Look like someone scam us
And with your vast crypto currency experience you say this because someone with a family and children didn't come and hold our hand while the chain forked?
How exactly have you or anyone been ....'the S word' ed.
Accumulate an almost dead coin, announce a takeover, put a buy wall, announce improvements, launch a new ANN thread with innovation and promise a whitepaper, less than 24 hours later it forks, no updates, no fix, someone from the community finds a fix and yet no replies, don't say a thing for 2 weeks and counting ... (not even a simple "I'm busy") ...
To me, if there was intention, there is scam. So, option A, if vertoe never comes back, she is physically or mentally unable or there was intention (ergo scam), option B, if vertoe comes back, she has a real excuse (it's going to be difficult to explain this) or she gives us a lie (ergo scam).
I want to believe there is an explanation, but it looks fishy.
