Your suspicion makes sense. I would be suspicious too. But I am trying to lay out the facts that I hope will illuminate the truth. What else can I do?

First of all, your comment is besides the point of this post. This post was mainly for the purpose of informing people of an obvious scam project in the hope that some individuals may be able to avoid loosing their money.

Nevertheless, why don't we take this as a learning opportunity for you.

Lets start by defining what a scam project is these days in crypto. A scam project almost always follows the same basic outline as follows:
1) They promise something magnificent and ground breaking that will change the world forever.
2) Without any product or work at all, they ask everyone for money. They promise that they will use this money to accomplish what is written in 1)
3) They never actually create what they promised. In fact, they usually don't create anything.
4) They take everyone's money and disappear forever, which they can do because they were careful to remain anonymous the entire time.

You see, a scammer is trying to do as little work as possible, while stealing as much money as possible.

Now, lets look at what HeliosProtocol has done:
1) Come up with a groundbreaking concept that results in an infinitely scalable smart contract and DApp platform. Something customers actually need.
2) Create a fully transparent website showing the entire team, a highly technical whitepaper, and exact roadmap to follow. Even register a business with the government and get verified by Dunns and Bradstreet.
3) Develop the entire project from start to finish with zero funding. In fact, the founders spent tens of thousands of dollars of their own savings, and multiple years of their life, to accomplish this. The lead developer even put his PhD in physics on hold to make time to work on this full time. Entirely unpaid.
4) Build a strong community of like minded individuals who actually care about the future of society.
5) Airdrop tokens for free to the community during this time.
6) Release the testnet, which happened over 3 months ago.
7) Release mainnet, which will happen in Q2 2019.

In this case, HeliosProtocol is doing the opposite of a scammer, doing as much work as possible for free.

You want proof of any of this? Check their discord. You want proof of their testnet doing what they say it can? Why don't you just try out their testnet wallet and see for yourself? Want proof that they are making ground breaking technology? Why don't you check their github and see for yourself? They aren't hiding anything. All the proof you need is open source, transparent, and there at your fingertips. Let me link them for you because I know you aren't going to bother looking yourself:

Lets just pause for a second to take a look at this. If HeliosProtocol is a scam, then they are doing a very bad job at it because they ended up accidentally making new technology that the world actually needs, and loosing tens of thousands of dollars at the same time. Doesn't sound like a very effective scam to me.


Getting back to your other point, about a team member being from a scam project. The team member in question is a community manager. He got caught up in the crypto hype of late 2017, just like a lot of other people, and helped out in a shady project. He was never more than a community manager in that project and had no control in how they functioned. I am not sure how many cryptocurrency projects you have been a part of, but community managers usually do just that, they manage the community. Does that sound to you like they have any say in how the project actually functions? Any day do day operation decisions? The answer is no. A community manager has no effect on the how a project operates.

Lol, you should take a break from using computers.

Helios protocol is not a scam. There are a lot of other projects that have recently copied the helios name which are absolutely scams. But the helios protocol at https://heliosprotocol.io is not a scam. They are a registered corporation in BC with a Dun and Bradstreet number that can be found here: https://creditreports.dnb.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/DxpReportSelectionCmd?langId=-1&storeId=18050&catalogId=100361&country=CA&selectedDuns=1. They also list their entire team on the website, and are fully open source. You can see all of their code and commits here: https://github.com/Helios-Protocol.

For a scam to be a scam it must take money from people. Helios Protocol has not taken a cent from anyone anywhere. So it by definition couldn't possibly be a scam if they wanted.

Can anyone please explain to me why Helios Protocol is included in this list?

Are you trolling? Where do you see 14 contributions? Let me help you learn how to use github: http://lmgtfy.com/?q=how+does+github+work

I am Tommy McKinnon, the founder of Helios protocol. I can tell you our project it is definitely not a scam and shouldn't be included with the others. We are are actually developing new technology, and have done so for over a year now. You can see our open source code on GitHub if you want to check for yourselves. We didn't have an ico, didn't ask for a penny from anybody, and I bootstrapped the entire project so far with my personal savings. Our entire team is listed on the website. We don't need to hide from people like other projects because we aren't a scam.

Why don't you take a few minutes to do some research before making blatant accusations like this.
