I think you'd be throwing out the baby with the bath water if you severed ties with Moolah tbh. Give them a chance to turn it around.
There's a lot of Moolah haters out there... If you take care to read that reddit post you'll find that OPs issue is with Mintpal's management prior to the Moolah takeover.....
Moolah certainly gave us time to address issues and we don't plan on throwing the baby out with the bath water at all just cause they had some issues too. Also we absolutely need the remainder of our funding they are holding. Remember Moolah runs much more than just an exchange, this is just the high-visibility launch having issues right now (we've been there), they are still a huge player in the crypto space and that is very valuable.
Syscoin is an entirely independent crypto team- we are not owned nor controlled by any outside entities, and we are constantly working on partnership with more players inside (and outside) the crypto space.
Dispelling some rumors:- We are not Moolah.
- We were not bought by Moolah.
- We are not using Moolah devs, we have our own team.
- We do not have "only 1 dev".
- We do not have 1500btc [yet].
- We are not sailing boats.
Confirming facts:- We are working hard as fck
- We are committed to the long term vision around Syscoin which we have communicated several times
- We are working on numerous parallel efforts all related to Syscoin, some which we have no disclosed (gotta keep some things as a surprise)
- All the presale rewards have SHIPPED. Royal Mail is slow.
