I understand why this note would be discouraging. But there are reasons for concern other than your insistence on remaining anonymous and that would not be addressed by verification of your identity alone. You’re not established in this community, but are asking people to spend up to $8,000 on a NFT for your project in a week or so. You state there are “people in EA who actually know my identity” but you haven’t provided any references of people respected in the community who could vouch for your skills, experience, trustworthiness, and suitability for this project. There does not seem to be a corporation with other accountable people behind this project.
I can’t determine if this is a scam or if you simply do not know how to engage and build trust with the community. If it is legitimate, you need a period of sustained engagement with the community about topics that do not involve providing you money. You need to convince people trusted within the community to handle the money during the early stages of the project, rather than asking the community to trust you with ~ six figures. Etc.
Finally, it is not the mods’ job to vet whether you are a fit and suitable person for members of the community to be entrusting $400-$8000 to, nor are they really qualified to do that. It is your task to convince the community you are trustworthy and suitable.
