So, what would be the purpose of paying miners back if he was a scammer? Just wondering what the strategy would be there. Trying to apply some game theory to this. Lol There are times that you'd intentionally lose in order to advance your position and win in the end. Wondering if someone would lose his own coins to pay miners in order to develop trust with possible investors. You lose in the short term, but win in the end by taking investors money. I hope this isn't the case. If I were a theiving bastard, that's what I would do.
Just to add to this, I think we need to hold til the 27th. If no communication from dev by then, and no anon, then I guess we'll know.
Firstly, a number of miners never received coins from the dev.
Secondly, and most alarming is the reduction of total POW blocks, meaning the dev may have had in excess of 10% of total coins, not to mention he increased the POS interest rate to 10%. Dev could have paid out miners and still retained a huge percentage of coins.
Thirdly, a lot of us caught the dev out at the beginning and he had to try and gain community trust after the fork issues otherwise the coin would not have retained any value on exchanges. What better way then to give our coins to gain a community trust.
Finally, dev was super active during first week. All of a sudden dev whet silent when we started demanding a rich list and started pointing to wallets holding a lot of coins. These wallets have dumped a lot of coins onto what appear to be exchange wallets around the same time dev when quiet.
