| In the current age of AI, deepfakes, etc this is a very hard problem and I don't envy you. I think asking vendors to go through a paid verification process is fair. There are a slew of KYB vendors out there who can help. |

| I think you're going to have to standardize what you consider to be knock offs and what's not, or you're going to end up in continuous quagmires like this trying to make a determination based on vibes. You might even end up getting together a team of volunteers to look through them or it'll probably get overwhelming. What determination did you use to make the original list? |

| ▲ | chris-mosley 15 hours ago | parent [-] | | So the original list is very specifically about no-name dropshippers. I very specifically state in the readme that the list isn't a measure of quality. So in the case where this guy is 3D printing stuff and selling it. That's good enough for the list if he's been doing it long enough. But looking at the details of this one, he's dabbled in crypto. He apparently sold crystal tubes... So like he sorta feels like he might be a state-side dropshipper. I am sorta leaning towards just adding his brand. The list isn't append only, we can remove stuff if people feel the need. | | |

| Have him send you a sample piece, with his name embossed in the print. Easy to do in most slicers. |

| Could you ask him for a video of himself 3d printing it? |
