That doesn't sound too terrible, and definitely not 'malicious' It sounds like someone who just didn't agree with Monero's progression/launch and was trying to rally like-minded community members. Seeing that either enough people didn't agree with him or that it was a poor way of dealing with his issues, he canceled the launch and relaunched as Quazarcoin. Whether or not he is wrong about the assertions he was making is a different story. It is clear that he was just disgruntled by something and wanted a coin that was 'fair' in his mind.

Then why use a bought account? Why buy an account in the first place unless you're trying to look legit? There is no legitimate reason to buy an account unless you're trying to scam people.

The SourceForge link between those four is also quite tenable. Nobody uses ShitForge anymore, definitely not for a cryptocurrency.

http://sourceforge.net/directory/?q=cryptocurrency - 36 projects including bullshit like Java GUIs for Bitcoin and cryptocurrency tickers.
https://github.com/search?utf8=✓&q=cryptocurrency&ref=cmdform - 1163 repositories including every cryptocurrency known to man.

It's possible, however unlikely, that the person that bought the OracionSeis account has since split off from the CryptoNote developers. It doesn't fucking matter, hiding behind a purchased account kills any hope of legitimacy. Until the developer is transparent and owns up to everything in great detail, QuazarCoin should be avoided like the scam it probably/possibly is.

Sleeping now, will respond to anyone when I'm up.

Why use a bought account? Because maybe he just wants to be taken seriously by people on the internet. His actions seem a lot more like someone who got involved with a community and took it upon himself to try and fix a coin he loved in ways that in hindsight weren't the ideal ways to fix them. Simply chalk that up to inexperience and maybe being driven too much by emotions. Maybe being taken seriously was so important to him that he didn't even consider how buying an account might seem shady to people who thought he was the leader of some elaborate scam (because there's no scam taking place to begin with).

I can show you a million examples of scammers that are successful with brand new accounts. He didn't need to buy an account if he wanted to scam people.

Go look at the last month of pages in the QCN thread. You'll find that OracionSeis just seems like some guy in his own little world doing the right thing in his mind. He continues devving and posting regardless of how many other people are posting or how much his coin is losing value. He doesn't bash other coins and he doesn't artificially hype shit up.

Remember when people wanted to fork Litecoin after Scrypt ASICs starting surfacing? Were they trying to scam anyone or were they just acting passionately about a coin they liked that started losing its identity? I think QCN and its dev is very much like this situation. Again, whether or not Monero had issues that even warranted a relaunch is another story. I'm just saying that good intentions can be misconstrued in a realm where daily scams have people on constant high alert.

Hopefully the QCN dev can come forward and dispel some of these conjectures in this thread. I don't think the QCN dev ever had people accusing him of being a scam artist at this level, so he might be pretty oblivious to all these accusations happening right now. Or I could be totally wrong and you are completely right.
