Good Morning Everyone!
I would like to address the elephant in the room. The "Elephant" being the Helios Protocol and Pffrt's assertion that it "has" to be from the same people as Privcy.
1st I want to introduce exhibit A) the Contract address for Helios Protocol here 0xF5D714D9cd577b7dAF83f84aea37A1Eb0787e7aD As you can see the contract was created 313 days ago putting it at May 18th of last year. I believe Privcy started in June, and was a direct copy of Deep Onion.
2nd if you look at the whitepaper for the Helios protocol
https://heliosprotocol.io/ and compare it to the LAUGHABLE whitepaper of Privcy you'll notice that there is no way it could even remotely be the same developers. My 11 year old niece could have written a better whitepaper than Privcy (also their whitepaper came out maybe 3 months after all the hype. Which is all that Privcy was....just hype and it sucks because out of all that time I sold all my coins for a measly $80 a little while ago)
3rd With Privcy, you never knew who anyone was. The developers never let their names/faces be known. Helios Protocol does a bi-weekly video meeting and then places the meeting up on youtube for all to see along with their names, faces, email, linkedin profiles right on the website.
4th Helios Protocol has a weekly airdrop like many other coins/tokens, they don't ask that you post random nonsense on their BCT page or tweet about them saying how great they are or anything like that. Just to be in discord, chat a few times a week and maybe make it into the top 100 active members and you'll get 100 HLS. There are no bounties to be had, it's just the airdrop.
5th I Personally am the reason Vecstitch is on Helios Protocol. I invited him to join on January 7th of this year because he was one of the best people from Privcy. Even with the accusation going on I would do it again because he is actually a great person. So I implore you to not bash him please. Out of the entire team from Privcy he was always the most professional and kind to the community and believe he will be an asset to Helios Protocol. (You can also see when he joined by going to the discord and checking the date, or I can provide a SS if need be.)
6th For the last year Helios Protocol has been self funded by the team. We are trying to build something for everyone, by giving away free HLS for when the time comes and our mainnet is launched everyone can enjoy the dApps available without having to spend a dime.
Now I applaud Pffrt for trying to help everyone out, we are living in a dog eat dog world with crypto right now and you never know who or what you can trust. What he is doing is an honorable thing and you should all thank him for his time and efforts trying to steer you all in a good direction. I know I do, because we need more people like him. I am a firm believer in the saying "Trust but Verify" when looking into crypto projects. I have outlined some information I hope you all look into, to show that although the other two projects may be scams. Helios Protocol is far from it.
There is an open invitation for you all to check us out, my door is open. My information is on the Helios Protocol website (Mark Laporte, I'm also TheMoneyManager on discord) so feel free to message me and I'm happy to get back to you with any questions or concerns you may have!
I hope this helps you see for yourselves what is true and what is not.
