The project 'Merge0' (or ThunderStone) appears to be a defunct or low-effort initiative with significant red flags. The submission relies on copy-pasted text from roughly 2015-2016 (predicting IoT growth 'by 2020'), indicating a lack of active maintenance or relevance. The claim that 'most people have used my product' is demonstrably false given the project's obscurity and lack of search presence. While a 'Merge' cryptocurrency exists with a negligible market cap (~$5k-$15k), there is no evidence linking it definitively to this submission or validating the high traction claims. The project scores extremely low due to outdated premises, false traction signals, and a lack of verifiable utility.
