I dont think its the XIOS dev, however it was forked from XIOS. The XIOS Dev can speak proper engrish and is still actively supporting the coin. XIOS also had a 0 premine (Albeit a lucrative mining rewards scheme).
Yea, i didn't say that. I'm in the XIOS discord and the dev is active there. XIOS has a real community, there is no premine. The dev doesn't hold a lot of coins.
