Personally I didn't lose anything on Weiner coins, I just mined them, a couple were pretty profitable like that blake coin he made where you could mine and dump 3 coins for btc and the 4th coin his coin you could trade for NAUT. I really can't hate on him for that one.
He only broke code Bryce did not make any coins imho especially a Blake based coin he does not even seem to be able to compile coin wallets atm
most if not all the working code and compiled wallets for his coins seem to be done by other devs wonder why
you can see from the github commits I was the fool who fixed and got Dirac working and also ran all the nodes and merged mined it on my pools but I am working on other projects namely the mmo games and Bryce did not like that as I would not do anymore work on coins and would not setup a merged pool on demand which resulted in him getting very abusive to me via DM and email which you can see some of that here:
https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.9527356I never asked for any type of payment for any thing I have done with Blake based coin projects and I also really dislike the premine and ipo/ico crap that is also far too common if anyone wants to send coins to a dev because they have actually done some work great but these other schemes should be avoided as there is not any proof a dev will produce results after they have x% of a coin they claim to be the dev of or a big bag of BTC
atm I am stuck with running the nodes for XDQ and maintaining it on the merged pools and it sucks but from the 30/11/2014 Dirac XDQ will no longer be mined on the Blakecoin.com merged pools, few more coins in the merge since Dirac anyways and room for more main issue is finding other good devs that want to make Blake based coins far too many multi account scammers about who just want to do P&D scams and not do any development or find uses for the coins they are involved in
I will continue as before doing what developers should do which is developing systems and maintaining projects over time not marketing, hype, spin, false promises of "Profit"
Talk is cheap results are what counts
Note: Market price does not equal results or development as they are far to easy to manipulate and is often the way these scam coins are hyped
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greater_fool_theory Edit:
Another thing I know for sure is that Bryce uses multiple accounts both here and on twitter (both haters and lovers which is kind of weird)
it would not surprise me if he setup an account just so he could say it was not him after paying someone to make the coin for him
I'll go and do it myself. If I can't do it I'll pay someone to do it.
