It's amusing, but that said, I wouldn't doubt the devs behind CNC, WDC, etc were all mining FeatherCoin before it crashed. They were just smart enough to release their coins under an alt account.
relm9, are you not seeing that his mining contract was announced on the 18th of May and lasts 8-10 days? Thus, with digicoin's release, which was supposed to be Tuesday, but apparently was moved forward (suicidal move for a coin's launch, imho), Baritus, the dev of digicoin, would be mining WDC all through the crucial first week of digicoin's existence. Such a terrible message to send to the community. How can we expect much from a dev who does this? What kind of faith can we invest, not to mention our electricity/hash power, in such dev and his coin? It's insulting.
I completely agree with you. Still, people adopt coins from devs that have no track record with the community at all - see CHNCoin and WDC. Probably won't stop people from mining this, just saying.
He got found out, which is good. But my point is the OP could have hid behind another alias like these other devs and no one would have bat an eye. So think about that when the next coin hits from some 0-poster dev.
