Medium introduces new requirements for crypto-currency projects

After Google, Twitter, Facebook and Instagram began to impose restrictions on advertising crypto-currencies and ICO, and the marketers of crypto-cash start-ups began to actively seek other options to attract attention to their projects, the social journalism area Medium issued its own position on this topic.

  Noting that cryptostappers often do not verify accounts on Medium, site representatives recommended that users carefully check the information published by projects and avoid scammers, and also introduced a number of new rules for the publication of posts about crypto-currencies.

  Now the authors of materials on crypto-currency products or their sales should indicate an active link to the project domain in the account data, and also bind to the domain and verify to Medium their e-mail address.  In addition, to a Medium account, you need to link a page to Facebook or Twitter with the same domain.  In addition, you need to create a page with the current contact information.  However, in new publications, no more than one e-wallet address can be specified.

  At the same time, it is forbidden to use an anonymous e-mail address on the Medium, which is not tied to the project domain (including gmail, protonmail, mail.ru, etc.).  Authors of publications can not be advertised or participate in bounty programs, pump and discharge schemes, and also write about receiving rewards and participate in other suspicious activities.  You can not include bare links or abbreviated URLs in message texts.  The ban also included the practice of reusing slightly modified template content in publications from one or more accounts. 

 For violation of these rules, accounts can be deleted from the site as spam.

  Recall that the advertisers found a way around the ban on Facebook to publish ads related to crypto and ICO.  For this, they used a technique popular with email spammers: the replacement of letters.
