eETC's announcement vanished almost as soon as it was announced. Something seemed fishy.
I would hold off on signing up for eETC at least until (and if) their announcement turns back up.
Is there any way they could scam us somehow? The worst that can happen is that we dont get free coins? Im I missing something out?
No, at most what he can do is cash out early and make the coin worthless. I think the creator of eBTC was quite brilliant in what he did with the coin, he created an abstract concept "bitcoin on ethereum network" which was bound to turn some heads in the market, and also the fact that he named himself "Satoshi" and posted a couple of announcements that he wanted to expand the dev team bosted the price of a worthless coin a lot.
