Re: [ANN] [XEL] :: Elastic - The Decentralized Supercomputer ::

I saw this question on the Slack... it didn't get any answers and I have the same question myself so I thought I'd copy and paste it here:

hi all, i am really interested in this project but i am wondering - who "owns" elastic, i.e. not just who's the dev but who is going to be the "face" for elastic. the reason i ask is because i know that to get on bittrex, someone will need to verify their identity

I doubt Elastic devs will allow to disclose their identities, so if that's the requirement from exchange, then the exchange will probably lose their part of the precious fees from Elastic trading.
If Elastic market will be big enough I'm pretty sure such exchange will have to make an exception and list Elastic anyway, or they will just earn nothing.
After all, no one was requiring Satoshi ro reveal himself in order to get BTC listed right?

no body "owns" elastic...it is an open source project..anyone can join, contribute or be a part of it

You guys do realize that if nobody takes "ownership" of Elastic (i.e. nobody wants to reveal their identity) then that prevents XEL from ever being traded on the only exchanges that matter - Poloniex and Bittrex

It's gonna be kinda hard to hit that 100 million dollar marketcap trading on Yobit and Bitcointalk threads.

I seriously doubt there will be any issue with having the coin listed on a major exchange. With that being said, there are many other trustworthy exchanges (no, not yobit) that can step up to the plate. Tuxexchange is a really nice one, imo. Beyond that, there are decentralized exchanges now. I wouldn't worry about the exchange problems whatsoever.

I am not core dev like @ek, but I am an another contributor. I will apply for exchange.I can share my identity without any worry. I believe to elastic.

That would be great, would be smart to reach out to Bill from Bittrex on Telegram or their slack. They are quite busy though.
