Another comment from somebody who didn't read, but chooses to spew based on empty assumptions.

I don't post bullshit. It's relevant. Educate yourself first, then reply.

The modern human brain takes millions of shortcuts (assumptions) every single day.
It using multiple factors to translate inputs from the outside world, and makes informed assumptions based on those inputs & previous experiences.

Relevant to your post...
Two factors the brain uses to understand the world are Symbols & Context...

Symbol = HashCoin
Context = CryptoCurrencies

It is perfectly normal to assume that a CryptoCurrency called HashCoin identified previously, is the same HashCoin CryptoCurrency identified now.

Given the change of symbolic meaning of "HashCoin" in this scenario, I believe the onus is on you to make this clear.
Don't expect everyone to discover the changed symbolism without any prompting or notice, and don't get all high & mighty when someone makes a perfectly reasonable assumption.
You could have easily done this by adding prominently to the White Paper & Post... Something along the lines of...
"Note: This is NOT related in any way to the old HashCoin. This is a new, unrelated HashCoin proposal. ". Simples.

This is what I picked up on in reading the document aside it was drafted in Acrobat 5 which will not even run the print capture on current MS operating systems... Page 4 last paragraph: "bad actors", not a very common usage of those terms.

and... last paragraph...

Devs,

Off topic - but nothing like a dose of stoicism to put things into perspective, good luck with the legal case...

I actually watched that, and thanks- I hope people feel we're responding well, we can only deal with the hand we've been given.

I want to call out that the Syscoin team was the first (of all impacted) to take actual, legal action. We are still the only party that has taken legal action, but I assure you a line is forming quickly. We did this at great cost to what's left of our fund, but felt it the only responsible thing to do- even if it costs us every last penny from our presale fund.

Cryptocurrencies will never grow if these kind of actions are consistently met with a "oh darn" reactions from the community. We are tired of the "oh darn" and are taking this very seriously. I can't disclose anything more but the fact we acted as soon as we did may have not only saved our BTC, but it may have saved Mintpal's BTC as well. Can't say anymore than that and I'm not stating anything as fact.

As we've stated several times we're still moving forward with SYS, but we MUST focus on the legal issues right now and bring any wrong-doers to justice. For Syscoin, for Moopay investors, for Mintpal users, and for the community at large. We're also networking with all affected parties. Everyone wants to see justice here, and "everyone" here is a very very large group of people.

I hope people recognize this expense and effort we're expending to seek justice isn't just about OUR bitcoin. We could've easily taken what's left of the fund, put it toward dev or put it in our pocket and walked away from all this calamity. Instead we're heading dead-on into the eye of the storm and hoping to make an example of "bad actors" like this in the crypto space.
