There's some really strange rivalries with this coin.  On the Discord the community talks about some really upset former dev named Eeeyore.  This Eeyore character is constantly doing things like DDOSing one of the pools.  A more comical thing that occurs on occasion is that he'll get some new logon for Discord and then will drop random pictures of people taking craps or old men giving each other blow jobs.  It's gross but so gross and so odd (and so relatively frequent) that I have to say the whole thing has some entertainment value.

The core dev team here is frequently absent.  The reason, I believe, is that there's a personal issue with the lead dev currently.  He's absent but not totally gone --- for example, the coin switched algos a couple weeks ago from v7 to v8.  Also the dev seems to come and unblock things when it gets to the point where there's a tech response needed, i.e., when Eeyore or whoever is attacking the network does their thing.

There's not been any real discussion of exchanges on the sites recently and that's not something that'll probably get addressed until the dev and team can fully re-engage.  Unknown when that will occur.

Outlook:I'm mining this coin because the devs have an interesting vision for an alt version of ETN.  In spite of all the chaos online, and in personal lives, the core team still hacks away at this.  I think they'll still need a couple months to get things together.  Probably won't be on an exchange until 1Q19 at the earliest.  It's a risky project from all objective measures but if you like risk and you're not in a rush to sell, well, then add this to the speculative list.  I think this team is going to pull it together, eventually.
