People found out the devs have dumped all their premine before doing the BlockNET. There is fear that the primary focus won't be on finishing XCurrency since there is no longer any financial incentive for the devs to do so.
The problem is with the PoW structured to be a pump and dump. The largest holders had a cost acquisition of .02 - .05 per coin. When they see the devs dumping they follow suite. No new money is going to come into a closed sourced coin when there are open sourced coins available. The reasons for this are
A - It's provable that the developer has done what he says he has. Community is full of prying eyes.
B - It's possible for another dev to pick up where old dev left off if he leaves, gets hit by a bus etc.
C - There is a re-assurance that the dev is doing for more than fiscal gain but actually for a sold out belief in a cause (in some instances). Since anyone can clone it the challenge is "If you can do a better job than I can - I'll give you a head start. Here's my code. I want to see this happen more than I want to financially benefit from it."
This isn't always the case for all open source coins.
P.S. For everyone in this thread that came over and said I was too greedy and had just myself to blame for losing money to the XC dev who did the ASIC scam. Back at you.
You were greedy and stupid to buy into a closed source marketing trick. At least I get to put my scammer behind bars
