I'm not completely familiar on the matter, but I will say from previously meeting Hive account@blocktrades at SF1 & SF2, he is a stand up person and we wouldn't even be here without his participation back to the early basement days and then when I got apart of the team and we got upgraded above a hardware store! :)

With that said, I do believe when we look at LEO there is a great deal of transparency with the developments. There is a great public face to the developments, LEO even has a face to the leader. People like those sort of things when they are investing.

HIVE on the other hand is not lead by one person/or tight group like LEO. Not that is a bad thing, it just is "what it is".

I actually have no issues that one doesn't want to be a public face, maybe a suggestion is that someone or a small group should step up to be the face -- this would in my mind put a great new direction. If you look at LEO they have nailed this, and there is some great truth in this.
