  • CarsenK is the sole developer who created this coin as it stands today. CarsenK is linked to many scam coins in the past.
    Reference.
  • CarsenK made several code replacements visible on github when he changed the source code from old scam coin names to "Torcoin".
    Reference.

And CarsenK is no longer the developer.

He is the only developer that has ever worked on this and he used code from prior scam coins he created.

  • Tor has openly stated Torcoin is using their trademarks (both of them) and they do not support this behavior.
    Reference.

Where do they state they don't support this behaviour?

They just stated they're not affiliated with the project.

Yes, they also say they do not endorse it. Do you know what "endorse" means?  (endorse - declare one's public approval or support of.)

By stating they do not endorse Torcoin, they are expressing their lack of support for Torcoin and this would certainly include the way Torcoin uses their name or logo. They do not endorse (support) trademark/copyright infringement.

  • Apple/iOS market will not allow a Torcoin app based on copyright/trademark infringement

There are all sorts of things we could dive into, it's not one thing than another, it's all of the above.

Well, there's a new logo, we should resize and start using.
I don't see why the Tor project would close this down, even if they do, having the app on the market isn't that important
If you want to use something, you'll definitely download an .apk from a trusted publisher

New? A new logo was posted in April on the same twitter feed that Tor announced their lack of support for Torcoin and nothing came of it.
Tor didn't care about CarsenK's new logo because Torcoin is still involved in copyright/trademark infringement, new logo or not, it seems obvious they do not want Torcoin using the name & brand.

You are a headache my friend  Roll Eyes, be careful not to have a heart attack. Surely you
are right, you are the one who decides — It's like you say.

If the pizaiolo who sold the pizza in exchange for 10,000 btc would have followed
your stupid advice today you would be a dead man. Good lock with your prepositions,
keep working.
