1 - Real world usage of the project/idea/app whatever they are backing their token/coin/DA on. Firstly and foremost if the thought of using this project gives me a "i'd buy that product vibe" then great - if I barely give it a cursory "meh" then I don't bother with 2 and 3.
2 - Is the project "likely" to get off the ground... no use in dreaming up an awesome concept if the concept itself is only able to be solved by Elon Musk and his devs. And he's busy enough...
3 - Project team (not just devs - everyone... founder, devs, and media team) - how do they come across on social media. Are they all on the same page with the project. Are they all professional at all times, is their even a real team of ppl.

I know this could have been summarised in three words - use, concept, team - but i didn't think it conveyed everything I want to say

Does this have to be a favourite crypto Youtuber or just in general? If its crypto - then no one yet lol - favourite general/entertainment Youtubers... Viva La Dirt League all the way!! Lol

Man I only got 97 tokens and they charge a 50 token withdrawal fee. BS

Same - I think a lot of the REBL fans - felt a little (alot) annoyed that L3 verification wasn't specified before going in and setting up an account at yet another rando exchange. The last time I bothered to login to see what the go was with trying to withdraw that 97REBL, - I'm sure it said something like 1000 minimum withdrawal, or 100 minimum to make a sell...

It seemed a bit ridic tho

Thanks for posting about Gridcoin

There's a lot to it for new people though and honestly and while its a cool concept its execution leaves a lot to be desired.

BOINC research - well it is easy to set up and run and then most likely you need to register for the pool otherwise you won't get far unless you have amazing mining rigs - but the wallet. Well its utterly awful.
I keep mine open for staking, of which nothing ever goes through because I usually end up forking away from the main chain after a few hours and then the nice little fork I'm on - well that doesn't pay stake rewards... Of course - you then rebuild the chain to try and fix... that doesn't work but it takes so long you wonder off only to come back hours later to find its still not fixed. So yeh, if like me - you get a completely useless wallet situation happening - POS is a no-go lol.

Still - even with all that wallet drama - i can't seem to stop BOINC'g and that all goes thru fine. Look for aliens with SETI, Crunch some PrimeNumbers or map the MilkyWay - its my tiny little contribution to science

Waves has gotten so popular of late the faucets have all pretty much dried up so not a lot of surprises on offer now through them. They are moving to offering the surprises to through Waves HODLing via the Leasing and POS4all.

I was an avid claimer of all the WavesDrops/WavesGo/WavesDesk and TurtleNode faucets I could get my little hands on. But with POS4all and LPOS, saves me heaps of time and I still get free waves tokens daily.

No, but it makes you meet new people in smoking areas.

Haha - that it does - or just have awkward stare-offs with some randoms...

Waves are great - near instant transactions, leasing nodes (LPOS), and POS4all, easy token creation and a low fees that are set. There are multiple faucets available as well - and good communities built around the platform.

Drawbacks:
Like ETH - the easy token creation makes sham/scam creation easy target for people to get conned - so make sure you're only buying verified tokens or Bitcoin on it - as some people have been fooled thinking they were buying Ripple or BitcoinGold tokens or even USD.
