The dev fund has been completely transparent for several months (https://chainz.cryptoid.info/nix/address.dws?38526.htm & https://medium.com/@nixplatform/nix-platform-off-chain-governance-bf4bfe474f6). These accusations are merely just ways to make yourself feel better for the market conditions by putting blame on people.

From the team via discord:

"We are moving away from the term custom DPoS for our consensus model and using LPoS (Leasing proof of stake - credits to wave for coining that term) as it fits the description of our model more clearly and to avoid any discrepancy of the consensus description.
With LPoS you will be able to lease your coins to merchants or other third parties so they can stake on your behalf and claim a percentage reward you allow in the initial contract. For example, party A leases 500 nix to party B allowing a 5% fee reward. Party B can now stake those 500 coins, when party B hits a stake, they are allowed to take 5% of the stake reward leaving party A to now own 500 + stake reward - 5% of stake reward. Party B can continue to stake those coins as long as the leasing contract is active. Party A can void that contract whenever he or she wants.

And to be clear, Party A can make a leasing contract that takes 0% fee, this can be used as a simple cold staking script if he or she wants to cold stake via their own computer."

Apart from Waves which does not function on BTC protocol, NIX is the only BTC protocol platform to offer LPoS.

I really don't think you understand any of this stuff... maybe ask some questions on what you are not understanding. If other cryptographic protocols are added, you think it doesnt matter and the privacy added is zerocoin? That sounds pretty silly, if you do not understand the reason for piecing the ghost protocol the way it is layered, then you do not understand the project. Cannot really help you there. Your logic is this: NIX's privacy offered is zerocoin, if it adds commitment key packs, or bullet proofs or anything else that compliments other protocols it uses, it is still zerocoin...

assume you did not read the commitment key packs paper.... if you are saying pedersen commitments is zerocoin, you have no idea what any of this actually is. Pedersen commitments are a type of commitment scheme which is used to create addressless transactions. They use the pedersen commitments cryptography to allow for borderless zerocoin deposits. that itself is a seperate protocol from zerocoin, and can be used for any protocol. commitment key packs are not tied to zerocoin, it can use any type of cryptographic privacy. commitment key packs just creates an addressless transaction layer that in nix's case uses zerocoin to facilitate the transaction. for example, commitment key packs can use zerocash protocol or CT/ring ct, it doesnt matter in that regard. they are seperate protocols. dyor, read the paper, and make sound arguments.
what you are saying is like saying cryptocurrency IS blockchain tech, when actually, cryptocurrency uses blockchain as one of many tools to achieve its goal. Sure crypto uses blockchain, but it can also use hashgraphs and other similar data structures.
