Well, I think this is not legit. I wonder why bitcointalk administration hasn't been contacted before there are 18 pages of FUD. And now it has grown into a nice heading.
To answer your question, it started as an [ANN] post without all this accusation. He cultivated this post to 18 pages. The he pulled a bait-and-switch and abruptly changed everything on the first page.
But WHY did he do that?! I think there is something behind it.
He is a triggerhappy wannabe scambuster, hunting for merits, probably, because we have seen no evidence this far.
There's all the evidence one'd need to figure out that the devs created a coin with a non-ASIC resistant algo and still went on to advertise it as such. I had to warn people about such a decelptive coin.
Can we just remove all the scam FUD from the OP while we're at it? It doesn't make any sense and they have been debunked
Nothing has been debunked. You can't debunk anything and hence why you're in denial.
Your "proof" is not the issue here.
As you are not part of the official dev team, you don't have the right to create an [ANN] thread on behalf of the coin creators.
Now for whatever reason you've become salty and are abusing power you shouldn't have to denigrate the name of this coin, meme or not, in massive red letters.
You are not the sole judge and jury for the intentions of the devs , nor should you be allowed to pass summary judgement by calling it a scam in a thread that was made to look like an official announcement.
BTC talk really needs some kind of subforum which enables dev teams to prove their legitimacy with some kind of verification process to keep this sort of thing from happening.
