I contribute as community manager of the crypto project Nimiq, a project inspired by Bitcoin that uses different technologies (Merkle Tries, Mini Blockchain Scheme, NiPoPoWs) to create a compact Blockchain with nodes that can run inside of a Browser. You can to test our tech by visiting https://getsome.nimiq.com.
Nimiq was launched on June 06, 2017. Since then we have used Bitcointalk as one of the informative channels to keep Nimiq supporters updated. At the beginning of January, a group of users was created on Bitcointalk with the sole purpose of discrediting the project, spreading FUD that can be (and have been) easily proven wrong

Recently, these users were created with exactly the same behavior since their first post.

These users’ entire history in Bitcointalk is formed by aggressive partially racist insults, non-factual statements and outright lies. Nimiq has always being known by its supporters because of its transparency. During these users’ attempt to damage the reputation of the project, a Reddit AMA was held without any participation of these users. A serious effort was made to clear any doubts of Bitcointalk readers about the claims from these users. It is clear that they only want to spam the thread, making it impossible for anybody to participate in a normal way.
We think the behaviour of these users goes against the very purpose of Bitcointalk (or any forum). Checking our thread it is easy to see that Nimiq has always answered all questions, keeping honesty and transparency in high value. We ask for help to keep the thread civilized, allowing Bitcointalk readers to be able to read it.
This is totally false. They are being accused by their own president / CEO that these people are running a scam. Robin Linus is the founder of the project. They hijacked the project from the founder himself, while he still the president of the Project.

Their boss and President knows that they run fake acccounts on Reddit, Telegramn, Discord and Bitcointalk

They made handshake deals behind the closed doors looking to finance with 1/3 of the funds (over 3 million dollar) a cannabis user ( Robin Linus addmited on Redit AMA to have a "severe cannabis addiction"). We never knew about this, until Robin Linus dropped the bomb that the promised funds (they signed documents) were never delivered.

Now they just took the power from their own President hijacking his project.

What transparency? Seriously!! What transparency !! There is absolutely no transparency. Here is a list of how liars and shady are these scammers from nimiq
1. We found out after 8 months that Robin Linus founder of the project became a severe drug addict.
2. They never talked about any fight between Robin Linus and the rest of the team. After 8 months, Robin became from the dark and just uncovered how shady team nimiq is and he has an internal fight with the rest of the team for over a year.
3. They lied to us for 6 months that Robin was still in the project doing research, while he didn't do anything and he was back home in Germany getting medical attention to solve his "severe drug addiction" to cannabis
4. They never explained that they spent 1.1 million dollars of their ICO (10%) in order to buy a mansion.
5. They are accused by the founder of the project to be running a fake volume trading bot.
6. They didn't communicate anything about their salaries only the fact that they spent 5 million dollars in a year of running the operations. In over 2 years, they only made a report without proofs (there is no proof in that document that they owned that amount of btc and eth as in the report). They should have shown us the ETH and BTC addresses.
7. Robin accused them of paying shillers and having members with fake accounts to promote the project. They always refused this.
8. They showed us a document that they removed Robin from the project, but this is impossible (another lie) because Robin Linus is the president of the foundation and they simply can't fire Robin from that position.
9. After the document, they just forgot to mention that they commited 1/3 (YES, ONE THIRD) of the ENTIRE ICO MONEY to Robin Linus after they kicked him out from the project.
10. Robin accused them to have really generous salaries and asked them to reduce their salaries down to $80k/month, taking in consideration that the members get paid in nims but also from the ICO money
11. They are not interested in the ICO money, and nobody except Robin cared about the ICO investors who lost over 98% of their investment, while the team decided to buy a 1.1 million dollar villa in Costa Rica.
After 6 months to proving them that they use cannabis and other drugs, their CEO/Founder/President of Nimiq Foundation admitted that he can not work anymore because of the drugs he use and 2 days ago we found the video proof that they have a full bag of cannabis on their working table in Costa Rica

Is that FUD? No, it is the reality instead. These people are scammers deceiving people to believe that they want. I don't give a shit about their scam project. I have lost tremendous money. The price of their stupid coin is -99.99% of the initial price (ICO).
