With regards to this post from a few pages back:
There are no guarantees in crypto. Almost anything one can involve oneself in has the potential to be a scam from the beginning or morph into a scam half way through when the devs or large bag holders give up on their legitimate plans and start choosing a course of manipulation to attempt to get the price up so they can dump and run. Virtually every alt-coin has the potential for this, including this one.
And virtually every poster on these threads has some sort of agenda too; either to see the price go up dramatically so they can exit at the top or crash down so they can buy at super cheap prices and ride it up again. Finding balance in the posts one reads can be difficult or virtually impossible on some threads. I've seen the worst of the worst in human nature on display in these forums. Some of the characters that work these communities over with their P&D tactics are vile in the extreme and pretty sophisticated with their tactics.
So in saying all that, I can't really be sure about the dev(s) here and what their true intentions are but all indications are that they are genuine and do have something of substance here they're attempting to build. The interactions of Cypher7A69 with this community are very positive, respectful and carry a level of intent that suggests genuineness and integrity. But one thing I'm pretty good at recognising is fraud, especially when it's particularly lame and flawed, and that's what our friend grandom303 has attempted to pull on this community.
A quick perusal of Cypher7A69's previous posting history and you can see he (or she?), while not 100% perfect, compared to most people on forums like this, is a pretty competent wordsmith. Here's some examples:
The dev has contacted me via PM yesterday for escrowing IEO funds, and we have found an arrangement this morning, so i can confirm that i'll be the escrow for this IEO.
Later i'll post a signed message with the bitcoin address + rules/details.
Here we are, thanks to alex for have accepted to become our escrow.
As soon as he will post address and rules the IEO will start.
We're sorry for the one-day-delay, but it's not a problem, everything is ok, and the coin launch will stay on April 7.
The time of the launch will be announced with the countdown that we're working on it.
We're happy to announce you that we've finished with the web site, and it's online right now.
Take a look. It's always a work in progress ready to host news and future features we're going to develop.
http://www.cypher.pw/btw, why the DOC isn't updated yet? Where's the escrow? It should be more active here.
Well, we're sorry about the delay for the update of the doc, but escrow contacted us yesterday telling us that he was away today, probably he's going to update the doc later today or at worst tomorrow morning. We're keeping track of the transactions so when he'll be back he'll takes a moment to update it, it'll be just a copy/paste of our data on the official doc.
His ability to use correct apostrophe grammar such as "we're, we've, it's, he'll" and hyphenated phrasing like "one-day-delay" plus correct use of there, their & they're indicates a reasonable level of education and care with what's being written.
Now compare that to the supposed PMs Grandom303 has recreated above and ask yourself this question: Why would the dev, having written all his posts with a high degree of correct grammar and sentence structuring, suddenly start writing PMs with all the skill of.....well.....let's see....who could we compare those PMs to.....mmm.....I know, Grandom303!!!
Second thing- if you dont want to believe-dont believe- let people have their own opinion
This is a dialogue with cypher dev and other dev team member. As you can see issue doesnt be like it looks like. The only one target they want is to eran a lot of many. It is a well built project to earn as much money as it is possible. It is just a SCAM . Very well prepared scam...
I'll leave it up to all intelligent readers to arrive at their own conclusions about Grandom303's intentions here.
