What you think makes something a scam.... Isn't what makes something a scam.
It's a fork of monero. They openly stated this. It's only really an issue when somebody lies about their codebase and gets caught. As to hackerone they absolutely had original code facilitating the release. Its a fork, NOT A CLONE.
I had my coins within 30 minutes on cryptopia, there was lag but being experienced with such things i knew to refresh, go back, open tabs etc. To get around issues instead of sitting at a dead end for hours or days.
They have partnerships that are large enough to give it a usecase and a real market.
How can this be a scam? What, because you don't like it? I'm not the type to defend scams, I will however call out a false accusation.
dude, compare the githubs, they litterally did nothing except changing names from 'monero' to 'electroneum', changing a port number and some other superficial crap...
https://github.com/monero-project/monero/compare/master...electroneum:master --> click on 'file changes' and have a good hard look at just what they did and tell me it's not a copy...
further more please compare the 2 white papers:
https://cryptonote.org/whitepaper.pdfhttps://electroneum.com/technical-white-paper.pdfthey use wording like 'our algorithm'... it's totally not their algorithm... it's just plagiarized
If you don't see this is a scam, than I really can't help you, I'm sorry... I mean, their github is a copy of monero's with a few namechanges, their white paper is plagiarized from the cryptonote-white paper... how much more proof do you need?
