ICO's do that all the time.
Buy higher ranked accounts for them to be able to post images on this forum (back when copper ranked account hasn't been introduced yet)
But yeah, I guess transparency should be the first key to this project. IDEX should come clean and answer these accusations.
Anyways, ED got hacked recently.
Any assurances that this won't happen on IDEX too?
I'm the exact same person I was then and am today, this account was not purchased and I have nothing to hide. I mined bitcoin with ASICs in 2013-2014 and then stepped away from crypto for a couple years. I am not the CEO of Aurora. None of the accounts associated with the project have been bought. All social media and linkedin accounts are real, anyone on the project would be happy to hop on a video call with anyone, anytime. I would love to see the con artists FUDDing in this thread do the same, but I know they wouldn't.
Good question on the hack! We have secured our DNS servers with 2 factor auth and renewed passwords and cannot be hacked that way. Additionally, our core code is not open source so even if the site were taken it would be next to impossible to simulate the inner workings by the time we detected the hack and secured the site. Let me know if you have any more questions.
