"Anonymity for project creators and team members:  these days, cryptocurrencies are no longer the pariah of the financial industry and creators of new coins should be bold enough to stand behind their work. If you can’t find any meaningful information on the creators or core team members, you should think twice before you buy."

Github activity and sense of constant growth: "Teams working on cryptocurrencies typically have a GitHub presence for their project, at the very least; their programmer will have a GitHub presence. GitHub is home to more than 20 million developers who work together to review code and manage projects. Any cryptocurrency that can’t show meaningful Github activity is most likely working on copied code (sometimes stolen code) and you’ll most likely be investing in their shiny website and emotive sales copy...Github activity is a decent measure of legitimacy."

1. Poor Online Presence:  "One of the essential elements to consider when assessing a potential scam is the individuals behind it. A robust initial coin offering will present potential investors with a detailed team breakdown, listing founders, developers, advisors, security experts, and anybody else associated with the project."

4. Empty GitHub Repositories: "An empty code repository is a telltale sign...Most ICOs propose open-source solutions that make it possible for potential investors to assess their code via a repository link like GitHub.  If your ICO links through to an empty repository, then it’s more than likely fraudulent.  By providing links to their code repositories, ICOs allow individuals with programming knowledge to audit their development process and determine whether the proposed solution is valid or not. Checking that the underlying technology that drives a blockchain solution is well-organized and functional is critical when assessing initial coin offerings."

5. No White Paper, Bad White Papers, or Blatantly Plagiarized White Papers:  "A white paper is the most important element of any initial coin offering. In a white paper, an ICO will present an outline of what it plans to achieve, a breakdown of how the technical aspects of the platform function, and delineate its token distribution model. If an ICO doesn’t provide a white paper, then it’s undoubtedly a scam."

Argo is shady shady shady to the max.  But nothing to worry about right guys?    Raty's deep investigation...lets trust that there's a good reason why the team is hiding everything, making things suspicious resembling a scam and not doing any visible work on the code in 4 months

The roadmap seems pretty fake to me.  It says White Paper 2.0 for Q3-4 but no white paper 1.0 anywhere??  They said Feb 28 whitepaper would be done, but now they don't say anything.  And Mobile Wallets is on the roadmap for 2019 -- so why are they saying they are working on mobile wallets now  but not working on the project itself??     There's 240 masternode projects listed on https://masternodes.online/ , and to be honest, most are fake and not real either (no one is actually working on them).  Emperor coin, Ipsum, DemosPay, Blazarium, ITIS. Network, DynamoPay, Almex, Eliqua, NYXCoin, GuardianCoin, Frozen, Slash, SmartQuorum and many other coins promise a 4600% return on investment! (ROI) lol.   Same formula as Argo: (Step 1) copy dash code, (Step 2) buy Masternode.online listing, (Step 3) sell masternodes on auction, make 18 BTC.  Then (Step 4) laugh at the suckers and go on vacation.  All these projects are no worse than Argo.  Fake scam projects, no one is actually working hard on the project.

I am almost positive the Argo developers are also working on some of these other projects.  They're working hard and are busy, but NOT busy working on Argo -- they're busy making many many more scam masternode projects.  Collect $150,000 in auction, repeat the process over and over again.

This is what I mean by scam.  240 masternode projects doing the same thing as Argo.  Grab money, do no work.  After ROI goes down, no demand so people move on.  People will buy the next masternode that has higher profit, and developers don't do any work so of course the coin's value will not go up.

Could also be a shared masternode hosting service which pays it's users regular ..?
