Probably some months ago, have proofs about dev could be even a plus for a coin, but all of us know that even the coins with 4/5/6 or even 7 stars/shields POD, have had a dev that scammed his investors. I repeat myself saying that, if he says something about him could be interesting, but it's not the reason why I'll invest in a coin
The only reason why i invest in ico is to have many coins at low price.
Hold them for 2-3 weeks,and then choose if sell or not.
That's it. Simple.
Specially with a coin with low reward block at beginning. Too hard to mine.
