We can't know for sure if he is BCNext, I personally think its very possible, too many similarities in how he operates.
what similarities, you fairytale teller
Ill give you a cut and paste cause from somone else, that's all you deserve you well known Qora Troll. Whats your game, you support Qora at one end and troll it at the other? You might think you are smart but even if you do get cheap coins you do damage with your FUD. Some odd people with odd ideas on here.
***Thank you for your thoughtful response. The dev has shown himself to be a genius through his work on Qora thus far or does he have other credentials? I have heard the rumor that he is in fact BCNxt. Is that still just a rumor?
Yep. I don't think we will ever find out. Most importantly that the patter is the same. Instead of years of development we got the coin within a couple of month and had 7 new versions of the client since then. We'll have v9.0 by the end of the week and the opportunity to vote what features shoud be implemented next.
As for Qora/BCNext:
1. He write "can not" instead of "cannot".
2. He doesn't worry about a nice logo, website, even open topic look. ANN topic was one of the ugliest OP on the forum. The same as Nxt's.
3. He doesn't spend a lot of time on the forum, but coding instead. He even missed IPO closing! So he's super focused on the code.
4. He is European.
5. He invented new POS algorithm.
6. He's working on anonymous transactions.
7. He postponed IPO because he didn't want to have the same problem that Nxt has.
8. Both Qora and Nxt have great names. Qora sounds awesome, Nxt was the right name for the first 2nd gen coin. So equally great.
9. He never denied he's not the same person.
10. BCNext's original hero account (one of NXTers guess) was again abandoned and 2 weeks later - there was a Qora.
11. As for the distribution - mining is lame, it is better to have IPO whales who can easily provide bounties for future development and marketing.****
