It was clearly stated from the start that v1 won't be that impressive. However it was coded from the scratch. V2 is decentralized, anonymous and easy to use/become a node. Its ok if you don't want to invest right now, hopefully you will when we surpass dark. This coin is still growing and is very new.
Holy fuck, you're lying and retarded.
It's forked from Mintcoin - if you look at the github repository he even left a bunch of Mintcoin files in because he's a fucktard and not capable of developing anything:

Of course it is forked! Forking from Mintcoin is a wise decision, btw.
