How Streamity lies to their investors

Update: Streamity team has removed the Socproofy script from their website. However, their official position is that there was no mistake and nothing wrong in showing notifications about fake registrations.

Hello everyone! We thought that Streamity topic is already over — they haven't answered a single uncomfortable question, started to claim that their competitors are distributing misinformation (even though we just asked questions and didn't make any claims).

But when I visited their website the other time, I noticed a small widget that is widely used on scam-projects. The one that claims "Someone from *** just registered as investor".

Notifications are coming from socproofy.ru service — but we'll talk about it's settings later on. If you open streamity.org in 3-4 Chrome Incognito Tabs, you will notice 10 different notifications from different cities within the first 10 seconds.

You can then estimate the number of registrations per second by opening the website in 10 tabs, refreshing and count the number of registrations from different countries within 10 seconds — you guessed it right, it will be 10 or more. It means that they have ~1 registration per second.

Which means that Streamity will have roughly 1 036 800 registrations more by the end of the sale (12 days x 24 hours x 60 minutes x 60 seconds). Whenever you open the website you will see a registration within the first 10 seconds. My opinion is that Streamity will not prove these numbers — so it is a complete lie about the registrations.

But what about Socproofy settings though?

What do we have here? Notification randomization, initial timeout, random timeout between notifications. How so? Are they trying to fake the notifications?

Our goal here is to give you as much information as possible about the project. Your goal should be to sum everything up and make your own judgement whether to invest or not. But we can clearly see fake registrations here used by marketers to push you into registering exploiting your basic crowd and FOMO instincts.

Do you think that Streamity won't lie to their investors after they lied to their website users? I personally doubt it.

Update: manual how to prove it yourself

• Open streamity.org in Chrome and open developer tools (Cmd+Alt+J).
• Go to the Elements tab and search for socproof__block. This is the element of the registration notification.

• Now select the Sources tab.

• Here, search (Cmd+Alt+F) for the same old socproof__block. It will give you two results: style file (css) and executable code file (js). JS file can be found here. You can verify the URL's.
• Click the JS file, then the {} icon on the bottom left.

• Scroll down to the line 379, and click on the 379 number so that the blue breakpoint appear.

• Refresh the page and go to the line 378, then hover your mouse over socproof.events.
• Open the first element of this object by clicking the expand trianlge, then notice what do we have in the field messageText.

What do we see? The text goes as follows:

"Someone from <name>Geneva;Munich;Lisbon;Arnhem;Milan;Hanover;Geneva;Zurich;Buenos Aires;Melbourne;Jeju Island;Copenhagen;Shinagawa;Osaka;Hiroshima;La Rochelle;Sapporo;Daegu;Mumbai;New Delhi;Guatemala City;Durango;Sakai;Valencia;Yokohama;Derby;Sydney;Shymkent;Abu Dhabi;London;Almaty;Kiev;Moscow;Tokyo;Seoul;Vancouver;Amsterdam;Ljubljana;Tel Aviv;Amsterdam;Douglas;Ginza;Bucharest;Singapore;Leeuwarden</name> just registered as investor"

What just happened? Local script requested a list of cities from server as well as notification settings such as when, where and with what interval to show notifications. Even worse! Turns out Socproofy doesn't support real registration notifications at all, only fake ones!

There can be no doubts: the request is unique to the Streamity website. And Streamity gives users complete fake information about the recent registration. And you can prove it on your own now.
