this coin was abandoned until Trapier took it upon himself to to a ton of work to it to try and repair the runaway staking and other problems that plagued this coin.
you might have asked about that before hijacking the coin. but then i've had that happen to me twice so i guess courtesy is not so common in crypto these days.
over 1000 other abandoned coins and you have to pick one that already has a dev.
not to mention using the same ports so as to sponge off the existing nodes, the main hard node being mine.
I agree, this is a pretty crappy thing to do. But, as I have learned recently, most devs are like this and are only out for a quick buck. Good luck.
