The people buying ethercoin know it is completely unrelated to Ethereum, right?

Just saw the ethercoin market. It claims that once ethereum goes live one can redeem 1 ethercoin for 1 ether.

So yall are just going to trust this and go out and buy ethercoin (at 10x the price that Ethereum was for its pre-sale) and really think it'll be redeemable for ether?
Even if it truly is redeemable, I think you'd be nuts to buy at those prices.

I don't get why people would invest in Ethereum when Maidsafe seems like a more solid project that does everything Ethereum attempts to do.

Ethereum has a permanent linear inflation model. Have the IPO buyers donated or made a sound investment decision?
