I tried getting answers from people in the IRC. @boxxed was there and he just told me any information that I want I can find in news articles in the future.

This is seriously deceiving, however, because the WSJ was already duped into publishing an article that had false information provided to them by Mazacoin's PR people. If the WSJ can be fed bad information what is stopping any other news company from being fed information by them? Why can't boxxed just answer question in the IRC like a normal dev? Why do I have to wait for my answers indirectly through news outlets?

The cat is out of the bag in my opinion that Mazacoin has overstepped their bounds to get their coin hype and notoriety. It's not being done with honor and I'd be ashamed if I was the Lakota people being falsely represented like this by someone. You give white lies to the WSJ and Forbes and suddenly nothing you say can be trusted anymore. Credibility out the window.

And this is coming from someone who spent an hour talking with AnonymousPirate in that pastebin chat. I devoted my time to hearing about Mazacoin and then they deceive the public in major news media outlets.

You would think they would JUMP out of their seats to ease any concerns about the credibility issues that have come to light. They haven't bothered to ease these concerns at all. There really isn't an excuse. If it's not what we think it is it should BE EASILY EXPLAINABLE. We are getting fucking worked at a level beyond the "whales".
