How did you lose 8 BTC?
jy-p fooled me! They were hyping this coin hard the last few weeks! Can't believe it's just another SCAM

I have gained a bit from the recent increase in price. Just curious how you lost some.
I am also disappointed we won't participate in hard-fork voting until more time passes, however I would also rather it is done right (e.g. demonstrate first on testnet, and address any unforeseen issues). I think it's very important for the project it be executed without failure.
