Perhaps it is a simple case of Déjà vu, but I can't help but feel I've read the two lines above somewhere else...


So which coin in particular did he develop?

* The developer is here to stay - he's one of the dev's behind one of the most popular
alts and has been down this road before. Second time to market with a proper team
usually means great things to come.

Developers work in their own trees, then submit pull requests when they think their feature or bug fix is ready.

The patch will be accepted if there is broad consensus that it is a good thing. Developers should expect to rework and resubmit patches if they don't match the project's coding conventions (see coding.txt) or are controversial.

The master branch is regularly built and tested, but is not guaranteed to be completely stable. Tags are regularly created to indicate new official, stable release versions of Elephant coin.

Feature branches are created when there are major new features being worked on by several people.

From time to time a pull request will become outdated. If this occurs, and the pull is no longer automatically mergeable; a comment on the pull will be used to issue a warning of closure. The pull will be closed 15 days after the warning if action is not taken by the author. Pull requests closed in this manner will have their corresponding issue labeled 'stagnant'.

Issues with no commits will be given a similar warning, and closed after 15 days from their last activity. Issues closed in this manner will be labeled 'stale'.

Intro
-----
Redcoin is a free open source peer-to-peer electronic cash system that is
completely decentralized, without the need for a central server or trusted
parties.  Users hold the crypto keys to their own money and transact directly
with each other, with the help of a P2P network to check for double-spending.

I hate to quote myself, but I never received an answer to the question I posed earlier.

The EarthCoin used the Elephantcoin codebase as the starting point, that's probably why you see these. I already fixed them in the source in github. I have no idea for lottocoin. I am not the dev of lottocoin. It could be that they started from the same base. There are a few coins that considered "stable" or problem free, that people choose to use as starting point for new coins. When you start a new coin, you can base it on any existing coins depends on what features you want. All codes are open source and most are in github.

Hope this answers your question. Thanks.
