secure or not secure?
8 - social media channels - presence of bots or shillers or spammers?
