I can tell you, 100%, it's a scam, as I didn't authorize it. ;D

While I'm flattered someone made a coin after me, I definitely wouldn't buy it. ::)

LOL, they copied even the node IP addresses from some dead shitcoin from 7 years ago. Looks like a very lazy scammer.

Yeah they or he/she are realy lazy on that , but i guess they are connected or possible the same User with the Fake Accounts , but dont know exactly.
Yesterday a few ANNs was created without any links first and after a few hours they got all links in there where you can download the wallet or the Github.
But i can be wrong on that and today you know all is possible and if they cam scam like this they doing it.
