Because they've already made their profit from the hype created during the PoW mining phase. The dev team are all miners with their own farms. They could mine early when diff was low and reward was high, sell off their bags through manipulated market trading conditions and then rent out their miners on Nicehash for the remainder of the PoW period in order to get paid directly in BTC. Anything after that would be down to whether they could keep the bot trading lively enough on the market to con more newbies into buying in. Throw in a few false hopes for the occasional price spike and buy/sell on the inside knowledge of it all.

All it took was the usual steady stream of 'updates' and sock-puppet shill posts talking the project up as if it were going to be snapped up by industry whales any moment for being so...'innovative'. Except it wasn't innovative at all as there's numerous 'multi-algo' coins in, and out of, existence already. You all were merely being drip-fed 'dev' bullshit every time they copy-pasted the latest 'feature' of a web-wallet or website marketplace.

Look, don't feel ashamed for having been conned by these hucksters, but for goodness sake, don't keep on conning yourself on their behalf.

This won't be their last scam, but it should definitely be yours.
