For an ecosystem that champions individualism, decentralized control, and anonymity - the trend of forcing people to deobfuscate themselves by joining a project's Slack is just plain against what many in the community want out of crypto projects.

Pseudonymity, not anonymity, rather a crucial difference - coins101 is on slack, how does that deobfuscate his identity? How are developers supposed to contribute to github repository code without having accounts on github? Does that also deobfuscate them?

HLM already can link SPR history to HLM, and now you want to force people to link email accounts/handles even more so? And you attack people who don't want to participate in that system of centralized power over information? Shameful, selfish, and short-sighted.

Thank you for making my point: ill-informed and grumpy.

Cheers

How do I get on Slack without registering an email? How do I read Slack without registering? Once I connect to your instance, you can get my IP - so I should now be on VPNs to get a quick update, too? Sheesh. Yes, contributing to a github definitely contributes to deobfuscation, I assume you've never doxxed people eh? Crumbs add up. Furthermore it's their choice - you're not giving investors/community members a choice, you're forcing them into your walled garden when it's completely not required. You could be doing bare minimum of community outreach to public channels but you choose not to.

Holing up in a private club that can't be viewed publicly, having a "community manager" that never communicates publicly, pretending you don't know what insider trading is, and now mocking your supporters when they don't want to march to your exact drum... gee what's there to be so excited about? You're starting to remind me of a certain other g- user, sir, if you catch my drift.

The level of smugness and dismissal from the HLM team prior to and then after the snapshot is a night and day difference. Can't imagine why. Roll Eyes

If it looks like a duck, and quacks like a duck...

If you're such a crack dev team why don't you have a bot that can take pinned items and post them to bitcointalk with something like WebDriver, it's not that hard. Or hell, use pastebin/twitter APIs if you really want to avoid BTCtalk? Why do you outright refuse public sharing of news? I could do a working build of such a bot for you in an hour or two if you'd like. But again, actually developing real tools or being transparent and open to the community is clearly not a priority in HLM. Where have we seen this before, hmm? So happy I only converted 10% of my SPR to HLM and profited on the pump instead, as it's looking more and more like that's what the point of this was.

Ugly stuff as always.. classic cinogrin.
Who told you everybody has to care about your anonymity? Use VPNs, onions etc and obfusckate yourself as much as you want.
When you walk down the street do you ask people to look the other way so they don't see you? Why should people do that for you online?
It seems like is time for another post purge, don't you think cinogrin?

I started leaving posts because everybody bitched that I purge them lol, so which is it? The rest of your questions are silly. They're a fork of DarkCoin which is focused on privacy. Most crypto projects are focused on decentralization on top of that. I don't need people tracking my identity online when vast sums of money are involved. I've had one dev of a project try to track me down and threaten my family once, with the goal of extorting me and stopping me from calling out his scam. Luckily I won in the end and ended up being instrumental in doxxing his true identity, that put a stop to that, he ran for the hills and his scam was revealed to be everything I claimed it was for the months leading up to it. I don't take theses issues lightly, feel free to if you're working with pocket change and don't have much to lose. Walking down the street is entirely different, nobody can discern financial standing from me on the street, nor can they gather meaningful information that can be used to fuck with me - you are WAY more anonymous on the street than online, so not sure why that was even mentioned. What can I say, I'm an idealist, and I expect more from people who call themselves professionals.

Most of their followers won't know to jump through so many hoops to avoid being data-mined and exposing themselves to exploitation, and it's unprofessional and just plain lazy to not take very simple steps to provide their community with publicly available information. Especially on a team of "skilled coders" and one that employs a "community manager" - what a joke.
