For anyone confused by what happened over the past day I would really recommend going over to the ZEL Discord. The devs have already held a full Q&A about everything that's been happening over the last day, and are still actively answering questions for those who are still catching up.

Kicking up a lot of accusations on the ANN won't help you understand. It just undermines the coin by spreading rumors.

After you've talked with the devs feel free to make up your own mind on what you want to do next.

From my perspective they handled an unfortunate situation with a lot of class, and I've already gone back to mining.
