He didn't get a bitcoin core dev.  He got a friend of his who is knowledgable.  Considering that CryptoClub is a huge proponent of HZ and has been a part of that community from close to the beginning, I am presuming he got someone from that project to take a look.

He further promised a report (like he was/is an authority able to delegate like that) and that never happened.

His words have nothing to do with the project anyway and discussing his uninvited and perhaps presumptious talking points is an exercise in 'wheel spinning'.

My two cents.

Not sure if I mentioned it here, but a Bitcoin dev I know is doing a code review for Vanillacoin. Funny thing, he was commenting in my group about some other coin he didn't approve of code-wise, and I explained I can't really do code reviews and I just go on the fundamentals. Anyway, he want's to help out the crypto scene and is working on the code review for Vanillacoin. Super technical and it will be a paper, but what I know so far is it definitely isn't a scam based on sheer amount of work, and he agrees it "shines" compared to most alts. He had some pros and cons, and I tried to explain it was still in progress and being worked on. Anyway, it was good enough news that I bought more.

When it is done I will publish on my website cryptocollectorsclub.com, and in the group link at the bottom of my sig. I asked him to do SDC next just as I have always been curious how good or bad the code is on that as well.
