I'm not surprised to see criticism of cryptonit on here.
He resorted to sarcasm, name calling and displays of misunderstanding crypto in general on the occasions I had the misfortune of dealing with him - before being banned myself the first time.
I was later banned a second time for "child abuse" for sharing a video of my 2 year old son having a tantrum over a Hoosat related photo.
All in all, cryptonit is totally unsuitable for involvement with any crypto project. I would have a lot more confident in HTN if he was removed from anything to do with the social media (and the project in general).
Other than that, I quite like the project and the developers behind it. A shame one bad apple has caused so much distaste out there.
