Well.. I'm not the type of person that would post negative things in a main thread.. but since this side thread will be seen by a lot less of the holders..
Another NTRN takeover? I hate to be that guy but.. NTRN was a pretty obvious scam pump from the start. It's so broken by now that I don't think it can be fixed.
1: "Noob" launched high inflation coins and immediately leaves, creates freefall price.
2: That guy collects as much as possible.
3: Guy pretends to be takeover dev, announces roadmap to be released in 7 parts over 7 days.
4: Puts whatever BS he can think of in the roadmap, and sells off into the support then leaves.
Now I've seen this show a million times so it was pretty obvious to me. I took a wild guess and got in during #2 and it paid off well.
Point is I haven't been paying much attention since #3.. however the guys in my slack group have and I've been trying to skim what they say about it.
Someone managed to get Masternodes added, only they are totally broken and have seriously damaged the coin. Let me pull some quotes.
The coin will not and cannot ever get off the ground. The exploit I discovered had been in use for over a month by many of the largest wallets. By now at least 33% of all coins in existence are tainted by this bug. Even if someone is foolish enough to try and fork the coin - what good will that do? The distribution is permanently fucked by those who used the exploit. I'm pissed off because I invested over 8.8 BTC into NTRN and then I find out there were people staking 300% more NTRN than me for god knows how long. Even if they created a new coin and established a coin swap - the distribution would still be fucked. You would have these illegitimate stakers getting a far larger proportion of the coins than they are entitled to. Which begs the question - why bother making a new coin at all? There are plenty of decent coins out there to have a punt on that aren't permanently screwed.
proof of exploit allowing 300% more stakes per block and total avoidance of paying masternodes -> suddenly a wild third takeover appears -> Gee, I wonder what they will happen with all those illegitimate coins? lol
All you have to do is make a config file, one line "listen=0" and save it in the AppData Neutron location. Done. You will forever recieve 38.x NTRN per block and never pay a masternode again. You cannot tell me that this coin is worth saving - not now. its possibly the worst possible investment out there because not only has it got no volume or interest outside of teh fanboy club, it is more or less a scam - and indeed appears to have been from the outset. A third takeover? Comeone - just be straight with everyone and call it what it is - a final attempted pump so the bagholders remaining can dump. The goose is cooked guys.
Your best bet is to find someone trustworthy that is willing to make an entirely new coin (without masternodes) and swap to a non-broken chain. Even then it's a band-aid for the bag holders because the distribution is so fucked.
Goodluck though.. seruously.. I do not envy the position NTRN bagholders have been thrown in.
