Yes it's a new thread to a existing project. This project was never posted on bitcointalk, hence we are making a community announcement that this coin exist (:
I read this project was originally called LINK Blockchain. Where was the official announcement for LINK Blockchain made if not on bitcointalk?
Reddit, Medium, Twitter, Website, and so on...
I looked at the reddit thread, but couldn't find any pot that I would describe as a proper coin announcement. Could you post a link the the reddit coin announcement thread please?
