is it true that this was 3 previous failed projects before it was renamed zcoin? and thats why the founder left? and still holds a founders wallet? with a huge stockpile of XZC, how do we know he is not going to dump?
no development for weeks.... no updates.. no formal roadmap..
I wouldn't call it failed.
Moneta/Zcoin are the same project just that Moneta didn't 'launch' and when it did it was rebranded as Zcoin.
Zerovert was abandoned due to lack of interest from the Vertcoin community (it was meant to be part of it) and Poramin's problem that he couldn't open source it without investors as he didn't want someone just stealing his hard work.
Gary didn't 'leave' he was replaced. You can trawl back a bit to see what happened as I rather not repeat
No development update for weeks is also not true with a wallet loading fix which is pretty significant less than week ago. You can follow us on Slack and Twitter to keep abreast of updates.
