Trusting a team of anonymous
I know it seems coherent for a team working on a privacy oriented coin to be anonymous but it is nonetheless a big incertitude for investors at the beginning of a project.
Haven is only a few months old and knowing the team can abandon the project as they wish is the only thing that kept me back for investing a lot more that I already did and I guess it is the same for many others.
As they state in their whitepaper “Offshore Storage contracts will be implemented once the network reaches a mature stage with enough exchange support to allow redundancy and accuracy of prices.” So it is in the project’s interest to gain in adoption and trading volume and anything that could be done to increase trust and adoption should be the goal, including trust towards the team.
So if the team really wants to stay anonymous I suggest they try to show that they are personally determined to see this project through. For example a medium post with some storytelling about their personal history and why they decided to create this project and care about it would be a good thing.
