A website like this requires developer transparency not anonymity. That’s the point I’m trying to make the forum has nothing to do with it. If you’re not a reputable developer and you’re not well known. And you aren’t being really transparent. Good luck my friend this industry isn’t the Wild West anymore fella

I understand your point. I just don't think it would matter in the current topic since I'm asking cash traders what platform they use and what they don't like about it.

I still want to talk about your point because the fact that you distrust an anonymous developer is valid, so I'll tell you why I believe it it is better if I stay anonymous.

First, since this topic is about cash trades, I want to note that the platform has a really hands off approach on cash trades that is different than for online trades so the need for trusting the developer is small and you can check this topic if you want to know more about how we will offer cash trades : https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5318881.0

Now, looking at the online trades where some level of trust is required, let me explain better what we are developing.
The platform we are making is a decentralized one which allows traders to do Fiat to BTC trades with the help of a 2 of 3 multi-sig wallet. We decided to go decentralized because
a. we wanted traders in control of their finances (no custodian)
b. we wanted to create a better p2p trading experience while limiting the admin's involvement
c. we wanted to provide the world an unrestricted platform (for ex. no KYC)

We welcome all traders and offer them an intuitive system that favors the honest trader. We won't hold any of the traders' funds and it is free to post an offer and open a trade.

The platform itself will be open source so anyone can review the code and decide if they trust the system we built or not. The need to trust a developer is old thinking, I personally think, you need to check the code that is being run and make sure it is not tampered with.

Therefore, in order to make a reputable platform that still follows the logic of Bitcoin, we are making a platform that does not gain a reputation by the founders' real names but by the fact that it is open source and has an incentive to stay honest because of the platform fees it charges.

Please let me know if you are satisfied with the explanation or if you still disagree, Thanks.
