skd-fson Show HN: NFT Guard – Protect yourself from fake NFTs and crypto scams

Hello fellow Hackers, Saoud from Fakespot here.

We are excited to announce the latest product in the Fakespot suite, NFT Guard!

This extension will provide verification of NFT collections/NFTs on OpenSea (for first release, we are planning other marketplaces based on user/community feedback) and the detection of scam mint sites that will steal your tokens once a wallet is connected.

Please leave comments here and I'd be more than happy to answer them!

skd-fson Figma and Canva are taking on Adobe and winning

This resembles the era of Salesforce vs Oracle. Having everything on the cloud (Salesforce) versus having expensive in-house systems maintained by Oracle/SAP.

Not surprising at this point as Adobe is a mature and slow moving company. What innovations have they done in the last 5 years besides closing down Flash?

skd-fson Facebook axes 16,000 groups for trading fake reviews after UK intervenes

Not surprising at all at this point. At Fakespot we've noticed a huge surge in fake reviews that originate from Facebook groups where sellers and professional reviewers meet.

The way it works is that a seller provides some kind of incentive (gift card, paypal money, etc) to write a 5 star or even 1 star review (for competitors). Facebook has hosted these groups and they have exploded in numbers in the last year.
