Well forking Bytecoin was plain stupid. And at moment that was announced I said it in this thread. Just check first pages.
""Maintenance and future proofing. Monero is WAYYYYYYYY more developed and maintained than Bytecoin. Bytecoin has had 88 commits to its core code since 2014. Monero has had 4795 commits!""
But people still showered this genius with $40 millions.
I expected the same as you did
One thing is important here:
"The good news is that once Electroneum started to raise money and our profile was raised, we managed to recruit a core member of the Monero team, to work on developing an Electroneum fork of Monero. He wants to remain anonymous at this stage"Here they used words and turned them around and even fooled me that monitor Monero for more then 3 years. They used words "
core member of the Monero team". Monero have
core team of 6 members. Elecroneum scammers did not used this term, but term core members to fool everyone that one of Monero core team members will help them. Monero have few 100 contributors, because it is an innovation and not even $1 was needed to start it. Not $40 millions.
Please be careful about anything you read that they wrote. It seems they are professional and doing this scams.
