I hate EnjinCoin.
I've used the Enjin forums for almost 7 years while I was an avid Minecraft player across many communities whose forums were hosted on Enjin.
As Minecraft died, so has Enjin. They claim that a majority of their communities are not Minecraft but if you sort through their top communities 90% represent Minecraft servers that see inactive/have shutdown. I still was somewhat active on Enjin as it was my way to keep in contact with many of my Minecraft friends over the years. I had over 10,000 profile views, hundreds of friends and over a thousand forum posts through my activity.
Although Minecraft and Enjin continued to decline, I followed Enjin Coin from the beginning in high hopes of the implementations for Minecraft servers, which was marketed initially as the major focus.
The more time passed, the more the project drifted away from Minecraft and into baseless hype. Minecraft integration was to be the first development for last fall. It was delayed for the end of 2017 and delayed again and again. There is still not a single server that integrates EnjinCoin.
Anyways, as EnjinCoin focused on other initiatives, and in conjunction with increasing proof that their parent company was dying, I grew more and more skeptical of the project.
A major flag set off when ENJ announced their Effinitg Network, which was a substance-less announcement where they ripped the ideas from another project (one that I work with, called XAYA) that has been developing blockchain gaming since 2013. Long story short, they took the buzz words to pump the price. Their promises for Effinity are not possible given limitations of Ethereum (but this is a conversation for another thread).
Anyways, as I became increasingly aware of foul play I grew more vocal about my concerns. I was banned from Telegram and Reddit temporarily.
Over Winter, I had contacted the two largest communities of the 100+ Minecraft "sponsor" communities (many of which published had already gone inactive). I asked these communities (Minecade and Dungeon Realms) what their exact plans were for EnjinCoin integration. Neither administration was even aware of such a thing as EnjinCoin, and I published this information later on.
EnjinCoin refused to address my concerns. Instead, they banned my Enjin forum account and deleted my threads that proved the project had been lying about sponsors. That account was my medium to communicate with my buds and get caught up with my old communities. I felt betrayed that a company had shifted so much and threw out my support for so long.
Long story short, I hate EnjinCoin.
This is interesting, thanks for this information. This is really poor of them. Do you think ENJ is dead?
