As stated, it's a joke. First of all, when the development team is so "professional" that they rely so much on single person, without which they abandon it, how can they even want to develop something else? Do they have new leader to rely on or what?

That itself is SO much trustworthy that another shitcoin will be dead before it started.
Next, if they play like a developers or whatever, the largest community is here. Why there is no word here? Not on the official pools? Not on the official website? Who ARE those guys?! Or do they not have access to the site administration or what? What do they develop than?

What poll to they talk about, where did I vote for a new shitcoin? I do not remember. What's that all about, some chat at some shitsite? A pool operator randomly sees and has to relay instead of THEM wannabe developers coming forward? I trust no word they send, if that's even truth some THEM want to switch over. There is already over 1200 altcoins, after what they are pulling, who will care about another one? Who will TRUST them? EDL has both nice technology background AND also a good name.
Last but not least, if they premine 10k and there are already tens of MILLIONS EDL, how much am I going to get with close to half a mil, a 50 shitcoins? Which I'll mine in 10 minutes if I switch over? That's a good one! Maybe they should rather pick a career of stand-up actors.
No way. Besides some time, I did not really lost anything (one could only argue I could have mined 0.25 XMR or something like that, that's 50 bucks, I'll live with that). I won't loose anything by holding to it. Wish all the very best to the lead guy, hope he'll recover soon and come back, throwing those morons out and getting some ppl to the team who are both capable AND trustworthy.
