I knew I left a cop-out there. You're quite good at finding them. Let me rephrase.
If we assume being "the dev" of an alt-coin means being someone who writes most of the custom code after the codebase has been forked from another coin -
1) Are you "the dev" of XC?
2) Did any of the people who have contributed to XC codebase write any of HAL's code?
Sorry to repeat again, but did you choose to not answer or did you miss it?
