It has to be a scam. It came out of nowhere. It became a unicorn. It's the most random thing I have ever heard of.

I was so naive to respect the founder of 5ire. I did understand but he was explaining some logical stuff back then putting the UN, top tags on them. Felt like a fool. What is so wrong with these guys?

What are they actually doing? Just lol SDG coins. Just watch their video. They make no sense.  They are building a community by forcing them a bunch of tasks including liking their page and giving coins which are nothing. 
Is this another scam? Comment and share what you know and understand.

Apart from it being another crypto ("virtual") currency, I don't see worldcoin being any different. And as far as authentication goes, it looks like it's a mix of metamask and iris authentication (?), which is a little different from biometrics.

Am I missing something here?

Worldcoin = Web 3?

Not going to lie but Ashneer was right, Mankur Marikoo ka naam saath mei mat lena, tu mujhe gaali se se but naam saath mei mat lena( because he’s the biggest scam artist after Dakshat Shrivastava)

 Just like Vauld, Marikoo turns out to be the biggest sell out of all time yet again. With Fraud Shamani and Chetan Bro-goat following him, they promoted a scam Startup Conference in Noida stating you can raise funding there, that too within 3 days.

Turns out you have to pay 💰 a boatload of cash to get into the conference. Now it turns out to be a scam when the organisers fled away with the money.

It’s a pity that people follow these charlatans who masquerade as superior beings while their true character is revealed in moments like this..

Is Cred making money?

Growth Manager

Working on an app which is at a very early stage. 

Layman gist of the idea:
A step counter app which rewards users in a specific, useful and sensible way in return for the steps tracked and maybe couple other physical activities that the user undertakes. 

Current market:
I know there are couple apps already in India which do the same and few more available globally which do the same but obviously they are not too mainstream and not actually that beneficial to users to form a habit forming culture. Basically its just like those stupid cred coins concept where you earn but no way to spend!

My outlook:
I obviously have  broad horizon and want to create a useful and meaningful money making ecosystem through some strategies/ideas that I have and make it an actual money making app/company with a sensible rationale and economics behind it and not just some zabardasti ka startup just for the sake of "having khud ka startup." 

My aim:
To achieve great level of gamification in healthcare and create an ecosystem/network through this with lot of things to come in future.

Please share your views how stupid/irrelevant you think this (obviously citing the reasons).
If you feel its somewhat intriguing/sensible, feel free to brainstorm here/DM/email (codenerdai@gmail.com)

Need honest opinion/constrictive criticism about this app

So finally, someone spoke about this fraudulent startup AstroTalk. How they operate and how they take advantage of gullible people, is completely explained in the video. These kinds of startups need to be busted on LinkedIn and other social media platforms so that no one calls prey for such cheap tactics. This is just another BYJUs in the making. The cofounder is an IIT IIM grad. Shows how greed can even pollute the minds of even highly educated people. Really don't understand how the VCs can be so fucking dumb, funding them with 165 Crores!! Shocking but it isn't surprising since the Indian Startup ecosystem is filled with such scam artists.

Scam called AstroTalk - BYJUs 2.0

Jab tak hum jaise log IIM/IITians ki G chaat te rahenge tab tak ye hume chutiya banate rahenge. 4 din baad tum chutiye sab bhool jaoge fir kisi naye IIT/IIM led startup ko linkedin par praise karoge jab tak wo bubble itna bada na ho jaye ki use criticise kar pao…fir kisi anonymous platform par aajakr “OMG SO FUCKING DISGUSTING” bold doge kyuki linkedin par to tumhari gaand thandi ho jati hai kisi ko criticise karte hue…aur ye cycle bas chalta rahega…so moral of the story is, tum hi log chutiye ho wo nahi.

Investor

Ilya Sutskever, OpenAI’s former chief scientist, is launching Safe Superintelligence Inc., an AI startup “prioritizing safety over commercial pressures”.

What’s SSI? Safe Superintelligence Inc. (SSI) aims to create a safe and powerful AI system, approaching safety and capabilities in tandem while avoiding distraction by management overhead or product cycles.

Team? SSI is co-founded by Daniel Gross, a former AI lead at Apple, and Daniel Levy, who previously worked at OpenAI. Unlike OpenAI, SSI will not pursue partnerships with companies like Apple and Microsoft.

What are they upto? Well, SSI’s first product will be safe superintelligence, and the company “will not do anything else” until then 🤐

Still no idea what this means but great team doing something, will be super exciting to see this pan out!

- Are these guys on the path to profitability now? What do they even do? Just sell loans and insurance to rich people who won't fall for that shit anyway? What's their edge over the hundreds of other companies already doing that?

- How much are they burning now? How much runway do they have?

- Cuz everyone abuses their CRED coins and calls them worthless.

- Most importantly, I'm sick of seeing Kunal Shah's smug dp pop up on my Twitter everyday with some new gyan while it's unclear what he even does

What's the deal with CRED?

I mean how does this guy do it? He literally has half baked products that are just a copy of products innovated outside India. 
All the horseshit talk these founders do about innovation.

I might probably regret this especially since I’ve seen a lot of backlash on this platform for crypto. 

But honestly, this has been a rewarding stint. And note that I didn’t say “crypto” as I don’t always advice people to invest in crypto.

I’ve been working in blockchain for the past three years and still here. AMA!

Every few weeks I see his post on LinkedIn about how startups are burning money, and the post ends with his open pitch for a distraction free smartphone, called Seneca, that he is building.

He writes well but i have been seeing such posts for a year now and was wondering if he is really building something or it is just some sort of scam to get funds from people.

Anyone heard of Seneca or Nishant Mittal?

Now that Cred Coins have some value, looks like only the grapes 🍇 are running far behind!

What to do with Cred Coins? Here's the answer!

Consultant

They have recently started verification with the Orb, there are around 18 places in India where we can get verified, just curious what you guys think and did anyone get themselves verified?

What do you guys think about Worldcoin

i recently worked at a web3 startup where during the interview they promised a salary and crypto tokens (inplace of equity in the company) with a vesting of 4 years. 

the company recommended me to their sister company recently, and now i sort of have all ties cut with them.

all of this happened in a hurry so it didn't hit to me to ask for my vested tokens (i worked for them for 1.5years), neither is this mentioned in the contract (very early stage startup when i joined)

they don't have a token of their own yet, but we had a verbal agreement that when there will be tokens minted I'll be eligible.


so now im confused if it seems right to ask them for it or should i just leave it and move on?

if i do choose to ask them, how should i go about it?
something like "hey i realised we dont have anything about the vested tokens in writing, can we have it now?" or "hey it just hit me, what happens to my vested tokens at the company?" or ?
