or how about "it's just for fun"
and i take that quote right from one of the first and most used Scrypt cloning guides posted online.
he said he does it for and i quote..
..for fun and profit
Who ? the dev who made pennies (the guy who had half off all coins on Cryptsy before)
he abandoned that name way back a while before he put a virus in a sneaky wallet update.
his wallet was posted with no matching source code (the code on his site was for a previous version)
i was tipped off couple years back when a guy i know said go grab it and look..
sure enough he embedded a keylogger / trojan in his wallet binary for windows LOL
and yeah i still have the files to this day and i would swear on a bible i got it from the Pennies (CENT) web site myself.
the guy that tipped me off said it was fishy because of the source code mis-match.
i checked it myself manually with a variety of tools including a hex editor and there was a large extra hidden pay load embedded in the .exe
he used some kind of .exe joiner on the compiled windows wallet.
kind of funny back then he never showed his face ever again as..
SHAKEZULUbut i can a sure you all him and his best friends at
Cryptsy never left LOL
I also got confirmation from Virus Total and saved the link in my bookmarks..

i'll give you all a hint why.. i created a topic about that LOL
so no wonder so many of these sneaky little pricks hate me ahahah
i have far more credibility then most of the dev's around here will ever have
and i have spent years hanging around here exposing them and keeping a log of their scammy antics
so i can bring it up again later when they show their face (if they dare)
the sickening part of that is i mentioned it countless times and ALL of you just keep using the guys coins AHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAH
i laugh at you all because your so foolish and gullible it's not even funny.
that incident should have gotten all his coin pulled from all exchanges and a public out cry should have erupted
and instead not one person said a word.. no matter how many times i have reposted that info above.
you guys are a real classy
greedy bunch LOL
