True. This is interesting though..

https://twitter.com/crazy_crypto

He initially called twitter post bs, but then sent DM to @cmshindi with a link to grab his IP address and says it does in fact show Kenya IP. Of course, that can be faked too.

Either way, I'm still holding. Break or bust. It was all free money made from getting in early on doge anyway.

Likewise. I bought my Doge a little late, but still ended up with a decent pile. I'm waiting for Cryptsy to post my latest deposit so I can trade it all for Zeta and I'm holding what I already got even though I think Doge and Fluttercoin are both looking promising over the coming weeks.

I just think that this has reached the point where pump and dump is a less and less plausible explanation. It's hard to imagine a guy patiently working on developing a coin for a year so he can destroy it with a pump and dump. If he was going to dump, my guess is that he already would have, in tiny bits, over the time since the rumor started. And yet he is still sticking with his story. At this point, Konen has well and truly staked his credibility on this. If it doesn't pan out, he is destroyed. Plus (not that I know, but ...) are people in cryptocurrency somehow immune from lawsuits? Why would he take that risk? Why wouldn't he be trying to hedge his statements a bit so that he has wiggle room to back out of the lie later? Why is there no denial from M-Pesa?

I was a complete skeptic three days ago, but I've been reading up on it and it makes sense to me that crypto would be attractive to M-Pesa as a way to reduce their administrative costs and increase security, while allowing transfers of larger amounts (their current system caps out at 500 USD equivalent). Recent Zetacoin additions like Android app and vanity addresses also appear to address key needs of M-Pesa (a big problem for them with the SMS transfers is apparently funds sent to the wrong account by mistake, and then them getting into fights with merchants - Android wallets with easy-to-remember vanity addresses would help resove this). The fact that zetachain.cc has been down for two days makes me wonder if perhaps M-Pesa is making some big moves to secure the blockchain and the site is down to keep people from seeing for sure what is going on.

If it is a hoax, the steps he is apparently taking - faking tweets and IP in Kenya, taking down zetachain, developing apps that would work for M-Pesa, continuing to insist that something is happening to the point where his entire reputation rests on this happening or not - are increasingly elaborate. For me, it is beyond the point where I find hoax to be a plausible explanation. 75% of my crypto value is now in Zeta and the rest is going in as soon as this frickin deposit clears Cryptsy ...

Yes I agree with all that.
