Codebase is open source and vetted by crypto community members
Isn't just recycled code with nothing new
Uses proof of work
No Premine
No Super Block
Have a good use case and is feasible to achieve
That's the point. They are only showing their ideas and giving them to the community for verification. If even one person finds something wrong with the code, everyone will know about it. There will be articles on top of articles about how the devs are careless and proposing bugged changes. It's just not going to work and the devs know it. That's why everything they propose undergoes verification and is not going to be malicious.
I'm fine with them trying to improve the system and appreciate their work.
