I gave up on this coin when the lead dev (Rob) threatened to label me a satanist because I had a difference in opinion. He also thinks he ran a "successful" BOINC project in the past. In his eyes it may have been "successful". In the eyes of the BOINC community it was poorly ran and never addressed some major issues it had. An example is hard coding the BOINC data directory into your app. This is unnecessary as the BOINC client handles this. Many BOINC users deliberately move the data directory elsewhere to avoid things like apps taking too much storage or too much IO usage on the primary disk. His app was buggy and would balloon on multiple hosts with different OS's. I saw it multiple times taking up several GB's of space which it would not release without manually deleting. He refused to fix the issues the project had. And he tried to punish those that spoke out. One of the worst projects I ever contributed to and I've supported well over 100 of them.
I personally do not trust him.
I'm sorry that happened to you. His attitude towards some of us has caused a lot of anger, sadness, and some division. I hope you know that God loves you whether you are a Christian or not and that we are sticking around to see more people in need be helped.

Oh I'm aware God still loves me. I just want others to know what kind of person he is. I don't see a "Godly" man going around threatening to label others as "satanists" simply because they disagree with him or dislike some of the behavior he may have been a part of...
If the team membership requirement was removed, I would return. However, I have a strong sense of dedication to my team and will not switch simply because HE is mimicing Gridcoins marketing success. However, what he should be watching it Byteballs success without NEEDING to require the team membership.
