Mind if I ask, which member of the group actually talks through this account? and why do you not release coins under your own name ? for example, moosa says that cryptcoin was his own personal creation, but then uses another completely new account to make the release thread?
The lead dev has been verified by a external source :
http://www.coinssource.com/crypto-coins/keycoin/To achieve the maximum trust rating they had to provide:
- Email address – Verified email address (1 point)
- Bitcointalk forum ID – Verify by private message or post if the account is greater than 3 months old (1 point)
- Social media – Verify by a Tweet, post to Coins Source’s timeline on Facebook or a private message via social media (1 point)
- Mobile phone – Verify by text message (1 point)
- Mailing address – Verify by post card (we send a post card and you send us a code that will be on the post card via email) (1 point)
- State ID or license – Send us a photograph of your drivers license (2 points)
Im pretty sure they are only missing one point from their rating due to waiting for the snail mail to arrive and verify the code that was posted to them or that the webmaster is yet to update the rating.
I would also
hypothesise that the BCT account has more than one user. Done for clarity of communication, saves answering "who are you?" all the time. Devs post under a single dev account (as do many coins). I suspect its because mosts teams have programmers and what-not that specialise in certain areas and can post with greater clarity about their area of expertise.
So let me get this straight, on that site, you can gain trust just by owning an email account, owning a BCT account, owning a mobile phone, and owning a twitter account, sending a picture of a license etc, answering a letter etc? can you explain what kind of trust this actually builds? what is to stop me from creating a twitter account, an email account, a BCT account , buying a $20 phone, and finding a picture of a license online, paying some idiot to accept a letter for me? if I did all that would I all of a sudden be a trusted/verified dev? I don't think so. like you just said, that account is probably used by multiple people , yet they get one overall verification that doesn't seem very complete.
What previous projects has this lead dev worked on that makes him "verified"?
