What happened:: EARTHS who claims to give a Universal Basic Income for its participants provided a plagiarized whitepaper on their Github page while at the same time. They have also not provided any kind of team information ever since they have created their ANN thread.

Additional Notes:

Note # 1 : Plagiarized Whitepaper
Although they have referenced other sources for their whitepaper not of the plagiarized content have been referenced because it came from another project namely WAVES which most of their content came from it. One of the worst plagiarisms I have ever seen in a whitepaper since they just basically replaced the words "WAVES/ WAVES platform" to "EARTHS/ EARTHS platform". You can see WAVES' whitepaper here (any direct links would be appreciated so I can replace my source).

Example #1
EARTHS Whitepaper

WAVES Whitepaper


Example #2 Even their footnotes are the same
EARTHS Whitepaper

WAVES Whitepaper


Example #3 Like I said there footnotes/reference links are the same and even their ending conclusion
EARTHS Whitepaper

WAVES Whitepaper

Note # 2 : No Team
Aside from their project having no team they have evaded answering the question several times already in their ANN thread and instead answer differently compared to the questions asked by other members. For a project that aims to provide financial support to it's participants but eagerly does not disclosed any of its team members is just really a big red flag.

Hi,

Are there any links to the WhitePaper of the project? Also, please provide a picture of the team behind the project and integrate it to the website to validate its authenticity. Before you post any links directing to the website, please make sure to supplement all the important details for investors to read and observe.


Hi,

This is more a social project. If you are interested in investing in it, you can purchase our tokens and lease them to the node, or you can create a node and lease tokens on your own or purchase them directly. We will take into account your wishes and create a whitepaper.

what do you mean by a social project?
and just like other crypto projects they always create a whitepaper so it can attract more people

Before creating a project, the main goal was to help people. Profit extraction in this project is secondary for the team. It would be correct to say that the team is not focused on making a profit from this project.

This TS opened more thread with different project name, seems that this one is similar to the others with different names that aims to collect money from those gulibles that would believe him. Sorry to say but more of the forum members are already doing their due dilligence and could not be easily lured into this kind of scheme.

Because we are one and the same Team, but the projects are different, therefore we use the same name. But we will ever separate and HATCH will be separate and EARTHS, IPU will be separate.
