Digital Currency Association Certification
Trustworthy - Can they be trusted with your money? Is customer support responsive?
Team Transparency - Do they list their principals on their web site and/or WhoIs? Private Registration is ok if we can verify them in other ways.
Technology - Is this project a true innovation and contribution to society, or just another copy of Bitcoin? Does the wallet work (testing with 1000 coins or tokens)?
more available upon request: info@a-dc.org
* "DCA Certified" was already taken by the Diamond Council of America www.DiamondCouncil.org for certifying jewels. So we use "ADC Certified" to avoid confusion.
