Re: [ANN] [POW] EPIC - Epic Private Internet Cash | MimbleWimble | Dandelion++
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*

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*
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 adding Max Freeman to the list of the likes of Hemingway and Tesla? His work amounted to giving BitGrin a slightly different emission schedule and some additional mining algorithms and branding this new groundbreaking work as his own idea. Then promoting it as having substantial investment behind it, while giving community members the chance to contribute and get a piece of the pie fresh out of the oven. Only problem was, there was no substantial investment, and the community members didn't get paid. So, workers from India, West Africa, and Eastern Europe were, ultimately, stiffed. I never agreed to work for future speculative coin. I, instead, had an agreement for monthly pay, in fiat, for my work. I too, ultimately, was stiffed.
Is this work you like and respect? What about this project do you enjoy? Who is working on it? What are they working on? Why aren't any of those at the helms of this project speaking out on its behalf? What defining characteristics imbues it with potential not shared by BitGrin, Grin, or Beam? Please, do tell.
. But, I am a little confused, if the project is as trivial as you say in terms of it being as you say a simple fork of grin, why did it require so many programmers and so much time to launch it? Translation is trivial, and I hate to say this but a lot of translations that I saw for this project are very subpar. Care to elucidate?
