We believe developers can only be verified by public knowledge. Other services will accept payment to keep the developers identities private, yet claim to have verified the developer as a real person. This logic doesn't make sense to us because, for the public, there is no way to know who the developer is (and therefore no idea who you are investing in). In this sense, developer verification is useless to the public because you are meant to trust that 1 person has verified this. In the past, scam artists have gotten around this by tricking this 1 person with a fake ID. Once it is reported that they have been scammed by a fake ID it's too late. Investors have lost money and on top of that, the scam developers have paid to keep their information private anyway. So who side is the POD on? Typically these other services will remove the verification from their website like it never happened. We will not take part in this type of verification. We would like the community to verify our developers.
Our verification is based on 1 simple fact: whether they are anonymous or not. In no way are we grading the quality of a coin (different section for that). We are simply providing anonymity information. There is no scale on how verified a developer is. They are either open to the public (pass) or they want to hide their identities (fail). You are either one or the other, you can't be "in-between".
That being said, Developer Verification for GlowShares [GSX] is up on our site. Please let us know what you guys think:
