The People Behind EverCoin
I'm happy to see people on this board looking at our service with suspicion, this is normal and the community needs to protect itself from scammers. We do show our own faces and linkedin profiles on the front page of our exchange. Yes, it is possible that people are just using the identities of others. We are obviously not so prominent or famous but I do have a number of fairly prominent people in crypto who could vouch for us or who have met us including general partners at Pantera Capital, Jackson Palmer, originator of Dogecoin, Robert CEO of ZenCash, Zooko from Zcash and many others. I know these aren't necessarily the gods of crypto like Vitalik Buterin, but I havent met him so he can't say if I'm a real person or not. I am one of the organizers of the SF Advanced Crypto Asset Trading group and Crypto Underground meetup, so 3500 people in that community know who I am at some level. Anyhow, I welcome the suspicion, I hate scammers as much as anyone and feel like everyone who asks you to "send bitcoin to this address" deserves to be checked out. I've been in Silicon Valley for 25 years working in tech.

How to start
As with any crypto service, start small. Just try a very small transaction to see how the system behaves. It's a fully functional system, so you'll immediately get the feeling of that. And yes, do your homework.
At the moment there are two steps if you want to view a Build Scan, one is to add the plugin and the other is to add -DScan to the command line. Data doesn't go anywhere unless you have explicitly done both of those things. If you're curious how this works look here https://gradle.com/whats-new-gradle/
He actually meant "Kotlin instead of Apache Groovy". Groovy joined the Apache Software Foundation last November (2015), and its name should be qualified with the "Apache" brand on first use in a new context such as a webpage. Groovy joined the ASF after the 6 developers working on it and Grails were retrenched by VMware in March last year, and they couldn't find any other business to support their work on Groovy.
