Editorial policy
How we research, write, check and update our content.
DCoining exists to explain crypto clearly and help people protect themselves from its risks and scams. This policy explains how we create, check and update what you read.
Who creates our content
Articles are produced by the DCoining editorial team. Every article is reviewed and edited by a human editor before it is published, and the editor is accountable for its accuracy. An update date does not indicate expert review. When a qualified expert reviews an article, their name, credentials and the review date appear at the top of the article and on their profile page.
How we research
- We start from primary and authoritative sources: protocol documentation and source code, the original Bitcoin white paper, regulators such as the US FTC and SEC and the UK FCA, and law-enforcement reports.
- We list key sources at the end of each guide so you can check them yourself.
- We explain uncertainty honestly and do not overstate evidence.
Use of AI tools
We use AI tools to help with research, outlining and drafting, and to create some illustrations. AI never publishes on its own: a human editor checks the facts, rewrites for clarity and takes responsibility for every article. AI-generated drafts can contain mistakes; use the correction contact below to report a problem. AI-generated images are illustrations, never evidence of real events.
Independence
Advertisers and partners have no say over what we cover or what we conclude. We do not accept payment for positive coverage. Sponsored content, if we ever publish it, will be clearly labelled.
Updates and corrections
We review guides regularly and whenever the facts change, and we show the date of the latest update. If you spot an error, email hello@dcoining.com. We investigate every report, fix confirmed errors promptly and note significant corrections on the article.
