However, AnonyMint did say that he does not plan to release a CryptoCurrency, perhaps something else is in store for us?
Correct or what I said was I would never endorse or put my name on a crypto-currency.
Have fun attacking what you can not find.
Well if you release a CryptoCurrency it'll be attacked regardless, with your name attached or not.
Also, as we have learn't from this Monero drama, any potentially successful coin that shows real merit with have to endure all the wrath from the community and the most persistent troll campaigns.
