The clown launches a 5000% POS coin, 3 day proof of work (1 million coins) and then only posts it on bitcointalk with 1 day to go. Classy!

I just want to clear the air here. I helped launch Snowballs (BALLS) and tended to the original OP that was posted. 'I Got Spots' was banned from BitCoinTalk because of a feud that originated a few days earlier that was related to a special staking mechanism similar to PeerCoin which allowed for staking to occur while the wallet was not only closed but also while it was on the exchange which instead of the proprietor of the exchange getting the staking, the owner of the coin would be the one rewarded. Frankly to me, this was quite extraordinary and could not understand why he would be banned but indeed he was.
So I assisted in helping where I could when Snowballs launched which ended up being here on BitCoinTalk. The first OP is still there today but locked down as it should be. I would estimate it was one day before 'I Got Spots' was let off his ban and he immediately started a new OP. There was a thank you to me but I no longer see it in the OP. The only error I made was when I re-added more pools to the OP, I accidentally deleted a pool that looked the same but was not. There was one gentleman that was upset about that, if this is you, then I want you to know that I still have all the forwarded messages from 'I Got Spots' in regards to the Snowballs launch and you are welcome to contact me privately just as we communicated last time and I will be glad to provide those to you.
There was absolutely no pre-mine. 'I Got Spots' is dead against pre-mines unless its maybe an ICO or something. I will say that what I got out of helping, I made a horrible error once again and deposited the Snowballs into an exchange I never heard of that had buy walls offering unheard of pricing. I was able to trade the Snowballs for nearly 6 BTC because they were offering buys at like 0.001 BTC. However when I tried to withdraw I soon found out that the exchange 'HashNZ' was a bogus exchange. It took me a week and through the help of 'Linus Dunkers' to convince me that the BTC or Snowballs was not coming back and indeed those people running the exchange were not good people.
I am a 5+ POD Rated Developer. I have developed one Coin all on my own and assisted other developers on probably half a dozen coins and all of them are still running with a market cap. I have been involved in BitCoin since 2011 and ran an early BitCoin Blog. I worked for nearly a year as a volunteer moderator for Jim at CryptoCoinTalk plus have volunteered virtually at the 'Association for Digital Currency' in Washington DC for CEO Rick Shaddock where I still hold a chair on the Board of Directors.
I have been privileged to be able to work on a few occasions with 'I Got Spots'. A lot of the valuable methods I use during development I have learned from him. I have never seen anything that I would consider nefarious in his regards, otherwise I would have nothing to do with him. My experiences and observations in a learned environment have been text book working with him. Now I am not saying that he does not have his faults. I learned over time to not introduce him to my friends because he lasts about 5 minutes then eats them for lunch. I have never seen anyone piss someone off as fast as he does. However its always over their opinion and not based on the facts which is all that he knows through experience.
'I Got Spots' is undeniably one of our top developers. Now please do not think I am driving his ambulance because I am not. When I was invited onto IRC during the development stages of that special staking similar to PeerCoin, the people that were there assisting in that development were some of the people that pioneered this CryptoCurrency Revolution. I will not name names but honestly I was very impressed by who they were. Four years in BitCoin never got me that close to those developers but sure as heck being a guest invite from 'I Got Spots' did.
Please do not FUD me. If you want to contact me send me a PM and I will do my best to get back to you ASAP and assist you or verify my claims above to be true. I prefer to keep a low profile and primarily only engage in Crypto activity as a volunteer and researcher.
