What really bothers me is the lack of transparency and accountability.

The fact that the dev team ('hive team') are known only by nicknames is pathetic, and I think it is intolerable in  a serious project.

Now, we got to know that a guy whose only identification is 'Markus (msg768)' has blackmailed the entire project.

I would not support any project, unless I could know who are each member of the team, name and surname, one picture, means of contact and at least a short bio.

Otherwise, it sounds like a teenagers' adventure, not a serious project at all.
