It's Prom trying to promote his coin by being sloppy at best and deceptive at worst. Having Dan Metcalf connected in any way to a coin was known to boost popularity.

I'd go with sloppy. But, we must remember this was a casual conversation and we have very little context, so we are having to "guess" what was precisely meant.

So if this is the case, then why did Dan say that Prom was ethical in one of his statements?

Maybe because one swallow does not a summer make. If Prom was merely sloppy why would that make him unethical?

Also, how does Prom saying that Dan is the hal dev,

A more pertinent question might be why you put the word the in front of the words "hal dev". Prom did not say he was the hal dev. Go back and read it if you doubt me.

after he did a supposedly unbiased code review for Hal, help boost Hal's popularity? And this knowledge was not made public until now. You realize your argument does not make any sense right?

You will have to start again removing the word the

I'm not sure I agree that we really have to guess a whole lot with a statement such as "Dan is Hal dev".

If we want to get to the truth we should look at all the evidence, not cherry pick facts. Donn't you agree.
And important facts are that Dan was reviewing many coins codes and was never the developer of these coins. The obvious inference is that he reviewed the HAL code , as he did with many other coins.

You getting "Dan was a dev who was looking at Hal's code" out of that is a bit of a stretch.

Not at all. It is in line with what Dan did on many occaisions. He reviewed coins. Were you aware of that?

In one of the skype screenshots, Prom said:
"After SDC, would you guys be interested in working on a project with my Dev team?
Metcalf, West, and a few other anon devs"

So Prom talking about Blocknet. Is that surprising?

Quote

This shows that Prom and Dan had a much closer association than just simply Prom asking Dan to look at a code. As stated, they were a team. This is what I meant by "works together".

No it doesn't. And I don't think a reasonable person would jump to that conclusion if they looked at all the facts.
Can you give the context of that chat?
