Yes, I am that one person. But, I think everyone is missing my point. But, first off I would like to say that I was not an investor or a miner or anything else associated with that coin and had never even heard of it until it made the news as the biggest screw job in crypto-coin history. You can even check my posts on the matter (it was awhile ago so you may have to go far back) to see that I was warning people to get out (there were still true believers even after the debacle) after the news hit and no comments beforehand (as I had never heard of it).
I would also like to say, that no one, and I mean no one should listen to a PND investor when it comes to PANDA. The entire reason for existing of PND was to poke a stick in the eye of PANDA holders.
I actually agree with every word in the quoted part, except "holders".
You shouldn't trust a PND comunity member with regards to PANDA, that's why I stated a full disclosure. But do your own research!
But PND wasn't made to poke a stick int the eye of PANDA "holders". It was made to screw the devs, yes. Because the devs were/are scammers and had already scammed people. Some of those are actually capable people.
I am sorry that people invested in PANDA nontheless. I got scammed myself on a (different) occasion, and it serves me well, for the future.
Meanwhile, their coin went to zero as well as apparently hate was not enough to fuel buyers.
But I can't agree on the second part of your post. You see, in the beginning PND was made to screw wolong, jacobux and co., and it succeded.
The interest was getting low, and it was delisted from the BTC markets. I've come around the PND comunity around that time.
That's when something magical happened. People started asking what was the future for PND, should we just let it go? PoS and merged mining was being discussed. A multipool was made for PND, and come on, how many coins can take pride in their own multipool? The dev made 3 tipbots. I started 1#, some other anon made dice and stuff.
Right now, the value is rising steadily. A comunity has formed, determined to made something more of PND.
Maybe a month ago it would seem that it would make a good candidate for this thread's pool. But we're making it on ourselves. And it's a great experience.
tl;dr:
1. PANDA is a scam, revive good coins not scams
2. PND has become much more since the initial release, check out the recent trends.
