This is situation is really stupid.
First I do not get dev or devs, is there any problem that he/they can not solve or is it just a kid which mother forbid him/her to use pc few days.
I can not believe that his plan was to just dump small amount of coins for small price and than run away.
If there is some problem which the dev is not able to solve he should ask for help here, from community.

As I see MartinF was "Last Active:   August 25, 2014, 08:40:07 PM" so he must be aware about this situation but do not have plan to answer any of questions that community have, or just to say something.

About hard fork and halving amount of coins that we own I do not think it is good.
Why should we do that and why is that needed? We have coins that we have, mining period is over, it is on exchange, we just need working wallet and marketing.

How do you know that address with 13XDE is dev's?

Is there anyone here who can say what is the problem with the wallet? 

conspiracy theory
So.. someone make rare coin, promote it, give 20% to the people, 80% people mine few days to think it is fair, coin get to exchange, people that get coin from the giveaway sell it cheap, than miners in panic sell it also cheap, pseudo dev buy almost all coins at cheap price, release new wallet which work 3 days than lock coins, coins that are not on exchange are locked in wallets by purpose, so than price pump on exchange can be easy done with small coin supply, and finally sell coins 100X price.
reality could be stranger than our theories
