well the timing is pretty weird which is why i thought it could be GAW project that they abandoned later on. possibly paid for freelance work just like paycoingateway but it didnt pan out with the shares thing

Check that guys post history. He already has 2 shitcoins of his own (with their own Counterparty clones on top!) and Counterparty clones on various other coins, including one on the BTC blockchain which is truly mind boggling for obvious reasons. So initially I figured he just saw it as another blockchain he should do the same thing on for whatever convoluted reasoning he has. Not sure if spending much time digging down this particular rabbit hole will lead to much but their might be a connection.

His forum does have the same layout as hashtalk though which is odd. Wonder if that means anything or if its a coincidence and GAW and this guy paid the same third party to design and launch their forums?

This guy is obviously stupid, speaks to people in an arrogant and condescending manner, and has a massively inflated sense of self importance. So at the very least him and Homero are two peas in a pod.

I remember the Paycoin whitepaper promised (among many many others things) features which are typically associated with all the crypto 2.0's such as Counterparty, NXT, BitShares, etc. So I suppose it's plausible Homero saw cloning Counterparty on the XPY blockchain as the easy way to deliver that and hired this guy to do freelance work. If it was Homero behind it though, I wonder why he would let it be abandoned. Seems like the perfect opportunity to create easy hype and get all his drones to burn their XPY instead of dumping them, leaving that much more sweet sweet BTC for him to swipe.
