As Bittrex is the main exchange that this coin trades on my focus is solely on the distribution chart there. As for who may hold what or what their intentions may be I can't say but my hopes are that these folks who are accumulating HAP know something that the rest of us don't.
Yea well reading back through this thread its obvious the user 'hashpay' is simply the 'mouthpiece' for the dev behind this coin. As to why 'hashpay' hasnt posted, no-one knows it seems, though it could simply be there is no news to share. Maybe the dev is 'out of action' for now for some reason. We can only surmise. I still find it somewhat disconcerting that 'hashpay' hasnt posted anything since a major sell-off of coins that dropped the price significantly over a week ago. Like you, I'm hoping there is a very good legitimate reason for no new posts and continue to mine & hold.
