You guy's know Helium is just an escape vehicle for Spreadcoin bag holders? Do some research.

Why would a developer fork this s@*t?
Only sensible reason behind it is so Spreadcoin bag holders are able to finally have a large stake in a masternode token.
Spreadcoin $1 now, nearing $10 marketcap... with the prospect of above code and masternodes?
Wow.
Over two years Georgem lied.
Read the link page to see why helium appears.

I know exactly what happened, I have a little history with SPR.
And there's nothing wrong with what the Helium team are doing, I just personally feel
that everyone should know the real reason Helium is a fork of SPR and not a completely new token (So the large SPR holders can have a controlling stake and manage the project how they want).
Nothing wrong with that but the community should know the true motives here.
The SPR code is old and needs serious core development work, take a look.
I'm open to any reasoning as to why the Helium team would fork SPR, but it's pretty obvious from my perspective.
Its less of a fork, more of a movement in a different direction since the fork will actually be of the dash code not SPR code. I think choosing to fork off an existing coin that had potential before developers ruined it and help keep the promise the coin was supposed to be isnt a bad idea. I like it better than an ICO or a premine, the coin is still very inexpensive in the grand scheme of things with the marketcap below 10 million so there is still time for people who want to get in. I like where this coin is going personally, it is okay to criticize it though, I see what apprehensions you might have.
