Note I asked CfB if we could be contacts on LinkedIn, and he doesn't maintain a LinkedIn profile. What professional programmer these days doesn't maintain a LinkedIn profile. For public figure and to have a solid reputation, I think this is a must. Who is this David that is the principle behind Iota? What is his history and background?

This altcoin arena is dominated by scams because we don't demand that the lead developers are public figures and responsible for opening themselves up to scrutiny. We have no idea what these developers have accomplished in the real world over their careers.

I became more amenable to Monero, when fluffypony was shown on video recently at the Satoshi Roundtable. But I still lack information about the Monero devs backgrounds and history.

I think we should all demand our developers come out from the shadows and put themselves at-risk of public scruntiny.


Edit: the major pumpers of a coin, e.g. qwizzie, should also make their LinkedIn profiles available. Does Evan @ Dash have a LinkedIn profile?
