In my opinion, this coin being listed on c-cex, the dev (or their representatives) having contacted c-cex (or not), c-cex approving the code, the dev being somehow renowed, the address having 50, 100 or 1000 BTC seem all irrelevant to establish trust within the community.
To me, what seems relevant is:
- A reputable escrow (even though it seems projects turned out to be scams even with that).
- A code base (a github account).
- A technical (white) paper.
For the time being, none of what I mentioned above seem to be satisfied (please correct me if I missed something).
Here are examples of recent crowdsales on c-cex:

I am not saying this project will turn out like those ... These are just examples of projects that lacked escrow, code and a technical paper.
