hmm if it was a scam then why would he propose a fix to the community like that instead of running with the money.? it makes little sense to me, even tought the situation looks odd i want to hold and see what happens trough this update before i settle an opinion on if it s a scam or not

because the old scam was exposed to fast to take enough profit?

This is a bit off topic for this journal, but maybe the precaution aspect is still relevant.

Come on! how bad a dev team can you be that you launch a coin based on existing source, and you talk about "professionals" "hacks" "bugs" in your statement about the issue!?!

I read it was supposed to be 150 million coins, yet in the source it's more like 360 millions (I'd have to check again to make sure). That is NOT a bug... that is just plain negligence or deliberate attempt in fooling people.

And then, when this gets exposed, in just a few hours, website, block explorer github is taken down!

The success in any business is constant work and dedication OVER TIME. This sadly looks like a terrible attempt to make a quick profit coin.

I mean this is open source world. Maybe try to look into these kind of obvious things before investing too much time/efforts/money into a project.

Plus, if you find a coin with the developer name being the same as the coin name... know to be careful (I'm not saying not to go for it, just pay more attention)! Why wouldn't the dev to put a "real" handle with history there in the first place. If you come to think of it, take all those coins (dev name = coin name ) out and you should get a pretty interesting list of coins worth looking into!
