Do remember that this was back in May, so it was very early days for VRC.
Early or not, the fact that Pnosker is in the trollbox cheering up day traders says a lot about the mentality and moral of the lead developer. The same moral had associated vericoin with the scammer WizRig. Anyway, it is not very classy that the lead developer of a coin is active, create hype and cheer up potential buyers at an exchange. You would never seen that from well respected devs like btcdrak.
If this mentality of Pnosker, the lead developer would known by potential investors at the time - the very same people who come here these days to tell us about money lost with VRC and that they are very disappointed - then many investors would never ever buy VRC.
Dude I lost a fair share as well but you see me whining or fudding? Pnosker is a dev but he's also a marketer hence the active role in promoting the coin.. give it a rest.
No one is buying this coin and not because I am whining, fudding or whatever you are saying I am doing here, we both know that :-))
I get that marketing bit and generally speaking I have no problem with that and I am trading hyped/pumped coins all the time, we are here for the dollar. I wouldn't mind he is doing his marketing, but since vericoin is fucked-up big time I would like to see the problem is solved and this currently fucked up coin is start progressing. In order to do that, they need to be the "good guys", to implement the "good guys" theme what many community members suggest here. The part of that theme is to stop the shady operation that is not alien to Pnosker and to be honest with potential investors. It's just not classy making the hype at Twitter and exchanges by the lead dev. Then, the devs need to stop being arrogant, get to the point when they say fucking hell, it is a professionally embarrassing situation that we could not pulled off this project, just admit they fucked this up, and then start working on the coin.
Pointing out problems and asking from the devs to deliver is not FUDding. If it is up to the hardcore cheerleaders whom standing ovation brought the coin to the 8k price then the price will be 1k very soon - it's time for a different approach, perhaps the simplest is start identifying the problems, working and developing the software.
