Before the "can of worms' was opened with a wallet that would let the owner chose to send none,all and any amount in between
of his stake rewards to the donation address....community donations to the devs was exactly how we did it.
It was thought this way would be smoother, more fair and take care of the devs for some time to come.
Too bad it's turned into some kind of imaginary negative for some folks.
I'm still interested how anyone could imagine a project like SpectreCoin.... that's been going since late 2016, with a large community like we have, could be anything close to a scam.
If it is....it isn't very well orchestrated....

Maybe the good people of BitCoin Talk would do better at sniffing out the real scams that bilk people out of hundreds of thousands if not millions of dollars. much larger....but harder targets I guess.
