Increase confidence and be a source of not-a-scam content about bch.info

[emergent-reasons]

it would be awesome if there was one page (that could be trusted and thus shared by everyone, perhaps run as part of a consortium between all the different groups), which only served to list legitimate websites and code sources, and who controls them. (and also to point out scam sites, non-legitimate sites)

what I'm doing right now is pretty unreliable. I look for the largest projects on github/gitlab by # of forks

but also I've decided certain sites are authoritative based on who owns them (assuming I can verify that)

so for example, I got here by going from https://www.bitcoin.com/full-nodes/ --> https://gitlab.com/bitcoin-cash-node/bitcoin-cash-node#development-process (edited)

if that page on bitcoin.com didn't exist, I would never have known bitcoincashnode.org was legit and bitcoincashnodes.org was a scam site

Same person:

tbh if I hit that site randomly, I'd immediately think it was a clone of bitcoincash.org, because of the style. the fancier a site is, the more I think it is trying to sell me something, hehe. I like documentation.cash, right to the point.

I don't see how the styles are similar. Literally every single line of CSS and color is different.

Can we close this @emergent-reasons ?

It's not my call but I would prefer to keep this open. There are so many scams. How can we increase confidence in this site? I really don't know the answer, but I think it is an open, unsolved issue.
