This is a good idea; it just re-assures new people. All of us who've been around know the devs are real.
Also, FYI the Clustercoin dev refused to give POD and vanished after the ICO instadump. People will be thinking about that if Panda just refuses to provide one.
FUDsters will ride that horse until it dies.
Best to just get one ...
For us in here or part of the "crypto community" this is true. For the people from the general public Panda wants to target, they'll stumble into Bitcointalk, see the 5 red shields and feel OK to see if this new Panda coin stuff really works at the grocery store like that guy at work says ...
People like that will run for the hills if they wander onto a forum page full of FUD unless they can say to themselves, "Well, that Asian fellow says Panda is alright and the computer nerds at work say if that guy gives his mark then there's nothing to worry about. Kind of like Carfax and that Gecko guy. These negative nellies must just have a problem or something. I'm going down to Panda Express and use my Panda coin to get some potstickers gosh darnit. Can't believe this is really money."
