My dear, this coin is the best thing invented last months or years but it's an unworking test version. Not a beta version but an early alfa. It doesn't work as the devs declare, so don't worry about such minor bugs. There's a new upgrade every day, the PR-makers seem they can't understand the problem and it's unable to have support from the dev. Wait a month or two, they will learn how to do it and it'll be the best coin ever. I don't understand why the official launch has been done when the coin was unready to launch, it should remain in the testnet for the next future.

The problem was that a bug was found after the system was scaled. We had it in testnet for nearly 3 months, but since we are such a small team, large scale testing is difficult to achieve. The current version seems to be stable and is even running a feature (decentralized checkpointing, which makes us far superior to Proof of Stake protocols like Peercoin) that was thought to be the initial cause of the problem. Everything should be back to normal within a week's time.
