the coins were more then doubled, the dev mined the new coins in secret, without saying rules have changed ... no announcement, no realy explanation, no update of data on website or blog. only mining in secret till a member recognized it (thank you learminer!) .even crymzyn, the voice of topcoin, did not know what happened.
what will be better with version top2, top3 or top4? or with the next distribution rounds, 11,5 billion, 26 billion ... ?!
Or when they change the coin to a 100% premined coin? Nothing. The problems will come back
No one will accept a coin with such practises.
A little clarification... Topdude did not know about the issue until I reported it to him, shortly after learminer reported it here... So to say that the dev was mining in secret is bogus. In fact, it was in the initial phase of distribution, so learminer caught it at a crucial time - again, thank you.
Topdude also made a post here in a timely manner, and has never left us high and dry. He is consistently BUYING Topcoin to use in our giveaways and for bounties, so please, do not get any facts twisted here.
Yes, the coin did have a flaw and started distributing again when it wasn't supposed to, but in the end, it gave new people a chance to get in at the ground level - both by mining and buying low. It revived the network which had mostly consisted of me and Topdude taking turns keeping it going. These types of issues that were not able to be seen at the beginning will be fixed, and we will come out of this in much better shape.
The new version will be leaner and meaner - we will most likely do a 1000 to 1 cut on the coin cap, bringing it to millions instead of billions. Different selections of attributes will be presented to the community, and it will be up to them to decide what the new Topcoin will be, by running a fair vote. It will still have the solid leadership team behind it every step of the way, and development will be continued on the Crypto Center that will provide new tools to increase usability and make it easier to engage less technical folk.
I appreciate your thoughts, but just wanted to make sure that everyone was aware of the truth.
