Well, since I am posting right after, "I'm surprised this thread is still active", I am partly to blame.  The airdrop is over, we're still here, VoteCentral is up and running, the entire crypto market, Onion included seems to be running about par for the course.  People will be screaming "scam" until their lungs bleed I suppose, and if that makes them happy or satisfies some other urge they have, I guess good for them (?).

DeepOnion is no more a scam than any other currency or crypto is a scam, I mean, have you really looked at what backs up the US dollar lately?
