So even after the LTC TX spam fiasco someone release an alt-coin w/ same vulnerability?
I mean I thought in theory the point of alt-coins is to be a learning environment. If scam-coins aren't going to patch the mistakes of prior scam-coins then they aren't even make a token effort to innovate.
Won't get any disagreement from me, lazy coin creator is lazy... but hey, at least he fixed it when I pointed it out to him.

Well I think the whole announce and launch within same day "fad" has something to do with it. Satoshi took almost a year from his initial paper to genesis block and received significant feedback over that time period.
