There are two options - either the project is being abandoned right now, or it was already abandoned long time ago?
So you say BTCD was abandoned long ago, and it was only illusion that it exist and will be sth in the future?
Maybe I'm wrong but I think many people feel the project is being abandoned now with poor exchange rate to switch to a new project.
I cannot prove anything - all discussion were on slack which deletes history. But all discussions and development were promising BTCD will be sth in the future and there was no discussion about new ICO and anything suggesting BTCD is abandoned project... At least not last 10 months that I'm watching it.
PS
Invested in BTCD 10 months ago, so what you mean about short term pump? The one that can happen in 1-2 years since buy in?
James did not hold a ICO for btcd so who are actually investors?
He is a person that has no obligations to BTCD. He is free like anyone to walk away at any time and not offer this swap.
So before anyone thinks about dilution or the lack of a short term pump, think about a devless coin that has the same tech as any other alt coin.
There is no abandoning going on. There is the ability to swap BTCD for komodo. That is not abandonment no matter how you want to spin it.
