a project of such large size would surely want to put things right rather than ignoring scam accusations. Because negative trust ratings have very bad implications on Bitcointalk, effectively damaging the project's reputation over the long-term. In the crypto world transparency is a must. Cutting bounty rewards like that is unprofessional.

I'd would expect them to fix it by paying the correct amount ASAP to restore trust

this project has a great active community of cryptostars and theyre growing it with a lot of energy every day. both in size and awesomeness.

come and check out the captain and the community of parachuters

Very good idea! This way Monero can attract real users!

I heard Monero only has about 50-100 active users at the moment? Is this really the case?
