Dramalicious!
Looks like there is one seriously butt hurt individual creating multiple accounts and burning all of his former team members.
So many new accounts created just to bring this coin down ... for now...

*Analysis and Spoiler Alert!*
Project looks legit, despite the drama. NOTHING discussed in this thread invalidates the model, the tech or the usability of Epic Cash, the drama is just a show to keep the price down.
Looking at the difficulty people appear to be mining the crap out of Epic Cash, and looking at exchanges people are accumulating the crap out of Epic Cash at bargain prices!
Best part, the public does not give two shits about the drama, only that tasty difference between the bought and sold price.

Well played drama queens, please continue to entertain us!
*golf clap*

Full Disclosure - YOU KNOW I AM BUYING  Grin

I'm assuming this is John/JLong.  For what it's worth, from what I've witnessed, he is a standup guy.  

He was angry with me that I made a stink about being screwed.  Apparently, speaking up about mistreatment is tantamount to burning team members. Standing up for what is right be damned, let's vilify whistelblowers for damaging share value.  

I don't know who has the multiple accounts to which you've referred.  But if being butt hurt means being disgruntled over getting stiffed for 20 grand, then I am very butt hurt.  Many of my team members got screwed, too.  Yet instead of calling out the real culprit for our misfortune,  you blame people like myself for not keeping our mouth shut.  

By the sounds of it, though, I'm not the only one in this thread that is butt hurt...

It's likely that the individual who wrote this post was also guaranteed pay which he/she never received.  They have put a lot of work into the project and are hoping to reclaim that sunken time and effort via mining rewards.  Now all that EC they've mined is worth dick.  Whoever is mining EC is, of course, accumulating the crap out of it.  To sell at the going rate would mean selling at less than what it cost to mine.  But then who is buying?

Drama aside, why would someone invest in a project that has no dev team or road map, while other MimbleWimble projects have ambitious road maps and deep talented pools of developers?  For that matter, why not just BitGrin?  It's essentially the same as EC, except that EC has a slightly different emission schedule and some added mining algs.  BitGrin, as far as I know, hasn't yet screwed over contributors.  Nor does it have nearly 9% of its dev tax going to the one person who was responsible for screwing contributors over, does it?

Nice try at masking your disappointment, MajorMiner.  Kudos for dismissing unethical business practices as a pesky footnote to the ascension of EC token value.   *golf clap*
No I am not John, I am just a guy who is enjoying this project, and sees its potential.
I dont know all the details of the drama that ensued, and to be honest I dont really care.
I am one of those people who likes and respects peoples work without digging into their personal stuff - that list is long - Hemingway, Tesla, Machiavelli and many others...
Good Luck to you in your future endeavors.

You're completely ignorant to the fact that their personal life is affecting the dev funds and the long term life of this project. Good luck with your investing. And yes I do know of the two exchanges that currently have epic listed. If you watch the transactions they're almost all for prices that are not in the order books. It's very well known that the volume is faked on Citex and Bihodl. Open your eyes. There's absolutely 0 for volume other than the people dumping into the old buy orders.

Believe me when I say I want this to succeed as I also have a big bag from mining, but at this point I've written it off because of how useless this project is in comparison to the competition. There's plenty other projects out there with trustworthy dev's that do the exact same thing, on top of that they aren't clone coins like this. It took them weeks to fix simple problems with the API because it's not their code. The joys of cloning someone else's work and calling it your own.


Honestly I am not at all ignorant to the fact that their personal life is affecting the dev funds and the long term life of this project, which is why I am surprised at the "scorched-earth-let-it-all-burn-to-hell" approach. Its not constructive and anger will not get money back. I believe project has merit, just as much as it did when it started. Its far from perfect in execution, but in a sea of shitcoins this actually stands out to me. I am also glad you have a "big bag from mining", because I believe it will pay off, and I am all for EVERYONE making a buck. As far as exchanges padding the transaction list, in case of BiHODL its obvious to spot, small volume and inconsequential considering the rest of the volume is real. As far as everyone involved with the project from the beginning, I have nothing but respect for them going into such an ambitious undertaking and I hope they all get results in the end more tangible than just wisdom that comes from experience Smiley
