There are no allegations directed at OkayNow but, given the history of con jobs in cryptos, it is recommended to refrain from donating XEM to him until he implements a cosigned address with a trusted member of the community
Let me answer that non-allegation with a non-allegation. Judging by your past, and the allegations against you by far too many people on this forum, it is kinda funny for you to imply that "although there is nothing wrong, don't trust this guy".
There is no need to trust me with funds, users can follow the giveaway and donate to newcomers themselves, as it is stated in the announcement you quoted.
Just to be clear.
it should be noted that he [OkayNow] is not an official part of the NEM development team, nor will any of the funds given to him be overseen by the NEM development or marketing team.
The above statement is true, i am not a member of the development team, and the Core Team/Dev team/Marketing team has absolutely no oversight in the funds. This is a community driven project, completely independent by the "NEM Central HQ".
More importantly, the giveaway is sponsored by funds coming from my private stake along with donations by community members.
All funds held by the official NEM team are always held in multisig by at least 4 trusted members of the NEM team.
I have statements from 3 members denying to use PGP to secure themselves, and one of them saying that PGP signatures can't prove anything. Who would trust a person to secure anything if he can't grasp basic principles? My healthy paranoia does not allow me to do so.
I encourage others to stop relying in the central guidance of the Core Team and do their part for NEM. An active community is the only way for NEM to move forward.
Time after time in crypto computers are often hacked or passwords compromised. This story is one we are all tired of in crypto and is one that I hope NEM can avoid, so as I security precaution I would encourage OkayNow to put the funds already donated to him in multisig with other trusted and known community members.
The above statement is also true. Keep in mind that time after time, when these hacks occur, they tend to happen within the various "Core Teams", or "asset managers".
Let me close by saying this: It is a foolish act to bring this confrontation in here. NEM can only lose by such confrontations, especially in an environment like BTT.
You are essentially saying that every and any individual that wants to help NEM can only do that by trusting the Core Team, how smart is that?
Pretending that the so called "core team" is some sort of "untouchables", while they are using their sockpuppets to downvote a giveaway they disagree with is beyond reason.
I encourage you to publish the giveaway held in the
NEM Community subreddit as far and wide as you can, so that all of NEM can benefit from it.
Publish the giveaway on the NEM facebook page, use the NEM twitter account and put up a link over at the "official Core Dev Team" subreddit pointing towards the
NEM Community subreddit thread announcing the giveaway.
I also encourage users to do so themselves on their facebook pages, twitter accounts, G+ or whatever social media it is you are using.
The more exposure NEM receives, the faster the community will grow.
