If someone feel something is not right or feel not comfortable about, it is not him who should be attacked, it is the other way round - the one who is in charge is the one who must clear up things..
This is a forum thread. The developers and the people in charge aren't here 24/7. As a community, we've seen a rash of people trying to discredit earthcoin solely for the purpose of destroying it.
The ones who "attack" these concerns are just tired individuals who are just frustrated by all of the smear campaigners.
This happens literally every day in this thread. Some people in our community have grown naturally suspicious of new people whose first post is something negative about the coin, the team, and/or the community.
Boy are there so many haters. I have lost the ability to know now if people are writing with the best of intentions and giving a good criticism or just being a troll. I am sorry for the incoming new people. It's not that we are hiding anything, it's just that we aren't and people keep stating we do. A lot of people keep bringing up the premine but if you go to the first page, they specifically state there is a 2% premine and that it will be used at their discretion for giveaways and things that will help the development of this coin.
