Looks like a scam.

The whitepaper is almost empty. According to it, the website will apparently be educating new users about crypto and who knows what the coin will be for.

This is also fun. The linked in profile of the first team member:

Rob McNealy
Robert L. McNealy has 12 years of experience in the flooring industry, as a contractor, certified inspector, walkway auditor, and expert witness. He has inspection training in hardwood, laminate and resilient flooring, as well as substrates and subfloors. As a contractor, he has direct experience with the installation of all major types of floor coverings in both residential and commercial settings. With a Master of Business Administration degree, and experience in government contracting, Mr. McNealy is well versed in contract and scope of work analysis. His experience with architectural and interior design planning has honed his ability to properly specify floor coverings for different applications, and his background in site and floor safety has guided his passion for creating for safer walkways.


The experience from the flooring industry might come handy for crypto, right?

How can a smart contract free airdrop be a scam? Here's the links to the airdrop code:

If you use 0.1 gwei it costs you less than $0.009 (USD)

Most people in crypto come from other places; it's a new industry. I don't know many people in the floor industry with 400,000 plus twitters followers: Twitter.com/robmcnealy

Well, not a scam in the sense that they would take something from you.

Rather a scam that there is implied value when there actually will never be any use, it'll just be like one of these old "chain letters" where you would read a friend "forwarding" a sob story FB post and it ends with "if you know or heard of anyone who got cancer you should forward this". It's just pointless spam and network traffic. I've seen a few of these the last few days.

You will probably not get harmed in any way, you'll just have some spam in your token list  Smiley
