Hi @gladiadorr I read your post and I have to clarify some things because you talk about accusations but no one has accused you and especially in my post there are no accusations but research and questions and in my post I also added your answer to give you a chance to defend yourself.
Nobody can say that you and elkaos are the same person but at the same time the doubts are there and you created them.
A long time ago I created a contest and to be fair I excluded all the people who were on Hive and I knew physically.
Your case:
- first you said you didn't know elkaos
- then you said you knew him physically
- you created a contest in which the most frequent winner was elkaos
- in your contest other alts from elkaos also won
- you did not care to research the participants in your contest but did so only after my request for explanation (and not accusation)
- you wrote posts similar to elkaos
- there is a transfer in SWAP.HIVE from elkaos to you previous to the beginning of your contests
No one accused you but the suspicions about you were created entirely by you and on this point you are not a victim.
Trust and transparency are important on Hive and in real life, they are hard to build and easy to destroy.
On these two points elkaos is not responsible but you because by stating that you do not know him you have undermined your credibility.
But no one is perfect, and every mistake can be a starting point for improvement, and I hope that what happened to you can be useful to you in the future.
If what you have written in this post is true, I am sure that in the future you will be more careful about getting involved with other people
i wish you the best
