It looks like Elastic Project (XEL) is a scam.
They are doing a crowdsale here:
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1396233.0

I asked why their github is empty. Then they gave me a link to their 'wallet' which is obviously simply an old copy of the NXT client. As you can see they didn't even bother to delete all NXT files, changelog, etc..

I asked completely civilised about this strange lack of any substantial code but got called 'troll' etc...

Judge for yourself, I  made a copy of everything with the waybackmachine to be safe:

Edit: The chief scammer of 'Project Elastic' just sent me this professional message:
