This page explains how Crypto Jacky decides what to cover, how a review actually gets tested, and how mistakes get fixed once something is published. It’s the detailed version of what’s summarized on the about page.
How topics get chosen
Coverage is driven by what a reader is actually deciding between — which regulated exchange to open an account with, which wallet fits how they actually use crypto, whether a subscription tier is worth its cost. Trending coins, speculative projects, and “top 10” style rankings aren’t what this site covers, because they don’t usually help someone make a real decision about an account they’re about to open or a wallet they’re about to trust with their funds.
How a review gets tested
A review of an exchange means a real account gets opened, verified, and funded through more than one method so the fee difference between them is checked directly rather than assumed. Orders get placed through whatever interface a new user would actually land on first, and through any more advanced option that might be hidden a tab or two away. A review of a wallet means a real wallet gets installed, a real seed phrase gets generated and backed up the way the app instructs, and a real transaction gets sent and received. Any built-in swap or exchange feature gets tested against its advertised rate, not just described from the marketing page.
Fact-checking
Fees, prices, supported asset lists, and security details get checked against a current source immediately before publication, since these numbers change often enough that older figures can be meaningfully wrong. Where a specific number can’t be confirmed against a source that’s actually current, it gets phrased around rather than guessed at, or left out of the piece entirely.
How downsides are handled
Every product covered has trade-offs, and every review is expected to name them specifically — an exact fee percentage, not “a bit pricier”; a specific security gap, not a vague warning. Where a product offers its own workaround for a weak point, that gets covered too, since a review that only names a problem without checking for a fix isn’t finished.
Corrections and updates
When a number or claim in a published article turns out to be wrong, or a product changes its fees or features enough to affect a review’s conclusion, the article gets updated directly rather than left stale or quietly abandoned. Corrections are made in place, not buried in a separate post. Readers who spot an error can report it through the contact page, and that’s one of the more reliable ways an error actually gets caught and fixed.
What never gets published here
- A review of a product that hasn’t actually been used firsthand.
- Personalized investment advice, price predictions, or return guarantees.
- Coverage driven by hype or search trends without a real, practical use case behind it.
- A paid placement or affiliate relationship presented as an independent recommendation without disclosure.
