Do you have evidence that it was intentional?
Yes:
Releasing crippled miners without checking them first but claiming to be honest and have integrity doesn't fit. Either they fucked up, something they will never admit, because only Evan Duffield has the moral integrity to admit to that. Or, and that's the only remaining possibility: It was intentional. There is your evidence.
^ Look carefully. Do you see any evidence of intent?
Wrong. No one represented that it had been checked, nor promised to do so. The reasons for the forking of the repo were clearly stated at the time, and they did not include anyone stepping up to volunteer to do code reviews. There weren't even any real developers, until later, when the group organized to do so. No one was misled in any way at any point in the process.
So a group of incompetent people "too lazy" (which is the gist of your excuse here) to check the scam code they just cloned
(and they KNEW it was scam code from day 0) is definitely "no scam", but one guy launching a coin by himself, all alone and in his spare-time with buggy but proven non-scammy Litecoin code definitely is!
Clearly no intent here, no sir!
Pathetic.
Monero should relaunch because of a) the despicable botnet mining it clearly endorses and b) the even more despicable intentional cripplemining scam at the beginning.
