My name is Andrey Galkin and I am the creator of Energi Gen 3.

I can testify that there is no technical justification to keep NRG deposits closed. The official justification was to fight scammers at migration time, but all stolen funds are blocked & in recovery process, the majority of coins have migrated during the first week.

I wanted to get as much distant from Energi Core as possible as I got fed up with Tommy's personal issues, I have left as calmly as possible and prepared the Technology department to operate in my absence, but I offered support of the software when I was leaving. I have even offered to release v3.1.0 for FREE when I saw Energi Core impotence to fix arising issues. I have been offering my support to Tommy and Ryan FOR FREE, but Energi Core has rejected all my proposals, because they are interested in keeping the deposits closed. It is a new form of scam IMO.

I have been SCAMMED as any other Energi user. All exchanges obey the orders of Energi Core - I have contacted some of them today to confirm. Even CoinEx has closed deposits, but it has added NRG by their own discretion and was the only one accepting deposits for some time. Even with some now rare arising chainsplits, it would be possible to accept deposits with 1000-2000 confirmations, but they do not allow even that on purpose. Freshly issued dynamic checkpoints still work as they have only broken handshake checkpoints with zero testing of the changes after v3.0.2.

I already have a working node software with even more fixes than I have identified in the article, but Energi Core rejects any help.

Meanwhile, the trading have not been stopped. Worse, I am more than sure that exchanges accept manual deposits from Energi Core to keep up in the CMC list. Some of them did not even have Gen 2 funds.
