My roommate just got hired for some webwork from what I think is an upcoming crypto and I want to get in early, but I am not used to doing research on new companies, and I think the forum is blocking my post when asking about the company by name, so that is not going to work. How do I start on the basic research on a company like that to see if I should invest?

Providing answers to your question might be quite difficult because i find it hard to comprehend. If your roommate gets a job for an upcoming crypto project, then it's definitely in form of a contract were he/she might be paid at the end of the day. The payment might be in form of the crypto itself or any other agreed terms. And it also means that he/she is well equiped with the neccesary knowledge inorder to get the job.
Do you want to get into crypto by making investment?, Or you want to find a crypto job?.
If you want to make any investment, then it's advisable you make research yourself. Your decision matters in bearing every risk attached.
If you want to find a crypto job, then it's also advisable you get yourself equipped with the necessary information by also making research. Getting a crypto job isn't for those that don't understand how it works.
If I didn't provide the neccesary answers, kindly notify me and explain the post in details.

If you want to do research then simply learn about that project, first set your goals like what you want to achieve in your research for example the TOC (Table of Contents) after that you can easily perform your research. In the current era finding new research proposals has become so easy with the help of AI and you are still struggling to do research about an existing topic.
Well, here is an example. I used to be a bounty hunter on BTT and when I had to write an article, I simply checked the website, whitepaper, telegram (often), and Twitter. These few things gave me an idea of what the project is about and in what way I have to show it in my research. A little bit of creativity is also necessary. I hope it will be of some help to you. If you lack some then use AI but still creativity would be needed there too.

Upcoming crypto? so is this an ICO or what?
Hmm buddy. ICOs are a thing of the past. Obviously, I don't know the exact project but if it's an ICO, there's a reason why people are super skeptical about them now -- because most of them either turned out to be unprofitable or scams. I think before anything else, it would be better to weigh down the risk.
To be frank, I think people who just started their crypto journey should as much as possible avoid those with extreme risk and stick with holding bitcoin long term for starters.

Welcome to Crypto Currency Welcome in advance if you are thinking that you will be involved with Crypto Currency very soon. You will find general knowledge about crypto currency in this section of this forum. Even if you want to know the basics, you need to be familiar with cryptocurrency first and try to familiarize yourself with the various sections of this forum. I think if you spend time on the forum from the ideas you will get from the various videos, you will learn more from the videos and have the opportunity to share your views on this forum. So quickly implement the plan you have made as you hope to learn and learn about cryptocurrency quickly.

Have you checked with your roommate to confirm the essential details about the project? Basic information is necessary to conduct further research on that particular project. There are various ways to find information, such as using Google search, social media, or even different forums like here in AltcoinsTalks.
If you lack basic information about the project, you can directly ask your roommate for the details and request the links to the project. This will help you determine if the project is in its early stages and when it will be launched, so you can get early as soon as possible.

I think the forum is blocking my post when asking about the company by name, so that is not going to work.
Well, I might be new to this forum but I find it really weird it would block a name, maybe the url of that company yes that would be a thing to percent spam, but the name? And I find it even weirder that you didn't press the issue with the mods here to fin out why it would have been banned, as that would have already answered a ton of question!
Well, here is an example. I used to be a bounty hunter on BTT and when I had to write an article, I simply checked the website, whitepaper, telegram (often), and Twitter. These few things gave me an idea of what the project is about and in what way I have to show it in my research.
And what's the percentage of dead projects in the ones you advertised?
Or even more importantly, have you actually held to those coins and not dumped them the moment you got them?

When it comes to research Google is your best friend, you can first try doing a Whois lookup https://www.whois.com/whois/ so you can determine the age of the domain then you can do a variation of your research with keywords attached to it like the company name plus keywords like the word scam if the company is over a year old then there should be a results everything that about the company that are written about the company will be indexed by the search engine.
Better check who are the people behind the company and check the reputation of the group, people on the internet there are Crypto projects that use fake names so don't easily trust these kinds of people.

@Thitical Crinker, the forum itself can block certain words or URLs programmed for this purpose. The administration and moderators take care of many things, one of those things is spam and shilling. Spam, of course, has no place on the forum, there is a specific section for shilling. Your deleted or blocked posts may be due to shilling outside of that section. Please read the following links when you can to better understand how the forum works:

Christ, I completely forgot to get back to this thread, I am sooo sorry!!! I wanted to research his employer because they looked like they were doing something I am working on (investment safety in dogotal currencies, ie. new crypto models that are harder to get scammed by) and well I wanted in lol. Turns out they are a very closed circle of investors so I can not get in even if I want. I am still researching them because I believe my roommate gave them some of my work without permision but for now this is all I know. Their website which is what my roommate is working on for them is just a page because nothing is open to outsiders. Rich people dont like to share i guess. oh well.
If anyone gets an invitation from them i would love to know more. Maybe there are some big shot investors here who are more lucky then me!
Edit: I did the research on other websites because this forum does not allow me to include the name of the company/project. They send me a very meme filled private message basically calling me a dummy for mentioning the company/project by name lol!
-
What a weird company. Why would they send you a meme response if you are legit asking the right questions for them? Sounds like a scam project if that's how they behave for every question related to their work. On the other hand, I'm still confused about what kind of company you're trying to get involved in. Are they an investment VC so your friend sent your portfolio list to get accepted into their VC circle and allowed to make private deals, or what?
If you don't even share their name, how can we tell if we get an invitation or not? Surely you can at least share their key details so we can find out whether we're talking about the same company or not in the future. How did you do your research anyway? Using Google to find their website page and then stop there because they don't share anything else? I never heard a VC being so secretive.
-
You can try to search for the background of the developers. Check their tokenomics or the designed economics for their coins. The validity of the road map and see whether the developer has the ability to make it to reality. Do not be hyped by the promises of the project after all it is only just a promise, what matters is knowing whether the developers have the ability or not.
It is good to ask them a direct question but never rely on their answers because they can always butter up their responses, there have been many cases like this where the project developer is so good at their talking but in the end, they are unable to deliver.
-

Oh no, the meme response was sent by someone on this forum, telling me to stop "promoting" the company/project by asking about information about them. I dont understand it either, but I feel I should follow the rules. Noy sure if it will get the thread banned now, so well... the name is brassmint. I doubt you will get much from that, anyway, but now its there.
I never heard a VC being so secretive.
I am starting to think that is the point. You never hear about them BECAUSE they are secretive. I only found out because I looked at what he was doing for them (web design) and saw his billing. They seem to just not want anyone to notice them. which makes me notice them even more of course!!!
It is good to ask them a direct question but never rely on their answers because they can always butter up their responses, there have been many cases like this where the project developer is so good at their talking but in the end, they are unable to deliver.
I tried. As mentioned they seem to not care about someone like me. I should prob give up but the few things i have learned just make me angry they are walling me out.

Well, I think you should be patient first with this new crypto mate. You shouldn't be in haste to invest in new project flooding the market. Since your friend was hired as a web worker(I guess you meant a developer) then he might just be able to hint you about the project. Now on your own, you should be able to observe the new projects markets supply and it's price movement after it has been launched. Take your time to study the coin if you so wish to invest in it. Don't forget that you should avoid FOMO when it comes to crypto Investment as this will prevent you from making wrong moves and probably losing your money.

It is not easy to do due diligance about a project by a newbie in crypto. but it is certainly important to do that before investing.
Here are Few suggestions:
1: Verify their Team Members: make sure they are real persons, and not just copying other team's identities.
2: Verify their Token/Coin's audits: see if their token is audited by a trustworthy auditor such as CERTIK.
3: See if they have Good partners: Don't just belive them. check if the projects they claimed to be partners with also made the announcement or not.
4: check how active and supporting their community is. join their discord or telegram and see what other people talkinga bout them.
these are some basic things you can do. but even after all these some projects still turn out to be frauds. Basically there will always be some risks when investing in new projects. so keep this in mind whenever you want to invest.

@Thitical Crinker, have you tried searching your roommate's GitHub/GitLab profile? If he is an experienced developer, he may have a profile on one of those sites. If he has a profile and it is public, you may be able to access the information you are looking for. You can also visit your roommate's social networks, in case he says something about the project. In any case, I don't understand why a company can hide information as simple as a website, no matter how big the investors are.
-
Op if you don't have the key words of the company then you can't get to the name of the company even you use Google or any other search 🔍 machine or engine. It you can check your roommate managerial profile list if the name of the come is there. But even at that it will be hard for your to detect the particular site. So what I want will advise you is that you just have to leave it and focus on the familiar project and invest in them.

If you wanted to invest in a company like an early investor then you have to see the potential of the team and other venture capitalist and big investors who are interested in that platform. If you are a newbie and don't know how to hunt good projects then become a small sucker fish that move with big sharks and when the sharks do hunt they also get some part of the food. You can do the same.
You can follow the big sharks and can see if they are interested in the platform in which you are interested then you should move onto the next part and that is, when should you book your profit from that platform, I suggest when you started to make 2x book some of your profit like 50% and when you made 3x to 5x then book the capital you had invested and play with the profit you had gain it will become pressure-less trading for you. Don't forget to review the audit, team, authenticity, transparency and Whitepaper of the project before investing in it.

In doing research you first need to know what your topic is. How do you do research if you don't know what you actually want to research? Then you can take the help of AI if you want to start with that matter. Currently AI has achieved a lot of prosperity. Through this you can start getting different types of resources. In this way, you will go deeply into all the subjects that will come. Then hopefully you can achieve success in research. But research subject is not that easy as you need to spend good amount of time on this subject. Then hopefully you will get results through this in the near future.
-
First thing you, do a research about and how this business flow what point of view you need to ve improve. Don't pressure your swlf to much, learn step by step. Or maybe you rent a mentor to teach you the basic ways.

If the conditions are like this and are not convincing enough, and it seems difficult to obtain various information from the company, to be honest, I will never be interested in investing in such a project. it really looks like a scam Yes, let's just say that your friend is working and still getting paid. but your friends may not know or don't want to know anything about it, the important thing is to get the benefit of the doubt. So what else to expect?
just do research from the 'who is' website
transparency of the team mate and platform
not doing hype

Doing research is as easy as doing your homework back in school days. All you have to do is to get the name of the company I'm question, make Inquiries of what they offer and their terms of service. You can also check for partnership and co operations. Investing In well know company will save you the stress of making working decisions but you still have to do research no matter what.

It's not as easy as you think. Doing research back when you are studying may be easy as you only need to look for basic information without digging deep for more important information. It's not the same as using google and then putting up what you are looking for, the first website or the information you see is what you think it is.
However, if you put more effort and time into doing research, there are more things you need to do. Like looking for different websites to look for information, comparing the information that you are looking for, verifying that information, and so on.

Trying to jump on a big project before it gets too big isn't a bad idea at all but there are so many things to first put into consideration.
Maybe the reason the forum is blocking your posts might be because the forum is relatively unknown or you're asking the question in the wrong board.
I would've suggested you try searching the company name on other search engines, like Bing or DuckDuckGo. If you still can find more about the company then it means they're still very new and not yet known.
So you can try checking the company's website, blogs as well as their social media profiles, perhaps that way you could learn more about their services as well as their team members. Also try checking if their team members are active on social medias too.
You could also try looking at their whitepaper too, to know about the company's goals and plans.
Also try looking at crypto communities to see if there's anywhere the company has been mentioned or what people think about the project.

1. Have a basis. I mean pick some factors that will help you if the project is investable or not. For ex. the tokenomics, the developers behind the project, the transparency, etc. Have a checklist.
2. Speaking of transparency, asking on their different social media platforms would be advisable as well because you will get straight up answers from the developers or might be community managers themselves with regards to the project. With this one, you will know more about the project.
There are many more and these are just some of the ways for you to improve your researching. At the end of the day, even you will do 4 hours of researching regarding that project per day, even the project is good, and the developers are transparent enough for you to get attracted if they decided to scam you, they will scam you anytime. :) Hard truth.

We need to know how we can make research in cryptocurrency before we could venture into any, if we don't know the basis for doing that, then there are means in which we can adopt and use to make sure that we have an idea on what we are going in for, we have online learning materials, articles and this forum as well could serve as a means of learning, we also need time and the ability to endure taking risk and managing it before investing it.
-
It sounds doubtful since the company was blocked, if it is true that everything has been planned to really be built, a new company that hasn't even been founded yet can look for a reputation first by responding to various kinds of feedback from other people. Blocking is the same as shutting down communication, so this is definitely very suspicious... it's better to leave early, rather than jumping too far with them.
There are still many projects that have better prospects, try to explore those that have a better chance of generating profits.

Get as many details as you can from your roommate since he has been hired by them so he must know something about the project because I can't think of an employee knowing nothing about the company they are working with. Once you are done with that, start from their website, look at how it's built, whether it looks professional or not, and see how it's designed and developed. A poor project will always have a poorly designed website.
After that, read their whitepaper, and make sure that you copy random paragraphs from it and search it on Google to see if the content is original and hasn't been copied from somewhere else. Last but not the least, keep an eye on their social media handles, see how active they are and how much engagement they get from their followers, ec.

Being a newbie to crypto, your friend has a lot to do in putting you through it truly you both are friends indeed, secondly, you don't call it company or work, instead, crypto project or coin, when you have the required idea needed on what crypto is, their various kinds and how you could safely invest without having higher risk to loss of fund, then you may start from somewhere with the little amount of money you can afford to loose on your investment, also never forget these two things, make research and take risk.

Now these methods don't seem useful enough, because white papers can be blinded easily using ChatGPT,
even creating a crypto project will be very easy now.
Of course, the most effective way is AI against Ai, and of course any writing made by Ai will be easy to know.
There's a lot more that needs to be researched about projects, about how teams work, whether teams are doxing or projects that are transparent enough, all have to be known.
