Skywire mainnet is coming very soon, January maybe?
STOP SKYCOIN!
You mean 2018.
Is Synth anonymous or is his actual identity known?
Yeah, it might be in December huh.
Nowadays it's known. Early crypto years, everyone worried they would be assassinated by governments and stuff so they stayed user when working on crypto stuff.
Who is he? I've always been interested in Sky but that huge loss and the "kidnapping" stuff severely put me off of it and especially if he's only known by his "Synth" persona like Bruno with PRL it doesn't seem legit.
It is legit. You can find out his name pretty easily. He recently appeared at the malta blockchain conference. He has appeared as a speaker at many events. Crypto is full of scammers and bad actors. Synth is not the only person to have been kidnapped or attacked over crypto. The real world is a dangerous place. Crypto takes you into a world where you have to be the one who protects your own private keys. In order to protect yourself, you have to become able to perceive truth, and to do that you have to learn to read between the lines and see beneath the surface. Look to history for patterns.
