This thread is in my watchlist, and for the past 10 pages or so I have been reading mostly utter crap going back and forth.
To be very honest, I find it somewhat shameful and disappointing to read that the dev's are tempted into certain reactions, and express themselves in a way that's not very different from the unwanted element they would like to see leave, regardless the reason for it.
If it were just one dev coming by or so, well ok. Yet more than half the team has been repeatedly coming by, tumbling over again and again tempted into reactions with muddy and unprofessional content.
I'm very honest to say that I was intrigued by this project; and equally honest is expressing myself in reading them dev's behaving and reacting as such as they did for the past 10 pages, if I were to live in the country being targeted, I think I'd rather prefer to have and deal with the Bitcoin or any other coin instead of the Aurora...
Seriously, my gosh...
You are right, this is not something we want.
For over 6 months or a year we have been refraining ourselves from speaking out because of the local troll on this thread and hoping he would go away. This person has been trying to scam people on this thread by impersonating himself as the spokesperson for Auroracoin and derailing the informative conversation that happens on this thread.
Because of how much energy and passion the dev team has been putting into this project something just snapped the other day, when the troll started spewing his poison all over the thread once again
During the last 2-3 months we have been thinking about moderating the thread but didn't want to take it that far. Perhaps that's just what we have to do.
