... nobody here can even present as a fact this person is not as many suspect PV ...
Could you present as fact that this person is indeed PV? Do you have proof? I would like to see it please. Thank you.
Last thing you want is your project branded a scam before it starts. It looks and sounds rather promising in some ways.
Again, you are free to do so.
As for the previous ICO, any investor should be able to easily prove their participation. They can sign from the bitcoin address that they sent to an ICO address. However, this dev no longer has any access to the database.
If you are at the top of a building and decide to jump, it is not my fault is it? I'm just watching you from the street.
With regard it being the same person as PV an MANY are speculating and suggesting ...considering the position he is in right now the onus is not on me to prove he is the same person. It is for him to install confidence by proving he is not the same person.
Whilst on the point of this.... if like he says he never met the other developer in person but they had worked on projects before and now on PV....there must be reams of chat logs between the two on various mediums. Let's see this. I mean what is there to hide. Although it will not be concrete proof they are different people it will be annoying to have to construct 100000's of words of conversations they had over chat protocols discussing the PV project.
I don't see your analogy as being in anyway analagous to the situation I am referring too.
Anyway let's watch and see how this goes.
I would like to ask you one serious question though.
When you say you have reason to believe they are different persons... what causes you to believe this?
