Hello guys, very interesting discussion here!
It is truth that it is often difficult to find out what's going on! AdamSmith, please, PM me if you find something interesting about BitsharesX, I am also interested in the investigation.
By the way, I decided to organise the service which will investigate all these stories about new currencies, so guys if you have any interesting facts about coins - PM or use my site, I am looking for different materials to write informative and analytical articles which will help everyone to understand what's going on!
And if you want to participate in investigation - you are welcome to join my team
