Glad to have you here @toast, I enjoy reading your posts on Reddit.
I think that’s significantly understating the intentions of his post. There was very clearly discussion about how this would hurt our branding on search engines between Dan and Stan Larimer.
I hate the sensational headline, but how else are search engines going to find this information for people who are trying to do their own investment research? Burying the information where Google won’t find it is the same as hiding the truth from folks who might otherwise get hurt.
Several of us have pointed out that there is no absence of truly legitimate fraud (BitBay, Cryptodouble, and plenty of others) occurring that has gone ignored by Dan’s blog. The post also occurred on one of our largest one-day price gains for NuShares; hardly a coincidence.
I understand you’re on our forum to provide marketing spin on the post, but we’re not buying that version of events. It’s well worth noting that the original URL of Dan’s blog post remains, where we are directly accused of fraud. That will continue to be an obstacle for us to overcome in Google search results.
With the evidence provided, do you really think that Dan posted that uninformed attack solely out of concern for users who are trying our NuBits experiment?
Jordan obviously speaks for himself, but I’m not sure what purpose this would serve. Dan clearly didn’t bother to read our publicly available materials and forum before posting his article (we saw his internal request for further research after the blog post). Many of our team members have already said privately that we’re content to keep our heads down and continue building functional tools that benefit our users.
All that aside, I hope you continue to contribute on our forum, even if it’s as a dissenting opinion. If you read back through our forum history, you’ll see that we take pride in critiquing problems and trying to find solutions for them. From what I can tell, that matches your approach to digital currencies quite well.
