In case anyone really cares what coin I was talking about on Reddit, it was
Flappycoin. I couldn't be sure I remembered which coin it was when I was talking on Reddit and I didn't want to make a false accusation, so I never identified the coin. For this comment, I had to come back here and look for comments I recognized to make sure I identified the coin correctly. I
did say on Reddit that I wasn't talking about
Crypto Apples, though, so no one had any reason to think I was talking about anything related to this coin.
The announcement for the
first Flappycoin was dated Feb 10. The
second Flappycoin announced and launched on Feb 14 before the first one was ready to launch. (There might have been other launch announcements made elsewhere, but I didn't see anything that disputed which one announced first.) Naturally, the devs for the first
were pissed. Most people didn't seem to care, though. From the second Flappycoin thread after the dev complained:
Who early who win
First to market is always a HUGE advantage.
If the no-premine is true (although I don't think I can see any blocks before 480 on the pool - correct me if I'm wrong), and it was just "launched", unless certain people were in the know, it was a "first come first served" release.
Either way, let the battle for domination commence!!!!
150MH/S and growing....
And no, it wasn't a matter of a launch failing. The one that pre-announced didn't try to launch before the other one was already going. IIRC, people talked in the flappycoin threads about similar things happening to other coins, but I'm not going to bother searching just to prove what I read a month ago.
Anyway, I don't know why anything I said on Reddit about
Flappycoin (even if it were wrong) would be a concern to anyone who was involved in this coin.
So please explain why this got dug up for discussion here.
