Some quick facts:
- The moneysupply is decided by the network. There is no fixed number for Bittrex to compare against. The moneysupply went up due to the dev's trojan, and if Bittrex checked against the moneysupply they would have been checking against the new huge number, just like everyone else on the network.
- Check the github tree. The new 1.2.0 release was not submitted as a patch, the entire repo was replaced. This was certainly intentional to try to make it harder to see what changed. Both to hide how obvious the original trojan was, and probably to hide the new trojan that was added in 1.2.0. There is likely no "correct" or "clean" fork, just a choice between two trojanned forks.
- The 1.2.0 release was committed by linked67, not the original dev. Interesting. Maybe he forgot to sign out of his real account and into his shill account.
- I lost money on this coin, but I don't blame Bittrex one bit. They allowed people to buy and sell Ninjacoin, that is their role as an exchange. Ninjacoin was a shitty trojanned product and there should have been no buyers, but lots of people bought anyway. It's like blaming NYSE because Enron when bust. Bittrex didn't force you to buy a shitty coin, they just gave you the opportunity to make a poor decision. And in this case the source code was even out there for anyone to review and nobody did.
In summary if you bought this coin you bought a coin that was publicly designed to inflate the money supply at block 14000. Bittrex allowed you to do that. Congratulations on your purchase, next time you'll be more cautious about what you buy. I know I will.
I'm not affiliated with Bittrex, just pointing out some facts. Your hatred should be directed at the dev.
So you have to investigate the code of every coin that you buy? I'd rather trade on Polo and feel secure the code has been reviewed/
Spoken like a true butt hurt nerd. GET REKT!
