Pandacoin PND will always be linked to PANDA which Wolong uses to scam so many people. It should suppose to be a very nice brand until Wolong destroy the name. So sad.
I agree that Pandacoin is a unique brand name until Wolong came along the alt coin scene and tarnished it. But understand that it's part of our coin's unique history and origins, a fundamental part of the coin that we will actually adopt as part of Pandacoin's (PND) set of USPs (Unique Selling Proposition). Pandacoin (PND) has a unique philosophy and origins since it was initially created to destroy a scam coin. Thus far we have continued the anti-scam approach and compensated Asiacoin bagholders since they were scammed by their devs.
Pandacoin (PND) has since moved on, rebranded and carried on with our initial core values in mind (Honesty, integrity, peace, compassion and peace), and these values are reflected in our 0% premine, 0 IPO, no instamined bs, active dev team (with 7 members), community initiatives like helping out Asiacoin bagholders (expect more similar initiatives in the future), charity efforts such as pnd4pnd.com and opting to potentially adopt a panda from WWF and more.
Also: we've just spoken with Mintpal today, and they have said that we should expect PND/BTC soon. Once that happens, there will be less confusion over the coins and we'll be making Mintpal history, as the first coin to get BTC listing as well as LTC listing!
We can't help what happened with Pandacoin's (PND) origin and initial mission to counter scam artist's in the alt coin space, it's part of who we are and why Pandacoin (PND) was created in the first place. But we've embraced it, matured, moved on and continuing to improve. Many coins claim a similar 'anti scam' approach also, but realistically, what do they have to show for it without it coming across like unsubstantiated marketing fluff?
Instead of hiding from our interesting and unique past, we will embrace it and adopt is as Pandacoin's (PND) community and the dev's team core values and philosophy.
