Well, it'll give all the dumpers time to get it out of their system so the price can go up instead of being depressed around 40 satoshi each.

BCC shouldn't be that low. As far as I can see, there is only one problem with it. The wallet still aborts when loading blocks, at least it does for me with the github version. But that isn't a major problem. It would just require fixing the bug in the wallet and people's upgrading.

The only problem with BCC is a void of dev-team. BCCdev is not a developer. He had to pay 0.2BTC for someone to code BCC for him. And to make it worse, did he pay him? Not sure, there are debates on that topic.

I will not use the word scam, because it was done very openly. However, deception is a word that comes to mind.

I wouldn't call it a scam, or a deception so much. You can generate a shit coin online for, what is it?... .4 btc? There are a lot of 'coin makers' that have rewards for wallets for various operating systems, and such. I really don't expect anybody that 'makes' a new coin to be the dev even if their handled has 'dev' in it. It's easier to hire someone to make a wallet, than to make it yourself although a lot of these wallets, and coin algorithms are copy/pasted together with the necessary logo, and word changes off of previously existing code. As long as it trades, and the price doesn't fall into the shitter, I'm ok with it. (I have been coding for a few decades now, and have considered doing the whole coin thing, but there's enough shitcoins out there already.)
