my guess for identity is Andrew Dryga. looks like he's Ukrainian. but i'm not sure. https://medium.com/nebo-15/designing-a-p2p-lending-platform-with-elixir-in-mind-ffb323bf7252
"i'm designing a peer to peer platform with elixir in mind." that was written in July. seems like case closed on that one.
talking about how the app and token will function is what we're supposed to be doing. squashing all conversation about it because it feels threatening for whatever reason is not what we're supposed to be doing. how does the inflation work. how does the interest on loans work. how much am i paid in elix if i make a loan. if you want to start a business and you need funding you have to be able to explain your idea.
Unbelievable :-) A couple of days it was linked to Mark Vernon (

But yeah, if you have so many concerns at this stage just get to the discord and interact with the Dev's! They are most of the time online in the PST timezone
Many concerns you are airing have been addressed already.
Btw, Elix was airdropped and not ICO'd so there was no premature funding for this project. For all those visitors who would like to address honest concerns visit discord or telegram and put your questions up to the Dev team.
