I read that the devs of XMR use botnet to make fake demand for this coin. Is it true?

PS If it's true, I'll be very disappointed in XMR team

Use your brain!

There is no evidence at all suggesting any members of the team are using botnets at all. All of this FUD comes from one team member stating that he knows a botnet owner that is mining Monero. Seriously you could have found out that yourself.

Secondly, even if a team member was using a botnet, how would any of us find out about it? Come on dude start thinking for yourself! Why would some core member admit to using a botnet even if that was the case!!!!!

Just to clear things up: no team member has admitted to using any sort of botnet. I know a few team members are cloud mining but that is normal. (Or they were cloud mining, the currently difficulty might not make cloud mining worth it.)

Everything is ok. The core team are working hard on this coin day and night and things are making good progress.
