Why is Poramin open about his identity on Vertcoin's domain registration yet guards it under Zerovert?
Why did the Poramin username just pop up on bitcointalk and created on October 26th?
Why have we not heard anything in the official Vertcoin thread?
If Poramin really is behind this would he confirm it on his linkedin or facebook? Or update his own Vertcoin thread?
Sorry but it's all really fishy to me.
I agree, without offical confirmation from the Vertcoin dev team members mentioned in the OP. Then I would be very careful before installing any closed source software released from a newbie account.
