Project Advice Needed: Is Using Alt Accounts A Good Idea?

I have started to dig into the project of Steem integration into OpenBazaar and I wonder if I should start a dedicated account to garner donations and delegation for the project as well as provide project specific updates and news.

The problem with using my account and reasons I think I should use a dedicated one for the project.

I think using my DiggnDeeper account complicates things because I cover a wide array of subjects and I don't know that people would be so willing to donate or delegate to this account when it could be unclear and difficult to keep things straight when it comes to what I want to vote for on this account compared to what should be voted for in a dedicated, project-specific account.

Using a dedicated account would be very transparent.

People could easily see exactly where all the votes and transactions are going. Updates would be completely project specific.

Potential downside of dedicated account

A dedicated account would have to rise through the ranks like any new account. This account has a pretty decent amount of followers and reputatoin and also at least some amount of history.

I would need to let the people that have already shown interest know that there will be a new account to follow, vote and or delegate. Not a big deal.

Precedence?

Is there any precedence in doing anything like this for development and fundraising?

You have been infected by the King of Disease!

Will you quarantine yourself?

Or will you spread the plague?

Yes definitely use an alt account for the project - all round tidier.

Thank you for the input. I agree.
This is the new account. Updates forthcoming!

I think many people create project accounts. I have this myself and know some others that have.

I have about 15 accounts for different projects. Personally, I'd say you're way good. It makes perfect sense from a branding standpoint.

Thank you! I appreciate the comment. I think it makes sense too.
