I have a very simple question, I'd like to know what the community has to say about this.
Wouldn't it be a sign of good intentions on devs' part just to let people keep their original signatums during the swap process?
(btw Please don't tell me to wait for the swap announcement, there is no point in arguing the swap after things are already set in stone. )
I hope my question is not judged unnecessary, hostile, fud etc.
Imo it is not an unncessary or hostile or whatever question...
I'm pretty sure it can be discussed.
But the question is : what will be the point to keep a useless dead currency ? Let people buy a dead coin just to let you dump and limit your loss ?
It is pretty clear that the original devs have abandoned the coin. If nobody has access to the core, I don't see any benefit to keep the chain alive.
If anyone can prove doc and gab have plans to develop the coin in the future, so yes, you should be able to keep your coins. But obviously it is not the case.
Better finish with all the drama and shit and make a new clean start. It will not be signatum, it sounds more like a new coin to me (different algo, PoW, masternode, different supply and goals...), but a new coin that care about signatum holders. I am fine with it.
I don't understand how this coin cares for signatum owners. If the old owners won't be able to double dip, how can they be considered cared about?
And as of now, signatum 1.0 still has a 182 satoshi value to it, you can buy it, sell it, convert it to btc, eth whatever you want. So anyone without any prior signatum, can come now, and accumulate sigt at a very low price, at a fraction of what we believers and holders bought, and get the same 4:1 ratio conversion. This is no different than a premined coin sale, or an ICO.
I fail to see any serious priority given to previous signatum owners. The only privilege we get is we don't have to open a new account at yobit to buy sigt for the swap, since we already have an account and sigts in our wallet.
The new sigt 2.0 dev team were also devs of 1.0. They have some form of responsibility for those who expected to see doc back, as it was stated officially that he would be back multiple times in the old discord. I know they were fooled aswell, but still, they do have and obviously feel some responsibility for it, as they state in their announcement for 2.0.
While this is a well thought-out and warm mutual feeling between us and them, they fail to prove that in their action. Because more CAN be done, let us keep 1.0. If you are true to your word, 1.0 has no chance to live while 2.0 exists, and maybe we can dump some of our 1.0's and make a little extra, a small gift for those who held for long.
And as an added extra, this is a very powerful proof that the devs of 2.0 are in for the long haul.
I have been blocked in the discord channel for these very same views. Let's see what happens here.
