So thus you confirm Monero is scam.

It was just sold to public as honest launch. I also trusted them at first. Before very strange and useless features and lots of noise in dozens of topics.
But in fact all of that was a lie, they do not even respect the creator. No credit for TFT in any interview.

Do whatever, but you Must respect the one that gave you the opportunity. Aren't you agree?

Whom they want to trick? People don't like when they are treated poorly or stupid.
But this is current devs choice. And we should respect their way of thinking and PR. We can choose another coin, but respect everyone.

Oh look, another sockpuppet.

It was an honest launch. I'm not going to do your homework again, but if you look at http://monerochain.info/charts/hashrate for the first 10 days it went from 936h/s to 8698h/s. At that initial stage (I've said this before) mining on one of my dedicated servers ran at around 11h/s, and an Amazon EC2 c3.8xlarge slice ran at just under 50h/s. That means that for the first 10 days you could own the network with 19 - 174 EC2 instances, certainly not infeasible or dodgy or scammy.

Also, TFT is not the "creator" by any measure of the term. The original CryptoNote developers (that wrote the original whitepaper and the initial reference implementation) can and do get our respect. However, when people are talking to us they want to know what *we* are doing, not what *was* done. The further we deviate from the reference code the more relevant our *current* work is.

You're welcome to go elsewhere if you don't like our "very strange and useless features".
