Thanks for the positive feedback, we believe in what we are doing. DM us your suggestions on design here or Twitter, thanks in advance!

That`s a perfect IDEA to check ICO`s for security. Looks like hopeful and promising.
P.S.You should improve the design of source, it`s not very warm and comfortable.

Blockchain security is a complicated task by itself, specially when it comes to ICOs where the team of contributors has not achieved the proper population/scale. Our aim here is to check for visible/invisible security hygiene and share that information back with investors who can choose to use it for modeling risk. At the end of the day, we want #CryptoHygiene grades to make retail investors feel safe and not worry if the projects they are investing in are susceptible to common vulnerabilities etc.

Not sure what you mean by criteria. We have developed a set of services to help us understand how well the team behind an ICO manages their cybersecurity risks

What are the criterias for grading the ICOs?

I doublt your analysis will be full, without making an audit of smart contracts, for example. I was asking about such things.

How secure is your new #coin or #token investment? Investing in a new coin/token via ICO requires trusting the cybersecurity practices of the company/project

Securecoin Capital just launched a service (in beta) to grade ICO's on their cybersecurity capabilities as part of creating awareness around #CryptoHygiene (https://www.securecoin.capital/cryptohygiene)

Every ICO will be given 1 of these 3 Grades for their cybersecurity capabilities
1. 'A': best in class
2. 'B': average
3. 'F': sub-standard

Subscribe to our newsletter for free weekly #CryptoHygiene grades. For members, they have created an on-demand service to request grading specific ICO's that need to be prioritized. Learn more about it in our latest Blog post

Re: What is Airdrop?
by

good insights in here

Giveaway - a donation to any warm body who may or may not ask for it (ex: Authorship, Masternodecoin, HOWL)
Airdrop - giveaway of one asset to owners of a separate asset (ex: CLAMs)
Sharedrop - airdrop in proportion to the amount of a separate asset (ex: OmiseGo, Byteball, Bitcore)
Sigdrop - signature campaign giveaway (ex: DeepOnion)

BCH is not an airdrop, it's a fork.

All new coins should do airdrops (and sigdrops too if the coin doesn't have big whales behind it), even if they are smallish (like OMG).  Airdrops increase distribution, instantly creates allies, and the airdropees will start pumping your coin.  Most legit airdrops are sharedrops.  The easiest coins to airdrop on right now are Ethereum and Waves (bitcoin does not have a native colored coin like Ethereum does with the ERC20 token, so to get a bitcoin sharedrop you have to sign a message typically).

Most giveaways are garbage.  However there are diamonds in the rough: NEM, Decred, and Ripple giveaways turned out to be huge.  One problem with giveaways is transparency--how do we know that the devs didn't create a bunch of sockpuppet accounts?  NEM has been accused of having many sockpuppet accounts in its giveaway.

Investing in ICO s will be the best option for you because if  ICO fails then you will get your invested money back and if the ICO will good you can get a lot of money from it...


That is not always correct. I know for a fact that sometimes you don't get your investment money back. So always study an ICO before you invest in it. Check thoroughly their white paper, if it is mentioned in forums, search the people behind the ICO etc. and then decide about making an investment.

Re: Who own this(14rWfpfe5p4aBP2CKQbP48oicfB5En3Mam) BTC address

thanks, not the OP but was curious how he/she did that

how did you find that?  Shocked Huh

I found it was come through http://rainpool.io
Google it and go to the last page of the search. It will show that the address has been posted somewhere in this archive[1] of the faucet.

You can't really just ask who owns this address. I could create an address right now, go to your faucet and use it there. You would never be able to link the address to me.

The address also only received one transaction of $0.6; Not sure why you are so worried about this guy.

50 is really not bad.. that's $600 a year
My suggestion:
Every month convert your $50 to ETH/BTC, at the same time search for popular ICO's or what you think might have a future
If you one of your ICO prediction is correct, you'll multiply your investment and will be able to exchange it for more ETH/BTC or whatever you want
but in general, stick with ICO's - since as you said 50 isn't a lot and ICO's offer the best return on investment
Good luck

While an ICO might have the best potential return, I believe maybe only 1 or 2 out of the hundreds that are being offered might succeed. Most are outright scams. Investing in an ICO takes a lot of research and vetting if you don't want to lose your money.
