I read through some of the thread and quite a bit of the chat logs, I have one big question. If Qora is completely trustworthy and honest, which he seems to be but also people believe he is, even refunding people for their recent loses. I don't get the speculation that he was BCNext the creator of NXT. What I don't understand is he knew people thought he was and he never denied it at all. If someone said I was someone else I wasn't I would quickly say and would feel like I'm lying by not denying it. So the question is Qora a bit sly and lying or is he BCNext?
I imagine one word from him hinting he was BCNext would send this coin into space. It makes some sense possibly as a more developed NXT base code. Or if he is not clearing up the wrong fact then he is not as honest as people think?
Do not mistake laying low, as being sly. Qora doesn't respond to much other than debelopment, and technical questions. If he was prolific then, maybe, your thoughts on this could have a little merit. However, being that Qora doesn't waste his time engaging all of the nonsense on here, I'm guessing he just doesn't care to respond (even if he were BCNext.)
Ultimately, for the sake of the coin, the originator doesn't matter. What matters are issues like stability, capablity, community involvement, extrnal audits, etc. Qora could be developed by Satoshi, BCNext, Linus Torvalds, Vladimir Putin, Reagan's ghost, aliens or even Elvis. It wouldn't matter, so long as the application/protocol were being actively supported by a growing community.
