argakiig was part of the XST devteam, but at one point decided to leave the team and create his own currency, the sonic.
Seems to me that they still do some things together

Argakiig has his own coin, Sonic. He was on the XST dev team but decided to make his own coin. He was never on the Arcoin team, just a temporary hired hand to make a block explorer. To my knowledge he does not communicate with the Arcoin developer any more. Like me, he works on his coin without any external compensation, so when a job comes around he takes it so he can eat, feed his family, and buy things he needs.
Argakiig and I collaborate all the time. We develop code together and we have ideas together. Each coin is a test bed for different technologies that will go into the other at some point. This is typically how altcoins progress anyway, except in our case it's not an adversarial relationship. For example, the StealthCoin team developed anonymous SMS transactions, and Sonic extended this idea to steganographic transactions.
For each coin, major technological innovations will not overlap until long after the markets have absorbed the impact of these innovations. But on minor points there will be overlap. Collaboration, rather than conflict, is the future direction of crypto-currencies. Given the history of conflict within these markets, it may be hard to accept a new paradigm of collaboration, but it's happening.

It's sad to see and know this is happening. Once a scammer always a scammer. So when a job comes with another coin and they need this code he will then sell to feed his family. Instead of invest in one product and make it big he is just create the code and sell it. There will be many coins just like this to come. Sound like loljoe products to me at this point.
Get over yourself. XST has been like this since early on judging from the way the dev talks about things. All of a sudden you are unhappy about it. Arcoin may be a scam, but these devs are not.
Also, who said anything about selling code? There are lots of sites out there that offer block explorers and other services. Are they all scammers too?
Is the guy who sold Bernie Madoff is shoes also a scammer?
You have a twisted view of reality if you think people can't be in business.
