Someone DDOS Honorcoin site and then spread FUD here with newbie accounts.
To think the dev isn't checking the forum just because it was the weekend is ridiculous. Most devs will at least check the thread to see what's going on even if they don't respond. He knows what's going. If it wasn't a scam he would at least stick his head in here and make a post. The XC dev posts constantly, not matter if it's the weekend, morning, noon, or night. Honorcoin knows exactly what's happening. You are all naive if you think devs don't check the threads constantly.
It's also illogical to put down your site just before a scheduled announcement. If I was scamming, I just let it run since I already paid for the hosting. If I was trading via FUD, this is a technique to buy cheap when the price can go as high as 10k sats.
