I think you are abusing your power as the OP to call it a scam.
1). The so-called banned post is clearly live. I saw that post right before visting this thread.
2). Banning a speculation reddit post about the possibility of ASIC does not make a coin scam
3). No hard fork = scam? I guess most cyptos are scam.
Yeah I suggest that OP remove the scam tag. There is no conclusive proof or evidence that there are indeed ASICs in the network.
There can't be definitive proof of ASICs being on the network and that's really besides the point here. Miners can disguise their hashrate, solo mine etc. But even under those conditions we see absurd hashates from the top minees on pools.
The fact that developers falsely advertised the coin as ASIC proof is really what matters. The coin's chain is under constant threat of attack this way and the ASICs already in existence could do so easily. Not to mention that such an algorithm would allow for the creation of further ASICs.
I'm sorry but the more comments I read from you the more I realize that it's a case of poor Due Diligence.
1). Your entire claim is based on one speculative Reddit post. If you read the comment section of that post, you would realize how wrong /u/kamencco (the OP) was (i.e. not fully understanding what scrypt-n is).
2). Taking a step back (assume GRLC isn't ASIC resistant). The coin started off as a meme coin. To most ppl (probably even the devs), scrypt-n is analogous to ASIC-resistant. It's highly defamatory to accuse the devs as scammers. They clearly didn't intend to use "ASIC resistance" as the platform to rip other redditors off. (Of course, there might be a rogue dev right now but I'm pretty sure you weren't specifically describing him).
It's fine to hate GRLC and give constructive criticisms about the coin. However, it's unfair to make sweeping accusations about the coin (i.e. calling it a scam). Also, note that GRLC is a month old meme coin. So please make balanced comparison with decade old currency disruptor like bitcoin.
