If you can't see the comparisons between
http://www.megacoin.co.nz/ &
http://mega.co.nz/ then I don't know what else to say to you. It's obvious to everyone what is going on here. They even went as far as to register it in .nz.
One of the moderators is from NZ.. The one who made the website/forum.
How convenient. That still doesn't discredit the fact that they've pretty much ripped off Mega in every way they could. Next you'll be telling me it was really created by a real Dr Kimoto and the Kim in his name doesn't have any thing to do with the guy who created Mega and is just a coincidence.
You can look at it two ways;
Kimoto isn't Kim Dot Com:
Higher chance for Kim to promote and adopt Megacoin in the future, I think this is a good direction if the coin becomes popular.
Keeps the developer anonymous, which I think is a bonus in this wild west scene.
Plays off of Satoshi Nakamoto and follows in the anonymous footsteps of bitcoin.
If it is Kim:
He will promote it and roll out services.
proven competent dev/inventor.
Having said that, only the really confused noobies get them selves worked up trying to find out this 'mystery', instead of focusing on the proven talents of kimoto, the website, the community, the Kimoto Gravity Well, the forums, the services being developed, the marketing and the trade volume etc.

At this stage it really doesn't matter if
Bill Gates created Megacoin, it is unstoppable.
Do you think the Chinese are falling over themselves, putting money into Megacoin by the mass because they think Kim Dot Com runs it? I do not think so.
