I really don't think that they're scamming anyone. It's a small project and they have proven themselves to be very smart technically (and equanimous in answering the many rather trying questions on this thread). If this is the route that they chose to scam people out of their crypto when there are way way way easier methods of gaining way way way more ethereum (way waaaay more), then I consider the eth that I've given them so far as a donation for their mental health because holy shit why do all this exquisite coding and like zero marketing if you wanna scam people? lol

I don't care if they never answer again. the code is in place

i would love it if they answered some questions though, mainly:

What's the deal with the sales on Etherdelta?! Some people got it for way too good of a price and I am jealous lol
However, if I read it correctly, only CLRT that is purchased directly from the smart contract is part of the receiving of that first CLRT (and all others as the blocks go by). Is that correct?

If this is the case, then holy shit it just added a whole other level of mystique for me. in a good way. the people buying the coin on ED for less are benefiting from the discounted rate, but they can never receive more from it like the people who bought it thru the contract address at the fixed 100ETH:1CLRT ratio. Absolutely fascinating this is. I am intrigued to see the path that this token takes and how the dynamic between the two different ways of accumulating it affect the trade value every few months and over the decades. Seriously.
