People are understandably wary of ICO and Crowd funded coins.
I propose from now on that any Dev wishing to launch such a coin should make their real name and contact details publicly available, If they have nothing to hide and don't intend ripping people off then there is no reason for them to stay anonymous.
Their coin may well fail, but if they've done the right thing in the first place then it drastically reduces the chance of it being a scam.
I'm sick and tired of peopling losing money here to greedy Dev's, personally I never have and never will invest in any ICO coin, but that's just because I preferred the old method of actually mining coins
I fully agree. If you are a serious professional and is committed to the launch of a crowdfunded venture, you are obligated to disclose your public identity. IE seems to have history of consistently earning the distrust and some substantial proof of his fraudulent behavior. At the very least, it proves a bad PR handling.
Some people, underdogs that they are, have been working hard and honestly but did not ever get the attention they deserved due to pump and dumps overshadowing the crypto scene this year.
Those same people have been public since they started on the crypto scene. Full identity disclosure, licensed and registered legally with documents to prove it all.
But they were ignored because of the fact that their professional approach didn't 'guarantee' enormous profits like pump and dump anonymous scams.
With the scene changing, it would be a very sad statement if IE was trying to manipulate the trust of the people and their desire for an open and public project with a fully public developer in order to conduct another dump scam on crypto.
The real honest people of crypto have been around since the start of their career with everything out in public. Going 'honest' now (even now he refuses to show his face on the video) sounds like a marketing gimmick at the very least, more likely a move to try and take advantage of the people's desperation to find an 'honest' project. Also, why is the comment section disabled in that video?
The coin is closed source. The dev has some dubious history. He is not public at all. His 'expertise' is in question with all the coins in the past that failed and is now forgotten as pump and dump coins on twitter and elsewhere. For an 'honest' dev, he has cut off too many lines of communication where he is supposed to give answers. It's his job to manage the venture.
Last of all, he is promoting himself as 'honest' all of a sudden when it's very convenient to do so. Real professionals and honest people have been at it quietly for months and years now with their public profile out in full view.
Too many red flags from a 3rd party point of view.
