I guess i would do the exact same thing these days launching a coin. With all that negativity and fights between coins and their followers. If one doesn't like that policy don't invest, move on. I have invested in coins of "nice" devs that let anything happen to their projects and nothing fucked me more than those investments (grain, frozen after takeover).
And that Scam thread seems just as fishy to me as the accusations made in it. those pool pictures are from the pos fase not the pow mining fase with lots of GHs and miners at the time. I mean c'mon. new account.
I don't get that whole premine crying anyway, be it dark, lyberty or any other coin . do you complain about zuckerberg owning 50 % of facebook?. He build that shit.
If i think a coin has the potential to make me rich i don't care if it makes someone else even richer, specially if its the person or team puttin in the work. you expect the same rewards as the devs for making 2 mouseclicks in a mining pool or exchange? thats what i would consider a Scam.
I don't know how many xlb be IE has but i hope its alot. he can become the next bill gates as long as he makes me a "just" a millionaire on the way
that name alone is good enough for ten mil marketcap so they would be stupid to stop here, i don't think they will. they know they are onto something big, planned or by accident.
No one in here is crying about premine. If I were ever to release a coin, I would very likely premine a certain amount of it and be upfront about it. I do think a coin dev should be the first to profit from his work, as long as he's not being dishonest and cheating people.
The issue I raised in this thread is a suspicious lack of transparency. There is a pattern to what is going on in the LibertyCoin thread, and other threads as well. Now IconicExpert is touting himself as the new lead developer of XLB. I wouldn't be at all surprised if he has been the dev, or one of the devs all along.
The thing that bothers me most about IconicExpert (besides his asinine name--InfantileEgo?) is that he misappropriated the funds of BlackCoin supporters. Said he was donating it to charity, instead of the purpose for which it had been donated. Yeah right. That is bullshit, no matter how you slice it. IE has not made made it right. If LibertyCoin is not IconicExpert, then he would have to be an idiot to hand over the PR of his coin to someone with a taint like that on them. The more I read what's going on over there, the more it sounds to me like a sock-puppet-fest.
