Damn dude. That's pretty insane. I've seen you do nothing but post slightly concerned alternate opinions.
Got a feeling they're getting desperate - I don't know why but I'm almost convinced they are. If i was a betting man - I'd say they used the blocknet announcements to buy up worthless coins before adding them to the blocknet list then dump
XC has dumped like 20% since the announcement and I just have this gut feeling that someone out there could knock it down 50%.
The problem is there are no buyers for closed sourced anon. There is too much competition. the reality is that if there is legit code - the danger is MUCH MORE of becoming obsolete / having the shit dumped out of you than being cloned.
