It's not a problem if marketing starts behind the curtain. I can only guess that your are looking for partners and "investors" that have some more weight than the average person. That's ok. And yes, I don't expexct that you will comment on that topic.
But at some point you to leave the backstage room. You know, for me it is sometimes very hard to see such a great project and at the same time thinking this and that could be done in a better way. I started with Zoin, participated at the claimed NIX airdrop and it is a pleasure to see what you have already achieved. Having no information what happens behind the curtain makes it sometimes very hard.

I understand that Curtis decided not to mention Silk Road in the description. However, it is the NIX Platform website and visitors don't have the information why Silk Road is not mentioned. But they will google his name and will find out that he was part of the Silk Road team and that gives the impression that you wanted to hide this information. But anyway, you can discuss it with your team.
