Hidden team members or not make any difference?

[Eddyc]

Unfortunately there is an assimilation between the project and the team, the success of the project affects the strength of the team. I'm only mentioning the result and we must not emphasize the quality of the team. However, it's very relative to say that a team guarantees the result of a project or that it affects development. There are several projects where only Dev works and has great results.

Visible team members add more credibility to a new project than going anonymous, anonymous teams only brings doubts I advice every developers to stop such act, if you are really prepared for your project and you want the best for the project j don't see any reason to hide your faces.

First, what are the projects they offer? what is their technology and where do they get the credibility of the project? There are some great projects whose teams are anonymous, but they clearly offer innovative technology and solutions. and some reputable people recognize the technology. However, the story is different if it is just a project with an anonymous team without credibility, without transparency and without clear technology, it is definitely a big NO.

hidden or not hidden they are just the same. most of them will run away with the investors money some will just leave and stop the project in the middle most of them just wanted an easy profit but not all of them are scammers some rare projects are really doing good.

More than the team members the core of the project is much important. When the project has good thing, automatically there'll be growth. The team member's role is to gain more trust to the project. In order to gain trust it is a must to have some reputed members on the team. This is where the team gets importance, apart from this the project is valued on various other aspects.

I'd give face to visible team members than projects with invincible team members, if the project with invincible team members decide to run the project with ICO or any crowdfunding then I will gladly give a try, if not I will pass by immediately, it makes no sense when teams hide in the dark

[Kvalentine]

Aren't they all birds of the same feathers? This days scammers will gladly come out in the open with their scam projects and still end up deceiving investors, you are the only one that can fight for yourself, with good researching skill you can avoid scam projects easily

[DDante]

Don't understands projects with anonymous teams, not all of them are crap projects, some have very good use case and they are among the top best altcoins on coinmarketcap, all you should do is do your own research first before judging, you might miss out on a wonderful project

there is a big difference between hidden team members and no team members . I think it's not possible to create a projects without a team members . Who did create the project if there's no team behind it but you mean to say that they don't show thier face but what are shown are some Random images with thier names or sometimes it can't be thier real names but this looks annoying  . They don't need to hide if they are serious and trust worthy ,this kills the projects potential .

Bitcoin is created anonymously but founder is actively comunicating on this forum and earned the trust of the people on here. If only no scams were reported having an anonymous team can still be allowed

[Atang Sulaeman]

if there is a hidden team or a team that is certain, if at first you want to commit fraud, it will definitely cheat and only steal investors' money, but if on the other hand there is a team or there is no team if you intend to make changes for the progress of the project it will definitely move forward to success and mutual benefits for investors, owners and bounty hunters.

I only think that for the ICO project, no team/hidden team means scam.
Scammers who didn't hide their identity? really? As far as I know, they steal other people's identities and make those people as the team, bt that was fake. And this is really often happening in ICO projects. Although it depends on each project, for me, a real team, trusted team, reputable le and also professional team will be better.

[puremage111]

IT really depends tbh
Of course team that is revealed had more credibility

But Look at Bitcoin, it proofs that Hidden Team Member can create something too
Anyhow another thing to note is, Even a revealed Team can exit scam by declaring their project fail and goes missing

[lixer]

Only a few ICOs have I seen that are scammers and showing their face, and at the end of it all they still got caught. And some of them were not really caught , but due to some kind of financial issues and they happened to fall. Most scam projects prefers to hide their identity, and if they can’t be anonymous with the project they are launching, they will try to do what’s called impersonation, pretending to be who they are not.

I have seen so many scam projects that people later trace their team members only to find out that they are not the real people, but just scammers pretending to be people who have no single idea about the project.

"Hidden" and "not part of it" are very important differences. If there is hidden team members and they are actively doing something to the project non-stop and they try to meddle with the code of it, that means I will never be part of it, why would I be part of something that some stranger unknown person can change whatever they want with it?

However there are projects where teams build it, but make it in a way that it actually changes according to users, so after the public release aside from the fact that they own a lot of it, there are teams who never do anything to the project, we as the people are in charge of that project, teams job is done and they will no longer code it or try to make any changes, at that point they could be hidden and since they are not meddling with it, I don't care.

In fact, Bitcoin and Ethereum represent the differences we are discussing. We all know the existence of Vitalik Buterin, starting from his citizenship, school history, education and other published personal data. But we really lack knowledge about Satoshi Nakamoto and the people within his circle. The creator only appeared on the internet when Bitcoin was released until 1 year later. And we see now, BTC is King and ETH is Queen. We all agree that the profile of the team driving the project, doesn't matter anymore. However, this only applies to Kings and Queens.

For a new project who are still babies, the availability of a public team profile certainly greatly boosts public confidence in the project being raised to the surface.

[InwardContour]

It's not wrong to go fully anonymous if the team aren't going to ask for crowdfunding like ICO or IEO, there are few projects that have anonymous team and they have very good blockchain problems to solve, the only thing that doesn't sound right is if the team needs fund through ICO or IEO and still go anonymous

This is absolutely correct, I wonder why team members of projects doing token sales will decide to be anonymous and people will still invest, it really baffles me. If they just decide to do an airdrop without token sale, then its ok or if they decide to do a product without launching native tokens. Most scams recently (especially DEFI scams) are related to projects with anonymous team members. I do invest only in projects with known team members and not only that, there must also be very good projects backings showing project is legit.

Numerous tasks there are with counterfeit groups. They utilize counterfeit photographs, appoint names to them, and regardless of whether once in a while there are genuine individuals who are well known in the realm of digital currencies, these individuals don't know about their support in fake activities. While with clear, straightforward and genuine groups possessed undertakings regardless of whether a venture ranges to such a point where it is extremely unlikely forward the group prior to shutting appropriates every one of its property with the financial specialists and token holders or we have seen liquidations where speculators have gotten full or incomplete discounts.

[FireBallex]

It doesn't add to a the reputation of a project when team decide to stay hidden, it makes no sense to me, if the team are full of confidence about what they plan to introduce to crypto users they don't need to go anonymous, it makes no sense

[FireBallex]

Now that many new projects are complete scam projects using anonymous team will scare many investors away thinking that the project is from scammers, even if a project is a privacy coin now days it's just better to let your investor know more about you

[Ryushin]

I won't avoid a project because it's team members are anonymous, why don't you check it's use case or utility out first? Some projects with anonymous teams have shown better results than many projects with teams that show their faces to the worldthe concepts of projects is more important than anonymous or not
