There is a reason we have the greylist and my original idea was automated but since it was stolen and g_uk decided to make it as if he came up with the idea its half assed and manual and I think that the people whom have access to whitelist/greylist/de-whitelist have it handled since they can manually manipulate the neural network. This is not the first time a project ended that was on the whitelist. Enigma and Mindmolding are 2 for example , you can go threw the projects listing under gridcoinstats.eu and see past projects. Thank god some of us actually look for new projects seeing as you want the whitelist to have as many projects as possible vs as small and as few projects thus giving the little guy a chance to earn something vs just the whales.
