Well, the wall of text was saying that they have open hangouts that anyone can join in on. I was trying to let people know they could do that and get questions answered without having to reveal who they are in real life, or even who they are over here. I was also trying to say that they don't shut stuff down like Garza did.

My opinion of the XPY folks has changed. (NOT Garza and NOT Cantor Fitzgerald) I've never really cared about the coin either way except that they don't do something stupid like fork to 'delete' coins or start doing a 'we hate him, so we'll make his coins useless' thing. Technology needs to stay pure and settle your social issues in social ways. Either get them prosecuted or chase them down with a pitchfork... but don't throw tech at a social based (bad actor thing) problem. NOW, had they done that, tried to turn a crypto into a social solution thing, you would hear me ranting to high heavens.

I understand that you might not want to hear their side and I don't fault you for that. But, in the end, there are a LOT of people who were directly damaged by this scam. Now, the survivors are joining together to try to make all those little strings of letters actually have some value. Can you blame them for that? Could you imagine what it would feel like to have plunked down $50k worth of anything (USD, BTC, ) for "coins" that are now worth maybe $15?  It has to make some of them physically ill. (I understand that for some of them, that's not even a weekend's play money... but for others, that has to be a serious amount of money).  Not only did they put up the money (say it was $50k).. but they had weeks believing that asshole and imagining that they were going to have any money problems solved in a significant way...

Then it all went to shit. Not just shit, but shit in the middle of the shit storm that was flying around the interwebz with everyone from all sides making claims and accusations about anything and everything and Garza, the one that talked them into it, still saying that everything was going to be great and that "if it were a scam, wouldn't he have run already?"... that is some f*d up shit he pulled.

So, yes... I guess you could say that I respect the survivors (who would probably be pissed to be called that) for trying to turn those little alphanumeric strings back into something of value. And, I'm willing to give them credit for putting out xpy.io that seems to be functional. I think the hedgers thing is a new approach to getting more BTC into the environment, so that would, theoretically, help increase the XPY price from an 'economics' point of view. But, if the price of XPY doesn't go up, they won't be selling too many of them.

TL/DR: I can respect that you don't respect them. I just have a different opinion.
