Hmm. Let me think about this for roughly two milliseconds. How many coins out there are completely original code?
Anyone?
Ok, I'll spell it out. Bitcoin and NXT. All others are derivative in some manner. I'm in the midst of compiling hundreds of them, and you know what? They're all pretty similar at base. The innovations, such as they are, are minor things to the code, but can have a major impact on the way the coin performs. These coins are out there for many different reasons, from someone trying to change the world all the way down to some body having a bit of fun. In my time, I've seen a few that were outright scams, a few that were really tremendously awesome, and a lot of reinventing the wheel.
The thing is, the market is new. I know, I know, it's "so yesterday" to have scrypt, x11, grostl, keccak, PoS, PoW... But face it: This revolution started in 2009. Bitcoin is king, due to being first and well marketed. There are a lot of contenders. The basic code works, and works well, or there wouldn't be all of this crazy, insane, cool, innovative, and wacky market. Evolutionary changes are just as valid as revolutionary ones, and it takes the lens of history to determine which is which.
As fof loljosh being a hired gun? So what? I have some ideas for a coin myself. I'm not currently looking for a developer, but if I were, he'd be on my short list. If you have a good idea, and don't know how to make it happen, you hire somebody who does. Frankly, if you don't like that concept, you probably should stay away from markets, period.
Still missing the point. Innovation doesn't have to be new algorithms, or crazy deployment schemes. Innovation can be how the coin is used just as well as how its made. I don't care that loljosh is hired, I care that he will move on when the coin flops. No reason to stick around when you have a dozen other coins already in play. Right now this coin is good for nothing. Not even a word from the developers of what the purpose of this coin is. Is it just to store value? We have hundreds of coins for that, we don't need another junk clone to pass around.
All we hear about is the price and the multipool. The only comment in the first post even remotely resembling a plan for this coin is senseless:
Sync is a unique crypto-currency created for premium users and miners that valued Proof-of-Stake and rare coin as a pathway to long-term investment
Premium Users? A long term investment for what? Dumping at the opportune moment?
