Yea exactly, his team working hard to expose scams. I believe he have saved lots of people's from scammers. He deserve donations. I am wondering to ask SFR10 to create a signature for ICOEthics since he had not joined any paid signature campaign. So people's will find scam ICO's and his address as well. If someone want to donate they can.

To be honest, multiple managers and DT1 also suggest me to open service with a team who are exposing scam ICO actively.  Manager will ask for verify like team, whitpaper and others content before they start any project. Ofcourse they should pay small fee for that. I have also discussed with ICOEthics about it and he is agree for that. But I am not much encourage now due to exit scam. Even team and whitepaper etc is real, who will responsible for exit scam? Eventually people's will blame us, how we are investigate ICO.
However it would be better if send some donations to ICOEthics and his team will more encourage to work. As far as I know he have team with four member to investigate ICO's. We need this kind of member to save people's.

Edit;
I can't find donation address on website. I have asked him to provide.

The lack of fees are exactly why I suggested donations. Fees would technically mean that ICOs could bribe them to write bad reports on rivals. Their work so far has been selfless and deserves a reward imo.

Ty for nice words, however donations? I got only insults and death threat for now .

Anyway, keep going ICOEthics, you are making this forum a better place.

Pretty much agree
IMO seeking and exhibiting scams should remain an essentially voluntary and community activity. A way to thank the forum and its members
This is the beginning of a dangerous path: and why not offer a "Premium+" paid service (some ICOs already offer this type of service in fact, and ask to be paid) ?
What happen in case of exit scam? (it's undetectable, teams can be real, white papers original and projects strong ...)

By remaining volunteer and disinterested members who do scam-hunting only take the risk of being insulted or threatened
But at least there will be no suspicion of conflicts of interest

To be perfectly honest, I even think it's uncomfortable to do scam-hunting on a regular basis with an ICO signature...
Some new members could assume that the project is somehow "validated" by members of the forum who are supposed to be more effective....which is not necessarily the case!

but it's my personal perception, not a criticism

Very true. They're doing a great job.
At first, I thought they must have an agenda or something but no they're clearly doing this just for the good of the community.
Plus they've inspired others to do the same.
Good for them !

Can you ask them to post it here or PM me? It's not that I don't trust you but I prefer to hear the address directly from them .

Hello everyone,

Sorry for the long reply, but we hope this post will explain our views regarding donations.


ICOEthics has been a member of this forum since June of 2018, and we have never asked for donations on this forum! What we do, we do for the community.
But donations are welcome, as we do have expenses. The donation address is the one provided to Coolcryptovator (0x53B9dAEd9FD4B169A2eA5113aa603b3c613d93dB)

We always did FREE work and we will continue to do FREE work for the community.

We have detected around 300 scams and never asked for anything. We are not in this for money or merits (we are sure people in this forum will agree), but here to help identify possible scams. Many of them are completely disrespectful and soulless ( for example; https://bt.irlbtc.com/view/5099131.0 )

We don’t promote anything about ICOEthics website.  We use it mainly to store files that we use on our posts/threads on this forum. We don’t have much time to keep it up or develop since we have our regular jobs as well. We try to update the site once a week or two, or more.  

Our main focus is to find what is fake, which leads to a possible scam and expose them (fake team, plagiarized whitepaper, etc). One of the best sources to expose them is Bitcointalk, of course, and Twitter.

As many of you already know we have been called many bad names, accused of extortion, racism, discrimination, etc. We have also received proposals for bribes, which we always post them on the forum, so we all can laugh together - death threats, virus sent to our email (caught), etc.

So, to make this a short story, this is our concern about asking for donations, and we welcome the community's input: A scammer can make a deposit to our donation address and accuse us that this was a bribe/extortion money, and to avoid all that hassle we have stopped asking for donations on our website.

Finally, many thanks to you, rhomelmabini, for the signature that you created for us!  As far as adding our donation address to the signature, we as a team will consider that.

Removed! - No, we dont have a BTC address yet, but we will provide one soon.

I agree that ICOEthics is a huge asset to this forum. Just the sheer number of reliable scam identifications and relentless tagging without getting into forum politics is the type of values needed on DT1.

The tools listed on the website for investigating scams are also very useful.
