Let us observe some facts.
1. The Cinni wallet will not sync. I have been trying for 2 days now, and I am still only 25% done. I have closed and reopened the wallet dozens of times, and it still sticks/stalls. Absolutely nobody wants to wait weeks/months for a wallet to sync - nor do they want to go digging through forums for possible solutions which may or may not work.
2. A wallet that won't sync is a useless wallet.
3. A useless wallet = NO wallet.
4. Mintpal, cinnicoin's largest exchange, recently suffered an attack which caused panic to spread among their users - many of whom (myself included) began to remove their funds from the exchange.
5. Many cinni holders who heretofore trusted mintpal to store their coins, had not downloaded a local cinni wallet. However, after the attack their trust in mintpal was shaken, so they attempted to set up local wallet for safe storage of their coins, only to discover that cinni has no wallet.
6. Predictably, these investors became frustrated with cinnicoin, and sold them off for something that did have a working wallet and which could be safely transferred out of mintpal. Naturally, the price plummeted (although it could have and SHOULD HAVE gone much lower).
8. Many people have offered up many theories about the dev and his intentions - however none of these people offered any hard verifiable evidence to support them.
9. A theory which is submitted without solid supporting evidence may be discarded without consideration.
Q & A:
Does this coin have some problems right now?
Yes.
Is the coin DEAD?
No.
Can it come back?
Certainly.
Will it come back, and if so, When?
I don't know.
Did the dev plan this all along, abandon the coin, and is he part of some conspiracy to steal all of your money?
Probably not.
I hope this helps to settle some nerves on this thread. Jeesh.
The wallet does take a while to sync, but it does in fact sync. It reminds me of the WDC or BTC wallets. Sloooww. But the network is stable and secure, right?
Besides, it does not need to be up to sync for your address to receive CINNI. I do not doubt that some people dumped out of frustration of this though. The MINTPAL dump theory is a good one.
Now let's see if that bootstrap file gets place in the OP with instructions.
