If the users know how to have their own paper/desktop wallet then they're already more advanced than your average user, and the vast majority won't even move away from the web wallet or their favorite exchange, so it's really not a big risk for a scam. Users should be safe with their wallets, and if they're careless with them, that's their loss.
Airdrops like this are not going to stop in cryptocurrency, and the only way to claim the coins is with the private keys, but we shouldn't be against these kinds of forks and immediately say it's a scam, we should be wary of scams and be safe, but forks like this give an opportunity for the developers to separate from a project and pursue the direction that they want to go with a coin.

Wow, what a great view to take: "It might be a scam but anyone who is scammed by it will be their own fault". Although factually true statement, doesn't mean people shouldn't point out the painfully obvious issues.

If this guy had taken ETN/XMRs source, worked on making changes he thought would be beneficial and unique....put a legitimate project team together and announced he wanted to take these two projects down a different route....i would be dubious about his chances of success but respect him for being active in the crypto scene and trying his own thing. However.... this isn't what he has done is it...not even close?

Hes taken the source, merged a few bits (good start). Then half arsed written a ANN/white paper with spelling mistakes and inaccuracies. Created a timeline that a multi million company would struggle to meet, thrown in words like "smart contract" for no reason what so ever except to attract people who have no idea, come up with an entire slogan to FUD other projects to try and trick new users into thinking his has some value. That's why people have taken this approach with his hobby project in this thread.... not because its a fork but because it stinks of deceit and amateur. It literally ticks every box possible for warning signs.

Like i said, at best its a vapourware pump and dump, at worse its a scam. Be careful all.

You're still complaining about the spelling mistakes? Have you checked and seen that they're corrected? OHH, spelling mistakes can be corrected?? Who would've thought? There's a big chunk of your argument you had to throw in there about something completely unimportant because you can't even come up with valid points, spelling isn't a big deal, so good job smartass, you pointed it out and it's fixed. Mistakes only *really* count with the code here, but those mistakes can be fixed too.
What inaccuracies? Be specific.
ETN is absolutely CRAWLING in FUD recently, this coin won't do it any worse, and at least unhappy investors may come here instead of choosing a different crypto entirely, because you'll have this coin too.

Competition is better for the customers, so let the two coins race and see what happens. Either the people with ETN FUD will flock to Electronero (which is good, because FUD is losing investors already) and ETN will lose value, while Electronero gains value, or it'll perform worse and ETN will shine, but either way you'll keep the same investors. But first, the new coin needs to be added to an exchange for it to make any difference at all, so this talk of a scam is ridiculous, it needs to be on an exchange for people to even bother with trying to claim it. If it's not on an exchange, then no one will try to claim the coin, and if it does get accepted to an exchange, it's probably legit. If you hate Electronero, dump it when it appears on an exchange, but that's the stupid thing to do, smart investors would hold onto both. Whichever one does better, you'll have both. Let the battle commence and grab some popcorn. You can't stop forks so just sit back and watch.

So when is the actual date of the hard fork will take place?
Also looking forward for the token price after the hardfork, hopefully it will still be at a good level of price.

Countdown is on the website. http://electronero.org/

Let us get this straight. Electronero is a forked coin with NO business model, no real world use-case and no management team.

Therefore, Electronero is NOT an Electroneum competitor... not even remotely.

Before accusing me of Electronero bashing, just back up a bit. I am not bashing the Electronero developer(s).

I want you all to sit back and put your business hats on. Where is the business model?

The days of creating coins just to create them are long over. The landscape has changed for the best.

Electronero is just another one of the over 1600 coins created that serves absolutely no purpose and wil fall by the wayside.

I tried to find some gems in the white paper but quite frankly, I found nothing .

I don't see any reason to HODL such a coin.

If I am wrong, can someone tell me what I am missing here? I have an open mind and am willing to listen.

Richard Ells thanks you for the Electronero coins. Can you imagine Richard dumping dozens of billions of Electroneros to build up his Electroneum company war chest?

I wish each of you who received Electronero the best quick profits ever!
