Nope. The dev and coin I'm talking about were a real deal but something strange happened. He was also testing the main feature on testnet but then just disappeared and a dump followed.
Which coin?
It was probably a clone, not a complete rewrite that had been worked on for over a year before launch.
Not the same situation, I know the coin and avoided that one as I knew it was a scam. There is controversy with this coin as new ideas are being tried, and some disagree on it, but that is what testing is about, to see who is right and if patches are needed. (all coins have challenges) I had someone pro check the code, and we agreed there was way too much work for it to be a scam. Nobody works 6-12 months on something that isn't real, night after night, and I am willing to bet on that with a good deal of confidence. Anyone that has ever worked that much on something understands.
